Jessica was our doula for our second child, but our first home birth (which was also a VBAC). After experiencing a lot of impersonal care and lack of empathy during my first labor and delivery experience, I knew I wanted more personal support and Jess went above and beyond to provide exactly that. She was always there for me to reach out to during my pregnancy, and she helped me so much in doing the mental and emotional preparation for birth. During labor itself she was such a soothing presence, worked seamlessly with my midwife and her assistant, gave my husband the support and guidance so that he could show up for me, and quite literally held my hand through the whole thing. I remember feeling really overwhelmed as things got intense, and locking eyes with her as she reminded me that I was safe - it was exactly what I needed to hear to bring me back to earth! She continued to check in with us as we all recovered and settled into our new patterns, and continued being that steady presence. Jessica truly is a wealth of knowledge, warmth, and support, and we were so grateful to have her on our team!
