Testimonial for Jo Ann Bishop CD/PCD(DONA) Body Ready Method Pro

If I had to sum it up in one word, I’d say exceptional. Everything about our experience working with Jo Ann was exceptional, from start to finish. I wanted to wait to write this until I was out of the 4th trimester to share about my healing and postpartum experience as well as our birth experience with Jo Ann.


She directed me towards a program called Body Ready Method, and in tandem with working with Jo Ann, I felt like this made preparing for birth (physically) and postpartum so much better! The program gave me so many important tools that I’m positive sped up my recovery after birth.


Jo Ann met with us virtually, and we already could tell how experienced, attentive, and wonderful she was! It was a no-brainer. She also helped us through TONS of birthing resources via her resource library, and helped us prepare for our hopeful unmedicated birth.


Our baby also flipped breech at 37 weeks (!) and Jo Ann was THE best support system, in addition to my partner, in that unexpected situation. She even came over and walked me through some poses and exercises to hopefully flip baby. It worked!!


Then our birth experience with her at the hospital was outstanding. She was calm, collected, and reminded me in the moment of our previous wishes and requests that I couldn’t think of. She advocated for me in every single way. She made my 24-hour labor feel much more bearable!


And in the end, I STRONGLY feel that my recovery was so speedy largely because of her. 3 weeks postpartum I felt almost back to normal (minus being tired with a newborn), and even got back to my hobby of running at 5 weeks postpartum.


So if you’re looking for doula support, seriously, look no further. You’ve found her! Jo Ann is simply the best, and we can’t thank her enough!!
