Here are what others have had to say about Jessica, her courses, and what it's like to work with her
"If I had one gift of advice for soon-to-be-parents, I would tell them “TAKE THIS CLASS”! I was feeling nervous about the birthing process and what to expect, and Jess did a phenomenal job of putting my mind at ease. The course started from the basics – what to expect from your body and what changes you will go through, as well as things you can do ahead of time to prepare. Then we got into the details - and oh man - I had no idea there was so much to know! Our bodies are truly incredible gifts and just knowing all the things that it has to go through to grow and then deliver a beautiful baby, just makes me appreciate it all the more.
Jess was thorough and, during the call, she gave me the attention and time I needed to feel comfortable with the information provided. Everything she taught came in very handy when it was time to give birth to our daughter. Our nurses were so impressed with the information I knew! I cannot praise this woman enough and I highly recommend her birthing class!."

"Jess’s labor course was just what we needed to calm our nerves! As first time parents, my husband and I had taken a couple online classes but felt we were still missing some of the high points about labor and what to expect before, during and after. Let’s just say, we still had a lot of questions!
Both my husband and I walked away feeling so much more at ease about the process and more importantly, informed on what to expect. We felt she gave us key information (the good and the bad, which I truly appreciated) to feel confident during labor and knowledgeable as to what was going on. From pain management options, how to push effectively, what to expect during the first minutes and hours with your new baby, and so much more - I definitely felt way more confident as a first time mom after our session with Jess. I was able to recall and use so much of what she taught us and the entire session was enjoyable, intimate & informative! I'd highly highly recommend her to any new mama & partner"

"I am so grateful we took Jess’s birthing course, it helped give me the birthing experience I wanted. My husband and I had taken a course through our hospital and left feeling completely unfulfilled. It was generic, impersonal and left me feeling anxious about wanting an unmedicated birth. We could not have had a better experience than with Jess. Her course was so thorough and felt customized to us. She went over a wealth of topics, diving deep into what we were most interested about but not skipping on alternatives to our plan. She listened to our questions and created a conversation between us, not a lecture. It was a joy to hear her share her years of experience and genuine passion for empowering women to have the birthing experience they want. I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Jess and I highly recommend her course if you’re looking for a compassionate teacher who focuses on encouraging and celebrating the journey you want."

"Your presence at Nova’s birth was paramount. Truly truly I could not have done it without you. Words cannot even begin to express the deep gratitude and love I have for you and the many ways you showed up for us. Not only did I feel such a kindred momma spirit in you but you went so far and above and beyond to show up for us. Way above the call of duty and I’m forever grateful. It makes me tear up just thinking about it. You are a unicorn of a human! I am so grateful for the birth story I have as it gave me the worlds most amazing little super nova. It was always part of the universe's plan to bring her into the world that way. Thank you for being so deeply imbedded in that story."

"Jess is very down to earth and has a calm energy about her. She is extremely knowledgeable and we felt the information was thorough and well delivered. She made us feel comfortable asking anything during our call. After her birth prep, I definitely felt like I had the ability to advocate for myself safely during the birth of our son. I really liked her positive approach and she helped me shift my perspective on what birth could be like. I feel like I went into it with an attitude of confidence rather than that of fear, which I had previously felt. We can't say enough about Jess and her courses. We are so thankful and truly feel our experience was as great as it was because of what we learned from her. My husband and I also highly recommend the postpartum course. It's such valuable information that we didn't even know we needed. It made for a much smoother transition to parenthood for us."

"Jess is an amazing support person for women. I know her in the context of her role as a labor and delivery nurse. She is empathic, intuitive and so knowledgeable. I found Jess's presence so reassuring and empowering, as she helped me to understand what my body was going through and encouraged me to trust the process. She is a delightful and helpful companion to pregnant women. Jess encourages a connection between body, mind, and spirit. Those who get to work with her during their pregnancy journey are very lucky!"

""After taking Jess's courses, I felt so much more prepared as a husband to support my wife during labor. The labor course showed us different positions that proved to be very useful for my wife to cope with contractions. It also gave me some guidance on things I could do to be helpful in a time I essentially felt helpless. She made me feel confident that I could be a good partner and also play a role in the birth of our baby. Her postpartum class was also really helpful in learning how to care for our baby. We felt so clueless and it gave us useful tips and tricks that made us feel more at ease in those first weeks and months. I'd definitely recommend for the partners out there to take the classes with their wives. We had a great experience doing it that way."

"We can't thank you enough for being so fabulous. You made a huge difference in our experience. Your calm, warm, compassionate manner made me instantly feel safe, confident and empowered. I will forever be grateful that someone as kind and awesome as you was part of our birth story. Thank you & don't forget how many lives you touch in such a meaningful and memorable way."
