Doulas create a relaxing environment and positive impact on the well-being of the entire family. A few examples of a doulas care may include serving as a soothing voice, using relaxation techniques and breathing exercises, offering advice on comfortable labour positions and breast feeding support.

Jessica was great during my labor. I had reached out to her for support as I had planned due to an unmedicated birth, due to my water breaking, I was unfortunately induced. She helped me breath and work through my contractions and supported my partner. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants great support during pregnancy, labor and delivery.

Jessica is one of those people you feel at ease with right away. Her services were invaluable to my husband and I with the birth of our first baby. I wouldn’t have been comfortable planning a homebirth without her support. My husband so appreciated her guidance during the labour. She was amazing at coaching me through contractions, position changes and breathing to be able to have a natural unmedicated birth. Her support afterwards was great as well providing advice and answering questions to put us at ease. If you’re on the fence, Jess is definitely worth the investment!

I cannot recommend Jessica enough! Every family deserves to have this kind of support during pregnancy, labour and delivery, and post birth. Jessica was the rock in the room during the birth of our daughter. A long and intense homebirth, I absolutely could not have done it without her. Her constant encouragement, positive affirmations, breathing guidance, position changes and advocacy for myself with the rest of the team all contributed to how this birth turned out. My husband also says he could not have been the birth partner he was without Jessica’s guidance and support. It gave him the breaks he needed and also the confidence to support me throughout. I don’t think I experienced a single contraction without either Jessica or my husband at my side, and my labour was 37 hours long!

Thank you Jessica for being a part of this magical milestone in our family ❤

The first time Jess came to my house as a postpartum doula she held my new baby for 2 hours and washed the pile of dishes that never seem to disappear. Jess has been amazing with helping my toddler transition to being a big sister and getting down on her level to play. We all look forward to the days she visit and I hope to hire her again in the future.

Jessica was with me during those rough postpartum weeks. I am a first time mom with a colicky baby and having Jessica with me during those first few weeks was invaluable!! She worked with me to improve my latch during breastfeeding and offered great suggestions on how to soothe my baby as well as her own tips/tricks to help care for my baby and myself! She is very down-to-earth and non judgmental – I felt really comfortable around her and would 100% recommend her services to any parent!

I was lucky enough to have the support of Jessica when I got mastitis while breastfeeding. Jessica offered her knowledge and support and helped me navigate through my symptoms and discomfort. She was there for me through the whole process and her reassurance and assistance was comforting. She followed up with me and made sure that I was fully healed. I felt comfortable asking her any questions or addressing any concerns. I highly recommend Jessica as a doula. Thank you Jess!

After learning that my husband, Connor, and I were expecting, I immediately started researching what services a doula provided and quickly learned that I needed a doula in my life. Jess has been an essential part of our transition into parenthood as a postpartum doula. Her expertise, knowledge, services, and friendly personality have been an incredible asset to our growing family. We have learned so much from her in the last couple months and have gotten the care and rest that myself, Connor, and Sloane have needed. We always look forward to the days she visits; we couldn’t be more thankful! On top of everything she provides for us, she goes above and beyond when we need guidance, information about local shops and services (we’re new to Grey Bruce), lots and lots of encouragement, and not to mention, giving a sweet and thoughtful homemade gift for me to enjoy and relax. She also provided tools and knowledge to use during labour and delivery as she was not able to be in the hospital as a secondary support person due to covid. Her services are invaluable and her warm, fun personality make her perfect for this role and easy to welcome into any home. We highly recommend Jess to anyone expecting!

I’ve been working with Jess through my pregnancy and with birth right around the corner I am so happy to have her on my side. She brings a calm and informed viewpoint to the whole process. I feel very prepared going into my labour time and I’m glad to know she’ll be there with my husband and I to support us. I lost my mom just over a year ago and I was happy to find female support for the process

What an emotional journey having a baby and a toddler! Jess would walk into my home and bring a bag of fun resources for my toddler to work on and keep him busy, while also supporting myself and my baby! I couldn’t have done it without her!

I am so happy to share how supportive and on top of things Jessica was while she was our post partum doula! She is full of knowledge and always has such a positive attitude. There were times when I really needed that added support and she was always willing to go above and beyond to offer guidance! We would have her again in a heartbeat.

What a hands on doula who was always there when you needed her! Struggling with breastfeeding at the beginning, Jess really helped me with positioning my son. This being my first baby, Jessica’s calming demeanor helped me relax and stay calm
