What my clients are saying...

“
The absolute best! Jessica was sweet, sincere, extremely knowledgeable and so understanding. She helped me believe my body was capable after having suffered from birth trauma with my first. She has been so supportive and we are so thankful to have had her as our doula. She is definitely the reason I had THE most amazing birth experience. I knew the second I spoke to her the first time she would be amazing. She is!"

“
Jessica helped my husband & I welcome our son into the world via an awesome VBAC just last week on May 10, 2018. It was wonderful having her as our doula!! She provided information I needed regarding VBAC's, helped me create a birth plan, and was encouraging & empowering. I loved how during my labor she made the delivery room feel spa-like (candles, diffusing lavender), massaged my back in just the perfect spots to help me navigate through contractions, was encouraging through each contraction, and did a wonderful job balancing helping me herself while also having my husband be very involved as well. It was also great that she was so knowledgeable about the hospital & staff as my husband & I just never got the opportunity to take a tour of the labor & delivery ward ourselves beforehand. She was always there to answer any questions I had, helped me know my options, and just helped me not feel so lost.
Thank you so much Jessica for all your help!! You are truly a godsend!"
