Testimonial for Breana Espinoza
From the moment I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted a doula on my birth team. Being a woman of color, having someone there to advocate for me during my birth experience was non negotiable.
What I didn’t expect was his hands on Breana would be during the months leading up to my birth. She gave me and my partner a wealth of resources to explore from books, to podcasts, and even an in-person pregnancy support group which we both attended multiple times.
Anytime I had a question, concern, or fear— I knew I could turn to Breana and she would offer me evidence based information as well as any nuances she could provide as a mother herself.
One thing that was extremely special that Breana did for me was record her birth stories and share them with me. It was so special to hear her experience and being able to ask her questions about her own birth left me even more prepared when the day came.
When I went into labor— I called Breana and she was there for us from the moment we felt we needed her support at the hospital.
Her presence during my labor was invaluable and irreplaceable for both myself AND my partner. I will ALWAYS treasure the memories we created together in that hospital room.
Moreover, after birth, Breana remained available to answer questions that are bound to arise as a first-time parent and she stayed invested in our experience and our son’s life as we navigated the first few weeks together.
Breana is a walking embodiment of the gift that doula can bring to your life. I cannot recommend her highly enough and am so grateful to have her in our lives even as our contract comes to a close.
