Testimonial for Bree Minter
I knew from the second I got pregnant that we wanted the support of a doula for our birth. I had a few friends mention The Birth Collective and after our first zoom, I knew they were the perfect match. Of course baby comes on their own schedule, so you don’t know which doula you’re going to get, but all of them are fabulous in their own doula way! I really felt that whoever was the one who came to our birth was meant to be & I would’ve been happy to have any of them there! Now looking back, I feel that even more. Each of these women served such an important role throughout my pregnancy. Sarah & Bree led us through our prenatal visit. We felt a little pigeonholed by our providers at one point, and Bree & Sarah immediately jumped on a zoom call with us to let us know we had more options to choose from. Austin was on maternity leave through the end of my pregnancy, but she kept us smiling with funny reels & pictures of her adorable baby on instagram!
At 39+2 my anticipated home birth became a hospital induction. Bree met us at the hospital before we were even admitted. She sat with us through some tough conversations with an OB who was not supportive of my birth plan and had some pretty outdated information regarding birth - yikes! Bree was the perfect person to help support us and help us advocate for ourselves. We ended up switching OBs so that we could have our baby in a safe, supportive environment. Although labor was a blur - a very long 22 hour blur - my husband and I could not be more grateful for Bree. I truly believe we would not have had the birth we did without her. I will never be able to thank her enough. Oh & this was all on her birthday!!
Any birthing person would be lucky to have any of these women as a part of their birth team. They will support you, advocate for you, and more importantly, give you the space & teach you to advocate for yourself.
