Words can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for Brandi. She was an amazing person to have supporting me throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. When intensity was increasing but dilation wasn’t progressing, she knew what suggestions to make to get baby where she needed to be to help me have the unmedicated water birth I wanted. Her presence alone was so calming and comforting and she advocated for me in a kind and respectful manner to the hospital staff when I wasn’t able to advocate for myself. She knew exactly what I needed even when I didn’t, making me comfortable and confident in my daughter’s birth. I’m truly so thankful for her and her knowledge and would recommend her to anyone that’s looking for a doula!

Rachel and Lisa were everything I could have asked for in a doula. 

I decided I wanted a doula only about a month before my due date. I contacted Rachel hoping she would be available and that she'd be a good match for me. In a week, her and Lisa (another doula she works with) arrived at my house and went over anything and everything. I felt SO comfortable chatting with both of them. They themselves are mothers and even grandmothers and have been a part of something like 400+ births for their clients. I was comforted in the fact that they were so experienced. 

When I finally went into labor, I contacted Lisa (Rachel was with another client). She helped coach me through a few contractions all while trying to gauge how far along my labor was. Pretty soon after, I decided it was time to go to the hospital where Lisa was going to meet me. If I didn't feel like my labor was progessing that fast, Lisa would have come to my house to labor with me. 

Once we were both at the hosptial, Lisa was the star of my show. She was there to serve me and boy did she! She offered suggestions on what positions I could take, she rubbed my back for the entirely of the 4 hours I pushed, she coached my husband on ways to help and brought me water. She offered so much encouragement and brought a sense of comfort to me in such a hectic time. 

After the delivery she stayed with us for a couple hours as we got settled. She also helped with my first nursing experience. 

I 1000% recommend Rachel and her team (esp. Lisa!) to assist you during your pregnancy and birth. I know I'll be in touch with them when we're ready for our 2nd child!
