Susie and I have worked with Jennifer-Lee over the last few years and have the greatest respect and admiration for her labour, birth and postpartum support skills. She brings calm enthusiasm, infinite patience and an endless repertoire of physical, emotional and psychological self-help skills for the women she supports (and the midwives she works with!).

Jennifer-Lee was a pillar of support through our birth process. She provided valuable information and resources in the time leading up to the birth, was a calming voice for my husband and I during labour and is a supportive friend as we embark on the journey that is parenthood. The birth of our first was a remarkable experience and we can’t speak highly enough of Jennifer Lee’s care and support throughout.

Jennifer Lee is an excellent doula. She is very professional and has a good rapport with health professionals. She also possesses the ability to remain calm in stressful situations. She truly seems honored to be present in such a special time in a family's life and conveys her joy of the birth process through her positive attitude. She is extremely attentive, supportive and compassionate towards her clients. For example, she is the only doula that I have seen give her client a full body massage after the birth. A Royal treatment! I would highly recommend her doula services.

I have to say that hands down, hiring you as our doula was the best decision we ever made in the pregnancy and you made our whole experience a
fantastic one. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. We really appreciate you being a huge part in Trevor's birth.

Our first birth experience was really difficult and frightening. My husband and I both felt very alone and we didn't know what was 'normal' and what was not.

The second time around, we decided that the support of a doula would be helpful. The moment we met Jennifer-Lee, we knew it would be a good fit. We liked that she said she would be there to support us as a family. She took the time to get to know us, to discuss our past experience and what our concerns and hopes were for this baby's birth.

During the labour, Jennifer-Lee was incredible. She coached me through each contraction, helping me to breathe and to visualize my cervix relaxing. She told me I was safe and that this was all good and that every contraction was opening the way for our baby.

Just at the right times, she would remind me not to get caught up in the stories I was telling myself (I can't do it! It hurts too much!) as if she could read my mind. She seemed to know instinctively what to do to support me through the contractions--the right words, the right place to massage my back--I felt so safe and so cared-for and ultimately, so relaxed.

My husband felt that the pressure was off him to suddenly be "The Coach" and he was able to relax into and be part of the experience. In short, Jennifer-Lee was instrumental in making the birth of our second beautiful son a magical experience."

I don't know if it's because she's a doula or because she's Jennifer-Lee, but having her with me to help with the birth was the best thing I could have done. Having a doula/Jennifer-Lee helped to further put me in a positive mind-frame where I could have the birth I wanted. What an experience!!!

We had a really positive, informed birth experience, thanks to Jennifer-Lee.
We had planned for a VBAC but eventually chose a planned c-section. Jennifer-Lee was supportive and informative all the way. We especially liked her helpful information handouts.

Jennifer-Lee was my doula for the birth of my second child. She is a very warm and supportive person and at the birth she gave me all her energy in trying to make me comfortable and feel in control. She came as soon as I called her, because she knew that my first delivery was fast she new that this one would also be fast. When she arrived she immediately started massaging me and helping me with different positions to help me cope. I like to vocalize during my contractions and she helped to keep me centered and focused so that I would not get too tense. She helped me relax and accept each contraction. She also helped with my husband to give him ideas of how he could help me so that he felt supported in his role as well. Jennifer-Lee is also very good with her post partum visits. She made sure that I felt that I had every thing that I needed and came a few times to help with my positioning when breastfeeding my baby. She is a great listener and will do her best to help whoever she is working with to have the kind of birth that they want to have. She is great at what she does and I recommend her to every pregnant woman that I talk to now, if they want to listen.

We can't imagine going through our birth experience without Jennifer Lee by our side. Her soothing and encouraging presence during labour gave us much needed strength through the unexpected. Postpartum, she went the extra mile with support and advice to get us back on our feet. She was amazing, we highly recommend her!
