Fantastic experience with Jenny. Knew what was needed. Smooth labor on our 3rd

This review is coming a bit late as I got busy with moving soon after my daughter’s birth and forgot to write it!!! Yes, it’s almost 2 years later but here I am. :) Jenny was my doula for the birth of my firstborn in 2024. She was so sweet and lovely and just wonderful! My husband and I loved her from the moment we met her. She was one of the best decisions we could have made! Jenny was there and answering any questions we had every step of the way during pregnancy. We had planned on an all natural, unmedicated birth, but unfortunately that ended in a C-section. Thanks to Jenny, she had told me to have a birth plan as well for a C-section just in case it happened. I knew without a doubt that C-section would not happen, and it was not even on my radar. But I wrote a birth plan for it anyway. And lo and behold we ended up needing one due to fetal heart decels and the beginning stages of placenta abruption! Thank you, Jenny for helping me feel prepared for that unexpected turn of events. I had a plan for it, and so I was not upset when we ended up needing it. Throughout labor, Jenny was there to help me through the pain, comfort me, offer suggestions and help my husband navigate through it all with me. Because it’s the first time dad, he had never seen birth before! She was such such a comfort during the hours that I labored prior to my C-section. It was so wonderful to have her there to be able to look to her for guidance, support and even as another person to turn to when we decided to go ahead with the C-section. Just having her hold my hand and tell me that she thought it was the right decision took away every doubt that I had. She stayed for the entire C-section and came to check on me afterwards. She even offered to come back the next day if I wanted. Even though we were not able to have the birth I envisioned, I was so grateful to have Jenny there for every bit of it. If we hadn’t moved out of state, I would definitely have had her for the birth of my second and every other child we may have. Doulas are a gift from God, keep on doing what you do, Jenny!!!!

Prior to our son being born, I was already thinking about what I would say for this. Little did I know he’d start making his way the next morning after these thoughts… Jenny is an amazing Doula. Very kind and caring and genuine. I would share with her pretty much every part that I felt was important to share… Even when I felt I was oversharing, she encouraged me and appreciated that I wanted her to be a part of my journey. At times, when I felt overwhelmed by outside voices and started to doubt myself or feel indecisive about upcoming decisions, she kept me grounded in the things that I wanted throughout my pregnancy, reminding me of the choices that I had. I never felt pressured to make a decision I wasn’t comfortable with. She is a great advocate, especially when I needed her at the hospital and was facing some complications. My husband and I took her birthing class a couple months prior as well - LOVED it. The knowledge and wisdom we gained from that class prepared us in things I hadn’t thought of, which also became beneficial when we were at the hospital. (Having a birth plan in place was sooo helpful once we were there) We were also shown a variety of labor positions and tools to use at home/during labor. I labored at home for about 10+ hours before heading to the hospital, where I found out I was already 7 to 8 cm dilated! Thank you Jenny!! I don’t think I would’ve made it that far at home without you. I will leave my post with this.. after our first meet up with her, my husband and I walked back to our car, and I asked him what he thought? He said, “Hire her. Just hire her. If we don’t, we’re going to probably regret it.” Jenny has a gift - hiring her as our doula and taking that class was the best decision we made for us.

Jenny is such a helpful presence to the final days of pregnancy, through birth, and then follow-up care. She has a gift of listening well, providing warmth, humor, and calm. She was such a support to us in our birth experience.

I recently went through the birth of our second child. We used Jenny for both of our children and she was so wonderful and supportive throughout both pregnancies and deliveries. She was encouraging during Labor and was very in-tuned to what my husband and I needed or didn’t need. She helped advocate for our choices, and helped us both feel more comfortable and confident. She truly contributed to making both birth experiences special. We will definitely be using Jenny for any future pregnancies!

Jenny is phenomenal!! All about educating and empowering you in YOUR birth experience. I knew I needed someone in my corner that was going to be positive and supportive, but give me a little kick if needed. I wanted a doula to help ground and support me and I chose Jenny specifically for her knowledge, confidence, resources, and both personal AND professional experience with childbirth. When we have another child I will reach out to Jenny again, if she’s available!

I’m a first time mom, and having Jenny in my corner was one of the best decisions we could have made! Birth can be a scary experience but Jenny really helps to ease any fears you might have and is such a great resource for any questions.

I truly don’t have enough words to express the gratitude I feel for Jenny. My labor journey didn’t go as planned — it started as a home birth and ultimately led to a hospital transfer. Things got indescribably tough and Jenny was the steady, compassionate presence I didn’t know I would need as much as I did. I felt so comforted by her presence as well as her knowledge. Prior to my labor she gave us education that helped my family and I really get on the same page and feel calm and prepared for the coming journey. From the very beginning, she supported me with unwavering calm, strength, and encouragement. She is also just cool and easy to talk to which helped pass the time as labor progressed. She helped me stay grounded through each stage of labor, and was a great advocate for me. She stuck with me for the long home labor and even through the hospital transfer. Following my delivery she met with us to debrief and really helped me to recall the events and process all of my emotions around it. Her support extended beyond just the physical – she was emotionally present and truly with me every step of the way. She worked beautifully with my husband, mom and midwife. I can’t imagine having gone through that experience without her. There is nothing she could have done better!

Jenny is the best! My husband and I did the home birth education class as well as having Jenny as our doula. The education is fun and really prepared us for labor, delivery, and what to expect with a home birth. During my long labor, Jenny was the best support for me and my husband. Her calm, encouraging presence, along with much physical help (holding pressure on my back/hips as I had bad back labor), was extremely helpful. We plan to have Jenny as our doula for any more pregnancies in our future!!

Four days before my due date as a first time mom I decided I wanted to have a doula at my hospital birth. I wanted an educated support person by me and my husband’s side. I happened to stumble upon Jenny online, but I know now she was sent to me from up above. I thought Jenny and I would only spend a few short days together, but we ended up with a few unseen extra weeks. Delivering at 42+2, Jenny cheered me on and supported me mentally through the entire process. Every concern, every question, and every worry Jenny helped me through and reassured me, always having the answer I needed. After laboring at home with Jenny’s support, she sat by my side in the hospital and was my main support during delivery. I couldn’t have done it without her. Jenny is absolutely the most compassionate, caring, calm, and educated woman I know. I have never met someone like her. Anything you could possibly need, she is there for you, never doubt that. If you’re thinking about a doula, Jenny is hands down the absolute best and I could not be more thankful for everything she has done for me and my family.
