Testimonial for Jocelyn Alt
I recently used Ohana's doula services for the birth of my second son. As I was trying to have a VBAC, I decided using a doula would provide some additional support and comfort to a potentially higher stressed labor. I could not have been more pleased with the support I received from Jocelyn and Giselle. They are amazing ladies and I was so glad that they were part of my support team. First, I loved that I got to meet both of them and develop a level of comfort so that whoever was scheduled to be with me during labor, it would not be a surprise. Other doulas we met with had a backup in case your doula was at another labor, but it was never an option for the backup to be a part of the pre-labor visits. I really appreciated this aspect of service from Ohana. I was able to have a successful VBAC, but my labor was incredibly long, over 30 hours. Jocelyn was with my husband and I the entire time. Her calming presence was invaluable. She immediately transformed our labor room into an image that fit with what we had discussed with her prior to my labor. She instinctively sensed when to involve herself, when to encourage my husband, when to give him a break and how to best give us what we needed. I would not have a future birth without Giselle or Jocelyn as part of our team!
