Testimonial for JESSAMYN KEAR
I am so glad I found Jessamyn - she made my birth experience wonderful. This was my second baby and I gave birth at 42 weeks and 1 day at home but with an after birth hemorrhage that required a hospital transfer. In the weeks leading up to it, she was there for me every step. She gave me amazing physical support with massage, movement, and stretching techniques, which was exactly what I had hoped for in a doula. But the best part at that time ended up being her emotional support. On the last day when I felt absolutely defeated, she had a conversation with me that lifted me out of my slump and probably saved me from a hospital induction (something I really wanted to avoid this time).
During my short and intense labor at home, my partner was taking care of our toddler, and Jess was my rock. She was right there with me keeping me grounded and helping me breathe and relax. I know she was absolutely amazing with the physical support, but once again what I remember most was how she kept me from spiraling or feeling defeated.
After the beautiful birth experience, I ended up requiring a hospital transfer for a hemorrhage. My midwife couldn’t come with me, and once again Jessamyn was right by my side. She carried the baby in the ambulance, and while I was pretty out of it, I remember hearing her voice answering questions and speaking up with conviction to be sure i was getting proper care and that the baby, who was perfectly healthy, avoided any unnecessary medical interventions. I was so glad to have her there with all of her experience and knowledge at a time when I couldn’t speak up for myself. Jessamyn was absolutely the difference for me between a traumatic memory and an empowering one. I cannot recommend her enough.
