During our meetings Jolynn encouraged my husband and I to educate ourselves more about all of the choices that come along with labor. She gave examples of natural ways to help get baby ready, some we tried & others we didn’t: bragging point of her, she gives you many resources & tools but never pushes you to try them. I really appreciate her for that. I woke up at 4am & thought either my water broke or baby was pushing against my bladder. We were in constant communication with Jolynn that day as we all thought I may be in early labor. Jolynn gave us factual information regarding water breaking & any risks associated with it. Contractions weren't consistent yet so we chose to wait til the next morning to go the hospital. I forgot to mention the night prior we spent a few hours with Jolynn using pressure points & other natural induction methods to help get my contractions going. Without Jolynn we don't know what would've happened. We may not have had as much insight on our own feelings related to the birth process & we may not have made our own choices. Yes the water breaking wasn't "planned" but we were able to make our own decisions with NO regrets, thanks to Jolynn. We were able to spend the first 28 hours of labor at home, relaxed & at peace. I had a full night's rest in my own bed knowing it would be my last night of sleep before becoming a mother. Jolynn is a sweetheart with an optimistic outlook. If we ever have another baby we will definitely use Jolynn’s services again. With so many unsolicited opinions about how your birth should be I strongly recommend hiring Jolynn as your Doula. She will give you research based, factual information & let you decide what’s best for you, never hinting at her own opinion. As my husband says "her Doula services are worth her weight in gold". What an amazing experience we had & we only wish the same for every mother (and father)!
