Testimonial for Jackie Prescott
My wife and I can't say enough good things about Jackie. She's been our doula twice now, through two very different births. Jackie possesses a rare balance balance of evidence-based thinking and incredible emotional intelligence and empathy. You often have the feeling she's more up to date on things than your midwife or OB might be, though should would never say it. She won't make decisions for you, but will make sure you have the tools to make a decision -- and to know that there is a decision that can be made.
Our first birth was slow and required an epidural, and Jackie stayed extra hours and helped my wife push through to a natural birth. Our second birth was faster, and unmedicated, and Jackie was right there with us, providing the perfect support, including in the most physical meaning possible. And when complications arose requiring our kiddo to go briefly to the NICU, while my wife needed attention, Jackie was there to keep us levelheaded and connected.
Plus, her home visits are incredible crash course in newborn parenting -- worth the price of admission on their own! We truly couldn't imagine having gone through my wife's pregnancies without Jackie. You'll feel the same too, we promise.
