The Happy Mama Place

"Jessica was the best doula in the world. If I choose to have any more children she will be there for every birth. She helped with my fear of child birth and helped guide to me advocate for myself for what I wanted in my birth plan. If it was not for hee support and guidance it could have been a whole different experience. If you are unsure if the money is worth it, I am here to tell you it is! 100% especially for first time mothers. She is hands down the best."

"Jess is truly a Godsend! If you're looking for a doula, do yourself the favor and look no further. Jess is the doula you want by your side. My husband was on the fence about the doula, but after taking some educational birth classes, which I highly recommend Blossoming Bellies in Philadelphia, my husband was on board with getting a doula. I knew that I wanted someone who had a trainer like style and would give me nudges I needed when things got tough. Jess was that and so much more for me. From the moment I sent her that initial inquiry email, until I came home from having my son she's kept in contact with me. Jess gave me tips to start doing even during our first conversation, she's always got tips and tricks for everything. Then from moment my water broke, until they gave her my placenta to take and my son latched, she stayed by my side. Even though we live two hours away from her and giving birth in Princeton New Jersey, she stayed in constant contact and came to our home at the perfect time. When we arrived at the hospital, Jess was my voice when I was in my zone and couldn't respond to what was happening around me. I had a birth plan, but still things were offered to me that she knew I didn't want and she was firm when reminding the staff around me about my wishes. Jess is like the big sister/friend/professional I knew I wanted, but didn't realize how much I needed her. My wish is that more women going through their pregnancy and birth can have a positive experience like mine and have Jess or a doula like Jess by their side. I will forever be grateful to Jess for all of her support. My family and I are all so grateful for her. I love you Jess, you truly are the best!"

"I have been seeing Jessica at the Happy Mama Place for about 8 months now and I wish I found her sooner! I started seeing her when I was in my 2nd trimester. I have a lot of back & hip problems which worsened with pregnancy and the only relief I was able to find for pubic symphasis dysfunction was from her prenatal massage. She really takes time to connect and always knows exactly what your body needs! Now postpartum, we are able to do even more through massage and tackle so many of my aches & pains from having a newborn at home. I will continue to see her for maintenance as well as acute pain management. Her business is also extremely professional & clean. Can't recommend her enough!"

"Jess is amazing! Her prenatal massages were so helpful in addition to regular chiropractic care during my pregnancy. I choose to take the hypnobirthing classes and found them so informative, especially the session about labor positions. At the end of my pregnancy I had a lot of Braxton hicks and a round of false labor, Jess was always available and helpful in recentering me back to the relaxation techniques from hypnobirthing. I could write so much more! I wish everyone could have a Jess involved in their pregnancies and labor/deliveries!"

"I had a great experience with Jessica at The Happy Mama Place. I went to her at 34 weeks pregnant with my 4th child and experiencing pelvic pain. I regularly see a chiropractor who gave me some relief earlier in the week, but was still extremely uncomfortable when I arrived for a prenatal massage. Jessica was very thorough in asking me about my symptoms and body. She listened to me, offered great advice, and worked the areas that were in pain to provide relief. She is knowledgeable and professional. The facility was clean and comforting and I left feeling less pain and more relaxed. Looking forward to my follow-up appointment today!"
