Testimonial for Jahlisa Murphy from Katie

Testimonial for Jahlisa Murphy

Jahlisa is truly the greatest doula ever. She was my birth doula and is currently my postpartum doula as well.

As a birth doula, she brought beauty and comfort to our delivery. I was in labor 25 hours and she was with me through it all. She had so many tricks up her sleeve like essential oils which calmed me down, a bigger peanut ball to help open things up, a playlist and music, a massager (which was so helpful when my back was in pain), and a fan!! I was like how can a fan help but believe me after pushing for 3 hours, this fan was my best friend. During my labor, after 30 minutes the doctor came in and was like in 2 hours we’ll discuss forceps, vacuums and c sections and I started freaking out, watching the clock. Jahlisa assured me we would not be doing that and helped me focus on the delivery and not on what the doctor was saying. I was able to have a vaginal birth without feeling pressure to look at the clock. I truly love Jahlisa and will have her by my side for all future deliveries.

As a postpartum doula, Jahlisa brought me sleep. Oh my goodness, those first three weeks you think you will never sleep again. I felt safe with Jahlisa watching my baby because she has so much love. She also gave me tips on how to breastfeed (what food works, affirmations, etc). She has been helping me get through the first three months of being a mom and I love her for it. Also my baby loves her too! She smiles so much when Jahlisa is around.

All in all, I can’t say enough good things about Jahlisa. She is the most wonderful, amazing, magical woman I know and I’m so lucky she is in my life.

Ps - this is all to say, I wasn’t even sure I needed a doula. If you are on the fence. Hop off and do it, doulas are the best!!

I’m happy to talk to anyone who would like more information. Wishing you the best of luck in preparing for birth and your postpartum journey. So much love, Katie.
