Jennifer was such a source of confidence and comfort to myself and my husband through pregnancy and through labour. She has a calm and gentle demeanour that was very helpful in the midst of surges. Jennifer’s presence during labour meant that my husband was able to offer emotional support to me, and not worry about other details. She was also great at coaching him with hip squeezes, which was a huge help! Definitely recommend Jennifer if you are looking for a doula support!
We highly recommend Jennifer! We hired her to be our postpartum doula while expecting our first baby. We had a lot of fears about how to take care of our baby when she arrived, as both me and my husband have not had much experience with babies. Also, it was important to me to breastfeed my daughter. Jennifer was amazing. Being a new mom (and new dad) was so overwhelming at first, but then all of Jennifer's help and advice provided a huge relief. Jennifer has lots of knowledge and tips on how to manage taking care of a newborn. She helped me with my breastfeeding challenges and was very encouraging. Jennifer is very easy going and relaxed and so easy to talk to. She helped us to become more confident and relaxed parents. She showed us the beauty of babywearing which we have continued (it is a life saver!). She also provided us with a break from parenting during visits, which was also a life saver - sometimes you just need to recharge! Overall she was fantastic and me & my husband highly recommend her to anyone who is having a baby. Thank you Jennifer for everything!
Jennifer's prenatal course was absolutely fantastic. Going into this course my husband and I really had no idea of any of the stages of labour, or really what to expect at all with the labour and delivery process plus postpartum. After having the session with Jennifer we definitely feel as though we have a way better understanding of what to expect in our upcoming labour and birth. Jennifer is very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions and was great at explaining things in detail whenever we had any concerns. Another great aspect of her course was we were able to be hands-on with some techniques and positions that really helped to ensure that we are doing things the proper way. It was also great to learn how to use some of the products we already have bought for our new baby that's coming, including how to put the baby in the car seat and how to wear the carriers that we have for our baby. Overall this course really helped us feel way more prepared for the new adventure that is to come, and thanks to Jennifer, she really kept us relaxed and calm and able to take in the information and feel ready to take what we've learned and apply it. Jennifer definitely gets five stars!
My husband & I had Jennifer come do a car seat consultation, and cloth diapering education at our home before we have our first child!
Ryan & I wanted other options to the bucket car seat for our newborn. Jennifer is so knowledgeable and well versed in all your car seat needs. She got the make and model of our vehicle, so she was able to give us pointers on what seats will work well for our vehicle, functionality, if we had another child what seats work best utilizing space and most importantly safety for newborn into toddler stage with certain seats. There are so many car seats on the market its overwhelming, she makes the process of buying a car seat less overwhelming and you don't waste money on a non-functional seat that won't meet the needs you have.
The cloth diapering education was eye opening. Jennifer has tons of experience with cloth diapering and brings all her cloth diapering options with her for you to try. She gives you all the options you have in cloth diapering, what to watch for in cloth diapering, proper laundering strategies, and discusses what your needs are. It was fantastic!!!
Jennifer is knowledgable and so lovely. Thanks for sharing all your skills and knowledge and helping support new families like ours.
We hired Jennifer as our Labour doula for the birth of our Second child. She was amazing! We were induced so it can be a bit of a different experience with a Doula. She arrived at the hospital promptly after we decided I was getting close to needing assistance. Once there she was able to be with me and help me through contractions with Hip squeezes and reassuring words as my husband went out to have dinner and greet his mom. Jennifer's support continued once my husband arrived back in the room. She assisted him with doing hip squeezes and switched off and on with him. She knew techniques to help labour progress like the use of a peanut ball, man that really worked. it was important to me to not have an epidural during labour and Jennifer was essential in helping myself and my husband get through the contractions so that I was able to get through without an epidural. I can't say enough good words for Jennifer! If you are considering a doula for sure meet with Jennifer to see if you mesh! :)
