Congratulations! Your search for a doula has officially ended. My husband and I initially had no intentions of having a doula for our son’s birth. We debated over the need for such a service wondering if it was worth the unplanned expense. I can honestly say hiring Jackie was was the best decision we made. She’s just an overall awesome person. Jackie has great energy, is extremely knowledgeable, very resourceful, and prompt when providing requested information. She was so comforting during my labor to both myself and my husband. Jackie suggested a particular position for me to push and is the reason why our son was born so quickly. Treat yourself and hire the best doula in town!

Jackie is exceptional! I can’t imagine having gone through my pregnancy and childbirth without her help! She educated me on so many important things about pregnancy and labor, which helped me become more confident and empowered going into labor. The hospital nurses were great, but having Jackie for support was just different. I had built a connection with Jackie and having her there felt like a family member was there for me. That made me feel so much more comfortable and confident. She helped ease up the pain of contractions, and also helped me reposition the baby’s head naturally which helped in making the delivery more smooth. I can’t thank her enough for the emotional and physical support she provided during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

Jackie personifies everything I hoped for when choosing to hire a doula. She attended the birth of my first child and was an immeasurable help to myself and my husband during a whirlwind labor – she was excellent at modeling behaviors he could follow and didn’t require him to do anything but set the tone and showed him what would be useful for coping with an unmedicated birth. She is always willing to chat and share her experiences and ideas but also doesn’t push you to accept them as the only way. I would recommend her to anyone searching for a caring, intelligent, friendly and supportive doula – she’s absolutely wonderful and we could not have chosen anyone better to be by our side to help us through such an important event!

I met Jackie at the birthing class she offered at Frisco Birth Center (highly recommend, btw), and immediately found her presence to be so calming, and remember thinking, “if I could afford a doula she’s the type of person I’d want in my birthing space”. She was so knowledgeable and truly believes every mom has the power within to birth their babies. She did such a great job of delivering all the information necessary to make informed decisions for your birth and your baby. She covered every topic, and allowed so much discussion to happen so everyone felt heard and all of our questions were answered.
From the second I asked Jackie to be a part of my birth, she was all hands on deck. On board. By my side. She came to doctors appointments with me and took notes for me so I could focus on my transfer of care. She never even flinched when my plans changed 100 times and covered each one in intimate detail. She rolled with every punch and cheered me on with every change.
Fast forward to my birth. Jackie showed up about an hour after my water broke. I was just barely starting to breathe through my contractions. Without missing a beat, she stepped in, did massage and counter pressure without ever having to ask what I needed. She never stopped or took a break. My sons heart beat was dipping into the 50-60’s and she stayed so calm, and helped me to remain calm. Even when I was moved to the bed Jackie never left my side. She went above and beyond, anticipating my needs before I ever had to ask. Cold towels, water, holding me, reminding me to breathe. She was there.
If I ever get pregnant again, the first thing I’ll do is call Jackie and hire her again.
Thank you so much, Jackie, for everything you did for me and my boy tribe. We are so blessed to have you as a part of our story. I’m convinced my story would not have turned out nearly as peaceful without your presence.

We are so thankful that we hired Jackie as a Doula and to be part of our birth team! I can’t imagine going through our birth process without her. From the very beginning she was helpful in providing information, resources, and exercises to prep for birth. She was an amazing support during our time at the birth center and went with as as we got transferred to the hospital. She stayed all the way until Baby Maya was born and we were settled in. She never left our side and provided support in so many ways including encouraging words, coaching my husband on support, encouraging position changes, providing essential oils to help with nausea, or offering to braid my hair to get it out of my face. Her support snd presence gave me a sense of peace from the time we met until postpartum! She is the number one birth worker that you want on your team as she practices vulnerability, encouragement, and support.

Jackie is a fantastic doula. She was available for any and all questions or concerns throughout my pregnancy and postpartum, day or night. She offered great suggestions to help ease my aches and pains, and helped craft my birthing plan. When it came time for delivery Jackie was there for almost my entire 30 hour labor and delivery – she even cut the cord! Her kindness, care and support was invaluable in giving me an empowering and beautiful birthing experience. I feel truly blessed to have had her by my side.
