Testimonial for Briana Smith
I never considered having a doula because I always knew I wanted an epidural and I always thought doulas were for people attempting natural childbirth. However, Briana made me feel really validated in the fact that I desired support despite also desiring medical pain relief. I am extremely satisfied with not only the support Briana provided be during labor, but also the prenatal childbirth education she did for me. I went into this feeling way more educated, and therefore more empowered to advocate for myself despite Briana being there. She always said she would step in if need be, and especially if I wanted her to, but I expressed to her my desire to find and feel confident in utilizing my voice during labor, and she facilitated that experience for me.
