"At the beginning of my pregnancy, I knew I wanted a doula on my birth team. Nope, take that back. I needed someone to help me navigate the waters of a hospital birth. Someone to give me ALL the information I needed, to be able to advocate for myself, in order to have the type of birth I wanted. Someone that was highly trained and skilled to be there physically and emotionally to support my husband and I as we became second time parents. And Jillian did exactly that and so much more. Her knowledge and support became invaluable when I had to give up my plan of spontaneous labor, for a medically necessary induction. She relayed all of our options to us, so we could make the best informed decision for our situation. She was there through pregnancy, always willing to talk or answer questions when I needed. She was there the moment labor picked up, stroking my head, reminding me to relax, and to keep the right tone during my contractions. She offered me water, and made sure my husband was supported while he helped me out. And right there at the end, when I felt for sure I could not do it anymore, her firm tone saying that I could, and her looking me straight in the eye, gave me the strength to get to the finish line. I have told her that I could not have done it without her. To which she said I could have. Yeah. I could have chosen to go without her help. Cause you have to give birth no matter what. But I sure would not have wanted to go through it without her. If you are an expecting mama, I could never recommend enough, adding Jillian to your birth team. She is a wealth of knowledge, will teach you how to advocate for yourself, and to support you no matter what type of birth experience you desire. And who doesn't want that type of support at such a special time?"

"It was wonderful having Jillian there to guide us through the birth process. Her calming presence put us at ease throughout labor. Jillian was full of ideas to help make the entire labor more comfortable. She went above and beyond, from hospital visits prior, to a NICU visit after, when our baby decided to join us prematurely. I am so grateful she was there for the birth of our son."

"If ever there was a time that I needed support, love, nurturing and to feel some sense of ease it was during that postpartum period after my daughter was born. I was back home after having a baby...this time I had a TODDLER at home too!! I needed so much emotional and physical support and Jill was able to intuitively, gracefully and lovingly provide me and my family with exactly what we needed during that crucial and vulnerable time."

"Jillian was such an important part of our experience. Not just from a practical standpoint, as she literally made a potentially stressful and difficult time a fun and relaxed process, but from an emotional standpoint. Having her in our home was so enjoyable that we didn't want her to leave. It was an experience that we will remember forever and anyone who has the fortune of retaining her services is in for a remarkable treat."

"Jillian is wonderful! As a first time mama, she helped my family and I tremendously. She provided me with the tools I needed to take care of myself and my newborn. Being a first time parent is the best feeling in the world, but can be scary at the same time. Jillian put me at such ease, so I could feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. I cant imagine not having her around for my second baby. I can only hope other families get to have the same experience as I did!"
