“One thing we knew immediately upon meeting Janeé was that she projected a very calming presence. Some people are more talkers than doers. Janeé is a doer. She was there when we needed her, thinking of all kinds of things that we hadn't thought of, and bringing a calming focus. Because of how my water broke, we had to rush to the hospital alone. When Janeé met us at the hospital, she right away got to finding little and big ways to help me get more physically  comfortable and emotionally stabilized. She was able to navigate the hospital and find more pillows when my husband couldn't. She suggested new poses to try to deal with the pain as it came. She was there for us and perfectly struck the balance between being our coach and following our lead. I am so sure that without Janeé, given all the particular details of our situation, I would have had a cesarean-- but Janeé's work played a part in how eventually, it worked out without one.”

“My Doula Janee was the best Doula that I could ask for! It was my first child and I decided to do a natural home birth but I wasn’t sure if I wanted a Doula because I thought my husband or friends could help out if needed. I decided to use Janeé late in my pregnancy around 34 or 36 weeks and this was the best decision I made. Janee stepped right in and I felt like she was on board from day one. She was very attentive, informative and caring. 

Janee checked in with me regularly both pre and postpartum. She made natural tea blends to aid with my pregnancy, birth and postpartum and dropped them off to my home. During labor she did everything needed to comfort me from making me a quick meal, keeping me hydrated with water or tea, hip squeezes, playing music, getting cold towels, and even offering her arm or hand to hold and squeeze when I was in pain. During all this she still found the time to take photos and videos of my birth which I wanted to have for my memories. Her help during labor really gave me the strength to push through and I was able to give birth to my beautiful baby girl naturally in the comfort of my home.

After my birth Janee was still involved and made sure I was getting the right postpartum recovery. She visited 2 days after I gave birth to drop off a yoni steamer seat and herbs to help with healing. Janee made this task so easy for me as she even gave me a pot to boil the herbs, a natural cleaning solution to clean the seat, and a nice wrap that I used to wrap around my body to entrap the steam. This remedy was so relaxing and I really enjoyed steaming. It was a few minutes to myself to just breathe and do something great for my body. She checked in with me or my husband everyday to see how things were going.”

“Janeè felt heaven sent when we connected during the last trimester of my pregnancy. We were in contact for a little while before we actually got the chance to meet in person, and it was during our official meeting that I understood the saying “good things come to those who wait for it.” 

If intuitive was a person, it’ll for sure be Janeè. She is amazing at anticipating your needs and knowing what you want even before you ask for it. I was made aware of the benefits of things such as Red Raspberry Leaf tea for pregnant women and also how important it was to have a birthing plan because of Janeè. She is very soft-spoken and has this calming aura to her, and this what I needed in a doula. 

I had a crazy labor that lasted about 48 hours and Janeè was there by our side the entire time. She was hired to assist in my home water birth, but unfortunately I had to be transferred to the hospital because my cervix wouldn’t dilate past 7 centimeters. But even in the hospital, Janeè and my midwife were still very much present to advocate for me against the overbearing hospital staff and policies. I felt protected and well taken care of because Janeè did not leave my side once when I most needed her. 

I can go on and on with the praises, but to keep it short, Janeè has such an amazing soul and is my forever doula.”
