Jaci has been my postpartum doula since October 2022. She came to me as a referral from my birth doula who had heard good things about Jaci from another doula who's client had PPD/PPA. When I called her asking for overnight help I was deep in the throes of PPD to the point of suicidal ideation. Our first phone consultation I answered crying and she took it in stride, eased my anxiety, and insisted she come over that night to ensure my husband and I got some rest. Unfortunately my PPD worsened and she didn't hesitate to take on 4x/week of overnight help as I was shortly after hospitalized. My husband and father ended up taking care of my 3 week old son during my hospitalization, and after some cheeky comments about how "We don't need a night nanny to help, your Mom did this herself with you!" My father turned a new leaf after only 1 night with Jaci in our home. As he said, "The second she walked in that door, I knew she would take good care of your baby".

It is now January 2023 and Jaci is still doing overnights for us as my son transitions out of the swaddle. She helped him eventually sleep through the night. We even had her spend a week or two in our home during the day to help sleep train our son. Jaci is on her way to a sleep consultation certification and in a short week helped our son (and me) get his naps under control. During the time she also gave me the time and space to adjust dosages of my medication I am taking for my PPD. It was a huge help to know that I had her there during the day to rest while I eventually figured out my perfect dosage.

At this point, Jaci is family. She has literally met all of my family, watched my son grow up, and spent many hours almost as my therapist as I tackled becoming a new mother. I know for a fact that she prays for me and my family regularly and simply can't recommend her enough as a doula.

Attending Cara’s childbirth education class was an enlightening experience that left me and my husband feeling empowered and confident about the journey ahead! Cara has lots of expertise that was so apparent as she navigated through the information of pregnancy and childbirth, equipping us with knowledge and encouraging us along the way.

The class covered a comprehensive array of topics and informed us of various comfort measures for labor. The approach was not only informative but also deeply reassuring, creating an environment where questions were welcomed and concerns were addressed with empathy and understanding. What set Cara’s class apart was her ability to instill confidence in each participant. Through practical tips, expert advice, and real-life acting (yes she mimicked what active labor would look like!) she enabled us to approach delivery with a newfound sense of assurance.

Coming out of Cara’s class we had a newfound sense of confidence in ourselves and the journey ahead. I am grateful for the knowledge and support she provided, making what could have been a daunting experience feel so much more manageable. It’s a must-attend class for anyone embarking on the beautiful journey of parenthood!

After doing some research during my pregnancy I decided I wanted a doula. I had read that research showed that outcomes were better for moms that used a doula. Jaci reached out to me and after a quick video chat, I knew she was the right fit. Jaci is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She provided exactly the support I needed. She also has a backup doula should something happen and she isn't available. When I had questions, she was only a text away. She didn't try to persuade me to do things that I wasn't interested in, but she made sure I had all the information necessary to make an informed decision. We had two in-person meetings before the baby arrived. During each, she showered my husband and me with her wealth of knowledge. I loved that she made sure to include him in the process. We set up a flexible birth plan but still highlighted a lower intervention route when possible. On the day I went into labor, Jaci was a rock. I labored at home until it was time to go to the hospital with Jaci making it as comfortable as she could. She performed so many hip squeezes and rebozo moves. She helped alleviate some of my nausea with essential oils and ensured I ate when possible. Upon arrival at the hospital, Jaci made sure the doctors and nurses knew our preferences and made sure my voice was heard. Ultimately, I did receive an epidural, but through the rest of the process, Jaci provided support to myself and my husband who appreciated her guidance. She stayed with us for over 12 hours at home and in the hospital. She truly made my first birth experience as comfortable as possible. I'm so appreciative of her knowledge and expertise. With Jaci's support, my husband and I welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world.

Cara’s birthing class was so amazing and so informational for my husband and I! Highly recommend if you want to feel empowered for your birth!

Last September (2023), Cara George helped me by taking my placenta and making it into pill capsules I could take over the course of the first few weeks of my postpartum. She was incredibly easy to get in touch with and came over at a convenient time for me the day after I gave birth.

Cara went above and beyond in asking if I wanted artwork made from the placenta, which is beautiful because I now have a picture of the organ that sustained my baby for 9 months. With my first child (2021), I did not know this service existed and I am so grateful to Cara for providing this service, as I believe taking the placenta capsules helped me regulate my hormones and helped me feel better faster than I would have without it. 5 out 5 stars!

Having Jaci as our doula was hands down the best decision we could have made. My only regret was not hiring her earlier in my pregnancy! She has the sweetest, calming presence, and knew exactly what to say and do through the birth of my little guy. She answered all of my questions with patience and grace, and so much knowledge. And by the off chance she didn't know the answer, she was so quick to help research answers for us. She was a blessing to have, and made me feel so much more comfortable and confident during my brith. And being able to depend on her for post-partum questions was a life saver. I hope to hire her for any and all future pregnancies!

Thank you Jaci!

I loved getting to know Jaci and felt very comfortable having her in my birth space. I was planning to have a VBAC but due to placenta previa, that was not the way things turned out. Jaci walked with me through grieving that diagnosis and making plans for a RSC. Baby girl made a surprise appearance on Mother's Day and Jaci made it to the hospital with very little notice when my placenta abrupted and I was rushed in for an emergency cesarean. Dad was able to go with baby to the NICU while Jaci met me in post-op. She kept me updated on baby (and dad updated on me) all night... and helped me though so much puking like it wasn't a big deal at all ?? It wasn't the labor support I imagined, but it was the post-delivery support I needed! I'm so thankful Jaci was with me on one of the toughest nights of my life.

Jaci was such a blessing during my first pregnancy/delivery experience! I was sure I wanted a doula in the dlivery room with me from the start, but finding the right match was a concern of mine. After speaking with Jaci on the phone, I knew she was the right fit. Jaci was so warm and welcoming, understanding of my concerns and happy and eager to ansewr ALL of my questions. She did extra research when it was necessary and consistently supported me as I got closer to labor. During labor, Jaci was so helpful and encouraging, which was exactly what my husband and I needed. She wasn't overbearing, but stood up for me and my birth plan. She also helped me with pain techniques and was crucial in the delivery process, as she helped my husband support my legs and talked me through contractions. I couldn't recommend Jaci more!

Working with Jaci as my postpartum doula has been an awesome experience. She is always at the door with a smile on her face and ready to help in whatever way needed. She is professional and really cares about her clients. I feel lucky to have found her and grateful for how she takes care of my baby and toddler. You won't regret hiring her to help you!

Jaci has been such a blessing to our family during the post-partum period. We sought out night nanny care for our newborn to provide a couple of days of restful sleep each week. We were lucky to stumble upon her via a neighbor's recommendation, and she proved to be such a blessing to find.

She was professional, on-time, and was great with our newborn. We had a set back with a hospital stay at almost 4 weeks which resulted in major reflux issues brought on by the antibiotics.... our easy baby was suddenly a fussy mess. She handled those rough nights with Grace and reassured me that she would not abandon ship (which was my fear). She provided great infant care to my baby and her presence was such a great support to us during these tougher infant days when I was running on empty and anxiety. I would highly recommend her to any family with a newborn!

My experience with Jaci was absolutely wonderful. She provided much information that helped us along our journey to be confident in labor and delivery. Although Jaci wasn't able to be there in the labor and delivery room due to Covid restrictions she brought me oils and coloring books and things to do while there. She gave me confidence the whole time and I knew that I could do it because of her kind words & information she gave me leading up to labor. She will never be a stranger and you'll never be a stranger to her she loves deeply, is kind and always makes time to be there just for you.

After having 4 babies in a hospital, I was nervous to go with a birth center and go fully natural. With it being my final pregnancy though, I really wanted to try to just have as relaxed and natural a birth as possible. My contractions started up really fast and were right in my back the entire time. Jaci kept pressure on my back helping give me so much relief through the contractions and I was able to push through a very fast and aggressive labor. She did amazing at keeping me calm and adjusting to help me deal with pain. I'll definitely be recommending her to my momma friends!

Jaci is an amazing postpartum doula! She was wonderful with our newborn baby girl during overnights and was a huge blessing because she allowed me to get some much-needed sleep when my husband was traveling for work. I felt very safe having Jaci in my home and she did a great job of keeping baby-girl fed, burped, and loved while I slept. She keeps track of feedings, diaper-changes, and sleep. I highly recommend her for anyone needing help with their babies!

Jaci has helped me with all three of my babies. She was there for the birth of my first baby 4 years ago and was a constant support through the very long 36 hour process. Always keeping things positive and calm. She has been an incredible help from labor all the way through postpartum support and establishing a sleep schedule for baby.

She was with me via phone, FaceTime and text for my second and third babies. She  suggested different positions/exercises that helped me with the pain and with dilating progression. She even found videos of the position/exercises to send me which made it easier for me to understand how to properly do them. While my nurses and doctor were amazing, they didn’t seem to have (or at least didn’t offer) any options or suggestions on how to help things along more naturally. 

 Jaci is an amazing support person, she has a deep passion for helping mama’s and daddies enjoy the experience. 

She is ready to step in and help in anyway she can, as a support during labor and delivery, helping postpartum, or working on getting baby on a good schedule. She has been such a huge help in all of these areas and my family is so grateful for her!

My husband and I attended Cara George's childbirth education class. She is an excellent teacher. She provided so much helpful information to help us prepare for the birth of our first child. She gave practical tips and provided demonstrations of supportive measures for labor and birth. She has a calming presence and is great at connecting with class participants. I would highly recommend Cara!
