We had the most wonderful experience working with Jo Ann Bishop. Throughout our pregnancy, labor & delivery, and postpartum experience - Jo Ann has been so supportive and helpful to our family. For those who are unsure of the value a doula can provide, she provided us with so much guidance, education and support on our journey. She is like the fairy godmother of birth that we didn't know we needed! Looking back, we couldn't have done it all without her.
Early in our journey, Jo Ann’s educational materials and guidance was so helpful in our wish for a natural pregnancy journey. During labor, Jo Ann’s presence was a game changer for our unmedicated birth and she was instrumental in supporting us through a very long labor. Her interaction with the midwifery staff, OB/GYN and nursing team was also amazing - they all complemented one another well. Our team at Aurora said they wished Jo Ann could be present at all of their births! During postpartum, Jo Ann’s check-ins were so welcomed and showed that she doesn't view this process as a transaction, but as a true relationship with parents and their newborns. Jo Ann feels like an extension of our family now!
Jo Ann also has an unmatched referral network to provide extra support if needed - whether you're in need of a chiropractor, PT, acupuncture, lactation support or mental health resources, Jo Ann’s referral network is fantastic. We utilized many of her referrals and are so grateful, as it can be very hard to find support during the craziness of the newborn and postpartum phase.
You will be in the best hands and receive the best support and care from Jo Ann - we cannot sing her praises enough!
