As a first-time dad, I went into this experience feeling both excited and pretty nervous. Without family nearby or a “village” to rely on, the reality of becoming a parent felt overwhelming. A friend recommended looking into a postpartum doula—something I had never even heard of before—but I’m incredibly glad I took that advice.
After speaking with Brooke for the first time, I immediately felt at ease and confident in my decision to work with her. Learning that she had raised three children of her own really stood out to me—it gave me a sense of trust in her experience and understanding right from the start.
Brooke is clearly passionate about supporting parents. She genuinely cares about advocating for and educating both new and experienced parents on all aspects of birth and childcare. That passion shows in everything she does.
She played a huge role in helping me settle into my role as a new parent. Through her coaching and thoughtful recommendations, we were able to try different approaches and find what worked best for my baby. Instead of feeling lost, I felt guided and supported every step of the way.
Brooke also helped bring structure to our days, which made the entire “first-time parent” experience feel much less overwhelming. I initially only intended to have her support for 12 weeks; however, she added so much value as I navigated parenthood that I kept her on for an additional 8 weeks!
You can truly count on Brooke for her knowledge, experience, and reliability. Beyond that, she is a genuinely nurturing person, and that quality shines through in the care and support she provides. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance and reassurance during the postpartum period.
