Alexa was my doula and birth photographer for my recent birth. It was my first pregnancy and since I don't have familial support in the area other than my husband, I knew having a doula was going to be really important for navigating birth and the postpartum period.
First was the birth planning process and childbirth education- Alexa was very thorough and afterwards I felt way more prepared.
Then due to health issues at 37.5 weeks, I was induced in a hospital setting (my original plan was a natural birth center birth). The induction ended up taking several days, but Alexa was helpful and supportive throughout. And when we reached a stalled point where a c-section became recommended, she was invaluable in helping me think through the pros and cons of the decision.
Alexa has stayed in contact often throughout the postpartum period and has been helpful in answering any and all baby care questions I've had, as well as troubleshooting breastfeeding and getting me connected with a great lactation consultant.
Overall I highly recommend Jade Births as a talented and caring doula!
I used Alexa Jade Decker w/ Jade Births as my doula for the birth of my daughter! She is awesome! At the last hour I had to go from a birth center birth to the hospital and Alexa was a huge support and advocate for me at my daughters birth. She helped communicate with the doctor my birth plan and made sure they followed my wishes. She kept me calm while I labored naturally. Thanks Alexa! I would encourage anyone who wants support during their labor to reach out to her!

I decided I wanted a doula later into my pregnancy and I am so glad I had Alexa with me through my birth experience. My partner wasn't able to attend the birth so she was with me the whole time getting anything I needed and comforting me through labor and birth. Alexa shared her knowledge on things to help me before during and after baby comes. She definitely helped me have the birth experience I wanted to have and I would recommend her to anyone!
When I found out I was pregnant, I was ECSTATIC! Then I realized in order to bring him into this word, I had to go through childbirth, and my anxiety crept in. I quickly assembled my birthing team, including Alexa, who was a VITAL part in the entire process. Her prenatal visits were very educational and reassuring, helping me understand what to expect (or not expect) during childbirth and displaying her knowledge of techniques to successfully navigate an unmedicated birth. She truly listened to what I wanted! I told her, I wanted my husband to be the only person addressing me during labor to help mitigate stress causing situations by too many people trying to talk to me, unless he needed a break. Alexa was there at 5 a.m. bright eyed and so so supportive! Throughout my 10 hours of labor, Alexa was there jumping in when my husband needed breaks and advising him every step of the way. After labor I even asked my husband, "Did she really do anything?". He replied, "Jess she was so helpful, there's no way I could've done it without her". Which is exactly what I wanted!! She helped maintain a calm, quiet environment for my laboring and even helped recommend and advocate for certain things during the final steps of labor. We truly could not have had such an incredible birthing experience without her. She's very knowledgeable and truly cares what you desire from your birth! She will exceed all expectations and do it all with a smile (: I cannot recommend Alexa enough!!!
My pregnancy, birth, and post-partum experience would not have been such a postive experience without Alexa. Going into my 3rd birth, I had quite a bit of anxiety due to being in a new state, not knowing anyone, and past experiences. Alexa was always so comforting and reassuring. She helped me find resourses and provided me with so much information. Anytime I had concerns, questions, or just needed someone to talk to, she was there. Once I did go into labor, she provided such a comforting and relaxing enviroment with lighting. So much so, some of the hospital staff actually came to our room to see the it. When my epidural failed, Alexa advocated for me and helped with positioning and pain relief techniques to make it a positive experience. I truly do not think I would have good memories of my birth without Alexa. Even though she was up for more than 24 hrs, Alexa did not leave my side.
I truly can not recommend her enough.
I had a wonderful experience with Alexa as my doula; she offered amazing prenatal and postnatal support and education! My birth went much faster than anticipated, and Alexa helped me stay calm and focused in the chaos. She seemed to know exactly what I needed without speaking, providing support while firmly advocating for my birth decisions. Her presence greatly improved my birth experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Alexa was an essential part of our pregnancy, birthing team, and post-partum support. During our prenatal sessions, Alexa provided us resources and discussed helpful information that built upon the learning we received from other birthing classes as we prepare for labor and delivery. She walked us through creating a birthing plan which she referenced and communicated with our health care providers to ensure we received the care we wanted.
During this first pregnancy, Alexa was quick to arrive at our home when the contractions accelerated and offered techniques to ease the discomfort. She advocated for our needs and added her insight, professionalism, and care during the labor process.
Alexa would make a wonderful asset to anyone’s birthing team. We highly recommend her
