My experience with Bridgette was fantastic. My main reason for using a doula was I wanted someone in the birth room to be a fierce advocate while I was medicated and in pain and unable to advocate for myself. She was that and so much more.

I had to push for 4 hours to get my little one out after already being in labor for 18 hours. The doctor said I was close to needing the vacuum to get her out and I credit Bridgette's knowledge, encouragement of frequent position changes while pushing and encouragement to keep hydrated and nourished with clear liquids to why I was able to get my little one out without the vacuum.

Another thing that was a great help was giving my overwhelmed partner guidance on the best ways of helping me and keeping him calm and involved in a stressful situation. In addition to that she got the BEST pictures of the delivery while respecting the fact I didn't want any from the angle you could see my more intimate areas. I'll cherish those pictures forever.

My birth was a beautiful wonderful experience. I have to credit part of it to luck but the majority of it to Bridgette.

We've enjoyed working with Bree since birth and now through postpartum. She's very caring and supportive. Bree was able to advocate for me during birth and follow my birth plan. Postpartum visits have also been great. She assists me with whatever I need, including playing with my toddler so I can for my newborn. She's very sweet and we highly recommend her.

Bree is a very kind person whom I had the privilege of working with as our night PostPartum Doula. She came in when my planned doula ghosted us. It's been a very helpful and enjoyable experience to have had her support in the most vulnerable moments. She was good at soothing my new born, feeding and putting her to sleep. I couldn't have asked for more. Bree was ultra resourceful to get chores done in the night, so we had smooth transition the next day. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
