testimonials
Jenn was integral to helping my first birthing experience feel positive and empowering. From our initial interview with Jenn, my husband and I felt comfortable and at ease with her. She is warm, funny, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. She was readily available by phone when I was in early labor; and she helped us follow our birth preference to stay home as long as possible, while also knowing when it was time to get to the hospital. During labor, Jenn was the calm and steady presence I needed, but even more importantly, she helped my husband feel confident and effective in his own hands-on support. During early postpartum, Jenn remained a steadfast source of support. She showed up when we needed her and made space for all of us during such a tender time. We highly recommend Jenn to other birthing parents and families!

We highly recommend Jenn. Our newborn was healthy but small and needed several overnight feedings. Jenn did a fantastic job helping us several nights a week. She also provided breast-feeding support for me as a new mother and tips on recovery from a C-section birth. Jenn is intelligent, creative and reassuring. In addition to being an experienced mother, Jenn shared her doula expertise as well as lots of love and cuddles for our new baby. Jenn was also prompt, professional, flexible and great communicator. We highly recommend her~

Words can not express the level of gratitude my wife and I have for Jenn. She was more than a Doula, she quickly became our sister, best friend and mother (like support). She supported my wife and I through every moment. I was able to have the birth I really wanted even though it wasn’t what we had necessarily expected. She said she couldn’t guarantee a perfect birth but she could guarantee a well supported and well loved birth. She was right! She supported us at the beginning at the end and everything in between. It was a perfect birth simply because Jenn was apart of it.
