Everyone having a baby needs a Jolene! Jolene was an incredible support to me and my husband throughout pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum. She provided helpful resources and was always available with information whenever I had questions or specific needs, especially when my pregnancy became high-risk and we had to navigate multiple complications. She took time to get to know my husband and me during my pregnancy and tailored her support to our specific needs and preferences. Her support and reassuring presence was a key reason why my birth experience ended up being empowering rather than traumatic, even when nothing went according to our birth plan. Jolene helped my husband and I ask important questions we either didn't know to ask, or couldn't think of in the midst of intense adrenaline during labor. She supported all of our decisions and was proactive in checking in with both of us about our mental and emotional well-being during and after our baby's birth. Our baby had medical needs after an unplanned c-section, and Jolene's presence allowed my husband to go to the NICU with our baby while Jolene stayed at my side. She helped me and my husband emotionally process our intense birth experience and encouraged us every step of the way. Jolene provided excellent postpartum recommendations for pediatricians, lactation consultants, and where to go to have our daughter's tongue tie assessed and released. Without her support, the stressful process of finding expert care when we needed it urgently would have been nearly impossible. Jolene is a caring professional with a wide skill set to wonderfully support YOUR pregnancy and birth, whether medicated or unmedicated, complicated or uncomplicated. She is an expert support person to lean on when things go according to plan or not. We are so grateful for Jolene!
