Testimonial for Jennifer Michel-Wilson
My experience with Jennifer was truly a gift from God. From our initial conversation she had such a warm and embracing positive energy which is something you really need and appreciate during your pregnancy. I immediately told my husband that we needed to hire her as our Doula to deliver our son. This was the best decision we made. For my personal journey it was an emotional, mental and physical adjustment since my last pregnancy was 14 years ago. It seemed overwhelming at first. After speaking with Jennifer she put me at ease with reminders of how my body was built for this, sharing healthy eating tips, sleep remedies and exercises to help during pregnancy. The day my bundle of joy arrived, I was a week past my due date. Jennifer accompanied me to the hospital. She was an amazing advocate especially since we discussed my Birth Plan. Once we were in the delivery room, Jennifer immediately began some breathing exercises and a multitude of massages and stretches to assist in bringing the baby down. The Midwives and nurses were very impressed with how physically involved Jennifer was. They said "I have an amazing Doula". I progressed from 2 cm to 6 cm dilated. Unfortunately at 6 cm it became too stressful on my sons heart and my midwife advised to proceed with a cesarean to ensure his survival. This news was devastating since my plan was a natural birth. Jennifer immediately held my hand and shared comforting words. She reminded me that "Yes our aim was for a natural birth, but the focus is always for a safe and healthy baby". After speaking with her and the reassurance from my husband we proceeded with the C-section and I met my son whom I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH. Jennifer is a phenomenal Doula. Not only is she professional and extremely knowledgeable, she is a genuine person. From my experience I can tell that she loves bringing new beautiful lives into this world. She has an amazing positive spirit, patience and good energy.??
