Testimonial for Jessica Mascher
Jessica was our doula for our second child. I'd highly recommend her to anyone seeking extra support for before, during, and/or after a birth, and to first time and experienced parents alike! Our first child was born in 2020 in the height of the pandemic, we had very little support as we were trying to minimize contact. I didn't originally plan to get a doula but I'd read that there's evidence that having a doula results in better birth outcomes and a friend of ours recommended Jessica after having a wonderful experience with her. Jessica was a perfect fit for us--very knowledgeable about birth, anatomy, and babies, she collaborated incredibly we with the hospital care team, she's a great listener and communicator and incredibly supportive. In addition to making both my husband and I feel more supported and prepared than we had with the birth of our first child, Jessica helped us create so many special memories, she kept a birth timeline, took photos, helped my husband and I find even more special moments of connection during labor than we would have otherwise and provided so many great resources before, during, and after labor including a guided birthing meditation that I loved. For parents having second+ children, Jessica was also really helpful to us in preparing our little one for his new sibling, we talked about sleep, routines, making him feel included and valued. My only regret, if any, is that we didn't have Jessica for our first birth. Or has been a pleasure and joy to work with her, would give her my highest recommendation.
