  • “ The best decision we made to prepare for the birth of our son was hiring Terra Birthing, Jacqulnn our doula. Jacqulnn was extremely, friendly, and kind and always prompt to respond to all our communication. The prenatal education classes made us feel well prepared to welcome and care for our precious son when he arrived. I had a long labor and challenging delivery, and I don't know what I would have done without Jacqulnn by my side. During birth, Jacqulnn was right there to offer support and advice when I needed it and was a source of comfort and inspiration when I felt I could not keep going. I highly recommend the experience and Terra Birthing to anyone preparing for a baby.”

  • “I can not say enough amazing things about Terra! If you’re even slightly hesitant about getting a doula, please don’t be! Jaqy exceeded my expectations, and I am so glad I chose her as my doula. From the prenatal support, through my labor, and even postpartum, she’s been beyond supportive, caring and loving, and I would highly recommend Jaqy to anyone who is expecting! The love that she provides to her mamas is just out of true compassion for her craft and empathy that she feels when she’s there for you. She was there for me when I needed someone the most, and that is the type of support that is irreplaceable. Don’t know what I would have done without her by my side through out all of this. You’ll know you need her when you meet her!”

Between navigating the healthcare system and helping me decide what kind of provider was right for me, offering a plethora of resources, and giving unwavering support, I couldn’t recommend her services more.

  • Having Jaquylnn as my Doula was the best thing we did for our birthing process, especially as new parents. She taught us so much and gave me the tools and education to make informed decisions and not be afraid to advocate for myself in the hospital. Some of my doctors were very intimidating, but with her by my side I felt so empowered. She show up for me emotionally when I was scared and gave me strength when I was exhausted. Her knowledge and professionalism was unmatched, she knew exactly what to say and how to work with my hospital team to give me the best outcome. I had the most beautiful and present birth and I credit Jaquylnn and Terra Birthing for that.“

  • “ I had the most magical birthing experience I could have ever hoped for and Jaqulynn helped me feel prepared and informed. My partner and I were nervous about giving birth in a hospital setting and the influence of doctors and she helped us feel confident about going into our birth by being educated on our rights and everything that can occur. She also helped us with different positions for him to support me through the pregnancy and labor. I would have had no idea how to prepare for postpartum if it wasn’t for her tips and tricks that have been so useful. I am very grateful for all the knowledge she has passed on to us and the feeling of empowerment in my experience.”

  • “ We were so grateful to have found Terra Birthing for our pregnancy. From the second we had our first meeting with Jaqulynn, the positive energy and comforting vibe was the perfect match for us. Jaqulynn was with us every step of the way; guiding us with her knowledge and experience. Her presence during our labor was helpful not only for me (mom) but also for dad! Would choose her for future births!”

  • "We give Terra Birthing our highest recommendation. Jaqulynn was an incredible support during my natural birth, not only offering her expertise at every turn, but by serving as a fierce advocate for me, my husband, and our baby in the birthing room. She interfaced and worked seamlessly with the medical staff, protecting us and ensuring our birth plan went exactly how we mapped it out together! Jaqulynn was present throughout the entirety of my long labor, guiding me with calm reassurance, and helping us navigate decisions confidently. Leading up to the birth, we took her birthing classes, which were invaluable in preparing us mentally and physically for the big day! Her knowledge and care as an educator empowered me to learn more about my body and trust the natural process. Dad even enjoyed learning, too! We are so glad we chose Terra Birthing-- thanks to her, I felt supported, informed, and truly cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this journey!"

“Birth Matters... It matters because it is the way we all begin our lives outside of our source, our mother's bodies. It's the means from which we enter and feel our first impression of the wider world. For each mother, it is an event that shakes and shapes her to her innermost core. Women's perceptions about their bodies and their babies' capabilities will be deeply influenced by the care they receive around the time of birth.”
