Testimonies

I have had some really amazing clients! Here's a little about what they had to say about their experience with me!

 

“My husband and I used Jackie as our doula for our second child.  My mother was present for the birth of my first child and I realized what  an asset she was during the labor process.  Since she would not be present with this one we were looking for constant support again and found this in Jackie.  I was only at the birth center for 50 minutes before our daughter was born so Jackie was limited in the services she could provide.  During those 50 minutes though she was quick to jump in, suggesting alternative methods of coping, and applying counter-pressure when needed.  She remained by my side while my husband caught our baby girl and shared in our joy.  Afterward we were thankful for her attentiveness, willingness to take pictures, and ensuring that my husband and I were fed and comfortable.  We were thoroughly satisfied with her services.” -Erin, second delivery

“At first, I was hesitant having a doula, thinking that I would want that special time to be just the two of us. But, it turned out that Jackie a great resource to assist us in decision making, and very supportive in the chaotic moments where I didn’t necessarily know what to expect next. She knew when to be there and when to give us the space we needed. She didn’t take away from our special moments at all!” -Bryan, first time Dad

“We hired Jackie as our doula after receiving a recommendation from a friend and were pleased with her services.  Jackie was very calming and encouraging throughout my labor and delivery, and it was helpful to have a second set of hands (other than my husband’s) to give massage and apply pressure when needed.  My labor progressed quickly and my midwife actually did not make it to the birth.  The baby was delivered by a hospital doctor rather than the midwife, so I was thankful to have Jackie’s nurturing presence with us during the difficult times.  I was able to have a successful VBAC and am grateful for Jackie’s assistance.” -Dawn, second delivery,  VBAC

“My husband and I hired Jackie for the birth of our first child.  She provided support through the entire birth process including being available to answer questions and provide assistance before, during, and after labor and delivery. Jackie respected our birth wishes and advocated for those wishes during the birth.  Jackie was not only a support to me by offering suggestions for inducing labor and pain management but was also a support to my husband.” -Jamie, first time mom

"My husband and I hired Jackie for the birth of first baby and we plan on hiring Jackie again in the future, if need be! Jackie is a huge contributing factor of why our experience as amazing as it was from the initial visit with Jackie up until the birth of our son. She respected our wishes 100%, answered any and all questions, and provided calming support for the both my husband and I. I cannot express in words how grateful we are to have found Jackie and cannot imagine going through labor without her!" -Dawn, first time mom

"As a chiropractor who specializes in maternity and pediatrics I thought I had a pretty good idea of how my labor would go. My instincts during labor were not at all what I expected and having Jackie with me to support and coach was invaluable to achieving the natural birth we desired in a hospital setting. She was able to offer suggestions without interfering with the natural progression of things, and she was a valuable support person for my husband as well. I highly recommend Jackie for any labor, especially at a hospital. Even if you think you know what you're doing, she will surprise you with how helpful she is. Thanks Jackie!" - Christa, first time mom
