Janelle was absolutely amazing. She was very open to our wants and provided amazing information and advice as we prepared to welcome our little one. She did not push anything but also had a lot of resources for all decisions when we were unsure. We felt very comfortable and confident with her which was so so helpful as we went through our experience as first time parents and first pregnancy. Once the little one was born she was so helpful postpartum with information and support and we could not be more happy with our experience with her!

Janelle was such a big part of my birth experience, and I honestly don’t know how I would have done it without her. From the very beginning, she was so intentional with us. The prenatal classes didn’t feel rushed or surface-level as she took the time to really explain things and answer every question we had. Because of that, my husband and I went into labor feeling prepared and confident instead of unsure of what to expect. When labor started, she was there for us at all hours. Even when we were sent home from the hospital, she stayed right alongside us through it. The next day she came to our house and helped me work through contractions, guiding me through different positions and techniques that made a huge difference. She just knew what my body needed in those moments. One of the things I appreciated most was how she included my husband. She didn’t replace him; she guided him and showed him how to support me in a way that actually helped. It made the whole experience feel really special for both of us, like we were truly in it together. There was a point where I was overwhelmed and completely in my head during contractions, and I remember how calmly Janelle stepped in and helped ground me. She brought me back to what I needed to focus on and helped me take it one step at a time. That moment really stuck with me, because I could feel the shift right away. After everything, her postpartum visit meant a lot too. She took the time to sit with me and talk through the whole experience, which helped me process it in a way I didn’t expect but really needed. Janelle is incredibly caring, knowledgeable, and present. She shows up fully for you, and that made all the difference for me.

Janelle was an incredible night doula for our family during a challenging season. With my husband away, a teething 6-month-old with a cold, and a busy 2-year-old, I truly needed the extra support—and she exceeded every expectation. She was kind, patient, and so natural with both of my boys (they instantly adored her!). She helped entertain my toddler while I got the baby ready for bed, then cared for my baby overnight while I co-slept with my toddler. She also went above and beyond by washing pump parts and bottles and keeping the nursery tidy. Janelle is also a great communicator—each morning she shared helpful notes via text about night wakings and feeds, which gave me so much peace of mind. She is knowledgeable, calm, and such a blessing to have in your home. I highly recommend her to any family needing extra support.

My husband and I were so glad to have had Janelle's support and guidance through the birth of our daughter. Janelle is very knowledgeable and kind and helped provide us with the information we needed to be able to feel confident in the birth plan we created. Additionally, she has such a kind voice that I knew would be a comfort through labor. My labor started in the evening and we had Janelle meet us at the hospital where she stayed with us all night through my un-medicated birth. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a doula, and we hope to use her services again in the future!

Janelle is a phenomenal doula who I would highly recommend to anyone looking to feel supported and encouraged throughout their pregnancy and birthing experience. We had a high-risk pregnancy with quite a few challenges and scary moments along the way. In addition to just outstanding knowledge, research and resources Janelle provides, she is also always in your corner to help navigate decisions, teach you how to advocate and make well-informed decisions, and advocate for you when needed. We had three pre-birth meetings where she led discussion through birth plans, preferences and unexpected situation preparations. She leads with encouragement and support, without judgement or shame. She truly helped us prepare for the moments we hoped wouldn’t happen, but did and thankfully were prepared for. I could go on and on, but in the end Janelle went above and beyond in being our partner through the entire experience, caring for us and walking through it all day by day alongside us. She worked so well with our medical team and hospitals, where she is authorized to participate at!

Janelle was great. She helped me see that I was in control of my birthing experience. I had been uncomfortable with my current providers. After listening to her advice, I ended up switching hospitals and providers to somewhere that would be much more supportive of my birth plan. This ended up being such a great experience! I had a beautiful birth and I am so glad I followed her advice.

My husband and I hired Janelle as our birth Doulla to help us though the birth of our first child. We are so thankful! Janelle met with us 3 times in our home prior to her birth and made sure we were thoroughly prepared and educated to go though the labor process. We had a lot of questions and she was able to provide not only strong, evidence based recommendations but also professional experience when providing answers. We was always available to us during my pregnancy and helped me advocate for myself during doctors appointments. She joined us at the hospital our induction and was a great asset when helping coach through contractions, giving advice to my husband as well. She was able to help with various positions to help the baby get into optimal position even after an epidural. I am so grateful to her! I cannot recommend her enough! She was professional, compassionate and really goes above and beyond!
