I’ve been blessed to help bring some amazing babies into this world.
Some of the kind words their parents shared with me are here.
Hiring Jimi to be our doula was the greatest decision we could’ve made for our growing family. Little did we know that we would be making a lifelong friend. We were so supported throughout pregnancy–she checks in frequently, provides comfort and support, and sends the best memes. More than just an amazing emotional support, she pulled from her wide range of experience to prepare us for the many possible complications and challenges of birth, by taking us through presentations she’d prepared, exercises to help us decide what kind of birth we wanted, and by regularly sending us articles and other resources to read. By the time of our birth, Jimi was solidified as more than just a doula—she was family. We would recommend her to everyone we love.

Best decision we ever made! In what was probably the longest labor in history, Jimi was the most incredible, supportive, and optimistic person through it all. From switching positions, breathing exercises, cracking small jokes, to little tid bits of information on things we didn’t understand, she made my entire pregnancy and birth one of the most memorable and joyful experiences of my life. We don’t know what we would’ve done without her.

Jimi is more than a doula. When I was looking into getting a doula, I was just looking for someone to help me give birth but in the process I felt I have gained a friend. She taught me so much and helped me have the most perfect birth! She advocated my wishes. When things didn’t go as planned she explained everything to me. The hospital staff was hyperaware of my wishes and asked for consent before they did anything. When I wanted to give up she said all the right things and didn’t let me give up on myself. She is very responsive to my messages even after I gave birth. She is a very supportive and empathetic person. 10/10 recommend.

I was trying for a VBAC and Jimi has much experience in this area. She was supportive of every decision we made and just “there” for us. My husband felt comfortable with her and we were both thankful she was there for me to reach out to the last weeks of pregnancy (which can be stressful) and also the many hours of labor. She helped me with pain, anxiety, exhaustion… and all the other emotions you feel. Never felt pushy, always responsive and very very knowledgeable. My doctor and nurses were happy I had her support as well. She’s the best.

I can’t recommend Jimi enough. She was an absolute blessing through my entire pregnancy, it was a huge comfort knowing I could text or call her with any question or concern I had. She met me at the er and sat with me the whole time I was there for tachycardia. She was a tremendous help and support during labor, I don’t think it would have gone nearly as smoothly or quickly if it weren’t for her reminding me to breathe and encouraging me the whole way. I am eternally grateful to have had her by my side through my entire journey ❤️

Jimi was unbelievably valuable. She put together a pain management program for Katie that worked wonders. I cannot IMAGINE going through a pretty rough labor and delivery without her. If your partner is AT ALL worried about the pregnancy process, GET A DOULA!
Evan, Louisville
Jimi went above and beyond to prepare me for my labor experience. and she never once left me when I needed her. What I valued the most was her unfailing support before, during, and after my baby was born. She was one of my biggest supporters, and definitely my most informed, fierce advocate!
Lori, Frankfort
Our birth did not go as planned, starting with an induction that led to hours of intense laboring. Every step of the way, Jimi’s presence made a world of difference through some of the toughest hours of my life. Jimi felt like family from the first time we talked, and if we find ourselves expecting again we will not hesitate to work with her.
Sydney, Winchester
Being a new parent was scary, and watching my wife bring my son into the world was scarier. I felt helpless. Jimi empowered me to be present. I was able to be a greater support to my wife in those hours because of Jimi and her coaching, and I’m thankful every day for it.
Lars, Frankfort
Jimi was an amazing doula and continues to support me through lactation counseling. She goes above and beyond her profession duties with caring touches. And maybe most importantly, she offers care that is free of judgement. She has been a vital support in the birth of my daughter, and also my growth as a mother.
Virginia, Louisville
Jimi was a huge source of encouragement to Mike and me! She was always reminding me that I can do this, that she believes in me. Even in the most intense moments, when I was doubting myself, she never wavered in her trust in my abilities to birth my son.
