"To have a doula by your side as you are bringing forth a new life is
the best gift that you can give yourself. I really felt supported the
entire time with Jackie by my side. She helped me get through the
greatest pain to receive the greatest miracle. I am convinced that a
doula's work is so essential to a positive birth experience. I
wouldn't have it any other way."

"We were blessed to have Jackie as a Postpartum Doula after the birth of our second child and it truly was one of the best gifts.  Jackies knowledge, experience and caring attitude helped me enormously with ensuring that I was able to breastfeed successfully and provide my older daughter with a smooth transition to being a big sister.  I believe that having a doula lead to a very positive experience for our growing family and I highly recommend it."

"When we made the wise decision to hire a doula for the birth of our son, we researched and interviewed and then, without a doubt, saw Jackie rise to the very top of the list.  From the second we met her we were impressed with her attention to both of us and it completely carried through from start to finish for our entire journey.  Jackie is not only up to date on current birthing practices and is a wealth of knowledge and resources, but is also a kind, empathetic, completely responsive and natural reader of human energy and basic spiritual human needs.  When choosing a doula, it is vital to seek out someone you can trust during your most vulnerable and primal state.  Someone who will be your advocate.  Someone who will be there with you every step of the way and yet not get in the way.  Someone who can read and understand exactly what your body is going through, and understand your emotions and fears and hopes.  Someone who takes in everything your doctors and midwives and all hospital staff are telling you and help gather that information so that you can make positive decisions and understand your rights and responsibilities.  Jackie is that kind of doula.  She is a wise, old sage embedded into a young, vivacious mother's heart who is tuned in to the universe and all its positive energy.  We were so blessed to partner with Jackie and glean these benefits.  She was truly there to help guide us through one of the most trying labors we can imagine and maintained complete composure and unflappable professionalism all the way. Jackie will always be our son's special doula and the special doula for us."

"Thank you I can't say it enough. It helped me so much which in turn helped Amanda. I didn't even break down. I am sure it will come. All the emotions were wild but I held it in. Honestly I wasn't kidding when I said you were made for this. I meant it."
