Maternal Instincts By Jill- Doula and Lactation Services

Jill helped me tremendously with my second baby. I felt so comfortable with her & I'm a very shy person usually but she is so sweet & calm I felt like I knew her my whole life! I loved how she educated me by telling me what my baby was doing just by watching her facial expressions. You can tell she has a lot of experience and I love her techniques. So gentle and loving which is exactly what we all want for our babies! She was quick to respond and checked in on me several times till we were on the mend! I highly recommend her!

Where do I begin? Jill was an answer to prayer during my early days postpartum. As early as when my baby was 3 years old, she gently held my hand as I went through the beautifully intense beginning stages of nursing. This postpartum was significantly less stressful because I could reach out to Jill (who got back to me so quickly) with questions, instead of going to Google. Her services were better than any other thing I got on my baby registry. Can’t recommend her enough!!!

Jill was so helpful to me when I was just 3 days postpartum and struggling with painful breastfeeding. She virtually attended a feeding session with me and gave me so many tips that absolutely saved my breastfeeding journey! I can’t recommend her enough!

Jill was such a blessing to work with! Not only was her coaching really great, but she was so attentive and made me feel heard through my struggles with breast feeding! She was so generous with her time as she was quick to respond and offer knowledge and resources to any questions and concerns I had with my little one. Thank you so much for your help! It was the support I needed to stick with breastfeeding a little longer until it got better! My little one and I have overcome so much with Jill’s support!

Im so thankful for Jill’s coaching and comforting advice. When I reached out for help I knew I was in good hands. Jill was professional, kind, helpful, and her humor and friendly demeanor immediately made me feel like I was talking with a friend. She knows new moms don’t always have lots of time and nursing isn’t always easy to talk about - but she helped us fix our problems in less than an hour! I still reach out to Jill with questions even 8 months into this journey and absolutely suggest you reach out too!

I can’t express enough how incredible Jill was throughout my natural childbirth experience. From the very beginning, she provided unwavering support, knowledge, and comfort. Her calming presence and gentle encouragement gave me the confidence I needed during each phase of labor. She was always attentive, anticipating my needs and offering guidance without ever being overbearing. Jill created a peaceful environment, allowing me to feel empowered and in control of my birth experience. She also assisted me in the weeks after with nursing and came to my home several times to assist with making sure me and baby were adjusting. She is absolutely amazing! Her dedication and care made all the difference, and I truly couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend Jill to anyone seeking an experienced, compassionate doula. She’s a true blessing!

Jill has been a lifesaver for me with my breastfeeding journey. I was anxious and nervous about nursing my second child because I didn't have a good experience with my first and ended up exclusively pumping for 7 months which I didn't want to do with my second. I wanted to nurse directly from the breast. Jill has been a refuge for me. She is very knowledgeable, kind, patient, and attentive. We did a video call where she watched me nurse and she knew what my baby was gonna do before even baby did it. She walked me through everything and helped me adjust. She is a nursing expert. She was so diligent at answering all my questions and concerns. I feel so much more confident when it comes to nursing my second baby and honestly this is possible only with Jill's help.

Jill has been awesome. I just gave birth to my second child and knew by the third day that I needed help - was having a lot of pain and it wasn't getting better. Jill and I set up a Zoom meeting for the next day and although I was a little skeptical that she would be able to help me via video call, she knew exactly what was happening by the questions she asked me and what she was seeing. She gave me suggestions and asked me for feedback with every adjustment, and provided me with a lot of information. A couple days later I was still having trouble on one side so she met with me again and reminded me of a couple things I had already forgotten and gave me some other adjustments to try. It's been another five days and I feel healed and no more pain. I understand that as my baby grows other issues may come up and I feel like Jill will be able to help me again should I need to reach out. I am so much more confident now about breastfeed - I never really figured it out with my first and ended up mostly hand expressing for a year. My second is doing awesome at it and I'm so pleased. Jill is knowledgeable, patient, kind, and her price is very reasonable. I am so glad to have her as a resource and thankful that she is doing this work!
