Testimonial for Brooke Tuggle
From the moment labor became intense, she was exactly the support I needed. There were multiple points where I was convinced I couldn’t keep going and was begging for an epidural. Instead of letting me panic, Brooke stayed calm, encouraged me, and helped me find ways to work through each contraction.
When I reached my breaking point, she suggested getting into the shower. That decision completely changed everything. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I ended up having the completely natural, physiological birth I had hoped for.
She wasn’t just there for me, she was incredible for my husband too. She helped him know exactly what to say and do to support me physically and emotionally throughout labor, making him feel confident and involved instead of overwhelmed. Together, they made an amazing team, and I truly believe my experience would have been completely different without her.
Brooke respected my birth plan, advocated for my wishes, and gave me confidence when I didn’t think I had any left. Looking back on my birth, one of the biggest reasons it went so beautifully was because she was there.
If you’re considering hiring a birth doula, I cannot recommend Brooke highly enough. I will always be grateful for the role she played in bringing our daughter into the world.
