Bri was my doula for my fourth birth, and I can seriously not recommend her enough! When I decided to have a home birth, I knew I wanted a doula who would be hands on and have a gentle spirit. Bri is exactly that! She is so compassionate and was my biggest cheerleader throughout my last month of pregnancy and birth.
When I developed a rare pregnancy condition that risked me out of my home birth and made me high risk, she was the first person to tell me I could still have my dream birth. She prayed for me and believed in me and I’ll never forget that! Because of her, I didn’t feel alone and I regained some confidence!
When it came to my induction date, she was so helpful in giving me tips to prepare my body and mind. Then when birth arrived, she was the best support I could have asked for! She was hands on, helping me work through labor: reminding me to drink water, go to the bathroom, change positions, relax and rest. One of my favorite movements was when she helped me surrender in an exaggerated side lying pose and rubbed my arm and back. Those surges were some of the easiest to work through for sure! I truly do not think I would have been able to achieve my dream unmedicated birth without her. Her support was everything!

After having a very traumatic birth with my first child, my husband and I were really wanting and needing support during our second pregnancy and delivery. Bri was the exact person I needed as my doula. I delivered in the hospital and Bri was so good at helping me stay calm and was so encouraging as I delivered my baby unmediated. As nurses asked me questions I felt too much pain to feel I could respond and she just completely took over for me and knew how to answer all the questions exactly as I would have so I was able to just focus through contractions. She made sure I was drinking water and took great care of me. She was also the perfect support for my husband as well so he could just enjoy watching his son be born. She stayed with us after our baby was born and helped me through the first couple nursing sessions and grabbed us things that we needed, and documented moments for us to remember from the birth. I'm so thankful for her and highly recommend Bri! I'll be hiring her again next time.

It was a great privilege to have Bri as our doula! This was my second homebirth, and the birth team felt so united with Bri there. She helped sit with me when I needed to let out a good cry as things started to intensify and I wasn't sure if I was ready to do this. As the evening continued, she offered her support in "labor land" where I needed a hand to squeeze with each contraction. I appreciated having another sister in Christ at my birth, from encouraging me with one of my affirmations on the wall to just exuding a steady peaceful presence. My husband and I weren't sure how it would work having a doula, and if that would take away from his time by my side. Bri's presence only enhanced his ability to support me through the process. We were also so grateful to have the real-life photos of birth that she took, including my first time holding my son. Thank you, Bri, for sharing in this special day with us!

Bri was a God send for our son’s birth! We recently had our first child and I decided very late in the game (36 weeks) that I wanted a doula as I was planning for a natural birth. It was important for us to find someone who shared our faith and we were blessed to find Bri. She was so kind and is someone you instantly feel comfortable with. It was clear she was knowledgable about birth and truly passionate about helping us bring our baby into the world in the best way possible. I felt so much relief and peace going into birth knowing she’d be by our side. I was able to have a completely natural birth (in a hospital) and I know it would not have gone as smoothly without her calming presence and constant support and encouragement. She helped me get labor going at home when my water broke first, and when we got to the hospital she worked with the staff to advocate for our birth plan and create a comfortable space. She was also so great at recommending positions/techniques during labor and at getting my husband involved to support me and be a part of the birth process. We have such wonderful memories of our birth experience because of her. I could not recommend her services enough!

We loved working with Briana! She was so kind, knowledgeable, and professional throughout her time with us. She provided helpful information about different birth options and also helped us develop a birth plan that met our preferences. After a long labor, Briana was supportive and helped me make changes to my birth plan that were necessary on the spot. Throughout all of labor she was a strong support not only to me, but also to my husband. She was able to give him small breaks and coached him on how to best support me as well. Highly recommend Briana!

I had the pleasure of having Bri be our doula for our third birthday and second vbac! I moved states at 24 weeks pregnant so I did our official interview over the phone and then we met in person when I moved. Bri was so patient with me. I love that Bri and I share a lot of similar values and most importantly our faith. I knew she is what I needed on my team! Throughout pregnancy she was always available for my questions or concerns, even praying for me during health situations. When I went into labor Bri stayed connected with me and brought comfort! When we were ready for our team to come assist me, Bri was ready and prepared. When she arrived at my home during labor she jumped right in to assist me and our family during labor. I remember a moment in labor where I couldn't breath, I looked over at Bri when she calmed me down and got me back into my labor rhythm peacefully and my baby was born shortly after! I'm forever grateful! Bri was also a big help with my other kids during and after birth! She assisted our whole family as we cuddled our newest addition! I would highly recommend Bri, love her as a doula and even more as a friend!

I was fortunate to have Briana as my doula for the birth of my daughter. This was my first baby and I was scared of labor and delivery until I had Briana by my side.
Briana taught me so many skills to prepare for birth. She also educated me on my options for labor and delivery that I wouldn't have known without her expertise. I appreciated her educating me on all of my options and I did not feel pressured to pick a certain way to do things. Briana was extremely respectful of my options and helped me through every part.
From help with breathing and positioning in labor all the way to delivery, Briana was such a blessing to have with me. She is unbelievably kind hearted and truly loves helping people and the beauty of pregnancy and birth.
I truly believe my labor and delivery went smoothly because of the help I received from Briana. It was such a beautiful experience and Briana was a huge part of it all. If you're looking for someone who is experienced, knowledgeable of options, personalable, and puts what you want first, Briana is the doula for you!
