Testimonial for Jenn Carlson, CD, PPD, IES
It’s hard to put into words the impact Jenn had ahead of and after the birth of our first child. I spoke with doulas from three different companies and as a first time mom I didn’t really know what I was looking for in a doula. Luckily, hiring Jenn was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I don’t know what I would have done without someone so knowledgeable, dedicated, empathetic, and calm. Jenn supported my husband and I virtually from overseas then when we came back to the U.S. to deliver our baby she pivoted seamlessly to supporting us locally. When I learned our baby would need to be born 2.5 weeks early via (unplanned) c-section, she pivoted again to work with us postpartum since I had not prepared at all for the different challenges a c-section poses to recovery.
She has an incredible amount of experience, easy-to-understand answers for literally any birth or postpartum or newborn question you could possibly have, and somehow knows how to comfort you when sometimes there are no easy answers. She gave me the knowledge and confidence to tackle so many new mom challenges. My husband was initially skeptical about hiring a doula and now he tells anyone who will listen how impactful Jenn was for us and our baby. If you have the chance to work with her, run don’t walk!
