Partnering with Jessica as our doula for the birth of our first baby: it was the best decision I made in our pregnancy journey. What a gift. Jessica cared for us, but also partnered with us. She helped us learn, and I always felt her wisdom and knowledge was true and balanced. She offered herself and her own experience, but never projected, never influenced, just informed us and invited us to share and process with her if we needed to. I felt so solid and sound knowing we had her on our team. She balanced professionalism and expertise with warmth and humanity, and was patient during my labor in this quiet, alert and grounded way I can’t really describe. She also basically is the reason I’m breastfeeding. Our little babe didn’t latch right away and she gave us the resources and support that got us on the right track, which I’ve come to understand is not always the case even among folks who work in labor and delivery. I cannot recommend her more highly and I am so happy we’ll remember her as such an important part of our birth story always.
