To put it briefly - I don't know how we would have handled our birth journey without Jasmine, and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone considering the help of a doula. She's gentle, warm, and relaxed; and her presence is like an anchor, grounding and nurturing.
I experienced a lot of stress during my third trimester, and then my birth plan went haywire, resulting in a c-section after planning for a home birth. Jasmine was supportive the whole way. She made me feel understood and reassured during my stress, and when it came to the birth, she was like Gandalf guiding us to Mordor. Not only was Jasmine calming and by my side the entire way, she was attentive to and considerate of my partner. She advocated for us and our values when we were in the hospital, and she clearly has a great relationship with the staff there which was reassuring. Moreover, she was sensitive to the way things had gone for us and held space for us both to decompress after we returned home.
We had my placenta encapsulated by Jasmine as well, and that was a great add-on. I noticed improved energy and a greater sense of calm while I was taking my capsules :)
Overall, she was truly the most valuable member of our birth team, and we will absolutely work with her again in the future.
