Testimonial for Jill Pullen, CD(DONA), CLC, CPST
Jill made me feel so empowered, supported, calm, and uplifted during pregnancy and birth. After our first meeting, my husband and I both knew right away her calm demeanor paired with her knowledge and expertise gave us the confidence we needed to trust her in playing such an integral role in our birth journey. During my pregnancy, Jill made us feel so supported, always available for us via text, call, and email. She addressed all of our questions and concerns comprehensively, giving us tools to dive deeper and learn more. Jill helped us prepare physically, mentally, and emotionally for birth as well as the 4th trimester — including helping my husband to be the best support person he could be. During the birth, Jill was extremely intuitive, and her energy was so calming. Knowing that she was so experienced in all things birth gave me peace of mind. Jill was our guide — literally she guided me to the labor and delivery unit, and set up the birthing room and birthing tub to feel like a spa — and figuratively she guided me mentally and emotionally through the entire journey of birth. I felt Jill could understand exactly how I was feeling, and knew just how to support me, advocating for my needs and guiding me with her words. She made the natural water birth of my dreams a reality, sharing her insights with the hospital staff which helped them tune into my very specific needs, which otherwise would have gone unnoticed. Her attunement is the reason I could be so relaxed and at ease. Without her, things would have gone so differently… she helped our little one get off to an amazing start in life, beginning with her first breath, and we are forever grateful. Jill has continued to support us by being a wonderful resource for all of our postpartum questions and concerns, including allowing us time to debrief about how the birth went, and providing us with special pictures she captured during the birth — moments we will forever cherish.
