Testimonial for Jennifer Michel-Wilson
My name is Katisha Edwards and i got pregnant with twins at the end of May 2022. Before being pregnant i had no idea what a doula was but Jennifer is our neighbor and my husband was aware that she does work with pregnant women. He wasn't sure of exactly what a doula entails but because this was my first pregnancy, it being a twin pregnancy, and me not having my mom here with me he asked if i wanted to see what a doula was about. At first I was okay with going through my pregnancy alone as i do not like opening up to people but i decided to have an open mind and support our neighbor. Upon having our first consultation we decided that it made sense for me to have Jen as our doula. My pregnancy was not as bad as expected but whenever i needed clarification on anything, Jen and i communicated. I would keep her up to date on all appointments and she'd often guide me on how i should proceed to prevent me from experience any trauma. The invaluable part of having Jen as our doula took place when i went in to be induced at 38+1 weeks. Jen advocated for me at my most vulnerable time which in turn allowed me to stand up for myself when the medical staff were attempting to push their fears on me. I was able to dance and exercise while laboring, 2 of my favorite things to do, and i had such a smooth and speedy delivery of my beautiful boy/girl twin. I had the most amazing birth experience with Jen as our doula and I love this for us.
