When we found out we were expecting baby #2, my partner and I decided that the first thing we wanted to do was to find a Doula to be our support through pregnancy and delivery. Our first birth experience was really traumatic, and so we were hesitant to commit to having anyone along for the ride this time, but Jackie erased that hesitation after our first conversation.
Throughout pregnancy, Jackie made sure that we had all the resources we needed to make informed choices. If we had any reservations about anything, she was available to help us work through our hesitation. She was a coach, a cheerleader, and an all around amazing support to have.
When I went into labour, Jackie was here to help me move my body to get baby into position and keep productive contractions coming. When labour fizzled out that first time, she was there to tell me it was ok to be sad and angry, but that I also needed to be patient and trust that my body would know what to do. When baby decided to come for real, Jackie was right beside me, a constant support and comfort to me while my body did big and unfamiliar things. She took AMAZING once in a lifetime photos that captured the beauty of our home delivery and that I will treasure forever.
I know that I would have struggled to get through this pregnancy and delivery without Jackie's strong support and kind spirit. She has a way of making you feel loved and respected that just makes everything you're worried about melt away. My partner and I cannot recommend Jackie enough to anyone looking to add a Doula to their birth team. I'll forever be grateful for the help she gave to our little family.
