“she helped me think about what I wanted this delivery to look like and figure out what my goals were. Her support throughout the labor and delivery was beyond amazing. She also helped guide my husband to be a better birthing partner, which was awesome. I fully credit her with being the reason I was able to have a natural delivery. jayde is a rockstar and I would strongly recommend her to any woman who is considering hiring a doula.”
