Jacquie Kesler Doula

I love babies and I love dogs. So cute!

Caution - may cause tears...

What other silly questions have you been asked about your twins? What quick responses have you been able to come up with?

Feeding frenzy! Mama robin is feeding her babies pretty much all day now. Sound familiar?

These little guys hatched this morning. They built a nest at my front door and I have been watching the mama robin as she built her nest, took 4 days to lay all 4 eggs and now watching her protect her babies.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads that I have had the pleasure of working with. I love to watch you fall in love with your babies and watch you love and care for your partner both during birth and after. Thank you for allowing me to witness those raw emotions❤️

I love working with families with twins and have been so fortunate to have worked with so many over the years❤️

Wondering how a birth doula can help you ? Evidence shows that having a birth doula is valuable! I have openings for birth and/or postpartum support.

Do you have baby/babies in NICU? Are you pregnant and know that you will be delivering very early and baby is likely to go to nicu? Bethany Galster has written an insightful post based on her own experience navigating Calgary NICU's.

Are you having trouble getting a deep latch? Laid back breastfeeding and allowing baby to lead the way may just be the answer.

"It’s not a once and for all thing, self-forgiveness. It’s more like a constant attitude. It’s just being hopeful. It’s refusing to hold your breath. It’s loving yourself enough to offer yourself a million more tries. It’s what we want our kids to do every day for their whole lives long, right?"

This made me laugh!

We hired Jacquie as a post partum doula after the birth of our first son. We interviewed a couple of doulas but liked Jacquie's calm demeanor and extensive experience as both a doula and lactation consultant. I strongly feel that Jacquie's knowledge and patience are why I've been successful with breastfeeding, and why my husband and I felt set up for success as new parents. She came armed with tools and techniques from breastfeeding to baby carrying to everything else. I would not hesitate to hire Jacquie again and strongly recommend her to anyone who feels apprehensive about taking their newborn home from the hospital. I thoroughly enjoyed having Jacquie's help, and my son loved cuddling up to her so I could have a bit of me time!
