Testimonial for Therese Jensen
I don't know how I could have gotten through my second delivery without Therese. I had a hard birth with my first child and knew a doula would provide an extra level of comfort for me and my husband going into my second birth. I'm a bit of an introvert so I wanted a doula who would have a calm and supportive demeanor, but would take charge without me having to provide extra direction. Therese checked all of those boxes. I had a lot of anxiety around birth and Therese completely put me at ease. She listened to my concerns with genuine care throughout the prenatal appointments and was responsive to any questions or updates I had from my dotor. She was there every step of my complicated delivery reassuring me and providing an incredible amount of physical and emotional support. She made sure I was well taken care of and jumped in when things got intense. She is very easy going and relaxed which is exactly the energy/vibe I needed. She's very introspective and observant which helped both me and my partner understand and navigate the ups and downs of birth. She was very professional with the hospital staff, and provided support through some really challenging decisions we needed to make. I ended up having an emergency c-section. I believe that my birth expereince was much easier having her there. At our post-natal visit, we unpacked what happened and it was just really lovely to hear her perspective on it and gave me some closure on what strength through birth means.
