We were the lucky ones who found Janice and asked her to be our doula! It’s been 21 years since she helped us bring our son, John into the world. I know I’m speaking for my husband as well when I say that we could never truly express in words what Janice did for us while I was pregnant and through the entire birth process (not leaving us ONCE while in the hospital). Janice was the first person that made me feel heard- answering every one of my hundreds of questions. I was not a confident mom to be. I didn’t have many role models growing up and the ones I had were quite negative. To be honest, the whole experience scared me to death. But that all changed after we found Janice. The amount of support and education we received from her was more than I ever got anywhere else; including my mid wife and OB/GYN office. She truly loves what she does and it shines through in her calm, caring and compassionate demeanor. A few years ago, we reconnected on social media and I was able to tell her (and do every chance I get) how much of a difference she made in our pregnancy, birth and after he was born; teaching me how to breastfeed. Jeff and I could never thank her enough. Our son has heard so many stories of his birth and they always include Janice! Janice’s knowledge and years of experience makes her the best in the business! If your lucky enough to take her class or work with her in any way -Please do, you’ll get more out of it

 I got to work with Janice briefly as a labor and delivery nurse and she was always fantastic with her patients. Her knowledge makes her prepared for any situation yet she always has a holistic gentle approach. The hospital I had come from had a robust midwifery practice so I was very familiar with natural labor. Surprisingly, despite there being no midwives in the hospital I worked with Janice at, she was using many of the same techniques I had learned from previously working with midwives. Janice is passionate about what she does and you can trust you are in good hands when in her care. She is very knowledgeable about breastfeeding and has many years of experience helping new moms get through those first few days which can sometimes be challenging. I have no doubt she will go above and beyond for you when it comes to the birth of your precious new baby.
