  • "I have grown to love Joíní from the Resting Garden. She's now Aunty Joíní to our little boy. My husband and I were undecided as to whether or not we should spend money for a doula, after all we have each other so how bad could it be. I can just tell my husband my wishes and he could tell the Nurses when I'm unable to (being in labor etc..). Then my due date started creeping up on us and I was constantly doing research on black maternal deaths.... She told us things we weren't hearing from my OBGYN. She was there when I texted, she was there when I called, she IS that support person you need, she provided a safe judgment-free zone and she was patient with me. Joíní kept us on track and reminded us what we said we wanted, because that's what I ASKED her to do. She is the type of doula who works with you and does things according to how you want them done, while providing her expert tips. I'm happy she was there, looking back my delivery did not go as planned but Joíní fought every step of the way to make sure we were well informed about everything that was happening. The Nurses respected her and she respected them. It made everything that much easier."

  • "It was a joy working with Joíní for my placenta encapsulation. She met us at the hospital to pick up my placenta and I had the pills in just 4 days. She also made for us the most beautiful placenta art; it brought us to tears. She was very informative regarding the dosage and usage, and checked in on me regularly to see how I was feeling. I highly recommend working with Joíní! Thanks again!"

  • "I contacted Joíní to be my doula for my second pregnancy. I had contacted a few doulas prior to speaking with her, but after speaking with Joíní I knew she was the one I wanted to work with. Joíní really listened to me and adapted her techniques as needed. Working with Joíní, I gained the confidence I needed to have a successful VBAC. She educated my husband and I throughout the entire process. She modified exercises as my pregnancy progressed and my body changed and encouraged me throughout pregnancy and delivery. Opening up to Joíní about my previous pregnancy and the obstacles I experienced really helped me to be able to focus on this pregnancy and my VBAC goal. She supported and advocated for me, which was what I really needed in the hospital environment. My husband and I are so grateful for her service and support during the birthing process."
