Testimonial for Bree Minter
From the moment we hired The Birth Collective, we knew that we had three amazing women in our corner to help us navigate our first birth experience!
Bree provided an amazing amount of support ahead of the birth, particularly as we grieved a recent pregnancy loss, offering emotional support and resources to help us process our loss while also connecting with the baby in our current pregnancy.
On the big day, Bree came in with a calm head and poise that immediately set us both at ease. Her knowledge in labor coping, counterpressure and positioning is what I attribute my fairly quick induction to. Our birth looked so different from what we expected, and she provided space for us to process these changes while also feeling empowered in our decisions. She commanded the room and held our nurses accountable when they started interventions without my consent. I truly can't put into words what it means to have a doula at your birth when you already feel so overwhelmed and out of control - it feels like there's finally someone who has your best interests in mind, who is incredibly knowledgeable, has your back, and will do anything to make sure everyone in the room respects what you want your birth to look like. Bree knew exactly what to say to help me get through my labor when the exhaustion was getting to me. She was also so much help for my husband, guiding him in providing counterpressure as well as making sure he was doing okay throughout the labor. When it was finally time for our daughter to make her entrance, Bree took the most amazing pictures that we will cherish forever!!
I can't stress enough how much it has meant to have this amazing, powerful, badass woman on our side throughout our pregnancy and in postpartum. The consistant presence and support, even after our daughter was born, has made such a huge difference in our lives. Bree is truly gifted in what she does and I feel incredibly lucky to have her as our doula!!
