Testimonial for Riley Baran CBD/PCD, Certified BRM® Pro
We originally sought out a doula for postpartum care but ended up being convinced of the benefits of having a doula for our birth too. When we met Riley we immediately felt a connection with her. Our biggest concern was finding someone who aligned with our goals which did not fixate on a completely natural birth.
I anticipated potential complications in my pregnancy and unfortunately I ended up being right. Riley's prep discussions helped prepare us (especially my husband) for the birthing and induction process. During labour, she was able to ask the questions we didn't know to ask and she was able to help move me into different positions to try to move baby boy down. She even let my husband get a bit of sleep during labour! Unfortunately we ended up with a c section but thanks to Riley we were prepared for that too!
I believe Riley was instrumental in helping me avoid birth trauma and we can't wait to continue receiving support from her during the postpartum period.
