Jacqui was such a gift to us during the birth of our daughter!  She was a source of great support right from the first time we met with her.   She was honest and non judgmental – she took the time to meet our family and to understand what we hoped the delivery would be.  She kept in touch with me throughout the pregnancy and regularly checked in those last few weeks before the baby was due.   But, Jacqui’s gift was really evident during labor and delivery.  Jacqui was an ever present, strong, yet quiet source of support and strength during the process.  She knew when to offer words of encouragement.  She helped guide me through some of the hypnobirthing techniques we studied.  She knew when to offer comfort measures and when to stand back.  And, as if helping me through the process of natural child birth wasn’t enough –s he got some great first pictures of our baby!  We feel so fortunate that Jacqui was a part of our daughter’s birth.
