"I selected a doula quite late in my pregnancy, but I'm glad I made that decision! Jerika was very helpful and calming, before but especially during my birthing experience. My baby came out fast and furious and Jerika stayed calm and soothing despite how chaotic everything was. She also stayed much longer than she needed to after my daughter was born, because I had experienced a lot of blood loss and she wanted to make sure I was okay. Throughout the whole thing, she provided my husband and me with tons of resources and info that helped us be more prepared for birth. I'll be going to her for my next pregnancy if she's available! I loved my experience. I would have had a much harder time during labor if Jerika hadn't been there. I appreciate everything she did for us in the short time that we had her as our doula. Also, my doctor for the delivery (Dr. Deyerle) loved working with her!" - Lindsay
"I was a little later in my pregnancy when I sought out doula services but then I came across Jerika’s bio and something just clicked where I knew I’d want her support during this transformative time. She was always one text away from the support I needed providing me with evidence based information on any question I had. During our prenatal visit I love how she included my partner and helped him through some of his fear/confusion about the birthing process. When labor started my little one didn’t seem to be in the proper position so Jerika helped me for hours with different positions me and my partner could do which I think was key to me being able to manage labor at home as long as I did. Once at the hospital her calm presence was very appreciated. She gave me the space to labor on my own but instinctually knew when I needed a little more support. I’m so happy that I chose Jerika to be there for my birth!" - Briana
"Jerika was my birth doula and placenta encapsulation specialist. There aren’t enough words that I could use that would describe my experience, but Jerika was absolutely a blessing and an essential person to help bring our baby boy into the world. Her knowledge and support was amazing. Though this was not my first child, I still learned from her, I felt prepared, informed, and confident when it came to my pregnancy and birth. She was such an invaluable asset to my birthing team, gave me the support I needed postpartum, and continues to check in on our family. Jerika, you are meant for birth work. I cannot wait to watch your journey to becoming a midwife. You’re a great doula, and I’m so proud and lucky to have had you on my side! 🤍" - Arye
"Jerika instantly felt like a friend from the first time we met with her during our Doula interviews. Jerika has a very comforting and down-to-earth presence despite how crazy intelligent and talented she is. I was looking for someone encouraging and resourceful, and Jerika has been that and so much more. Jerika has provided a wealth of evidence-based information and taught me so much about pregnancy, birth preparation, infant care, postpartum, and being a first-time mom. Jerika has an incredible eye for detail and a compassionate heart for her clients, and is an amazing listener. Jerika checked in with us multiple times a week to offer a listening ear or helpful information pertaining to what we were currently learning. One thing special about Jerika is her emphasis on client content and comfort. Jerika ensures all her clients are informed, empowered, and in control of every service provided. Jerika always checked in with me to make sure I felt seen, safe, respected, and valued. With every interaction, Jerika ensured my comfort and built my confidence. Jerika gave me practical tips and perspectives on preparing for childbirth and I went into labor feeling capable, calm, and prepared with a wealth of useful tools and empowering information. Jerika, you are made for this line of work. I love how personable, kind, gentle, and crazy smart you are. I love how you genuinely care about each person you work with and customize your services for each of us. Carl wanted to share that he loved how you were so courteous and respectful. He felt like you worked far beyond your assigned duties to make us feel so valued and cared for. We can never thank you enough for your work with us. Four of the most helpful services Jerika provided were her thorough birth planning process, her continuous text/call availability, her inclusion of my partner, and her spinning babies knowledge. During the birth planning process, Jerika laid out detailed information about my options for various labor situations. This left me feeling equipped for any situation that might arise. Jerika was also always available via text throughout my pregnancy. This was an invaluable service. I asked so many questions that Jerika provided detailed information for me and my partner. Jerika made a point to check in with my partner and ensure he felt included and empowered alongside me. Lastly, Jerika’s knowledge and experience with spinning babies physiological movements helped me feel capable and confident in my body. Unlike typical healthcare providers who look at our body’s problems, Jerika took a wellness approach and helped me see my body as healthy and strong. This perspective allowed me to feel calm and confident when preparing and while in labor. Jerika helped me know my body and my baby were in good condition and perfectly built for birth." - Meredith
"I found Jerika through my midwife and I was super excited to go through the process of getting my placenta encapsulated. I was set to be induced but the hospital was struggling to get a bed for me. Jerika worked with my wishy-washy schedule and made me feel very comfortable. She was super helpful when it came to picking up placenta due to my transportation issues at the time . Her work was amazing. I loved my placenta prints, and I'd definitely recommend her to my friends and family." - Jasmine
