I can't recommend Jeannie and The Nest Birth & Family enough! Jeannie was my birth doula for both of my births. The first birth was pretty complex as my daughter got stuck, and an emergency c-section seemed like the only option. Jeannie was able to get my body into different positions (even with an epidural), I remember the doctor's surprise (but support!) in witnessing it. Ultimately she was able to get the baby was un-stuck and I was able to avoid a c-section.

My second experience went so smoothly (even with induction), and my recovery was incredible. I was so excited that I was able to take a trip abroad (and felt great during it!), just 4 weeks postpartum!

There is so much I love about Jeannie and her philosophy -- she is genuinely open to all approaches (for example epidural / without, induction/no induction), she is a wealth of knowledge and help not just for the birth but before and after/during recovery (her exercises ato manage 3rd tri pain and get the baby in a good position were so helpful, as well as Linda's), and her thoughtfulness in her interactions with not just me and my husband, but with the team at the hospital were so impressive.

I can't imagine going through the birth experience without her, she was one of the very first people to find out I was expecting my second child! I am so thankful I was able to have her there to help achieve incredible outcomes for me and my daughters.
