Testimonial for Jennifer Michel-Wilson
Jennifer is a lifesaver, a keeper-of-the-calm, and an expert doula! During my pregnancy, she gave me all of the information that I didn't even know I needed, and was a reputable source that I used to ask questions so I didn't get misinformation from Dr. Google. I was never afraid to ask Jennifer about anything, even the "gross" stuff because she made me feel comfortable and reassured to do so -- I could always count on her to give me the REAL real information. She has so much experience that comes into play in every part of having her as a doula, from exercises she recommends to get in shape for birth to tips for what to eat/not eat while breastfeeding. She provided mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical support for me throughout everything. My boyfriend and I still talk to this day about how we couldn't have gone through everything without her, and our daughter is 3 months old now! Jennifer advocated for me to the nurses at the hospital and also told my boyfriend how he could help out when we both were clueless because this is our first child. She helped my daughter latch for the first time I breastfed her after birth and let me know what the nurses were doing while I was occupied appreciating my new baby. She captured photos of us that allowed me to see the moment my daughter was born in an entirely different way. I felt confident every step of the way throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery and can wholeheartedly say that that is only because I had Jennifer on my side! I'm probably forgetting several things I'm thankful for, I know I could probably go on for days about how much she helped BOTH of us (all 3 of us, now!). Jennifer can easily adapt and is to be appreciated and respected for her experience and how much she brings to the table.
