Testimonial for Jessica Johnson
I'm a first time mom and my experience with Jess was absolutely fantastic. At about 20 weeks we realized that we may want to attempt a more "natural" birth experience at the hospital...meaning, attempting to go for a low intervention, epidural-free birth. My OBs weren't 100% aligned with my wishes, and I knew that having a doula would be a great way to stick to our plan even in the face of potential disagreements with my doctors.
I was introduced to Jess and immediately was taken by her relaxed and present demeanor. She listened to everything I had to say and was open to my birth plan and possible changes that may have needed to occur. My partner and I knew after that first call that she was exactly the calming and soothing person we wanted to have with us throughout the birthing process. Throughout the next few weeks Jess provided us with multiple resources that were hugely helpful, and was also able to help calm me down after doctor's appointments.
Where Jess really shined was during the actual birth. We could not have done it without her! She was hugely comforting (she performed a lot of comfort measures during labor and provided me with different ways to help relieve my pain), gave us much needed guidance and reassurance, and was exactly the person that we needed to get me through labor and the birth. Even in the hospital setting with lots of distractions (and discomforts), Jess was completely tuned in to me and helped me achieve exactly the birth that I wanted.
I'd highly recommend Jess and can't wait to work with her again :)
