Testimonial for Briana Smith
Briana’s services are worth it and she is just awesome! We had our reservations when we first looked into doulas, but couldn’t be happier with our decision. We are first time parents and had never heard of a doula before the pregnancy, so we weren’t sure what her services would entail and if we really would need a doula. However, after meeting her the first time, we knew almost instantly we’d need her in our lives. Briana was always well informed and made suggestions not only out of experience, but would also support everything with references. This gave us the chance to build our own opinion and, ultimately, make an informed decision. This was very important for us because, even though we had read a lot and went to all pregnancy classes, there was still so much out there to learn and 40 weeks are just not enough time. Briana is very experienced and can easily guide, reassure and calm you. She never pushed us in any direction but rather supported every decision we made.
She was not overbearing but rather sensed what we as a couple wanted and needed... her involvement was just perfect for us! She not only supported me but also my husband. She gave my husband a chance to labor with me and help me so we can experience this moment together. I can’t even summarize in how many ways she helped us during pregnancy, birth and up to now. You can sense her passion for childbirth and that’s what makes her a perfect doula. She has a 1 on 1 relationship with her clients and she will be the one at your birth (but does have a sub, just in case). We saw a lot of other doula services that are a collaboration of 3 or more doulas and whoever is on call that day will attend your birth. Briana offers personalized and dedicated services and has become a close friend of our family. We will definetely hire her again as a postpartum doula as well as whenever we will have more children.
