Jen is MAGNIFICENT. We have worked with her twice now for both of the births of our children, and we could not have had a better set of experiences. Her calm demeanor, her reassurance, her knowledge and expertise, and all the advice and assistance with advocacy were absolutely invaluable, and I am sure we were able to have such smooth labors/deliveries with our children because of her assistance. I’m also so grateful for her guidance before and after birth! I would recommend Jen 10/10 times, 5 stars all around. If we have a third baby, we’ll hire her again!

GUMy doulas were very knowledgeable and available to answer our questions which was very helpful during pregnancy, birth, and afterward. Maybe even more important they are both very kind and caring people who really make you feel supported and cared for during your whole birthing story. My husband and I highly recommend them and are so grateful for them.

EPI was on the fence as to whether I would need a birth doula but ultimately decided to have one as support for my husband to ensure he was less nervous during labor and delivery. We met with Jen quickly realized she was the perfect fit for us. Jen was an incredible presence throughout our interesting labor. She provided guidance throughout and really helped ensure we both felt comfortable with the direction my care was going. Once Jen arrived at the hospital, my husband was able to take a much-needed break and Jen was such a comfort to me - she has such a steady hand (both physically and emotionally). My husband says it best, "I could have said exactly what Jen said at the exact same time and it would not have had the same effect. She is worth her weight in gold." I couldn't agree more - Jen was there for both of us in the way that each of us needed. She was also incredibly generous with her time postpartum and answered many of our frantic new parent questions in the days following arriving home. We have utilized their postpartum doula care as well and have loved the flexibility and care.

KFWe loved working with Jen for our first pregnancy and birth! Jen was with us on birthing day. She kept in great contact with us during early labor, came to our home, and was with us every step of the way during what ended up being a wild ride and ended with a c-section. She was such a calming presence during the whole thing, took some wonderful photos, and stayed at the hospital with us until we got settled in. My favorite part was having her come visit us at home a few days later and help us process the entire experience and talk through everything that happened (birth can be a blur sometimes!).
