"Tina, thank you so much for everything you did to help us have the birth we wanted. We could not have done it without you!' Heather and Adam Z., June 2008
"We are so grateful for you. Tina, thank you for helping us welcome our baby girl!" Tara and Chris M., July 2008
"I had an emergency c-section with my first child and was committed to a VBAC. Jeni was so supportive throughout the months before. Whenever I needed some positive advice or just someone to listen she was always there. I wouldn't have gotten through the preparation for birth without her. Even though I couldn't have the birth that I had dreamed about I was so happy with how my birth turned out. I was really nervous and so was my husband. Jeni was there to hold my hand, calm me with lavender oil and help me breast feed just after my little baby girl arrived. It was only because of Jeni that we were able to create such a beautiful journey and memory." Krista A. of Jupiter. May 2010
'"Jeni Johnson was my doula for both of my daughter's births. I initially contacted Jeni after seeking someone who could assist me during a drug free, natural birth using hypnosis. I prepared for both of my births with the Hypnobabies home self study course. Jeni was willing to work with me using the techniques that I was practicing and intending to use during my birthing times. I highly recommend Doulas of the Palm Beaches, specifically Jeni Johnson. She was always available to me to answer questions and offer words of wisdom. Jeni met with me several times before the births and was with me immediately when the time came. Having her with my husband and I in the hospital was calming to both of us. Her experience and familiarity with the hospital staff allowed me to relax and focus on bringing my baby into the world. She never left my side and offered support and assistance whenever needed. Most women want to the the father of their baby right with them during birth, as I did. But having an experienced doula also there, made the experience that much more comfortable. My husband could not relate whatsoever to what I was going through. While he did his best to comfort and coach me, I appreciated having a experienced doula hold my hand and guide me through the experience. A doula like Jeni is worth the investment and I highly recommend her." Jennifer A, of Palm Beach, August 2008, August 2011
"Jeni, I cannot even begin to put into words how much you helped Will and I
though our labor and delivery. I truly believe that I could not have
done it without you there to help support me, comfort me, and refocus me
when it was necessary. Before our first meeting, Will was very
skeptical about us hiring a doula because of all the misconceptions and
misunderstandings surrounding them. He went along with it because he
knew that it was important to me to have some extra support and guidance
with this being my first pregnancy
and both of our families living so far away. I will never forget the
day that we were on our way to meet you for the first time, Will said to
me "If she has hairy legs and smells of Patchouli, we are out of here."
Of course, you didn't =) and we formed an instant connection with you
that I feel formed into an actual friendship over the course of our
pregnancy and delivery. You provided us with invaluable information and
comfort and always seemed to be exactly what we needed when we needed
it, which in my opinion is what makes you so wonderful at what you do.
Even though I didn't experience my ideal birth, I did get to experience
labor in all it's glory and I have you to thank for that. You helped
me feel more in control and confident about what I wanted which enabled
me to make my own decisions about my care and the path my labor took.
Unfortunately, my body didn't get the memo, but I am not disappointed
in myself or my body because in the end, I got my beautiful, healthy
baby boy and that is all that matters. I will never forget the
kindness, quiet strength, and humor you provided us during one of the
most important experiences of our lives. Thank You!"Denae O. of Jupiter, December 2010
"My
goal was to have a natural VBAC away from my doctors, family and home
in Michigan. What seemed like an impossibly stressful situation, Jeni
made perfect. She always had encouraging words and took the time to get
to know me and my body. Her patience and love gave me a beautiful
delivery of my daughter with every aspect of my vision. I wouldn't have
changed a thing and I'm glad Jeni was able to share this with me and my
husband. She is an angel that will forever be a part of my life". Jenny G. of Michigan and Jupiter, January 2008
"Jeni
was amazing at our homebirth/waterbirth! She was everything to my
husband and I. She helped me find my strength and courage when I thought
it was lost. She empowered my husband to help, even though he thought he
could not. I cannot imagine my birth to Rylan without Jeni. Jeni will
have a place in our hearts and prayers forever. She is truly doing what
God intended her to do... be a doula!. I will NEVER have another baby
without Jeni being a part of it. Thank you". Kim G. of Lake Worth, August 2007
"When I have my next baby, I will definitely use Tina again". Melinda B. of Palm Beach, January 2006 "We did!" January 2007
"Jeni, as we reflect back, we are often reminded of just how important your partnership was to us before and during the birth of our son. You
are truly an angel to us and a credit to your calling". Karen G. and John H. of Jupiter, February 2006
"Jeni was wonderful. She was so composed and especially great with breathing techniques at the end of my birth. We loved having her share our experience". Mandi and Sean C. of Jupiter, November 2005
"While
Dennis was away at war, having a doula provided me with the comfort and
support I needed. I would recommend Jeni and Tina to anyone". Kelly V. of Miami, August 2005
