Testimonial for The Birth Collective | doula, photo, education
My experience with TBC was so wonderful, from the first phone call to the postpartum home visit and everything in between. I’m so grateful for having Bree with me at the hospital. I knew I was in great hands when my husband and I met them in person at their office. I really liked how they, at the meeting, talked through the labor progression and explained what I could expect – from my body and from them – in a fun, calming, reassuring way. They give you a binder full of helpful information at this visit, and I enjoyed reading through it and found it very helpful. I could go through the remainder of the pregnancy knowing I would be supported throughout the labor process.
This was my first baby, and since I was considered ‘high risk’ I needed to give birth in a hospital. I found it very calming to have Bree there with me and my husband. I felt so held, listened to, and cared for, and I loved how gentle she was. I knew she had my back. This baby was posterior, so Bree had me do a bunch of different positions to try to get baby in a better position. She had me try eevverything, and for that I’m so grateful. When the baby was finally out, Bree even stopped a nurse from taking my baby to do measurements before ‘golden hour’, so baby and I could get this very important, sacred moment together. I also really appreciated that she brought various tools such as a TENS-unit, and a speaker so I could listen to nature sounds to stay calm.
And the photos.. I love having these amazing picture memories of the whole process! I barely noticed her taking photos. The postpartum visit was also very lovely; talking through the whole experience was exactly what I needed then. I could cry, I’m so grateful and happy we got to have Bree there with us (and afterwards). To anyone thinking about hiring The Birth Collective, rest assured you will be in great hands. Thank you sooo much Bree, Sarah & Austin!
