Jamie Scearcy Birth & Postpartum Doula in Mountain Home, ID

I can’t say enough good things about Jamie! From our labor prep meetings to staying by my side through a 36-hour labor, she truly went above and beyond. When my husband had to go to the NICU with our baby, she stayed with me and supported me through those moments, and by the end of the experience she truly felt like part of our family. Even though my labor was long and hard, it was also incredibly magical and non-traumatic. I honestly believe that without her support I would have ended up with a C-section. She kept me moving and encouraged me even after I had an epidural, which made such a difference in my experience. I especially appreciated how she supported my desire for a natural birth while also fully embracing modern medicine when it was needed. That balance meant so much to me. I could go on and on about how wonderful she is. If you’re considering working with Jamie, I wholeheartedly recommend her.

“My house is so quiet. Everyone is at school, or cruising around, we're watching Good Grief and snuggling on the couch in this newborn bubble, and you send me these beautiful photos, and life is just so good. Always keeping you because I'm so grateful you protected my position and supported me and my peace so that this could exist, exactly the way it is. No trauma, no fear, just bliss.” I remember sending that text to Jamie, feeling so held by her during birth that those first few days of newborn bliss were exactly just that, bliss. She was intentional in making sure my birth was exactly how I wanted to experience it, down to the smells, the sounds, the sights. She stood by me with her calm demeanor when every appointment up to 41+6 weeks had a chance of changing our trajectory. She stayed steadfast when I weathered each appointment’s emotional storm. I truly believe that she helped bring me to labor because of the support she offered, always asking and understanding what was important to me, always checking in with what I want. She stayed with me into the early hours of the morning after delivery so I could rest easy while my husband handled picture day and groceries and all the household tasks mom would have handled if I weren’t in the hospital bringing their brother earth side. She helped me hold my power and captured moments I will remember forever. I am forever grateful to have her be part of birth story.

Our gratitude for Jamie during the pregnancy and birth of first child does not fully express how fortunate we are to have her support and guidance during this new season of our lives. Jamie provided a wealth of information about the birthing process, supportive interventions and we always enjoyed her visits. She checked in with us frequently and was always a text or phone call away when needed. Jamie was willing to come early to support us through the unexpected journey of our birth and provided positivity throughout the changes that occurred. We are so thankful for her postpartum visit and will continue to sing our praises for her. Our family is so lucky to have her support through this time and know that she is a lifelong friend. I love that she is a fellow military spouse and hope that we will continue to stay in contact for years to come. We would whole heartedly recommend Jamie to any family that is considering a doula and loved our experience with her! You will not go wrong with Jamie by your side.
