As a single mom, I seeked to connect with someone special to assist me in my birth. I was overwhelmed in what to look for in a doula, until I was advised to interview, interview, interview. In our initial phone conversation Brielle answered all my questions. I connected with her answers almost immediately. When I met her in person, I knew she was perfect for the job. Her energy is very warm, nurturing and loving. I had my baby in January 2019 and despite my efforts of a vaginal birth, my baby girl was breeched and I ended up with a cesarian. Looking back at my birth experience, I have to say that Brielle did a wonderful job in preparing me for a natural birth. I labored for 15 hours without medication and all her advise and guidance is what got me through it all. She provided me with the tools for hypnobirth breathing. She periodically checked on my emotional state to ensure I worked through any fears or negative feelings so not to bring them into my birth. She encouraged me to listen to my body and my intuition and trust them both. I gained so much confidence in myself. She worked well with my midwife and birth team. Brielle also educated me on the importance of post partum care. She advised on nutrition, self care, and my support village. Her post partum care provided womb and vaginal healing through vaginal steams. She also provided emotional support. She led a Mother Blessing ceremony, a wonderful and loving experience every woman should have before birth. And she completed her services with a Closing of the Bones ceremony, a right of passage from maiden to motherhood. I loved both ceremonies. I would highly recommend Brielle as your doula. She is simply an amazing soul. She was the right fit for me and my spirituality. She will forever be a part of me and my daughter's life.
