I was always interested in having a homebirth since having my own bad experiences in hospitals. After seeing my mom friends have bad birth experiences in hospitals that interest quickly formed determination, I just didn't know how to go about it. Thankfully after posting on a local facebook group I was recommended Karen by name not just by one person but several people. I Always pictured myself finding someone Who was holistically minded whom I could learn from and very quickly when first speaking with her I realized Karen was exactly that. I'm so thankful we picked Karen for our home birth because my labor was not easy it was 30 hours long and I was not exactly the zen primal birther I had hoped to be I was throwing up crying and down right exhausted for the latter half of my birth and thinking omg how am I going to get this baby out who do I think I am?? But Karen was on top of it she coached me through the hardest parts and gave me and my perineum the support we desperately needed! Because of her I had an incredible birth that has empowered me so much through this postpartum period. I don't think I would've been able to labor and birth at home without her knowledge and quick action.

Her knowledge is unmatched by any physician I have encountered. She goes above and beyond for you throughout your whole pregnancy. The support I received from her after birthing my first child was immense. She was there to answer or support me through any milestone. My husband was so amazed at the care we received and said "she will deliver all our future children". Karen is an amazing Midwife and woman, I would recommend her a million times over.

Deciding to work with Jess for the birth of our first baby was one of the best decisions my husband…read moreand I have ever made. I first met her through her prenatal yoga classes and they quickly became my weekly highlight, especially as I progressed through my second and third trimester. I liked her style of teaching yoga and when I found out she was a doula, even though at that point I wasn't sure what a doula was or if we needed one since we were planning on a hospital birth, but she graciously and patiently answered all my questions. In the last few weeks of my pregnancy, knowing that Jess would be there for the entire labor and delivery process (and providing me with lots of great information beforehand) completely shifted my mindset about my upcoming birth. Instead of feeling anxious and afraid, I began to feel calm, prepared and even a little bit excited about the experience. When the big day arrived, she was enormously helpful with helping me through the contractions in the early phase. Although my son's birth went nowhere near what we had envisioned, she helped me tap into a well of strength I didn't know that I had. She also worked with my husband in a way that made the 3 of us feel like a team. Her information beforehand and support in the moment helped my husband and I partner with the doctors to make the best medical decisions for me and my baby. As a result of having Jess there, I felt empowered and informed and was able to advocate for what I wanted. What could have been a traumatic birth experience ultimately wasn't, and a big part of that was her presence. When I look back on the day, there are many aspects of the birth that I am proud of and were a beautiful experience. In short, I would highly recommend Jess to anyone, regardless of what kind of birth experience you want to have (hospital, birth center, home etc.)

The childbirth education course gave me a really clear picture of what to expect from my hospital birth and what some of the choices I might have to make would entail. The knowledge I gained from the class allowed me to advocate for myself effectively during labor and ask clear questions of my medical team when they made a suggestion. This allowed me to have a really positive birth experience as a first time mom! The breathing techniques covered in both the childbirth and yoga classes and the mindset work we did were also immensely helpful in managing my pain.

I don't have a printer and I don't ever plan to have a printer, so every once in a while when I need to print something, it's really convenient to be able to come here to do it. They have an app you can use to upload your document and print it which is really convenient so you don't have to email it to yourself. They also used this during the pandemic when they weren't letting people inside. If you're like me and don't want a printer, check out your local library!
