If you are looking for a mentor, an emotional support system, and a friend, look no further!
My husband and I were pregnant with our first and started searching for a doula as a part of our birth team. For us, it was important to have someone with us during our birth that would be able to remind us of our options and remind both my husband and I to advocate for ourselves during the birthing process. As a momma who birthed in a pandemic, it was easy to feel like everything was out of my control. Charity assured me that even in a pandemic, I could have control of my birthing experience. She was essential to my positive birth and if we have more children in the future she will be one of my first calls!
Charity also knew the importance of my husband’s experience as well! Prior to the birth she integrated all of our calls, skills to learn, and conversations with the birthing partner’s perspective. This allowed my husband to have the tools to take care of me emotionally and physically. Charity valued my husband’s feelings just as much as my own, which made us feel more empowered as a team going through the experience. Charity held my hand (and my husband’s hand) through one of the most important moments of our lives. I do not speak lightly when I say that I am beyond grateful for her support, comfort, and empowerment she gave to us. Birth can be scary because of all of the unknowns, especially if it is your first child. Charity was a calm and reassuring steadiness in a time where the world was so uncertain. We were more than clients to her. She was more than a doula to us.
We could not have had a better addition to our birth team than Charity Jeffs. We are forever grateful for her services.
