Testimonial for Brandie Stoneking, BSN, CD(DONA), CLS, LCCE, CPPM
Working with Brandie was the absolute BEST! I couldn't imagine a better investment in our childbirth experience.
This was my second delivery, but first time having a doula. My first delivery was 3 days of labor that ended in a cesarian. Working with Brandie (and probably some luck + patience) helped me have a successful VBAC and a birth experience that I feel positive about. I had a 30 hour labor at the hospital, and Brandie stayed with us providing support, guidance, gentle suggestions and advice for both me and my partner. While I had preferred a "natural childbirth", I had many interventions that were helpful to discuss with Brandie, and that i ultimately feel like were the right decisions for me and my baby.
Brandie is supportive, experienced and knowledgable, kind, assertive when needed, and also just fun to be around. She's a very strong communicator and was a helpful bridge between the medical staff who change every 12 hours and don't know all your history/desires/situation.
She has a great medical background combined with a network and experience that makes her at home at a hospital (or wherever she is). I would definitely work with her again and recommend her to EVERYONE I know. She was also super responsive and helpful both pre and post delivery. She clearly loves her work and excels at it! I feel very blessed to have worked with Brandie!
