Amazing!

A fabric womb made by Angélique du Coudray, a French midwife who was commissioned by King Louis XV to reduce infant mortality. From 1760 to 1783, she traveled all over France, visiting poor rural women and sharing her extensive knowledge with them. It is estimated that she trained some 10,000 women.
Du Coudray also invented the first lifesize obstetrical mannequin, for practicing mock births, and published a well-received midwifery textbook

Lovely words from a lovely person. Such an honor to support this birth.

Jesse's calm but strong presence helped make my birthing experience positive, empowering, and transformative . From my first intense contraction to my last glorious push, Jesse guided me in finding a rhythm and ritual that gave me the mental fortitude and physical comfort to make the contractions feel bearable and purposeful. Jesse helped to make the contractions physically easier by using counter pressure on my low back and hips. (Which felt amazing!) She also repeated positive affirmations and encouragement throughout the birth. I appreciated how she guided my husband into a participatory support role while making him feel more at ease in the midst of my child birthing intensity! I wholeheartedly recommend Jesse to enhance your birth experience. It is such an important day in your life, why not invest in something that will surely make it better!? After my son was born my husband said 'everyone needs a doula!' I can't agree more! Thanks Jesse for everything!
