Testimonial for Jackie Prescott

Do yourself a favor and hire Jackie and the ladies at District doulas for your birth. This was seriously the best money we have ever spent. The whole process was wonderful and working with District Doulas was a breeze. All of their built-in education classes got us mentally prepared and allowed us to be all our questions answered. These ladies are in your corner from the moment you sign with them to well after your birth. While I know that all of the team at District Doulas would have been wonderful to have at our birth and I would have felt happy and in good hands having any of the three ladies (all three of them are knowledgeable, personable, and just lovely people). I have to especially thank Jackie. I don’t think our birth outcome would have been possible without the presence of Jackie. It was a very long labor (57 hours if you’re counting) and Jackie was there with us for almost a full 48 of those hours. She was constantly problem solving and looking for ways to help us have the outcome we were hoping for. Whether it was actively doing positioning work with me or being a translator and bridge for our medical team, Jackie was our ace and we can’t imagine the birth without her. Her knowledge and expertise kept us calm when things didn’t go as planned (which happened multiple times) and she constantly helped keep us from getting overtired or overwhelmed. She was an amazing cheerleader with the perfect balance of strength and kindness. Birth was honestly the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. It taxes you emotionally, physically, and spiritually on every level of your being. Without Jackie’s presence, it would have been a much harder, more daunting mountain to climb. I will be forever grateful to Jackie for being my Sherpa and mentor through the whole process. For the gentlemen out there. As my husband says “I’m so glad we got a doula”. Do yourself a favor and hire these ladies.
