TESTIMONIALS
Jane is a wonderful, supportive and deeply invested doula. She always approached our time together with such care and offered many different resources, ideas and avenues for how to approach pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Jane has a great sense of humor and our visits always felt comfortable, natural and at ease and she offered a lot of wisdom. During the end of my pregnancy I experienced some anxiety and Jane, always a phone call away, helped me navigate my feelings, grounding me and enabling me to feel calmer faster and recover quickly. Jane is a special doula and made our time together fun and reassuring and I highly recommend her and would not go through pregnancy without her.

I was a first time mom and had a high risk pregnancy and while a few of our friends had babies, we were mostly complete newbies to the whole pregnancy and delivery experience. I also was concerned about past issues with anxiety and panic disorder flaring up and really wanted extra support from someone with experience and a calming presence in the delivery room.
We interviewed a few different doulas and while all seemed great, we just connected with Jane and even in the first interview it felt like talking with an old friend. She took my mental health just as serious as my physical health, made no questions seem too small, and most importantly for me had a great sense of humor. She was a great resource throughout pregnancy and postpartum and was incredible support navigating the hospital and labor/delivery process. Bonus for me, she’s also plus-size friendly which was something I was self-conscious about. Definitely recommend Jane if you’re looking for that objective, calming support person on the big day.

We had Jane as our birth and postpartum doula in the fall of 2023, and she made us feel so supported and comfortable the whole way through. I had what I would define as a "scary hospital birth" and yet the minute she arrived, I felt an immediate sense of security and ease. Jane was there to translate everything that was happening, helped us to pause when and where possible, and made everything feel less scary just through her presence and physical, practical as well as emotional support.
While I ended up needing a C-section, Jane was an invaluable asset through my third trimester (first pregnancy, group b strep anxiety, insomnia, SPD pelvic pain), the actual birth, and beyond. When my milk took over a week to come in, she checked in daily and normalized the whole process given my circumstances, while also not trivializing my anxiety and stress. She knew breastfeeding was a goal of mine and was instrumental in my ability to successfully breastfeed (which I'm still doing, 18 months later).
Jane is personal and professional at once, something that is not easy to achieve, and after her services concluded, we missed her like we would a dear friend.

“As first time parents, with no family in the city, hiring Jane was the best decision we made in the lead up to giving birth. She is genuinely a kind and caring person, and will take the time to get to know you and gain your trust. I felt very comfortable having her in the delivery room and she tended to me during the entire induction. We discussed labour progression and she helped us feel comfortable with voicing our preferences to the medical team. I felt incredibly supported and cared for during labour and delivery, and my husband was also very much appreciative of her presence and the different techniques she used to help alleviate the pain. Jane is highly professional and reliable. She was also great with our son during the postpartum visits; we were amazed at how she could change him and we wouldn't hear a peep. She's the real deal! I wholeheartedly recommend her. If you're on the fence about getting a birth doula, do it, and hire Jane.”

“We interviewed four other doulas, but despite their experience, we still felt more comfortable with Jane. Jane has a very West Coast chill vibe, and we liked that she was personable, down to earth and overall very calming. Making the birth plan [with Jane] made me feel less anxious about being railroaded in the delivery, which very much did not go to plan. In fact, literally every single thing I didn't want to happen (besides C-section), did happen. That is, I had to be induced, undergo a number of interventions, have an epidural, etc. And yet, I still had a positive birth experience because I was confident in my understanding and knew I had a great support team to back me up. And let's not underestimate the value of comfort. From making me feel comfortable advocating for myself as a patient, to trying to ease my extreme discomfort during labor, to prioritizing my comfort in healing postpartum, Jane not only put me first, but allayed any guilt I had in needing care.”
