Testimonial for Justine Temke, Doula, placenta encapsulation
Justine and Ale supported us for both of my pregnancies and deliveries (both vaginal with an epidural). The first in 2020 and Justine joined us virtually due to Covid restrictions and the second this year where she was able to join us at the hospital.
Ale was a huge help with spinning babies techniques providing pain relief during pregnancy and labor. She really took the time to help my husband understand the correct technique and problem solved with us on solutions for managing my pelvic and tailbone pain.
Justine is incredibly talented and a master doula. She’s one of those people who has an unique gift for the world and helping mamas, babies and their families pre-natal, through labor and delivery, and post-natal is her gift to all of us. Justine was always available to non judgmentally discuss our birthing options and preferences. My labor and delivery experiences were beautiful with both babies and that was due to Justine’s guidance and support. With my second baby, I was even able to catch her with an epidural based on the position Justine had me in!
Justine is highly respected by the Allina medical staff. I knew she was based on my first birth when she joined virtually and the nurses and even OB were consulting her for positions and next steps via my computer screen! It was even more obvious in my second birth when she was allowed in the OR with me after delivering my daughter for an emergency D&C. A testament to how much she is respected in the industry. She kept me informed and calm during the surgery and was constantly updating my husband on how things were going to lessen his anxiety. I can’t imagine what that would have been like for me and my family if Justine wasn’t there. Justine doesn’t just think of how to support you in your birth but your whole family through the entire experience of child birth.
