Testimonial for Jackie Symons, CD(DONA)

Jackie provided wonderful support throughout my pregnancy and labor. My husband and I knew we wanted to work with her after our initial conversation, thanks to her laid-back and non-judgmental attitude. She was so helpful throughout my pregnancy, responding to our random texts and emails with informative resources, educating us about childbirth, and giving us hands-on training on different comfort measures during our in-person meetings. I'm so grateful to have worked with a doula who empowered my partner and me to navigate pregnancy and childbirth and make decisions that felt good for us!

After I tested positive for covid at 40 weeks, Jackie was flexible about my changing birth plan and ready to provide support in whatever way possible. Fortunately, she was able to provide in-person support in the end and joined us at the birth center in the early morning. She helped make sure I stayed hydrated during labor, gave me periodic sniffs of peppermint essential oil, helped us work though decisions about interventions, kept me mindful of my breathing and vocalizations, and brought us our requested postpartum meal (glorious Wawa hoagies!). In sum, she stayed responsive and provided whatever kind of support was needed in the moment. It meant a lot to both my partner and me to have her steady presence. We're both grateful to have worked with her and that she helped bring our child into the world!
