There is no way that I will be able to truly express my gratitude and love for this woman, but I…read morewill try! I had always planned to have a natural birth with no medical interventions (if possible), so I knew I wanted to work with a Doula. I knew that a Doula would make my experience better, but I had no idea HOW much better it would actually be. From the start Jenna made me feel comfortable, supported, and empowered. There were no"dumb questions" or concerns, even when my hormones had me acting and feeling crazy leading up to the birth. I cannot imagine (and I don't want to imagine) my birth experience without her! OK here comes the long labor and birth story... I started having pre-labor contractions and weird symptoms (I was barely 37 weeks along)- Jenna texted and checked in with me throughout the day and into the night. I woke up when my water broke at midnight, my husband called Jenna and she helped time my contractions until it was time to head to the hospital (which happened very quickly). Jenna must have left get house immediately because as soon as we checked in, she was there with a smile on her face and excited to help! I was happy to find out that the nurses knew her and were actually happy that she was there to assist with my labor and birth! Over the next 22 hours, Jenna encouraged me, supported my husband, helped me get into different positions, heated water bottles for my lower back pain (she brought her own heater for this!), tracked all vitals reported by the nurses (there was even a time that they double-checked my previous blood pressure with her), helped me to the bathroom, fielded questions from the grandparents. There were long periods of time that my husband and I would have been alone, so we were so thankful that Jenna was there. When it came time to push, she and one other nurse held my legs so my husband could hold my hand. When our little baby made his arrival, Jenna was taking pictures and video (I forgot that I asked her for this)- somehow she managed to only capture the beautiful moments, haha! She continued to check in with me the days after delivery and came to our home a couple weeks later. My baby is now two months old and she still checks in on how we are all doing. My main concerns for labor and birth were that I would feel out of control, and scared- with Jenna there I never felt that way. She made sure our birth experience was miraculous and beautiful! I can't wait to call Jenna for our next baby's birth! Oh, and thanks to her, I was able to have a fully natural birth without medical intervention! Thank you, Jenna!!!

I hired Jenna for the birth of both my children. When my husband and I met her we instantly knew…read moreshe was a good match for us(we didn't even feel a need to interview anyone else). We knew her personality was a good fit. Jenna knew how to calm me down through my anxieties. She was also great with my husband too! Leading up to delivery she would give/recommend great reading materials and check in to see how I was feeling. With my most recent delivery, one of the first things I tell people is I couldn't have done it without my Doula. Jenna helped me with positioning to move through early labor. Then when active labor hit she knew exactly how to ease my labor pains and help me through all my contractions. She also gave me a great OBGYN recommendation and clearly knows a lot about San Diego's birthing community. It is very clear that Jenna genuinely loves what she does. You can feel her passion and positive energy fill the room.

Rue is super patient and knowledgeable. I explained to her all my concerns and what I've tried and she guided me to my best options. I am still trying some od her advices but I am very pleased with our meeting. You can also meet online because of the Pandemic. I just think that your first appointment should be in person so she can take a real look to baby's latch, positions, etc. She is very busy so plan ahead. I know it could be impossible with a baby and with turning of events, but try your best so you can resolve any issue fast :) The meeting will be very private. You feel like all the attention is focused on you Bring all your stuff so she can take a look to it too.

The team guided us before, during, and after delivery, answering all sorts of questions my husband and I had. They also taught us a lot about the breastfeeding process and labor techniques.

If this is your first baby or felt like prior labor experiences could've been better, I highly recommend setting up a consultation and you'll see how they take care of you from the start.

Abbey with Fort Worth Doulas was our doula for the birth of our first son this month. And honestly,…read morewe can't imagine this experience without her. She communicated with my wife, met with us a couple times at our house, and provided plenty of information and help. And then when the day arrived, she was there before we even arrived around 8:30am and cared for my wife and our family until over an hour after he was born, close to midnight, when she made sure he properly latched and began feeding. She used many positions and techniques to relieve pain, to help the process, and to ease our worries. When I couldn't be holding my wife's hand, Abbey was. When we didn't know something or needed something, she found out or asked for us. We felt cared for, taken care of, and blessed by her. We didn't take any birthing classes, just watched and read a lot beforehand. But I'm so thankful that we invested in Abbey's care and expertise. For my anxious wife and her inadequate husband, Abbey was exactly what we needed on one of the biggest days of our life.

WE LOVE T'ARAH!!! My husband and I decided at 36 weeks pregnant that it would be the best choice…read morefor us to add a doula to our birth team for reasons of wanting advocacy, mental and physical support for both of us. We contacted several Doulas that we had found by researching online and received a response from T'Arah at Mother Bear Doula Services within hours. T'Arah promptly answered our initial questions and we ended up scheduling to meet in person to talk more in depth about our expectations, wishes, past experiences, etc.. Soon after arriving at the coffee shop, just myself with my toddler in tow, we ordered some drinks and snacks and settled at a table to get to know each other. Of course it wasn't long before my son became antsy and distracted; but Tarah immediately came to the rescue, pulling coloring supplies out of her bag and playing Paw Patrol on her phone for him to watch. I had barely met her and she was already such a great help to me! ;) I felt an instant comfortability with T'Arah; I was totally comfortable with going into detail of my previous birth, which had been a traumatic experience, and could sense that she was sincerely invested in mine and my husband's concerns, wishes and preferences.. She listened, asked questions, provided advice and input and acknowledged my feelings. We shared personal stories and got to know each other more in depth than just birth related topics. More than interviewing her to be our Doula, I felt like I had just made a friend who helped me to feel excited and empowered to give birth! A few short weeks later, and after meeting with T'Arah a few more times as well as going to the hospital tour together, it was time to have our baby! I had hoped and dreamed that this birth would progress naturally, without induction, but when the time came, there were reasons for my husband and myself to ultimately decide that induction would be the safest course of action for getting our baby out as soon as we could. I was initially heartbroken and scared, but Tarah was there every step of the way, going out of her way to teach us natural labor inducing techniques which did actually help tremendously, as well as staying available to text or call for anything we needed. When the time came to be induced and start our Childbirth journey, T'Arah was present and alert, providing all the support we both needed from walking, getting snacks/drinks, talking, joking, massaging, physically holding me up, counseling, calming, etc.. in spite of being induced, T'Arah encouraged us in taking every step we could to have a birth that we truly wanted, and I succeeded in taking it one step at a time to have the natural birth I had wished for without further intervention. T'Arah played a key role in helping me have a birth experience that I am proud of and I will always be grateful to her for that. We will definitely have T'Arah as our Doula for any future babies!
