Testimonial for Priscilla Brickey & Jennifer Anderson LM, CPM, LMT, CBS, CD(DONA)
My husband and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the doula care I received from Priscilla and Kristina at Motherly Transitions!
Priscilla was able to work with me on successfully turning my breech baby to a head down position in week 37 of my pregnancy with both massage therapy and techniques/exercises to do at home. Kristina had the first shift with me at the hospital when I went into labor: I was stuck in a tiny triage room for a few hours waiting on a room to open up, and she swiftly adjusted the negative impact this was having on me by changing the dynamic of the room with her positive energy, support with laboring positions in a small space, and utilization of essential oils. Her assistance with communication with our nurses was also invaluable.
Priscilla showed up in the very early morning to relieve Kristina and carried me through to delivery. Even with the epidural in those final hours, my upper body was still very sore from the earlier intense contractions that lasted for almost an entire 24 hour period - Priscilla was able to soothe me again with massage therapy so I could be as comfortable as possible. Although I didn’t end up with the natural birth I was planning for (delivered by c section after 36 hours), Priscilla was instrumental with ensuring that I was both fully informed on the options the doctor was giving me and emotionally at peace with all decisions that needed to be made during this process. She even helped in getting the doctor’s approval for some last “let’s give it everything we got” position changes and techniques for getting baby to come down into the proper station and for me to dilate fully. For this and everything that Kristina and Priscilla did for myself, my husband, and my baby, I am eternally grateful. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone in their birth journeys. Thank you!
