"Exquisite Empathy is the perfect phrase to simplify my pregnancy journey, as a single mother, recovering addict, trauma survivor and woman who has endured multiple miscarriages, this experience has benefited me & my entire family more than I anticipated. I suffered from prenatal depression in its entirety, Jazz was by my side consistently, while continually being supportive, empathetic, inspiring & realistic. Having Jazz as my Birth Doula was the best decision ever! From the beginning she made it clear she was here for ME! Her actions & words proved just that! I was able to recover the lost feelings of connection & the emotional detachment I was experiencing from prenatal depression. Any time I needed information your girl was on it! Understanding that I was no longer alone in this situation, I was better able to connect with self & my baby boy. Constantly checking on my mental and physical conditions, she helped me to acknowledge I had the strength and motivation to continue working on myself and my family while having her support on the outside. I can truly say having Jazz as my Birth Doula was a life-changing experience, she is a blessing to all and I have to say it’s been one Exquisite journey! Gratitude to you, Jazz, infinitely!"
"Giving birth during COVID was one of the most overwhelming experiences of my life, but having Jazz by my side made all the difference. Her knowledge and calm guidance helped me navigate constantly changing hospital protocols and made me feel empowered when everything else felt uncertain. Even with restrictions in place, she found creative ways to ensure I felt supported, whether it was through virtual check-ins or helping us advocate for our needs at the hospital. Her emotional support and evidence-based knowledge gave me the confidence to trust myself and my decisions during such a challenging time. Jazz’s care was truly a light in the middle of the chaos, and I’ll always be grateful for her unwavering support."
"After giving birth, I was completely overwhelmed and didn’t know how to balance recovering while caring for a newborn. That’s when Jazz stepped in, and I can’t express how much her support meant to me. She helped me organize my home to make things easier, prepared nourishing meals, and was there to listen without judgment when I needed to talk. Her guidance with breastfeeding was invaluable—I wouldn’t have made it through those tough early days without her expertise and encouragement. Jazz created a sense of calm and confidence in a time when I felt anything but. Her care truly allowed me to focus on healing and bonding with my baby. She’s a postpartum angel!"
Yes! Doulas and midwives perform completely separate jobs. A midwife is a trained medical professional who is able to deliver babies and perform a variety of procedures. Doulas offer physical and emotional support, but do not perform any medical tasks or interfere with them. Midwives and doulas love to work together.
Doulas support all kinds of births. While many clients are hoping to have unmedicated or even home births, everyone can benefit from a doula. Remember that doulas do much more than pain relief during birth- education about the process, postpartum help and support, and other roles are also a part of the package.
Doulas are in no way meant to take on the same role as your partner. Your partner knows you, your comforts, your emotions, and what you need better than anyone and will be a huge part of your birth. Doulas come with knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that your partner may not have and help them find the best way to apply that knowledge to you. We love to work with partners, giving them tips for comfort measures and empowering them to be a part of the journey.
