"Jen is a dear friend of mine and was the first face my oldest son saw when he was born, and maybe the 2nd when my youngest was born? (haha). As a birth doula I have seen her grow tremendously over the years and HIGHLY recommend her. She is calm, confident, kind, funny, and makes a mean postpartum peanut butter and honey sandwich. I think she especially shines as a postpartum doula. She is organized and super helpful, she cooks and cleans and communicates well, and ALWAYS hands me a swaddled up burrito baby fast asleep, could you ask for anything more?? We love Jen -Jen!!"

"I was expecting twins when Jen came into my life and all I can say is thank you universe. After the twins were born it was pure chaos. I thought I could manage it myself but I was wildly mistaken…cue Jen. She came in big smile, positive energy and just made everything okay. She’s extremely knowledgeable with all things babies, helped navigate feeding and sleeping issues. Would help with making healthy food, laundry, emotional support. She was one of the reasons I made it out of the baby phase alive and enjoyed it. All I can say is, you need a Jen if you’re expecting. I wish I had her for my first. All three of my children to this day ask about her or smile when they see her face. Thank you Jen we love you!"

"Jen is simply the BEST! I would recommend her a thousand times over. She came over weekly for the first five months of my daughter's life, and played a big role in keeping the wheels on the bus. I have a hard time accepting help, even though I knew I would need it when we were preparing to welcome our second little bundle of joy. I find it hard to let someone into my roost and hand over the reigns, but I went out on a limb and requested Jen join my village, and boy am I glad I did! She slid in seamlessly, making me feel totally comfortable and supported and was always ready to jump in wherever needed. She ended up feeling like another member of our family. She is knowledgeable, non-judgemental, responsible, excellent with babies and big sibs, we can't say enough!??"

"We had a great experience working with Jen as our doula. She was very attentive and responsive every step of the way. She made sure she was within reach and could be readily contacted as we approached the due date. She helped me create a birth plan and reinforced it during labor and birth so hospital staff knew my desires and traumatic birth history. Moreover, she brought a lot of joy and energy through the labor and birth process that helped us be more optimistic with this brith after the bad experience with our first. Her postpartum help was also amazing as it was great to have someone with toddler experience to get us through some rough early days when my husband worked. I definitely felt like we had a good support person present that we could rely on and would recommend!"

"I loved having Jen as my doula! Jen was calming during the hard moments and brought positive energy the entire time. I could not have done it without her. Not only was she a huge support for me, she was valuable to my other support people. I look forward to using Jen's postpartum services as well. My partner said, “she could calm a honey badger.”
