As a first time mom and a mom who would be giving birth during a pandemic, I wanted to find a doula who made me feel safe, comfortable and knowledgeable. From the first moment, I spoke to Jenn I connected with her. She made me feel safe and knowledge so that I can make a birth plan that I was comfortable with. As I went into active labor, Jenn was available and would check in to see when i felt comfortable for her to join. It was great to have a doula who also respected my choice. When Jenn met us at the hospital she was the best support system I could have. During the pandemic it made it difficult to have my mother with me but Jenn was amazing. She helped by bringing up what we had discussed and would explain as things were unfolding. We encountered complications which made it difficult to stick to our original birth plan. Jenn had educated me on things that could happen and knew my fears but remained calm and supportive. She made me feel as I had a choice while I didn't get that from the doctors on call. In the end, baby and I are healthy and having Jenn helped me feel knowledgeable about this process. After visit with Jenn was great; I was still in a fog but Jenn would check in on me and was supportive through my postpartum months. I am truly thankful for Jenn and doula services. I would highly recommend Jenn and her doula services to any future mother!
