Jackie was a joy to work with from start to finish. We immediately felt at ease when interviewing her and she continued to build an awesome relationship with us through the process. She took the time to understand my goals for birth, walking me and my husband through creating a detailed birth plan that helped us think through what we’d want to do in any scenario we encountered. As first time parents we appreciated that she answered all of our questions along the way, and ensured we had the appropriate resources to make educated decisions.
Although I encountered a medical roadblock in my hospital birth, Jackie’s presence made me feel supported, confident, and at ease throughout labor and delivery. She was quick to help me figure out modifications to stay comfortable and continue progressing while largely confined to bed. I especially loved how Jackie gave me a heads up when my vocalizations were changing so I knew labor was progressing when I was too in the zone to even realize. When it came time to push Jackie was right there with me and I felt in total control of when to push while contracting. Her coaching helped push more effectively and remember to breathe. Despite my medical roadblocks roadblocks, I was able to meet my primary goal of having an unmedicated birth and can honestly say I look back fondly on active labor. I won’t think twice about working with Jackie again when we decide to expand our family further!
