I chose Jamie as my doula for my second child's birth. Jamie consistently provided great support throughout the prenatal, labor, and postpartum periods. She helped me attain my goal of a natural childbirth - something I didn't get to achieve with my first child's birth. During the prenatal appointments, she reviewed pain management techniques and labor positions with me and my husband. This was especially important to me as someone with anxiety around birth and pain. During labor, Jamie helped me achieve my birth goals by offering encouragement, breathing advice, pushing guidance, and different things/positions to try. She made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed and provided helpful reminders to drink, eat, etc. Jamie was instrumental in my child's birth being an empowering and positive experience for me. I highly recommend her services!

“Jamie was very helpful during labor, tirelessly assisting with pressure during contractions. She had suggestions for different positions to try and also provided emotional support for my husband during labor. Jamie also was amazing as a postpartum doula, letting me get some sleep, helping with the infant and his two year old brother, and taking care of laundry and dishes to provide a calm and restful environment while I was recovering from labor and adjusting to having two children in the house. I highly recommend her services.”

“Jamie was my doula for my second child. During my first labor, it was difficult that my midwife had to be in and out to attend other patients. Having the extra support person there all the time was really helpful with this labor. Jamie was very supportive and encouraging and helped prompt me to try changing positions when I was too distracted to think of it. She was both physically and emotionally supportive to myself and my husband. My husband also appreciated having her to help with giving support to both of us. I highly recommend using a doula and choosing Jamie if you are in the area!”

“Jamie was our doula for the birth of our first child. Through the entire process, she was caring knowledgeable and very kind. We met with Jamie in our home three times before the birth. During these sessions she helped us finalize our birth plan, checked in about our emotional and physical well-being and even provided a reiki session to help me relax. The baby was not in an optimal position and she helped us try to rotate her.In the weeks leading up to the birth Jamie contacted us via text message and email several times to make sure everything was on track. Labor started late at night and despite living 45 minutes away, Jamie arrived at the hospital within an hour. Labor lasted 23 hours and Jamie was by our side the entire time. She allowed my partner to take breaks and reminded him to eat. She constantly gave encouraging words, suggesting different positions and rubbing my back. Throughout, she was always helpful but never intrusive and always respectful of our decisions, even when the necessity made plans change. She continued to express interest and care about our new family after the birth and visited us a week later for a post-partum checkup. Overall, Jamie was a fantastic doula, supporting both of us in all of the ways we needed. We would highly recommend her!”

“Jamie was attentive to our every need, before and during labor/delivery. She knew how to fit into the process and be helpful to me, my partner, and the medical staff. Jame was a perfect bridge for me and my partner as we connected to the birth of our child.”

“I hired Jamie a my postpartum doula when circumstances changed that prevented family from being with me consistently the first two weeks after I gave birth. I felt immense relief that first day postpartum when Jamie showed up, made sure I had breakfast and plenty of water nearby, and then started cleaning my kitchen, putting away food people had brought, running the dishwasher, starting a load of laundry, and taking the baby for an hour so I could rest. I don't know how I would have survived those 48 hours without her help. She instinctively knew what needed to be done. I would highly recommend hiring Jamie if you're in the area!”

“Jamie was our doula for our first child. We did not have any family in the area and the extra love and support she provided during labor and delivery was priceless. She provided physical support during labor by helping with positions, pressure, and keeping me as comfortable as possible by helping keep me cool and calm. She encouraged me and helped me emotionally as labor progressed and my little girl was born. Her guidance and encouragement helped reassure both me and my husband as our midwives were in and out. Thank you Jamie for making our birth experience a great one! We will definitely be calling on her for our next bundle of joy!”
