Testimonial for Brooke Tuggle
Brooke was my doula for my third baby, born at St. Joseph East in Lexington, and I can't recommend her enough!
Even after two beautiful births with an incredibly supportive husband, including a natural water birth, I'd never used a doula. But I knew another natural water birth would take a strong support system, especially in a hospital that was new to me. Brooke went above and beyond anything I expected.
When I went into labor, my midwife wasn't available, so I was working with a care team I didn't know. Having Brooke with me through my pregnancy and right there at the birth gave me the consistency I needed and made me so much more comfortable. Water births aren't common at this hospital, and Brooke advocated for me with the nurses and midwife so I could have the birth I had planned.
During labor, Brooke followed my birth plan and knew exactly what I needed, whether that was essential oils, counter-pressure, or massage. She was wonderful at hands-on comfort, and she still made sure my husband was part of every moment.
As a Christian, I was blown away by Brooke's calm, thoughtful, and prayerful presence. At my request, she played worship music throughout my labor, and it set a peaceful tone for the whole birth.
Her care didn't stop once my daughter arrived. She checked on me and supported me afterward, and it meant so much.
I couldn't have asked for more beautiful birth support here in Lexington. If you're hoping for a natural birth, or you just want someone steady and caring in your corner, Brooke is the doula you want.
