Mama Bear Doula Care

Jen was very helpful through the pre-natal process. She did virtual sessions due to Covid-19 and provided materials to read via email.

She was well-versed and thorough. Helped us prepare for childbirth and the birthing process. Made us feel more familiar with everything.

A great help!

We chose Jen out of 3 doulas we interviewed because she seemed nonjudgmental about whatever path our birth took, focused on serving and caring for us, and was attentive and responsive. Jen was just what we needed to get through an unmedicated hospital birth. She set up the tone of the room, worked beautifully with the staff, and maintained a safe space for our epic process. She offered ideas for shifting the experience at the right moments to keep me moving forward - walking, shower, hand fan. Her presence helped my partner with the nerves, and her review of the birth reminded us how it was beautiful, meaningful, and unique. Love!

We are very happy to have had Jen as our Doula for the birth of our baby boy! As the partner to my wife, I really appreciated everything Jen did for us because of her genuine character, extremely positive energy, a wealth of knowledge, and always being open and listening to our feelings and thoughts. The birth of our son was the most intense and most wonderful experience of my life and having Jen there was exactly what we had hoped to have.

The meetings with her prior to going to hospital was very useful and helpful and with new info (even when we had taken multiple classes at the hospital). She had great techniques that we used. Throughout the birth she guided my partner with utmost care and useful suggestions how to progress.

I felt that she always heard what we said and respected our decisions. The delivery room was full of love!!

The after-the-birth visits were so reassuring as we were getting used to this crazy new way of living!

I totally recommend her as a doula to others.

Though choosing doula is a very personal decision based on many factors, talk to Jen first! She is very skilled, professional, well educated, mindful, truly inclusive, non-judgemental and calm. Let her know your goals, wishes and expectations and she'll stand by your grounds. True Mama Bear!

Jen’s support was vital for both my birthing and postpartum experiences. No amount of reading or prenatal classes could have prepared me for the coming of parenthood. I am grateful for her help in transitioning me into maternity and beyond. It is clear that Jen is passionate about her doula care, and eager to fill the gaps in the insufficient support systems available for women, like me, who lack the resources and network to aid them in maternity.

Jen was an advocate in articulating my wishes to healthcare professionals at the hospital. Following my postpartum period, I faced challenges including nursing issues. She was proactive in providing guidance, teaching techniques and connecting me to the right professionals. Jen is a present doula - she not only has strong listening skills she also attended appointments with me. Overall, her advice, relevant information, emotional support and advocacy contributed my healing and well-being.
