Testimonial for Jenny Putnam, CD(DONA), CLC
My husband and I were expecting our first child in late June 2021 and while we'd done as much research and taken all the virtual courses we could to feel prepared, we decided to choose a doula who could assist us in the process as we were still anxious. We're so glad we chose to go with Jenny and her recommendations! We met with her at our home to discuss our birth plan, concerns and questions and were very at-ease with her approach and manner. We felt respected, supported and encouraged as well as having peace of mind with her on our team.
In the end, I was induced and gave birth one week after my due date which ended up being July 4th. Jenny had let us know she would be on vacation from July 3rd on and so had previously arranged for a backup doula, Rophe Mason, to meet and work with us ahead of time in case this situation arose. Rophe was a great choice for us and was close by to our hospital for being on-call the morning of the birth; she was a great support to myself and my husband and encouraged him in his coaching and in my labor techniques; and she really took charge in the birthing room making sure we were calm and informed of what was happening as well as speaking up for our wishes and working with the nurses through the entire process (which sped by in only 4 hours of active labor and birth!).
We could not be more pleased with our choice of Jenny and her recommendation of Rophe and plan to use them again in the future. You'll be in the best hands with these caring and experienced professionals for your birthing needs!
