Testimonial for Jessica Medrea
Jessica was our doula for the birth of our son in May 2023. We had a wonderful experience working with her through pregnancy, labour, and delivery, and recommend her in the strongest possible terms.
From the start we were impressed by Jessica's communication with us. She was always prompt and precise, while also warm and empathetic. We appreciated the way she responded fulsomely to all of our questions, whether in our prenatal sessions, by phone or email, and shared many helpful resources. Our sessions together helped us clarify our needs and preferences. We especially appreciated how Jessica took the time to review and give feedback on our birth plan, to ensure that it would be clear and useful to everyone involved in our care.
When labour began, we felt supported by Jessica every step of the way. She was there for us when and how we needed her, from coming over for a check-in during early labor (and getting us set up with the TENS machine, which was so helpful!), to applying hands-on comfort in active labor and joining us in the transition the hospital, to supporting us through the many hours until the successful delivery of our baby.
When we encountered several high-stakes decision points at the hospital, Jessica's ability to help us understand the wide range of our options, and unflagging attention and energy made a huge positive difference. Jessica's empowering, pragmatic, evidence-based approach to working with us within the hospital system helped us make important decisions with confidence. We highly recommended Jessica!
