“Kari was an invaluable part of my labor and delivery experience! I had an induced, 26 hour labor and thanks to Kari’s diligence and attention to my needs I was able to have a medication free delivery! My husband was my rock, but having Kari there to help me push through was exactly what I needed! It was also a joy to work with her again when it came time to nurse my twins as a lactation consultant!”

“There are so many reasons I recommend Journey Well! After a less than stellar experience with my second child’s birth, I was nervous and wanted an experienced advocate in the delivery room with us for my third baby. From day one, Bobbie gave me peace of mind–she was not only reassuring and informative, but also made me feel empowered for another labor and delivery and all they entail. During prenatal visits, she helped me determine what my goals and hopes were so that the actual birth experience was as close to my ideal as it could be. And it was! I felt much more confident in dealing with hospital staff, and much more supported because she was there. My husband and I both felt that Bobbie was indispensable during the birth with her encouragement and calming presence, and her counter pressure techniques that provided a lot of pain relief during hard labor. Journey Well gave me the ability to actually enjoy the experience of my son’s birth and I’m so grateful!”
