When I got the news that my unborn child has a congenital heart defect and that I would be giving birth at the children's hospital in Saskatoon I sought out a local doula for support and guidance. I was looking for someone who is experienced with high risk pregnancies and NICU babies. After a quick google search, Jenel's name popped up on my screen and ultimately became by first choice. Her combined experience as a doula, yoga instructor, massage therapist and reiki practioner makes her the whole package. She is also a blend of sugar and spice meaning she can be nurturing and comforting at the right time and still have a strong voice to inform and advocate. She has a grounded presence and works with confidence. She has a wealth of knowledge and I benefitted for the resources included in the doula package.
I built a relationship with Jenel for several months leading up to labour by booking massages and having prenatal consults. It was important to have trust in each other. When I went into labour in the middle of the night she was readily available. She guided me through the most intense and empowering birthing experience. Her presence alleviated some pressure/stress from my husband while at the same time keeping him fully involved.
Jenel provided post natal care by bringing goodies and frequent checkins.I also received videos and photos of labour and delivery.
I am fortunated that our paths cross and she was able to support me on this journey.
I highly recommend working with a doula and Jenel is an excellent choice
