Testimonial for Brianna LaHaie
Something that Bri added to our birth experience was a steady calmness. She kept us anchored, calm and confident throughout the entire birth process. One of Bri’s strengths as she supported our family was that she fit in so naturally at our birth. She seemed so comfortable to be there, even in the most intimate and least glamorous moments. It is difficult to enter into one of the most intimate moments of someone’s life and for it to feel natural and comfortable, and Bri showed an incredible gift at this.
A significant memory from my birth is when we arrived to the hospital and the valet man, after hearing I was in labor, in a panic started to clumsily wheel me off, separating me from Bri and my husband while they were screened for covid. Bri very quickly stepped in and advocated for me, confidently telling the man that I was fine, and that I would wait with them and did not want to be separated from my support team. She stepped up for us exactly how we needed her to, and we laugh about the scared naive valet man every time we tell our birth story.
You should hire Bri as your doula because she will advocate for you and help you achieve your desires for your birth. She is so eager and flexible to be whatever kind of help you need and are looking for at your birth, from feeding you ice cubes to starting the car, and overall being an extra person to lean on for support, literally and figuratively. If Bri hadn’t been there to say “I think it’s time to go to the hospital”, we probably would have given birth at home or in the car!
