Jodi Koumouitzes, Doula

Review for postpartum services:
Jodi is such an amazing lady and such a workhorse! Besides the warm, tender love she exudes, she also has an impeccable work ethic, with a touch of OCD (which is great for when she’s cleaning up after you!)… an example of what she would do for us: on many occasions she’d come over and listen to me rant about how my life was over, help me breastfeed when I was struggling, take the baby, let me (and my husband) nap, clean the house, cook a meal, and give me a mini massage… all in a 4 hr session! I literally woke up one time to her breaking down all those annoying amazon boxes that pile up and never get put into the recycling bin. She’d wipe up all the breastmilk spots all over the hardwood floor (sorry TMI) that I could never keep up with because I was a milk spraying machine for so long… it was pointless, but she knows I love a clean floor. She’s the type of person that brings work home too; she would always come back for another session with more suggestions and research about something I was struggling with. She cares so much and it really comes through in her work.
And we couldn’t have done it without her… literally. We don’t have a ton of family or available friends in town to help and it was really nice to be able to rely on someone during my tougher postpartum days. She also does birth doula work, and we are considering hiring her for that for baby #2, who’s on the way! She’s already contracted for our postpartum time… You can’t get much better than Jodi!

We met Jodi towards the end of my pregnancy and felt an instant connection with her. She is warm, caring and knowledgeable, answering all of our first time parent questions. She was always available and checked in to see how we were doing.
During labor she was a calm and clear presence. She was attentive without being overbearing. She was willing to step in and mediate with family and medical staff. She always had our best interests in mind. She got me through the entire labour pain med free and kept me focused on the goals we had set for ourselves.
We could not have done it without her!!!
