Kira G: “I was unaware of the beautiful necessity a doula provides and will forever be grateful for finding and hiring Brittany.  Britt not only become my friend and my aid in preparing me physically and emotionally for my pre and postpartum journey, but she was there with us during my labor and birth.  I will be forever grateful for her presence.  She truly became a comfort zone for both my partner and me, nurturing, frien   dly, and loving.  She was professional and personal.  I knew she would be a safe space the minute I met her.  In our meetings together Brittany helped me create a birth plan along with preparing me for everything pregnancy and motherhood.  For my first pregnancy, the birth plan was one of the most helpful parts of her assistance.  With the knowledge of working with midwives, her schooling, and having two children of her own, she was able to help me prepare for all situations and discuss exactly how I wanted things to go - along with a second plan in case things didn’t work out. Britt came to our home for multiple meetings, checked in with me on a weekly basis, and more as my pregnancy progressed.  She had a wonderful library of books and resources for us to borrow and gave me a preparatory packet with helpful tips while pregnant, preparing for birth, and preparing to be a new family.  She also went over and demonstrated tips and tricks with different massage and breathing techniques which were invaluable in helping my partner and me. I chose the natural birthing center in town, Bloom, the same place Britt had used for both her girls.  This made it a really easy transition to have her become a part of some of our meetings, or discuss what the midwives had talked about.  She is someone I was able to put complete trust in.  On the off chance that something happened and I would be sent to a hospital, I trusted Britt to be my voice and make sure they followed through with my birth plan. During my labor, Britt was available at all moments.  She was not just assisting me but also my partner.  She checked in with us both every hour and came to our home once labor pains began increasing.  As I became more unable to talk or focus on anything but preparing for the different phases of labor, Britt helped my partner facilitate anything I needed and keep in contact with our midwives.  Making sure we headed to Bloom at the right time. When we arrived at the birth center Britt was prepared with her own bag of necessities to help make my time in active labor as comfortable as possible.  I may not have been in the same reality once labor started as what my partner, doula, and midwives experienced but what I will never forget is no matter where I was, there was a cup with water and a straw waiting for me, Britt calming touch on my back and her reassuring voice.   I will never forget her help during the transitional labor stage.  With my partner on one side, Britt held my other hand, quietly and calmly giving me the instructions my midwives were saying but I could not pay attention to them.  Along with instructions on what to physically do she kept providing me with the positive assurances I never knew I needed.  I believe this helped in making my first birth such a wonderful, magical, calm experience. After my son was born, Britt  helped make a print of the placenta, something I had put into my after-birth plan. I will forever cherish this beautiful piece of art. Brittany became more than just a doula.  She became a friend, a coach, someone who continues to reach out to me, and a plethora of resources for any questions or any time I want to reach out. I was blessed to have a beautiful and amazing childbirth experience.  Brittany helped make it feel more sacred, a more communal experience which is exactly what I wanted.”

Kiera W: “Brittany as my doula was such a special relationship. She is so nurturing and fun and was always available to answer any of my questions. She was so helpful in prepping me for my labor and delivery and even more helpful to have her calm presence solely focused on me when it was go time. I highly recommend a doula, but I cannot recommend Brittany enough!”
