Hiring Jennifer Michel-Wilson as my doula was one of the best decisions I made, My husband and I experienced 2 previous deliveries one where we lost our first son and needed to deliver early and the second ending in an emergency C-section that was truly traumatizing for me. This time around we wanted to make sure that we had help to advocate for myself with hospital staff. We also wanted to receive assistance transitioning back home. Jen was very empathetic and you can tell she cares about her clients. I decided to have a repeat C-section and I received so much encouragement and support with my decision . Jen was very informative from our first consultation to our last session. she was there for us with super-helpful suggestions to keep me healthy and hydrated. She made sure I was as comfortable and safe after receiving my (planned) C-section . She also provided and informed me of different options I could talk to my doctor about to make my C-section more relaxing (I had a gentle C-section). She even caught a few things that the medical staff missed for example realized why I was triggered to throw up (movement and water) . She’s great with her hands and gives an amazing foot massage. She is very knowledgeable, respectful and aided us in communicating with medical staff. She was an assertive coach when one was needed, and gracious helper when that was needed. I highly recommend her.
