"Thanks again for being the voice in my head all through labour!"
“One year on and I will forever be grateful to Jenny for holding my space. Jenny’s presence, knowledge, and her belief in me, enabled me to have an empowering labour and birth of my daughter (in my living room, with the midwives sent to the kitchen). Healing my past birth trauma and giving me the courage to say no when I wasn’t being listened to.”
Our story with Jenny started when our baby was almost 4 months in the womb. From our first conversation we knew we would love to share the most amazing experience of our lives so far with her guidance, spirituality/humanity and support. It was our first pregnancy and we had so many questions, novelties, doubts and excitements.
One thing was clear for us, we wanted to have a home birth as natural as possible, a spiritual and peaceful experience that welcomed baby E to Mother Earth with grace, divinity and infinite love. So, in Jenny we found all of these characteristics, she definitely embody all of those qualities, values and more 🌸
During our pregnancy we had some challenging situations and Jenny was there not to tell us what to do but to listen to us first of all, to clarify any questions we have and to point us to valid, impartial information and resources. As the internet is full of so much information (overwhelmingly so), we found this so helpful.
As well the information provided by Jenny always was targeted to our values and needs. Jenny expresses the information we required in such a clear, direct, assertive language that opened conversations and this always left us felling understood and empowered. She bridged the gap between the us (in the unknown) to the known, for that we are extremely grateful to you Jenny.
When we remember the day our son was born, Jenny's presence was an indispensable piece for the puzzle. There is a special moment that will stay with me forever, after a couple of hours of being expanding and feeling the need to push, I remembered asking Jenny without words just with my eyes big open 'Please, tell me what to do to bring E into the world now' and the answer I found in her eyes was always so clear and with such a powerful presence 'You know what to do, this is natural'.
In summary, because I could write more about our journey together, Jenny was those arms and heart that held the space for me, my husband and baby E to be in the role we needed to be and do what we needed to do. She always trust the natural process of giving birth, she holds the space for us in our conservatory with grace and calm. She allowed me to find my power, go to my inner master and shine that light I am. I will be eternally grateful for that. She knew I could do it but she let me see it by myself. Thank you Jenny for your beautiful essence, your professionalism and for being part of our lives. Lots of love from us. Sat Nam 🙏 Paul, Isabel and baby E. 💛🦊
“Jenny was our Doula for the birth of our second child last week and we both highly recommend her and her services. For various reasons we wanted support in labour the second time round which is why we thought about using a doula in the first place. Jenny brought knowledge and calmness to the who process which was much welcomed.
The birth itself was amazing and Jenny's calming presence was an essential component in allowing mum to follow her inner guidance to facilitate safe passage for our daughter to join the outside world!
Many thanks and would definitely work with Jenny again if we had another child.”
“A gift came through my door today from an angel I have the honour of knowing... she has been a constant in my journey into motherhood, she is strong, supportive and courageous and she is a voice that I trust and love. Thank you Jenny, I know that you hear me and I love that you respond.”
"Amazing knowledge, incredible heart, skilled in holding a beautiful, sacred space and bloody lovely."
“The powerful, peaceful presence you would want at your birth. We knew from the moment we met her that Jenny was for us, on our side and wanting us to be safe. She was a constant source of support from the start. After each meeting with her Gwyn and I felt so warm, held and well informed. She arrived for the birth, immediately tuned in to the vibe and held my hand (in this moment I exhaled for the first time I think 😂) there are no words for the strength having a sister there brought me. We love you Jenny xxx”
“Jenny was a really important part of our baby's journey from the womb to the world beyond. She was a strong guide, giving understanding, safety, freedom and choice when we met her during the pregnancy.At the crucial time, the witching hour, we called her and she flew to mama's side, filling her ear with peace and wisdom while I flapped around doing strange tasks that emerged during our baby's transition into the outside world.When we first met there was a strange feeling of being unnecessary or not trusted to be a companion or a protector in this vital time, which was good to recognise and talk about with my partner. But it wasn't about being replaced, but having another person on our team, who shared my partner's feelings about birth and motherhood, who had experienced it before, and was passionate about protecting and nurturing the experience.Jenny remains in our lives as parents through her amazing role as keeper of the slings. She is wonderful.”
"I've mentioned lots the word 'calm" because this is such a huge part of her support, helping us stay grounded and coping with each stage."
"Thank you for totally changing my approach to birth!"
"She was a calm and familiar presence, which made the hospital feel less of an alien environment"
"I loved your classes, I mostly loved your voice, and best of all, I had a beautiful birth made immensely easier because you taught me how to breathe properly!"
"I've known Jenny since I attended her antenatal classes during my first pregnancy 2 1/2 years ago. Since then, I've called upon her as a babywearing consultant, baby class teacher, and a friend.
When I became pregnant with my second, I knew I wanted her to be my doula. Jenny provided my husband and I with some great advice in planning our home birth. With her extensive birth knowledge, Jenny ensured that we were fully aware of our options and that our birth plan was as comprehensive as possible. She answered our questions thoroughly and did not pass any judgement on our choices.
Jenny was a great support during labour and after the birth, and was a calming influence for both of us. I highly recommend Jenny for all things birth related!"
“Jenny is simply wonderful, and we wouldn't have had the calm and positive birth experience that we did, without her.
She inspired and empowered us, giving us everything we needed to make informed decisions about our pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
Her calm and reassuring presence, and our antenatal preparations, made the experience of giving birth something to look forward to, rather than fear. She helped me to connect with myself, and my baby. She made me feel empowered, strong, and capable; as well as calm, and relaxed, and ready.
She supported not only me as a mama, but my family as well, and I know that my husband took great comfort in her guidance and support too. She enabled us to make decisions that have had a lasting positive impact on my family's life, and for that we are very grateful.
She brings with her so much knowledge, experience, calmness and kindness; and there's no one else we'd rather have had to support us on our journey.
I can't recommend Jenny highly enough, and I wouldn't hesitate to use any of her services again.
Thank you Jenny; you've made all the difference to our family's birth experience and beyond.”
"She gave us a safe space to make decisions in a calm and quiet way, and made us feel that our decisions were okay and right for us, without putting any pressure on us to decide in one particular way
"I can't thank you enough for giving me not only knowledge, techniques but the confidence to speak up and ask for the labour I wanted. I felt and still do feel so empowered by the whole birthing experience
Whilst I wouldn't go through it again tomorrow, it was a truly unforgettable and incredible experience that is in large part down to daisy and the exceptional programme that you taught."
'(Jenny) recently encapsulated my placenta following the birth of my 2nd baby. She was such a supportive influence during my pregnancy and made the collection and encapsulation process really easy and straight forward and I received my capsules, a placenta print and also my dried umbilical cord which (Jenny) had shaped into my daughters name, within 4 days of her birth, despite snow closing roads and causing delays! If I ever have another baby I will be hiring (Jenny) as my Doula and I highly recommend all of her services.
"She was very calming and always informative about options but never judgemental"
"Thank you, you made me feel relaxed and prepared for my birthing experience and I firmly believe that this helped me have the positive medication free birth I wanted”
"this time last year you were rescueing my placenta and coming to keep me company in recovery....
Although this birth was sooo far from what I wanted and needed it was beautiful because of the love and support I felt from you and Sam and the respect and understanding from both Maggie and Claire, I felt listened to and heard and so in this all it was unexpectedly healing
I remember it like some kind of amazing adventure I went on and a true tale to tell, rather than any kind of trauma
I shall always be so very very thankful for that
which is a blessing and sooooo rooted in the people around me and the love I felt
and very much the same for you, some people in this life can just touch you so deeply by their acts of kindness and words of encouragement and you are a woman who is the very spirit of that.
sooooo again thank you so much for being you
you were born to mother and to doula and to guide."
