If you have recently chosen Jessie to be your doula, congratulations! You have just signed up to be supported in every step of your journey with knowledge, compassion, joy, humor, and incredible kindness. From the moment we met Jessie we knew that we wanted her to be part of our journey. Seriously, we got off the zoom call, looked at each other, and said it’s her right?! We continued our due diligence and interviewed other doulas and it only confirmed what we already knew.
From the first call it is clear that this is Jessie’s passion. She brings her abundant evidence-based knowledge about labor, delivery, and postpartum, answering any and all questions and sending research to help folks understand the process and the decisions that they might be faced with. Jessie made us feel comfortable to truly ask anything and to make whatever decisions we felt were right for us. She made my husband feel, not only included, but like a critical part of the entire birth process, while also taking some of the stress away from being the only support person in the room to advocate, comfort, and support me.
Jessie does multiple in-person meetings before the birth which really helped us to feel comfortable with her and what was to come. She was hands on in helping to show us positions and techniques to help with labor and she was available for questions at any time. During labor at home it was wonderful to have her to speak to for moral support and at the hospital she was by our side for it all – partnering with my husband to cheer me on, help me into different labor positions, explain what stages we were at and decisions we might need to make, and documenting the life changing moment that our daughter came into the world.
