Testimonial for Josie Wright
We had a wonderful experience with Ginny and Josie as our doulas for the birth of our second child. From our very first meeting, they were warm, approachable, validating, empowering, and expert listeners. At first I was a little unsure about the team approach, but now I can’t imagine anything else! Their clients get the benefit of two incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, supportive people, and it was comforting to know that one of them (vs. a backup) would very likely be at my birth.
I can’t say enough about how supportive Ginny and Josie were. They were both incredibly responsive by text and phone from the moment we hired them, and also proactively reached out to me to check in, which made all the difference. The prep meetings we had with them were thoughtfully done and really helped us establish a relationship. And having their hands-on support during the immediate postpartum period was essential, despite us being second-time parents. In particular, Josie’s lactation support set my breastfeeding journey on a completely different (and much smoother) path as compared to what I experienced with my first.
My birth was so fast that the baby came before our doula could arrive, but I still consider the support I received from Ginny and Josie to have been essential to my very positive birth experience. They encouraged and supported me through some really unexpected and challenging circumstances in the second half of my pregnancy (personal injury, family health emergencies); empowered me to advocate for myself in ways that supported my birth goals; and helped me work through a difficult postpartum period with a reflux baby. I’m so grateful we found them, and recommend them without hesitation. Thank you, Ginny and Josie!
