“The Doula College always provides JCPRP with the highest level of service and support. Families give incredible feedback about the expertise and experience of the doulas and how comfortable they feel having them in their home. The calmness, professionalism and level of service we received from the Doula College in relation to a recent matter was unparalleled. Deb and her team are exceedingly professional, flexible and willing to go the extra mile for clients and families. Thank you Deb and team for always supporting our work.”
