We had a homebirth for our first born and we are SO glad and grateful to have Brooke as our doula! Brooke was very knowledgeable, articulate, resourceful, and supportive. Brooke's calming presence and suggestions on position changes helped us to stay calm and helped me to progress in labor. For a first time mom, my labor was so quick (only 9.5 hours!) that Brooke ended up having to catch my baby while I was on all fours since the midwives missed the birth! My baby was the first baby she caught, yet she was super calm and confident about it that I thought she catches baby all the time.

One thing my husband and I really loved was the Spinning Babies stretches and Miles circuit that Brooke taught us. We thought that they really helped position our baby into her optimum position.

Towards the end of my pregnancy and birth journey, Brooke was more of a sister figure than a doula to me, so it was bittersweet to say goodbye :)

I'd totally recommend Brooke to anyone who is expecting!

It wasn't until late in my pregnancy, as my due date was approaching, that I learned the benefits of working with a doula. My self confidence was low and finding a doula seemed like a great way to build the support I needed. We found Brooke through doulamatch and I couldn't be more happy with our experience. She is a great resource for not only labor and birth, but prenatal and postpartum. Brooke supported our decisions throughout the process and made me feel empowered and confident. She was able to work with my care team during labor to avoid an emergency C-section, something I know I wouldn't have been able to do without her. She will always be a part of our daughter's story and I would recommend her services to anyone. Her presence was truly a gift.

Brooke was an amazing addition to our birth team.  She took the time to sit down with us before the birth to go over our wishes and birth plan, and she helped guide us with any questions or concerns we had as first time parents.  She was there for the entire delivery process to be a help for both my husband and I.  She knew what I needed without having to ask, and she helped my husband find ways to help even when he felt helpless.  We were so grateful to have Brooke with us for the delivery of our son, and we would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a doula.
