I hired Jodi to be my birth doula this past winter and was really happy with the support and education she provided. She's such a kind and thoughtful person -- qualities you definitely want in a doula! The pre-meetings were really helpful to prepare us for what would happen during labor and she also provided tips and information for creating a birth preferences document. From the beginning, I felt like I could ask her anything and appreciated her evidence-based and anecdotal input. She was available to chat when I needed it and was quick to respond to questions. I really liked that Jodi also had so much experience as a nurse and mom, and that she put in the effort to get additional trainings and certifications.
When labor started, Jodi picked up the phone right away late at night and gave some helpful advice. We ended up going into the hospital in the middle of the night and coordinated with her on when the right time to meet us there was. When she arrived, she really focused on helping me to be comfortable and when I had painful contractions she helped me through it. I was so glad she was there! Throughout the entire process, she was focused on supporting me and making sure I was comfortable. If you have the opportunity to work with Jodi, I highly recommend her.
