I was pregnant with my third child and I knew I wanted this delivery to be different than my previous two (hospital births with epidurals, my 2nd was induced at 41 weeks). My friends always recommended a Doula but I never really understood why I needed one so I never got one. I trusted that the nurses would help me. I was very mistaken. I was referred to Jessica by a mutual friend and saw her regularly for a prenatal massages and in the process we got to know each other very well! When the time came and I was in labor she met us at the birth center and began working her magic in coaching me through an experience that I was initially really scared to have - an unmedicated water birth. Jessica expertly took me through each surge by triggering pressure points and using massage to relax me and bring me comfort, as well as reassuring me, affirming me, and encouraging me. My partner was so grateful she was there too! A couple hours later I had a successful completely unmedicated water birth; a very healing birth, and I'm eternally grateful for Jessica and guiding me through that. I one hundred percent recommend Jessica as your Doula!
