Testimonial for Jet City Doulas
We interviewed with Jet City after an interview with one other doula that started out awkwardly. Jet city's website already had wonderful resources about questions to ask when hiring a doula, which was helpful being a first time parent-to-be as well as it being the first time hiring a doula. The amount of thought that went into setting things up ahead of time to facilitate YOU getting the most out of every minute you get with Jet City didn't stop at the interview process. It just got better. Mariah, Katie, and Jenn are ALL badass experts and powerhouses. Katie helped to write the book on delivering babies, Jenn is a godsend lactation specialist (and more than once provided me with more up to date medical research/knowledge than the doctors did), and Mariah is a placenta and baby whisperer. But don't let it intimidate you that they know their shit. They are all first and foremost, people people.
When I said anything, I really felt that all three doulas not only were listening but that they heard me. They were always patient, always compassionate, always thoughtful. My partner and I wouldn't have been able to have the birth experience we did without them. I wanted to be really connected to my partner and baby, and Mariah, Katie and Jenn all helped make that happen. After every conversation with them I felt like I was coming away with a better understanding between my partner and myself about our goals and perspectives. Especially after the birth, having those moments to connect with my partner thoughtfully are so precious to me and set a precident for our relationship moving forward.
My final word of praise: I'd totally have another kid just to get to work with these wonderful supportive professional doulas again.
