Autumn
I am grateful beyond words to have been in Jessica’s care while I was post-partum. She felt like a mom to me throughout the experience.
I was unable to have a doula present during delivery due to restrictions at the time; however, I soon learned that doulas can be largely beneficial in ANY portion of your journey into motherhood. Having that extra care post-partum made a world of a difference us.
For the first couple weeks I was basically chair & bed bound. I was unable to bounce my baby, and had to depend on my husband for everything from getting me a drink of water to caring for our other child & keeping up with household chores. As a mom this was no easy feat. Sitting in my chair day in and day out took a toll on my mind and body. I longed to be walking around the house cradling my newborn and caring for our family in the way I usually could. For the Dad… it wasn’t easy to juggle all the things that come so naturally for a mom and watch his wife struggle physically and mentally.
Jessica was full of tips, words of encouragement and whole-heartedly willing to help in any way we needed. Her visits, massages, nutritious meals and snacks, and care (can we say vital?) left me feeling rejuvenated and empowered and gave my husband a restful break and renewed hope.
Despite my challenging recovery, Jessica brought a positive and peaceful energy. She helped me accept the changes my body was undergoing and embrace my emotions so that I could begin to heal. Jessica reminded me of my worthiness and helped me to better take care of myself so that I could soon do what I love - take care of my husband and my babies.
Jessica has a huge heart and is willing to be involved as much or as little as you like. She gives you the reigns and provides love-filled professional support to you and your family during the vulnerable process.
In a way I felt pampered - her care left such a positive light on my initially very overwhelming and painful experience.
The birthing process & recovery is a big job. Having Mama Mae at your side will help ease the burden and encourage a healthy recovery - giving you more strength and energy to nourish that invaluable bond with your newborn baby and family. ❤️
