Testimonial for Jessica Chamberlain, Birth Doula, LC, Massage Therapist
Jessica is a dear friend of mine for 20 years. My situation was not straight forward or emotionally easy, as the father left us shortly after finding out - right when the first lockdown began.
Jessica took on the dual role of being my cheering section and doula. She walked with me (literally and figuratively) through my Covid lockdown pregnancy, shared in my excitement at all the crazy milestones - like feeling those first sweet kicks on my belly.
Because she holds sacred a person’s right to have the birth that they want and need, Jessica is able to tactfully campaign for her clients to orchestrate the best possible outcome, and give them a sense of control when they need it the most.
She’s the one you want in your corner.
As long as I’ve known Jessica, she has been an outspoken advocate for those who can’t speak for themselves. I knew I would need that while in labor.
With Jessica as my doula, I was given peace of mind about the “what-if’s”. I knew that I couldn’t predict all the different scenarios that could pop up when it came time to give birth. Luckily, preparing for unpredictable situations is where Jessica’s brain is brilliant. Always a few steps ahead of the game.
Around 3am the night I went into labor with my daughter, I started to panic because I realized I couldn’t pee, and hadn’t gone in over 12 hours. Jessica was at my house right away with her toddler’s squatty potty and helped me onto it keeping me calm. She delegated a friend to shovel the sidewalk for me, and drove me to the birth center where she helped me stay calm and comforted me which gave me all the mental space I needed in order to get that baby out!
I’m so lucky she was the one to cut the cord and release my sweet little Ember into the world.
