Please do not hesitate to book Jessica as a doula! Her services during my labor were absolutely stellar. My daughter came a week early so Jessica was actually my back up doula. I was a bit anxious as this was my first labor and delivery, but she was so professional and her energy was so warm and welcoming. I felt comfortable with her instantly. She coached me so well through contractions, helping me with breathing correctly and implementing various techniques to manage pain and aid labor (ie. birthing ball, hip rotation, aroma therapy, music etc.) So many things stood out with Jessica. She really made me feel empowered during labor and helped me with my confidence. She consistently encouraged me through contractions and gave me compliments on my strength and stamina. It was a huge help for me mentally. As a first time mom I really needed that comfort. She was also so attentive to my needs throughout the entire process. She made sure the doctor and nursing staff was aware of key requests in my birth plan, and asked clarifying questions. She also made sure I was hydrated in between contractions and used cold compresses on my forehead. My labor was a bit lengthy at over 33 hours and Jessica was with me through it all. Her support, service and positivity during my process was constant and I cannot say enough about her. I kept saying over and over duirng my labor that I was so thankful for her. She truly helped make my birthing experience a postive one and one I'll never forget. Jessica is amazing and any mom would be lucky to have her!
