Testimonial for Brooke Hickman
Brooke helped me deliver my third child. My husband and I both appreciate her calm and confident spirit. We met for our prenatal meeting in a beautiful garden where Brooke took great maternity pictures. On the big day, Brooke was there for us just the way the wanted and requested. She was a peaceful, supporting witness, cheering on my husband and I in the most practical and encouraging way while giving us space and not intervening unless required. Her wonderful massage technique helped me relax to such a point that I just let go, and to my own surprise and especially to my husband's surprise, just followed my heart and stepped into the birthing pool and stayed there to deliver my first water baby! It was not in my plan, it just happened naturally. And I had no tears or stitches this time! Brooke found the most perfect music to accompany my labor. She gave me sips of water during the most intense stage and coached me to keep my voice low when I lost my cool at a certain point. Brooke took our order for a hot meal and delivered it to the birthing suite while my husband and I were soaking in our first hours with the newborn. At her postpartum visit, Brooke brought me the very thoughtful and helpful gifts. What I like best about Brooke is her compassion and genuine care. She has been supporting me and checking on me and even making sure I reach out to my midwife and counselor when I developed postpartum depression. It has been over a year so far. I already moved to another state, I am doing much better, but Brooke is still the person who I know is there for me. I can count on her understanding and help. Thank you, Brooke!
