"As I prepared to give birth to my first child earlier this year, I knew I wanted the support of a doula to guide me through this challenging and transformative experience. I turned to Jill because I was so inspired by her perspective and the depth of her knowledge about the entire birth process. Jill is one of the most compassionate, respectful and kind people you will meet. She was also able to assertively advocate for me during my birth and empower me to continue with my labor goals despite unexpected complications. Her biggest gift to me was her calming and incredibly patient presence during my entire labor and delivery. My labor was complicated by an acute illness which left me feeling very weak, and Jill physically helped me into the most comfortable position during each and every contraction for over twelve hours. Knowing she was there by my side helped me to relax and follow the lead of my body to bring my baby into this world. She carefully observed what was working for me and helped my husband support me in ways that were truly comforting. The birth of my son turned out to be one of the most thrilling and wonderful experiences of my life, and that was due in large part to Jill’s skilled, personal and dedicated support."
