Testimonial for Brandie Stoneking, BSN, CD(DONA), CLS, LCCE, CPPM
Brandie was a perfect fit into our birthing team! I knew from our first meeting that we would be friends. I tend to worry about everyone and everything I possibly can and Brandie helped me work through this on our journey together. I knew with her on our side that I wouldn't have to worry how my husband was doing, I could just focus on myself and getting our baby girl out so we could finally meet her. Brandie made sure we were nourished, relaxed, positive and focused. We had two meetings before the birth and she made sure she knew our hopes and fears going into labor and delivery. We made a game plan as to how we were going to deal with our fears and my anxiety. I am glad we did this because it helped immensely. Our goal was to go natural and drug free but due to certain circumstaces drug free was not in our journey. With our conversations that we had before birth, I felt more prepared emotionally for this. I wouldn't have prepped for this without Brandie. (I tend to avoid thinking about different outcomes until I am faced with them...an issue, I know). Brandie was a beacon of positivity and light throughout it all. When I was in pain, she helped me through. When I was losing focus, she re-centered me. After our daughter Kayli was born, she took photos of our new family. I will cherish these memories forever. Her amazing generosity didn't stop there. Our postpartum visit was like catching up with a friend. She made sure we were all doing well. She corrected our breastfeeding form, which helped immensely! Brandie also sent emails to our friends and family for a food delivery service to help us in the first few weeks of being home. I can't even begin to describe how much this idea helped us. Brandie helped make our birth of Kayli something we can always look back on with pride and joy. I am forever grateful! :)
