Jenny Scholten Birth Doula in Winter Haven, FL

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

— Jay and Hailey D.

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.

— Stacey S.

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.

— Sarah C.

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!

— Paige V.

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!

— Meg B.

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.

— Anna K.

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!

— Marta G.

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!!

— Dakota E.

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.

— Kaylee C.

This was my first birth and I was a little nervous and didn’t know what to expect going into it. We were recommended to Jenny and decided to take her birth boot camp course first. It was so insightful, my husband and I learned so much. Jenny is very professional and knowledgeable and gave us a lot of tools. Coming out of the course, we truly felt more prepared and less nervous for the big day. Jenny took great care of me at the hospital and went the extra mile to make sure I was calm and comfortable. She was there with us every step of the way, during active labor, through the birthing process, and post partum. I would highly recommend her services!!!

— Paula E.

I am a local doula with Jenny, and know her personally and can attest wholeheartedly to the kind of person she is- kind and wise, and exactly the type of person you’d want as your doula. But as a doula, I know a lot of doula’s personally, but don’t actually know how they are with clients. Jenny is an exception to this. I’ve had to use Jenny multiple times as a backup doula when I’ve been with another client, or out of town, and my clients have nothing but glowing reviews of her calm caring demeanor at their births. It’s a big deal for a doula to miss a birth, and I do not take it lightly who I send in my place. That being said, I would send Jenny a million more times if I needed to, without hesitation. She is a true gem and I’m glad to get to know her. You will not regret hiring Jenny to attend your birth.

— Amsy D.

At 36 weeks my wife decided she would like to have a doula during delivery and I said absolutely. Two friends recommended the same doula, Jenny. This would turn out to be one of the best decisions for Christine's labor and delivery. The support, encouragement, counsel, and care of not only my wife but me was absolutely astounding. There was never a single moment where Christine had to labor alone. In moments when I was resting, Jenny was tending to Christine and capturing the sweet moments and encouraging and empowering through the difficult moments. Often she knew what Christine needed without Christine saying anything. She helped set the mood and atmosphere of the entire room. From low lighting, to worship music and praying often over Christine and Cohen. We are just so thankful to have had her with us throughout every moment of Cohen's labor.

— Brent W.

I had an incredible experience with Jenny. She was truly amazing and played a huge role in helping me achieve my goal of having an unmedicated birth. Her support, guidance, and encouragement throughout the entire process were invaluable. Without her, I don't know if I could have stayed committed to my birth plan. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate, making me feel empowered and confident every step of the way. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a supportive and dedicated birth doula. She exceeded all my expectations and I am forever grateful for her assistance during such a transformative time in my life.

— Paige I.

In today’s modernized world, where birth is medicalized, I was very worried to voice my desire to have an unmedicated vaginal birth. Jenny not only respected my wishes, but made me feel confident in my choice, making me believe in myself. She arrived to the hospital at the most perfect time, when I started doubting my ability to proceed with my birth plan. She was able to provide most incredible pain relief strategies that were a total game changer during transition phase of labour. She was able to guide and orchestrate the pushing phase so perfectly, that I was able to leave the hospital in less than 24 hours without a single vaginal tear. I had my absolute dream birth, thanks to Jenny’s support and expertise. My whole family will be forever grateful for Jenny’s hand in our lives.

— Nataliya V.

My husband was a little hesitant as to why we needed someone else in the delivery room, but our experience with Jenny has made him the world’s biggest advocate for having a doula. Jenny was so encouraging to me as I labored for 39 hours, and to my husband as he watched me in pain and struggled with how to help. From her childbirth education classes to the moment our son was born; she helped us understand the process, develop our birth plan with realistic expectations, and advocate for the things most important to us amid changing circumstances. Having her with us every step of the way was Godsend! When our friends announced they were pregnant the week after our labor and delivery experience, my husband immediately gave them Jenny’s number and said it was one of the BEST decision we had ever made!

— Sara Beth W.

Jenny is an awesome person all around, she is fun, bubbly and supportive! Jenny was my doula with my third child, she helped me feel at peace and educated me when I was faced with decisions I hadn't had to make previously. Jenny is everything a doula should be.

— Amy B.

I had a very traumatic first delivery, we waited almost 7 years to have another child for this fact alone. From day one Jenny gave me hope that so cousin have a positive birth experience! She was calm, knowledgeable, and caring throughout my entire of my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. She was present and supportive for both me, my husband and mother throughout my labor. The midwives and hospital staff knew her and thought highly of her. She knew the hospital, had amazing recommendations for positioning and breathing, and educated me on the choices I needed to make on the fly. Post delivery she had all the resources I needed- chiropractor, lactation specialist that got us through that first month. She always responds within minutes and is worth every penny! Don’t think twice about hiring her!

— Jade W.

My wife and I are so glad we hired Jenny to help us with the birth of our first baby! Despite doing a lot of research and reading before hand I knew that we would not be prepared for everything. Jenny was extremely helpful and encouraging. My wife had a difficult labor and if we had been on our own I believe it would have been a very hard experience, but with Jenny's help and support it was challenging but beautiful and rewarding for both of us. Sometimes it just helps to have someone with you who knows what they're doing!

— Will E.

My husband and I are SO glad we hired Jenny to be the doula for our first baby, who was born almost two weeks ago. She helped us achieve our goal of having an unmedicated birth and was a fantastic support before, during, and after labor/delivery. We don’t know what we would’ve done without her and are for sure hiring her for our next baby.

— Monica E.

Jenny’s doula service saved the day with our labor and delivery! Jenny stepped in as a back up when our original Doula was unable to make our delivery. She made the transition seamless and guided my husband and I through our first delivery unmedicated!! She brought a peace into our room that was priceless. I cannot recommend Jenny enough for the services she provides.

— Alex v.

Jenny is amazing. We went through the birth boot camp with her and she was our doula for my wife’s birth. She gave us all of the tools necessary to navigate a natural birth and the moment the time came (at 2am) she was on the phone and getting ready to meet up with us. She met us at the birth center and it was a relief to have another resource there for help. From a husbands perspective she was able to give me a break if needed or helped with anything we needed. It was an amazing process and give her a 12/10. So for you dads exploring trying to figure out this doula thing. Consider Jenny!

— Matthew E.

Jenny was an absolute gift to my husband and I. She equipped us with very helpful resources and provided us with great insight and advice leading to the birth of our son. She was very patient, flexible and supportive to us during our VERY long stay at the hospital. I highly recommend Jenny to help anyone during the stressful and wonderful process. She checked in on me after we went home and made sure we were taken care of.

— Stephanie R.

Jennys Doula services is Worth every penny & so much more!!! Our family is calling Jenny the angel 👼 in the room! She truly was the angel in the room making the whole experience feel so peaceful & always helping at the right time. She was very present & never over stepping. Jenny was willing to come and stay for as long as necessary and that she did. She’s a rare gem 💎 and anyone who chooses her services will have 0 regrets.

— Andrea F.

I had known for a long time that when the day came I wanted an unmedicated out of hospital birth. Most people thought I was crazy, didn’t understand why I wanted this or didn’t believe I could do it when it really came down to it. I went back and forth about hiring a doula only because of spending the extra money on top of everything else we had to worry about. After researching and talking with a friend that used one..My husband finally said that if I wanted to go all natural we were hiring one to help us both through the process! My friend Chelsea referred me to Jenny who fully supported everything I wanted from our very first meeting. She met with us very early on in my pregnancy and was there for me to just chat, text or listen to my concerns since the very beginning. She set both of our minds at ease with teaching us a lot about labor and delivery. We even did a one on one birth boot camp class with her which was even more beneficial with information we didn’t know to begin with. As a first time mom, my labor and delivery came early and very quick so a lot of things we learned for coping I was not able to use BUT having her there the day of was a life saver. Without Jenny I don’t think I would have believed in myself or trusted that my body could really do it. BUT I DID IT!! And it didn’t stop after that, she has been there for me even postpartum to listen to me vent or even ask advice! I cannot wait to be able to use her again for our future children. My husband felt that her presence was even a relief for him, just knowing someone else was there to help support me and also having experience in what I wanted! I would highly recommend her as a doula … ESPECIALLY if you are a first time mom wanting an unmedicated birth.

— Deanne E.

Jenny was my doula for my first child in July 2023. My husband and I are not overly holistic in any way and had never even heard of a doula or were familiar with the services they provided. I reached out to Jenny and my husband and I just met her for coffee to get a feel & determine if this is something we even wanted to pursue or not. Instantly I felt a very relaxed and natural connection with Jenny. My anxiety was very high regarding the anticipation and process of labor. Jennys services were very tailored to my fears and reservations around giving birth. I 100% recommend Jenny. There are no stupid questions, and I really felt like she cared about making my experience special and unforgettable, assisting me with mental tools to face and overcome my fears. I also highly recommend doing the labor classes she provides, because that gave us a chance to spend time together and get to know each other better before the birth took place. If we have another child we will certainly be contacting her again. Thanks Jenny! You are the best :) Emma Adams

— Emma A.

Jenny is an incredible doula and mentor. She goes above and beyond to make you feel important and valued. She uplifts mothers and fathers throughout their birth and postpartum experience. I met Jenny through Birthbootcamp Doulas and she is constantly networking in the community, she hosts doula meetups and is always encouraging and supportive of new doulas in the community. She truly takes the time to listen and shows she cares. She wants the best for not only parents but also doula and birth workers. She is a jewel in Lakeland and Polk County. Thank you for all you do and all your support and encouragement Jenny! We love our Polk County Doula Community Thank you for all you do for moms and babies

— Kristin B.

So we ended up having Jenny as a back up doula. So obviously at first I was a little freaked out and upset that things already weren’t going my way. Jenny came right in and made herself at home th and went straight to work. She asked me very few questions ( which I LOVED) and just quietly assessed what I needed and took initiative to do it. For example I had my mantras taped to the wall but once I was in the thick of it with contractions that was the last thing on my mind and she would every so often repeat them to me during contractions which was very comforting. The questions she did ask were yes or no ones which were easy to answer in the middle of labor! My fiancé was very against hiring a doula and having a home birth but my the end of it he was so grateful! He said it’s a lot of pressure being the only support person during such an emotional time it was nice to have a break. He also said he was grateful that it was such a one on one experience compared to a hospital with shift changes and many other patients.

— Cadie B.

Jenny is a gift. Leading up to the birth of our baby boy she talked through so much information with us. She explained so much of the hospital experience and what was available to us there. That information encouraged us to, as we teasingly say, “go full hippie.” Lights off, jazz on, lavender oil misting in the air. She helped create and foster an incredibly warm environment in a traditionally stale place. This doula is so for you, momma. She is there from start to finish to ensure you are supported, informed, and encouraged. Never pushy, always meeting you where you are. I don’t know how anybody gives birth without Jenny there!! I certainly never will. Call this woman! You and your partner will be so grateful.

— Michelle G.

Jenny is the best of the best! As a midwife myself, I knew the importance of doula birth support. However, I did not know how large of a role she would come to play in my pregnancy and birth experience. She helped to support me through all of my prenatal decision making with a non-bias view. She was incredible at helping me think about all options and all outcomes so that I would be prepared in any circumstances. She was a strong support to my husband and children as we navigated a home birth for the first time. He felt empowered by her and was a great support for me because of so many tools she gave him. YOU NEED her and WANT her to be by your side during this journey. My experience was exponentially better because she was my doula.

— Katie Beth W.

Jenny is a caring, compassionate, wise, assertive helper who provided me with such amazing support before, during, and after the birth of my daughter. She provided my husband and me with so much care, reassurance, and comfort in those critical moments leading up to the birth and then was such an encouragement and good listener afterwards. I would highly recommend working with Jenny for a positive birth experience!

— Sarah C.

Jenny was truly a heaven sent doula for me and my husband. She helped me heal some previous birth trauma I had experienced and never healed. She helped me create a birth plan that helped me gain confidence in myself and my capabilities! It was an INCREDIBLE birth and I really owe so much of that to her and her emotional support before, during, and after my delivery. Highly recommend the very lovely Jenny.

— Rachelle V.

I highly recommend Jenny if you are in need of a doula. She helped me with my third birth and if we are blessed with another, I would not hesitate to work with her again. She has the perfect balance of being knowledgeable but considerate of your own perspectives. I went in to my third pregnancy with a lot of fear about the birth based on my previous birth experiences. My labor was really quick and as soon as Jenny met me at the hospital my panic calmed down enough for me to get that baby out safely! I really don't think I would have been able to do it without her.

— Kate M.

The moment I met Jenny my fears about giving birth naturally went away. I was anxious about the experience, but no longer scared! When I needed her at my house during contractions I remember seeing her face and a wave of calm & happiness over me. No one has ever been able to instantly calm me with just their presence. She was with me for 14 whole hours and was so patient with me as I insisted I couldn't keep going during labor, but jennt assured me that I could and she was right. If she weren't there I don't know what I would have done. I can't thank her enough and I can't say how much I recommend her to any woman planning a natural childbirth!

— Kaitlin M.

IRREPLACEABLE! I just birthed my first baby, at home, 2 weeks ago with Jenny’s assistance & I cannot imagine doing it without her. From the first day we met there was an instant connection & I was welcomed with open arms. She was exactly what my boyfriend & I needed to get through labor & birth. Throughout the pregnancy she was extremely informative, was always there & happy to answer any questions I had. Jenny seemed to always understand what was going on, ready to validate feelings & advocate where needed! She made me feel so strong, heard, & seen! I’m not sure if we will have anymore kids but if we do, Jenny will be my first call! You will not regret it! ❤️ Thanks for everything!

1. Was having a doula helpful to you and your partner? Absolutely! In all honesty, I didn’t have expectations for a huge shift in comparing my previous (doula free) labors. I was so wrong! Hiring a doula was a total game changer in my delivery. My husband and I both said repeatedly how amazing you were and we were so grateful for the support you provided both of us. 2. What aspects of support were helpful? Everything 😉 More specifically, I loved the way you guided and directed Ben. I think men in general have a hard time knowing how to help their partners, they want to, but they’re often left feeling helpless. And honestly as a woman and entering my third delivery I didn’t even truly know what I wanted/needed. You were so great at providing support for Ben on how to best help me. Ben and I never felt you were demanding or controlling. You were simply the best person in the room to provide the most knowledge on having a comfortable labor. You carried this through with patience, peace, and professionalism. I loved trying different maneuvers and using your suggestions for better positions for me and baby. It relieved so much discomfort. I also loved having someone guide me through labor when nurses and doctors weren’t in the room (which is often!) I never felt alone, completely cared for. 3. Were there any aspects of support that were NOT helpful? Definitely not, I can wholeheartedly say that. 4. Would you hire a doula again? In a heartbeat. Wish I would have had you for my other two labors! 5. Any other suggestions or comments? You’re just the best and I tell everyone about how lovely my experience was, and that they need to hire you. Best decision eve! Thank you for following your calling. You made labor such a peaceful experience-which I think is the goal for all Mamas.

— Alison S.

1. What would you say was your biggest fear or worry about birth that led you to hire a doula? Did it play out as expected and how did having a doula help you work through that fear? As a first time mom, I had no understanding or expectations about giving birth other than what friends had shared with me about their experiences. I assumed I would follow the recommendations of my physician, and that was really my only plan –I would figure it out along the way. To be honest, I had no idea what a doula was; I had never even heard the term before, but having a doula to provide guidance throughout my pregnancy turned out to be the biggest blessing. My mother passed away seven years ago, so I did not have a trusted family member to guide and help me, as most others do. But Jenny supported me and played an integral role in shaping a positive pregnancy, which exceeded all my expectations. 2. What, specifically, was the most helpful part of doula support and why? I found having a doula was an amazing source for knowledge and education. Jenny provided informational resources throughout my pregnancy. She supported my choices but also opened my mind to additional possibilities and birthing options by challenging any preconceived notions I had developed and the negativity that typically surrounds labor and delivery. 3. What, specifically, was the most unexpected perk of having a doula? The thought of having an unmedicated birth never crossed my mind; it was not even in my realm of consideration. However, through Jenny’s guidance, I educated myself and learned how perfectly our bodies have been made to handle pregnancy. By preparing my mind, I was able to deliver a healthy 8lb 4oz son completely unmedicated. 4. If a best friend was considering a doula, what would you tell them? Is there anything specific you recommend about me? I highly recommend a doula, especially for the first-time mom, because there are many unknowns during pregnancy. And although doulas may be more closely associated with homebirths, they are helpful no matter where you choose to give birth. Jenny understands the process and challenges (with four children of her own – this isn’t her first rodeo!); she is motivating and genuinely excited to be a part of your journey. She is enthusiastic and passionate about helping mamas. 5. What was the return on your investment in doula care? What part of doula care was most valuable to you? I gave birth at a local women’s hospital during the COVID19 pandemic, so I could not have Jenny with me during labor and delivery; however, Jenny played an integral role in the nine months leading up to my baby’s arrival. Jenny empowered and encouraged me, which ultimately led to a beautiful experience, an easy recovery with no downtime, but, most importantly, a healthy baby boy with no medical intervention.

— Stephanie L.

What, specifically, was the most helpful part of doula support and why? Having a doula was an absolutely incredible experience. I didn’t really know what a doula was until Jenny and I sat down and chatted several weeks before I was due. I still didn’t grasp it all, instead experienced it during my home birth with her as my doula. Having Jenny as my doula during labor and delivery was like having my best friend right there with me, encouraging me, providing support, offering suggestions, willing to do whatever was needed to help make this experience as smooth as possible. She has excellent insight into the labor and delivery process and would offer “tips and tricks” to help me be more comfortable or to help labor progress. She had asked me ahead of time certain things that I wanted to happen during this time and what I didn’t want to happen. She was very proactive throughout my entire labor and delivery to help make sure those needs were met. She would speak up for me when I was unable to and helped make the process more of what I had hoped for than my previous two labor and deliveries. If a best friend was considering a doula, what would you tell them? Is there anything specific you recommend about me? Unfortunately I didn’t even know Jenny with my other two births but I would recommend having Jenny by your side during your labor and delivery every single time!! Jenny has such a sweet and kind spirit that she just brings light into the room. She’s very encouraging with her words and helps you believe that you can achieve this task ahead of you. Labor and delivery is definitely not an easy task, but Jenny is like having your best friend as your coach so you know you can totally do this!! As I mentioned earlier, she pays attention to your needs and wishes that you have told her before labor and delivery. She truly cares and wants to support you during your labor and delivery. She will do her best to accommodate your wishes and desires, so that hopefully you can have the birth you’ve been wanting/planning. Why did you choose me as your doula? Was there an obvious advantage or anything specific that made me stand out in some way? I have known Jenny for almost 3&1/2 years. I know she has a passion for being a doula and she has a heart for people and Jesus. So it was a very obvious choice for me to ask her to be my doula. I honestly thought of her right away once I found out I was pregnant, but I didn’t talk to her about it for a few months. I would highly suggest you chat with Jenny soon after you find out you are pregnant. She has terrific resources and is just so positive and uplifting. Jenny has the sweetest heart, is so positive, full of useful information and is a terrific listener. She makes you feel heard and understood. I couldn’t think of anyone else better to be by my side during labor and delivery. I would highly recommend Jenny to be your doula through your entire pregnancy, labor and delivery. She is absolutely amazing and you will truly be blessed having her by your side!

— Amy M.

Having Jenny as my "unofficial" doula played a huge part in my home birth being an incredible experience! She had already labored with me briefly with my 3rd child. She taught me to let go and be primal, to be vocal and to moan it out. When I opted for a home birth for #4, I knew I wanted her there with me. I didn't have to tell her, she somehow just knew right where to push, where to squeeze, how to support. Jenny made each contraction easier whenever her hands were on me. I felt empowered and not alone. After the baby was born and I needed the slight tearing repaired, she even distracted me with her Facebook feed to take my mind off of the stitches. Jenny is a true helper. She is generous with her time and her talents. She was born to help mamas bring their babies into the world. Her presence is soothing and accommodating. And she also can make wise decisions and give excellent support and encouragement. Best doula ever!!
