Testimonial for Amy Jessie

I was so appreciative that Amy was available to be my doula for my first child, even though I procrastinated finding one. She was so flexible with scheduling our meetings so that my husband could join. She is friendly, funny, and kind. Amy is very knowledgable about many different coping methods and techniques and had many recommendations for various services I was interested in. Due to my work schedule and distance I was not able to utilize all of her different classes and education. Knowing that I wanted to deliver without an epidural, I also knew that unplanned procedures can happen so I was happy to hear that Amy had experience with patients that had birth complications and even c-sections. 

I didn't want to use a doula just for help with me coping with pain, but also to help support me and my husband emotionally through this new event in our lives! She did just that. Sadly, I had to be induced during an ice storm but Amy was right there when we needed her. She was able to get food to keep my husband's strength up so he could stay by my side. She helped position me in different laboring positions and use the peanut ball when I was too weak to fight with it. 

I do feel like some of the things I was open to try was robbed from us due being on pitocin but Amy did everything she could for me with the situation we were in. She even took photos so I could look back later. My only note is that she can be a little soft spoken so I did have trouble hearing her encouraging words as I was coming down from contractions, but I know she was there cheering me on! I definitely recommend Amy if you're looking for a support person for your birth.
