kind words

Thank you Chef Jodi! I like your bolognese!

Luca, age 2.

Jodi is a kind, compassionate and thoughtful doula! My husband and I asked Jodi to join our birth team a few months before our little one was due. Her energy is very soothing and she made us feel at ease in this new and sometimes stressful season of life. She was always available to chat via phone, text or email and she checked in between meetings to be sure we were satisfied and had all our questions answered. Jodi was a comfort to have during labor (mine was quick and very intense!) And, I will always remember her counting me through my contractions to help me focus. We are so grateful to have had Jodi walk us through our first child birth experience!

We also hired Jodi for her postpartum meal service! This was a true life saver for us. She has a comprehensive questionnaire to figure out food preferences and she did a wonderful job planning a perfect menu for us. She took over our kitchen with grace for a few days to prep and cook, and left us with nourishing and beautiful meals that we enjoyed for a few weeks! We highly suggest everyone add on this service!

Jodi's postpartum meal service has been such a blessing and a treat!! Jodi put together a menu of thoughtful, nutritious meals and snacks that have brought me such joy and comfort in the postpartum period. Jodi was very accommodating with delivery and logistics and I would highly recommend her service to anyone.

I met Jodi in my last trimester back in 2019 and it was like she was heaven sent! Very patient, attentive, detail oriented, loving, compassionate, and I could go on. She never left my side during active labor and made it a lot more soothing and easier for me as a ftm! Thank you so much!!

My wife and I used Jodi for her postpartum services. She cooked for us, which is a huge help when you’re running on so little sleep. She also tended to my wife when she needed extra help with the baby and I was at work. I will continue to recommend her to friends and family, as she was such a good support system to us—especially as new parents. We still use her sporadically for her meal services also.

Words cannot express our gratitude for your actions throughout the entire endeavor of bringing our little girl into this world. From our first meeting to the last, and everything in between, you displayed unparalleled professionalism and commitment to our goals. Your performance helped give our family a healthy and strong start that will motivate us through the obstacles yet to come.

Though your role on the surface may have appeared to you as small in comparison to ours, make no mistake that your efforts were pivotal in making us feel relaxed and composed throughout the whole process.

There is no question that we would not, could not have had the same wonderful outcome without you.

Jodi was very supportive before, during and after my delivery. I was hoping to have a natural delivery without epidural, but I was afraid of the pain. Jodi provided lots of information on pain relief techniques. She also encouraged me to cope with the pain by saying pain is not suffering.

When I was in labor, she reminded me to focus on my breath and coped with one contraction each time.

At the hardest point when the pain peaked, she recognized the signs of pushing and called the doctors immediately before my family realized what was happening.

With the help of Jodi, I almost fulfilled my birth plan. She also visited me after I was discharged from the hospital and provided me with many postpartum recovery resources. I would recommend Jodi as a doula if you want a natural delivery with less medical help.
