Having Jodi as my doula was the best thing I did for my pregnancy and birth. As a severe anxiety sufferer, I was worried about how I would be able to cope with those fears through my birth. Jodi has a wealth of knowledge and experience which she was able to share that helped me to prepare for my birth physically and mentally.  Jodi has an incredible peaceful energy that really helped me to relax and trust the process and my body, resulting in a calm and empowering labour and birth experience which I don’t think would’ve happened if I didn’t have her there. Jodi helped me communicate my needs when I couldn’t do it for myself.

I am so grateful to Jodi for helping myself and my husband through this entirely new and overwhelming experience. 
I feel as though these words don’t express just how much she truly did for us and how essential she was in our experience but I can say that she will be someone I’ll go back to every time.

I met Jodi in my second trimester and she has supported me through pregnancy, labour, birth and now postpartum care. Jodi has made relaxing foot baths, warm healing drinks, nourishing soups, given me a huge confidence boost with breastfeeding, listened to all my concerns, issues and backed me to have the clarity and determination to birth the way I always wanted... even when pressure came in from the outside world. Not to mention; the regular check-in texts/calls, home visits and chai catch ups. This type of continuity of care is exceptional and makes for a huge difference in how I feel about myself embarking on the motherhood journey. I highly recommend having a doula on your support team. It’s a no brainer! Amos, Ben and I are so lucky to have you 🌷 Thank You for all that you do x
