“Working with Jeni was one of the most important decisions my partner and I made during the pregnancy. She was so educated on childbirth, breastfeeding, and infant care, and delivered the info to us warmly in a private session. ”
“Jeni was a fantastic virtual doula. We knew we didn’t want the full doula experience but we also knew we didn’t want to go into birth blindly. Jeni met us halfway by being available to us throughout our birth and afterwards via zoom/phone; it was so comforting to us.”
“Jeni’s warm, compassionate, generous, and authentic presence combined with her incredible depth of knowledge of research-based best practices made us feel so supported in all ways. She really listened to us, cared for us, and helped create a positive continuum throughout our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. ”
