Testimonial for Jessica Meeds, CBD
Jessica is everything you could hope for in a doula. She is thoughtful, kind, genuine, organized, experienced, and professional. With her guidance I had an excellent birth experience, and I would not hesitate to engage her again.
What you can expect: Jessica will come prepared! She has excellent materials that she has developed, including thought-provoking questionnaires that will help prepare you mentally for delivery and the fourth trimester. She will meet twice with you before the birth and once again postpartum. It was very helpful to us to be more educated about childbirth, and it was especially great to have my husband included in the conversation for him to be more informed on what things he could do to help the process. She has great advice on nutrition, exercise routines, and anything else you could possibly think to ask about. Her expertise is invaluable. She is happy to share her own opinions if prompted, yet she is also genuinely supportive of the parents’ decisions and desires - whatever your birth preferences may be, Jessica will be there to assist and advocate for those things.
During labor and delivery: Jessica is an exceptional doula. The number one reason why I recommend her is her thorough knowledge of what positions and exercises would help move the labor along. She encouraged me to work through the pain in a kind but firm manner, and I personally believe she was instrumental in reducing the amount of time I spent in labor and delivery. She helped guide my husband in assisting me, was in constant communication with us during early labor, and came to our house to help during the more strenuous parts before our departure to the hospital. She was equipped with all sorts of helpful tools - essential oils, stress balls, even little LED candles for the delivery room. These thoughtful gestures went above and beyond due care. Jessica is, simply put, a great person and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Jessica!
