“Jessica has proven to have as much knowledge, and more passion for what she does than the other doula's I interviewed. Not only did she provide the same quality of services as any of the others, she also consistently went above and beyond her call of duty even before she was hired. I had a heartfelt connection with this bright, intelligent, caring woman that I didn't even know. I have found more than "a woman who assists women during labor and after childbirth". I found someone to confide in, trust, care about, feel comfortable around, and as far as I know, this is the definition of a friend. I have to say "THANK YOU" for the superior work she has done so far, and I expect nothing less when I do finally go into labor and get to meet my new baby. I am glad I chose her to be a part of that wonderful experience.”

“From the first phone interview all the way to the days after the birth, Jessica was supportive, understanding, caring, and professional to say the very least. I could not find words to describe what an amazing job she did being my doula, and a bonus for me; I made a friend for life out of the experience. Jessica is not only an amazing doula, she is also an amazing person with knowledge beyond my expectations. If you are pregnant and considering hiring a doula, you will be making the biggest mistake you can make if you do not choose Jessica! I reluctantly chose to do a home birth, all natural, and Jessica calmed my fears, and when time came, she walked me through every single step with confidence and genuine care! I could not have asked for more, and I credit the success of this adventure to two things, the labor pool for physical support, and my doula for emotional support and guidance. I could not say enough to recommend Jessica, words are simply insufficient to describe her, her work, her dedication, and her knowledge. People say “I do it because it's my passion” but when I hired her, I didn't have to hear the words from her mouth, she made it very clear that this is her passion and her calling. No one was ever meant to do something more than she was meant to be a doula. Thank you so very much Jessica for all you have done for my family and me, if we expand our family further, you will be the first call I make!”

“The support, knowledge, and encouragement we received from Jessica was invaluable. Whenever I had a birth or labor question, Jessica supported me with information and resources to help me make an educated decision. It helped me to feel confident and assert myself, when faced with routine medical interventions. I feel that women need and deserve support from other women who understand what they are going through. I am so happy that I had a successful VBAC, naturally without pain medication. For me Jessica was one member of my team that I could not have done it without. She was there for me when I really needed her.”
Dawn and Todd
“From the first interview we felt that Jessica is both very professional and very personal. A winning combination for us! For our first birth we did not have a doula and while it went as expected, we both felt that it could be better. Thanks to Jessica the second one was everything we were hoping for. Jessica understood our personalities and our couple dynamic from the beginning and helped us reach our goals providing us with knowledge and encouragement, and without any judging. I will definitely recommend any woman to hire a doula, but more than that I will recommend them to hire Jessica. Thank you for your great work, and for who you are!”

“At our first meeting with Jessica we not only felt comfortable with her but were impressed with her knowledge of the birthing process and all the possibilities that come with it. We were excited to make her our birth doula and she proved to be an excellent choice. Jessica was there any time we had questions or concerns and helped to make us feel more confident about the birth. During the birth she made the room feel more tranquil and comfortable with aromatherapy; offered suggestions on positioning and working through contractions; gave great moral support to both me and my husband; and was all around wonderfully supportive and a great help. We hope she will be there for our next birth!”

“My husband, Eric, and I decided we'd like to have a doula and actually didn't come across Jessica upon our initial doula search. We contracted another doula, who informed us that she'd be out of town 10 days before our due date, and that during that time Jessica would be our back up doula. Jessica came to the meeting with our doula, and we all hit it off right away. My husband and I felt very lucky that we felt so comfortable with our original doula as well as our back up doula, Jessica. Well, I ended up going into labor the day after my doula left town, so I called Jessica to let her know we needed her. We cannot express just how thankful we are for all her hard work during the birth! I did a hypnobabies birth and she was amazing during the entire thing. Jessica kept me very calm and relaxed with her hours of back massage that I would have died without! She also did as much as she could to keep Eric involved. She helped him do the counter pressure which was really nice. After the birth, Jessica took some pictures that we will always treasure. She also kept a birth log throughout the labor, which was nice to read. You don't remember some of the funny little moments that happen during labor, but since Jessica wrote them down I can read her notes and think back on all the special moments of our daughter, Kadyn's, birth. I highly recommend Jessica to anybody and everybody! We absolutely loved having her there, and are so thankful she was there to help us through such a special time.”

"I am so glad we decided to hire Jessica as our doula! She is compassionate, down to earth, knowledgable, open, and willing to go the extra mile! My birth experience was over 24 hours long, and Pre-term....Jessica was there as soon as I said the word. She endured the long hours with me...she was supportive to me, my husband, and my girlfriends who also attended my birth. I would recommend her to ANYONE....as would both of my girlfriends who witnessed her expertise.
Thank you Jessica for the most memorable experience of my life :)”

“Jessica was absolutely instrumental in allowing me to achieve the natural, med-free birth I dreamed about for the birth of my second child. Before meeting Jessica I had doubts whether I would be able to handle the pain of childbirth to go without an epidural. From the very first interview, Jessica put me at ease and I knew I wanted ...her to be part of my birth team. I could tell from the very beginning that not only did she have a passion for childbirth and helping women during labor, but she was also a good fit for my personality. I knew that Jessica would fit perfectly into the kind of fun birth I envisioned. Jessica thoroughly took the time during prenatal appointments to really get to know my husband and I, the kind of birth we wanted, and how we saw a doula fitting in to our birth plan. She offered unbiased information on several subjects we asked her about and went out of her way to keep tabs on how I was feeling when I went past my due date. The actual birth was amazing and perfect, and I attribute a lot of that to feeling safe and supported by my birth team. Jessica was a rock and kept me calm and grounded when I truly needed the extra reassurance. I experienced some emergency complications about three hours postpartum and again Jessica really stepped up and went the extra mile for us. I can not thank Jessica enough for helping my family and I through my pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. She is truly passionate about what she does and I will would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!”
“I don't know what I would have done without Jessica! My son arrived nine days past due. Jessica kept me sane while I waited. When the time finally came, I had a long and challenging labor that lasted over 24 hrs. (including one pre-mature trip to the hospital). Jessica remained patient and encouraging the entire time. During labor I went deep into myself and was not always able to verbalize my needs. Jessica's intuition was amazing. She instinctively knew what I needed and helped me find my inner strength. When she wasn't talking or helping me breathe through a contraction, I felt that just her physical presence in the room was enough to keep me calm and focused. In the end, the VBAC I was hoping for did not work out. Jessica continued to support me in the OR and stay with me after surgery. She went above and beyond by keeping a birth log and taking pictures. The images she captured will be treasured forever. My favorite one is of my son when he was finally put on my chest and he is looking up at me with an expression that says "you did it mom!" I highly recommend Jessica to anyone considering hiring a doula. She has a unique gift and this is truly her calling!”

“We were so lucky to find Jessica. When we met with her the first time, we were impressed by her professional presentation and her warm heart. She had the knowledge, patience, and humor we were looking for to assist us in our first child's birth. Jessica provided outstanding pre-labor support and brought some much needed joy into our home by henna painting my round belly. Her artwork was beautiful and the baby loved the attention. Once my water broke, Jessica was on hand to provide insight about how to move forward. Upon meeting us at the hospital, she was foundational in setting the tone for being present with every contraction. She stood by us both providing insight and direction. She was wholey supportive and advocated for what we wanted. Her positive presence was so nice to have as we welcomed our daughter in to this world.”
