Testimonial for Jennifer Hinds
Jen led my husband and I though a six week birth education class. As a first time mom, I was very anxious about labor & delivery. Specifically, feeling comfortable advocating for myself and my baby, feeling vulnerable, and finding a balance between a joyous, natural experience and potential medical interventions if required. Jen was above and beyond my expectations and guided me into an emotional place where I felt confident, eager, and powerful rather than scared about what was to come. The practical knowledge she provided in combination with the encouragement to prioritize myself and find mindfulness through my pregnancy brought me incredible clarity and calm. I keep saying I am one of those people who loved being pregnant and I think a big piece of that was working with Jen. While the actual labor and delivery did not go according to my "birth plan", when I was confronted by my team with the need for medical interventions I was able to fully surrender and feel my baby and I were safe. The first thing I did after hearing we needed to shift plans was reach out to Jen and she set me up for a healthy experience. She was a true guardian angel to us both, her advice fully impacted a safe outcome for the situation. Consulting Jen about what to do in that moment will forever be something I am fully grateful for. My baby was in my arms in no time and while I did have to spend a little time processing the unexpected nature of her delivery, I did so with grace and patience for us. I am incredibly proud of the work I put in to feel like a confident mom before my baby was born and felt it carry into the first days of motherhood and even still as I breastfeed her and soak in every loving moment. While being prepared for the ins and outs of labor and delivery was helpful, the emotional security that came from working with Jen was invaluable and I will cherish the experience forever.
