No hay palabras suficientes para describir nuestra experiencia con Brielle, comenzando con el gran ser humano que Ella es y la enorme experiencia que tiene como doula, nos brindo mucha informacion sobre las decisiones que debiamos tomar antes del nacimiento de nuestro bebe, todo el tiempo estuvo al pendiente y sobre todo lo que mas nos ayudo fue el hecho de que es bilingüe. Un angel que nos mando Dios para brindarnos tranquilidad y confianza en todo este proceso. Ampliamente recomendada.

Brielle.

Cómo comenzar a redactar la experiencia que tuvimos con ella; tal vez nos falten palabras para agradecerle lo mucho que nos ayudó a mi esposa, a nuestr bebé y a mi en este proceso, para nosotros es un ángel que, de no haberla conocido se nos hubieran complicado muchas cosas, nos ayudó demasiado el hecho que sea bilingüe (inglés/español), el gran carisma, la paciencia que la caracteriza y el amor con el que hace su trabajo es algo que desde luego nos hace reiterar nuestros sinceros agradecimientos y verdaderamente recomendarla con quien esté leyendo estas palabras.

La familia Valencia Rangel siempre la tendrá en su corazón!

Vivimos en compañía de mi esposo un momento único. El nacimiento de nuestra hija fue un momento memorable gracias a la compañía de Brielle, quien facilitó en todo sentido nuestra experiencia, me sentí preparada y tranquila gracias a las citas previas que tuvimos, durante el momento del parto nos ayudo a manejar la calma y el dolor con todo profesionalismo y paciencia, adicional nos ayudo como intérprete ya que mi esposo y yo solo hablamos español esto nos hizo sentir seguros, y para mi sorpresa tomó unas fotos bellísimas de todo nuestro proceso (parto), aprovecho este espacio para agradecer su compañía y ayuda.

Brielle is very professional and informed. I am so appreciative to have had her help during, leading up to and after labour. She listened to what I needed and wanted, presented facts and helped me make informed choices regarding my birth plan and the complications that came. I really didn't want a c-section birth and because of her coaching I could communicate with the doctors to explore other options confidently which led to a vaginal delivery ??!  I'm so glad to have had her by my side and would reccomend her to any expectant mama!

Brielle es una estupenda Doula. Tiene variedad de conocimientos de todos los diferentes temas relacionados al parto y/o cesárea así como también sobre todo lo relacionado al posparto. Es amorosa, atenta y amigable, ademas que muestra honesta empatía y preocupación por el bienestar tanto de la mamá como del bebé.

La recomiendo al 100%

Brielle is a fantastic doula. I had been reluctant about prioritizing having a doula, especially given Covid restrictions where she couldn’t be at the hospital for the delivery, but it was incredible to have her for birth preparation and labouring at home! In preparing for the birth, Brielle help my husband and I navigate our anxieties and become informed about the benefits and risks of various birth wishes. We were able to choose our preferences confidently and feel prepared for any necessary departures if medical emergencies were to arise. During my labour, I was amazed at how Brielle helped me to feel calm and confident through contractions in a way my other supports couldn’t. She helped my husband play an active role in the process and answered all of our questions, easing any worries. I’m so grateful for her impact on my first birth - she helped make it the empowering experience it was!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Brielle! She is such a kind, caring, considerate, and knowledgeable person. I personally had never heard of a doula until a friend recommended it to me while I was pregnant, and now I recommend it to everyone I know - specifically recommending Brielle! She checked on me constantly through my pregnancy, answered every single question and concern I had with ease and in a way that was easy to understand, she helped calm all of my anxieties, and was literally a lifesaver throughout the delivery. I don't think I could have done it without her. She's so great at working with you and making sure you know all of your options so you can make informed decisions, and has taught me so much since having my daughter as well. She even brought up so much important topics throughout my pregnancy that I never would have thought of if it wasn't for her. The fact that she is available 24/7 via text, email, phone call, or video chat was also so reassuring, even after the baby was born. She cares so much about her clients and it really shows. My entire birth experience was so incredible and I owe such a large portion of that to Brielle and her knowledge, expertise, and personality. If I have another baby in the future, hands down I know the first person I'll be calling. I can't recommend her enough!!!

Brielle was an extraordinary support system for me through out my pregnancy. From day 1 she has been a kindred spirit who understood the trials of this journey and helped me ease my mind. Her presence was strong and always confidently eloquent when we decided on what/how we wanted to approach this birth. We always felt that we were on the right path with her affirmations and she removed doubts and enhanced our confidence with the choices we made by providing evidence based support and knowledge from experience. She always had helpful suggestions and was incredibly generous with her efforts to make my pregnancy journey better and preparing me well for birth. She was there throughout all of the many questions I had and took her time to show my husband and I various methods and techniques on how to deal with various challenges (I had long prodormal labour period) to psychological support even as I had some challenges and apprehensions are with managing and speaking with the medical staff. She was there with me during some of the most challenging parts of my labour and was a source of comfort throughout my post partum with her nurture and care. Her calm, lovely, and empathetic spirit was one of the best memories of the pregnancy for me and I would recommend her for any mother needing a support system throughout their journey! :) Thank you for everything, Brielle! We adore you!

Brielle was an amazing doula for us! She really helped prep me and let me know what my options were before our delivery. When it came time for labor she was a great support for both me and my husband. She helps give us different options, talk us through things, and when things didn't go as planned she she especially helped my husband who is very worried. She continued to follow up with us after the birth of our baby and has helped us to adjust to this new chapter in our life. Brielle really helped and gave us confidence through this process.

As a first time mom,  I was very commited and set on a unmedicated home birth plan.  I knew that one of the most important ways of achiving that was to have the right support for me and my husband.  Brielle was the perfct addition to my team.  

Brielle was extreamly professional from the moment of our first meet-up.  She was supportive of my choices and I truly felt that she would be the best advocate for me.  

Prior to the birth she listened and asked questions about my wants and needs for the birth.  She was in contact with me weeks before it happened to check in and remind me that she was there if I needed anything.  

When I went into labor she was easy to contact in the middle of the night.   She came to my house prepared and ready for anything.  During my labor Brielle stayed with me the whole time and just gave me the support that I asked for verberlly and nonverbally.  She helped me physically by reliving hip pressure and she supported me mentally by brinig her positive energy to the space.  She was a huge help to my husband who was able to get a bit of sleep at the begining of the labor and while he set up our home for the birth. Upon my request, she took many amazing photos and video that I will always cherish.

After the birth and into postpardum, Brielle has been in touch and reached out to provided me with anything I need.  She has be able to anwer any quesions I had about the birth. 

If you are looking for a kind, caring, selfless Doula, Brielle would be a great addition to your birth and beyond team.   I highly reccomend Brielle.
