Testimonial for Britney O'Leary
From 6 weeks into my pregnancy all the way through postpartum, Britney was an unwavering source of support, knowledge, and compassion. she helped me feel empowered in my pregnancy journey. Her advice on patient advocacy was absolutely invaluable—she made sure I understood my options and encouraged me to speak up about my needs and preferences during medical appointments. She discussed with me making a personalized birth plan that reflected my values while preparing me for the unpredictability of labor. Which was useful because I got induced at 35 weeks due to preeclampsia. Britney’s knowledge of the induction process and advice during the first two days of labor were invaluable. I am based out of San Diego and utilized her services virtually however, I felt her presence there continuously. Britney made herself available to me all hours of the day and night. She provided such a high level of support that it made an intense experience feel more manageable and even beautiful. Britney provided me with guidance all throughout my labor and ultimately I was able to give birth naturally even after a lengthy induction process. Postpartum, Britney was a lifeline. She offered practical lactation support when I struggled to breastfeed. my son being premature he did not have an effective latch and she helped me navigate my breastfeeding experience which turned into exclusively pumping. She made the experience of pumping less daunting and helped me navigate the transition. Britney also helped me identify when I was experiencing early signs of postpartum anxiety showing me both sensitivity and providing me with real resources. Her check-ins felt like care from a trusted friend and a skilled professional all in one. If you’re looking for a doula and/or lactation consultant who is deeply knowledgeable, emotionally intuitive, and wholly committed to your wellbeing, you’ve found her.
