Testimonial for Jennifer Symes
Jennifer helped us welcome our first baby into our family, and we are forever grateful for her. She is so knowledgeable and helped my husband, Matthew, and I feel prepared to go into labor and delivery. Jennifer asked us thoughtful questions about the kind of birth I wanted to have and the kind of birthing environment I envisioned for myself. She also asked me what support looked like in the birthing room. Her thoughtful questions guided Matthew and I to do a lot of important self-reflection work before I went into labor. Jennifer's suggestions for how to open up my pelvis in preparation for labor also helped me feel ready and strong.
During labor, Jennifer and my husband worked together to support and protect my labor and delivery environment. Jennifer helped me have the birth experience I wanted, and I felt empowered to make my own informed choices. I was able to stay completely focused on me and my baby during labor because of Jennifer's amazing care. Matthew also felt very supported as the birthing partner and was glad that Jennifer was with us. One of my fondest memories of early postpartum is reflecting on my birth experience with Matthew and Jennifer during a home visit. Jennifer, thank you so much.
