Testimonial for Brighid Quinn
Following the traumatic hospital birth of my first daughter, the thought of going through childbirth again filled me with anxiety and fear. However, Brighid's support and guidance transformed my second delivery into a healing and empowering experience.
From our initial meeting, it was evident that Brighid was deeply committed to providing a supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate experience. She took the time to understand my previous birth story, my fears, and my hopes for this delivery. Her evidence-based approach reassured me that the strategies and techniques we discussed (both for laboring at home, and delivery at the hospital) were not only safe but also proven to enhance the birthing experience.
During the labor and delivery, her calm and confident presence was invaluable. She provided continuous emotional support, practical advice on pain management techniques, and advocated for my birth plan with the hospital staff. Her suggestions on positioning helped me to feel in control of my labor and was actually a crucial part of my labor progressing!
Perhaps most importantly, she was a source of unwavering support for both me and my partner. She guided us through each stage of labor, ensuring that we felt informed and empowered to make decisions.
Thanks to Brighid's support, the birth of my second daughter was a profoundly positive and healing experience -- a "redemptive birth" as she so perfectly called it during our postpartum visit. It was a stark contrast to my first delivery, and I attribute much of this difference to her knowledge, compassion, and advocacy. She not only helped me to bring my daughter into the world in a way that felt right to me but also helped me to reclaim my confidence and trust in my body.
I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a supportive and evidence-based approach to childbirth.
