What my clients are saying . . .

"I was so much more at ease going into labor knowing that I had someone with experience right next to me.  Jennifer was such a great resource to us throughout this experience, from helping us write a birth plan to setting up a nursing station.  She was a tremendous amount of support throughout our 40 hours of labor!"

- Cassie & Jeremey, Seattle

“Jennifer had a knack for knowing just how to comfort Susan during labor, whether a cool washcloth or a well-placed hand.  She stayed with us through the night for 18 hours.  Susan believes that, without a doula, she would have had to give up her plan to deliver our son without an epidural.  With Jennifer’s comfort and emotional support, Susan was able to stick with her birth plan and deliver naturally.  Thank you Jennifer!”

"Jennifer helped prepare me and my husband for the arrival of our baby in multiple ways from helping us plan a natural birth to educating and calming us after we were home with our little one.  Her support and coping techniques during labor helped me achieve my goal of a natural birth.  Since my mother does not live in the area, the presence of another female during labor was very powerful and helped me relax.  Jennifer gave me and my husband the confidence and reassurance we needed for the entire process.

Having Jennifer as our doula was invaluable in preparing us for what I would consider the most amazing moment in my life.  Her care for my wife and baby was paramount and I am very thankful that she was with us through it all.  From a male perspective, it was very refreshing and calming to have someone with Jennifer's experience with us during the birth and beyond."

- Kerrie & Eric, Seattle

“Jennifer came to my house and helped me through early labor by applying pressure to my low back during contractions while being positive and encouraging breathing.  She was by my side through the pain and frustration of labor and spent two days with us and a long night at the hospital with very little sleep.  Jennifer interacted well with me, my spouse, the doctor and nurses.  I needed her support, and am glad she was there for us.”

“My wife and I decided we wanted a natural childbirth and knew it would be difficult.  I was concerned that I would not be able to provide her the support she needed.  This was our first child and I knew labor and delivery would be exhausting and emotional.  I felt it was important to have someone involved whose only objective was to support us and provide me with guidance.  Jennifer had an abundance of knowledge and resources.  What set her aside was professionalism.  It was great to have Jennifer as our advocate and guide us through the long labor process.  She was amazing at keeping my wife calm, and when I needed a break she was right there.  I don’t know how we could have done it without her – Jennifer’s awesome!”

 - Matt & Beth, Seattle

"Jennifer was encouraging and positive, she really made me feel good about labor.  I never once felt like I can't do this, thanks to her calm and confident presence.  She offered suggestions when she saw need, helping me rest, relax and conserve my energy.  She was 100% there for me and my husband; her caring nature kept us focused in the moment.  Leading up to the birth and days after, Jennifer checked in with us, sharing great information and resources.  We were so pleased with our home birth experience!" 

- Sarah & Kevin, Seattle

"I had a really long labor and Jennifer was there for me all the way.  She helped me maintain the water birth I desired.  As a first time mom, I was very nervous about the whole process but she gave me and my husband the knowledge and support we needed to make it through labor and a fantastic natural birth."
