Testimonial for Jessica Medrea
I am 13 days postpartum following a c-section at Burnaby General, and my partner and I are so grateful to have had Jessica there supporting the birth of our son! Jessica is evidence-based and very current with the latest birth practices, as well as the birth/cultures at the main Vancouver/Burnaby hospitals, and she works really hard to ensure that she advocates for your birth preferences while in a hospital setting. My labour plans were originally meant to be to spend as much time as possible at home before going to the hospital in active labour, but this wasn't possible due to an induction- Jessica was instrumental to promoting my own relaxation and feelings of safety within a highly medicalized hospital approach to birth. In addition, Jessica helped my husband stay on top of things, kept me hydrated, and supported my decisions. I'm sad to have had to part ways with Jessica after the birth, she was such a friendly, passionate source of support and we will always be grateful to her- and will be using her again in the future, should we have another baby! Jessica is highly recommended for anybody who wants an approachable and informed doula (and access to her TENS machine!)
