Testimonial for Jennifer Michel-Wilson
When my wife first told me she was interested in getting a doula, I was kept skeptical because I thought we didn’t need a support person. But seeing how this was our first child, I figured it wouldn’t hurt. However, my expectations of Jen’s parental support services were highly exceeded. She is phenomenal. She was very knowledgeable of on all facets of pregnancy, delivery and postpartum but will never make you feel dumb or powerless. Her personality was very kind, and she was always positive and encouraging. My wife and I had many questions about birth because this was our first child, and we heard many myths and conversations regarding many touchy pregnancy topics. She was so responsive and had an answer for every question with references to back it up. Jen sets herself apart from other doulas because she was flexible with her teaching and coaching approaches, and they were practical, hands-on, polite and professional. In fact, she enabled and encouraged me to have to confidence for my wife as spouse and support partner during the wonderful experience of the birth of our first child.
As for our labor story, my wife had most of the labor at homebecause of techniques we learned from Jen and by the time we got the hospital, we were 9cm! But my wife and I were completely calm, cool and collected before, during and after labor! We had an AMAZING experience!! If you are serious about providing yourself with a reliable, trustworthy pre-natal and/or post-partum support person, Jen is the one to call!
