Testimonial for Jolene Smith, CD(DONA), LMT
Jolene was amazing during what was the most vulnerable and scary period of my life. I had multiple setbacks during my pregnancy, labor & delivery, and postpartum experiences and I felt supported by her at all times. She helped me to be an advocate for myself while also advocating for me when I was entering week 41 and very anxious about my non-stress test getting done and how much longer I would be pregnant. My husband and I are happy with the pictures/videos she obtained during labor and afterwards. I labored in a birth center and can honestly say that if it weren't for having her as my doula I would have thrown in the towel and asked to be transferred to the hospital (I struggle with anxiety and she was awesome at helping me feel more at ease and being present when my husband needed to step out). Jolene has a fount of useful resources and was able to refer us to a carseat technician (so we could get confident before baby made his arrival), make me an essential oil wellness blend for labor, and helped my husband and I learn spinning babies techniques which I believe kickstarted my labor within hours (although I was on day 11 past my due date haha). We will definitely hire her again to be our doula if/when we decide on another baby! Thank you so much Jolene and be blessed my friend!
