Testimonial for Priscilla Brickey & Jennifer Anderson LM, CPM, LMT, CBS, CD(DONA)
When the Doula I selected backed out when I was 36 weeks as a result of an injury, I was devastated. I was also panicked about who/how anyone could replace her so close to my due date. I was nervous that I would not feel comfortable with whoever replaced her. Turns out all of my fears/worries were misplaced because she left me in the most capable hands, Priscilla and Kristina. From the moment I met Kristina and Priscilla, I felt instantly comforted. At our initial meeting they assured me I was in good hands and then they proved it. Ultimately, I ended up believing that the reason I met my original Doula was so that I wound up with Kristina and Priscilla. I loved that Priscilla was so experienced and had just about every certification under the sun, while Kristina, equally well qualified, was also a former labor and delivery nurse. I was also comforted by the fact that their main focus was making sure I had ample support during labor and delivery, as a result it was their practice to work in 12 hour shifts so that I always had a fresh coach there to help me (though, thankfully I did not end up with a 12 hour labor). Because I was over 40 weeks, my doctor scheduled me for inducement, I was terrified as I planned to have a natural childbirth and the interventions my doctor suggested sounded terrifying. When I called Priscilla anxious and panicked, she spent a half hour on the phone with me talking me through options I could try to jump start labor naturally and avoid inducement. I was skeptical, but followed her advice to a the letter and low and behold it worked! The Same was true of the labor process, I stayed connected with them via text and phone until everyone made their way to the hospital. Throughout the month I knew Kristina and Priscilla, I felt more supported By them than I did with my original Doula. Meeting them was truly a blessing in disguise and next time I will call Motherly Transitions from the start.
