Testimonial for Priscilla Brickey & Jennifer Anderson LM, CPM, LMT, CBS, CD(DONA)
My husband and I have been so grateful for the support of Priscilla and Kristina throughout the pregnancy, during the delivery and in the days after our first baby was born. They were both always available for questions (we had so many!) and support, and always responded very quickly with great advice. Both Priscilla and Kristina have extensive experience. We appreciate that Kristina was a Labor & Delivery nurse, and that Priscilla is in training to be a midwife and massage therapist in addition to their extensive experience as doulas.
Prisicilla's massages were an important part of the support both before the birth, and after. I can't recommend postpartum massage highly enough--that really helped my body to recover from the birth!
The childbirth class was wonderful, and we felt very prepared. They gave so much great information and resources which helped us develop our birth plan, and they supported our choices.
During the delivery, Kristina was present, and her help was so essential!! Her help coaching during pushing resulted in 20 min of pushing for a first time mom. I know that's not always the case, however I feel like her support helped the delivery to be much smoother and briefer than it might have been had she not been there. She also helped coach my husband, who really appreciated her presence. She also took photos of the delivery, and WOW I cry every time I see them. I am so glad we have those photos!! My OB also commented on how great it was to have her at the birth.
Having a baby during a pandemic has been overwhelming at times, especially since we haven't been able to have the physical presence of any of our family members the whole time. In this context, having the support of Priscilla and Kristina as doulas has been even more essential. They are both awesome and a fantastic team. I highly recommend them! We are immensely grateful.
