Testimonial for Jill Thompson CLD, IBI
I am so glad I chose Jill to help me deliver my first baby. I decided I wanted a doula because I felt overwhelmed by all the questions swirling around in my head, as well as the huge amount of information available. I didn't know how to sort out what was important for me to know, what was myth, and what was just plain extraneous information. I also didn't feel comfortable calling my doctor with every little question that popped into my head. In researching doulas, however, I found many opinionated women who seemed to want to enforce their own agenda on the women who hired them. I was pretty sure I wanted pain medication, but I was hoping for the extra support and knowledge a doula could offer (without the pressure to carry out my birth in one particular way).
Jill made me feel comfortable contacting her anytime with questions or worries. She was completely nonjudgmental throughout the process, and supported the decisions my husband and I had made. She took the time to get to know us so that she could help us make the birth experience as close as possible to what we were hoping for.
Delivering my daughter was an amazing experience. Jill was there for me every step of the way, even though her family went on vacation right when I went into labor. She explained to me everything that was going on, which allowed me to be aware and unafraid through the process. There was so much love in that delivery room when Lyra arrived, and Jill was a huge part of making that possible. Thank you from all of us, Jill!
