It has taken me a while to write this testimonial as I've always felt like there was no words that could describe the care and love we received from Brenlie as our Doula. Her "work" is beyond words... I stress the word "work" because being a Doula is more than a passion, it truly is a calling for Brenlie. She was meant to be there when a child is born. Right from the start, when I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to hire a doula to be there for emotional support : having my family across the world, I felt like I needed it. And when we first met Brenlie over a Zoom call, there was no doubt: she was the one! The pregnancy went great, and even so, Brenlie regularly checked up on me, and was always there to answer questions and ease stress. Her prenatal classes were so helpful, it really made a difference to have her teach us one-on-one all we needed to know to prepare for the arrival of our bundle of joy :) As the weeks were going by, I was looking forward to the labor, knowing that Brenlie would be by our side to welcome Olivia. In the end, I had to be induced and even though it wasn't the natural birth I had hoped for, Brenlie was there for us every step of the way, from the moment they injected the oxytocin til after Olivia was in our arms. At every contraction/sensation, she was encouraging me, empowering me, helping me through every single one of them. She was warm, reassuring, I felt like I had my mom by my side. In the toughest moments, her words and her voice were soothing and I knew I could do this. It was also amazing that she was there to guide my partner to help me through the sensations, I know he's very thankful for her too! I cannot recommend Brenlie enough, and my words don't measure up to the beautiful experience we had with her. Choosing her to be our Doula was the best decision we took during this pregnancy, and I'm so glad she's still in our lives (we're doing the Baby Yoga & Me classes, and Olivia looooves it! Mommy too!)
