As Brianna and I do not live in the same location, I was initially disappointed that I would not be able to take full advantage of all of her childbirth and postpartum services in preparation for my first child. However, when Covid-19 hit and my local childbirth class was cancelled, I turned to Brianna to inquire whether she had virtual childbirth classes. And thankfully, she did!
Brianna went above and beyond for me in our virtual childbirth classes. We were able to easily video call and her power point slides were full of pertinant information but simple and easy to understand. For stretches or positions normally shown in a face-to-face class, Brianna was able to recreate them over the video call or in some instances took photos with her own family to demonstrate. She walked me through the different stages of labour and what to expect at all times. She really put me at ease for giving birth in general, but especially during a global pandemic.
Brianna also took me through a virtual postpartum course which was very beneficial. Oftentimes everyone focuses on childbirth but not the mammoth undertaking of bringing the baby home from the hospital. Brianna calmed all of my fears about caring for the baby and myself during those first few days and weeks at home.
Brianna is extremely knowledgable in all things childbirth and postpartum and while she asked whether I had any questions every single step of the way, she also had very clear answers for each question.
To anyone looking to take a childbirth/postpartum class or hire a postpartum doula, I would highly recommend Brianna! She is knowlegable, relatable and compassionate - three qualities which are undoubtedly needed as one begins their journey into motherhood.
