"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.

"I always wanted an unmedicated, natural birth.  Once I learned what doulas were about from a friend, Jeni was lucky enough to come into our life.  I am certain that without Jeni I would not have had the beautiful, natural birth I always wanted.  The birth of my sweet Maya was not a medical nightmare--it was a quiet, calm, amazing experience and Jeni was my guide.  Birth does not have to be like the screaming messes you see on television if you find the right doula.  Jeni was my advisor in the weeks before the birth, during labor and delivery, during my first hours as a mom while I learned how to nurse my baby, and in the weeks afterwards.  To this day, I credit Maya's entrance into this world as a big part of why she is so calm and happy.  Jeni's soothing voice, her humor, and constant encouragement will always be some of the sweetest parts of my memories of the beautiful birth of my baby.   I can't imagine having a baby without her."
Liz P. of Palm Beach Gardens, May 2010

"I can't thank you enough for all that you did for us during Jonathan's labor and delivery.  You helped keep me focused on my goal and really really helped with managing the pain and helping me progress so quickly that I think we surprised everyone when I was 9 centimeters and ready to go :-)  We will never forget your expertise, your calmness, your encouragement.  You were there with us from start to finish on the most incredible day of our lives.  Thank you again Tina." Tara and Joe Z.  July 2010

 "From the time my wife's water broke until she gave birth to our daughter, 23 hours elapsed. Going into the birth, my wife's desire was for a natural delivery. We expressed this very clearly to Jeni and our midwife. Initially, because her water broke so early, it looked like we might have to get a c-section, even though our child and my wife did not show any signs of stress or complications. If we hadn't had Jeni on our side early on, we probably would have been informed by the physician within 3 or 4 hours that a c-section was our only choice. Jeni informed us that if things progress regularly there really would not be a need for one. Jeni patiently waited with us from early in the morning thoroughout the day as we waited for the contractions to progress, which they did ever so slowly.  Around 6 or 7 pm the contractions started to come on more steadily. At this point, my wife began exhibiting all the normal signs of labor; the magnitude and spectrum of which I had not become fully aware. By this point, Jeni was not only helping my wife but she was helping me (!) through this process. Without a doubt, if Jeni was not with us (which surprisingly there really isn't anyone there except you and your wife and a nurse who comes and goes) I would have demanded a physician's attention and probably called for an immediate c-section! :) She was quite simply our savior in the delivery room. She has been through this before, so we trusted her to talk us through the process and let all the natural processes run their course. For the last several hours of labor, my wife was only able to concentrate on everything that was happening with her body and the instructions from Jeni.  Not only did she help my wife, but Jeni also coached me on how to help my wife during the labor. She told me what I could do to help my wife with her labor. If she was not there I would've had no idea how to be of assistance, especially since my wife wasn't in any condition to tell me what to do.  Everytime my wife reached a new stage in the labor, Jeni would provide a reassuring comment to us to let us know this was a good sign. Our labor turned out to be somewhat lengthy but never at any stage was there any abnormal stress on my wife or the baby. We trusted Jeni as we knew she would point out if anything took a turn for the worse. She helped us through the most intense stages of labor and gave me confidence that everything was fine, even when my wife seemed at the end of her rope.  My wife and I gave birth to a beautiful girl at 3:30 am on August 26th! Jeni was there to see this happen and help us bring this little girl into the world. Jeni never waived and stayed with us through the entire 20+ hour delivery! For that we owe her so much, and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone else!  Randy S. of West Palm Beach. August 2009







 
'"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

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
