Testimonial for Brandi Kloster
We hired Brandi on a recommendation to support us through the birth of our first child. When we hired her we were planning a hospital birth, but wanting to have a home birth. Brandi went above and beyond from the very beginning - starting with offering access to further education and support around exploring the home birth option. We ended up having an incredibly fulfilling and supported home birth with the help of Brandi and an excellent midwife. When I had some trouble with my immediate postpartum recovery, Brandi was absolutely incredible in supporting me and the midwife (our midwife was also so impressed with Brandi) and I know I was a challenge for both of them in those moments. Brandi was so kind, thorough, open, and non-judgmental in our meetings. She was an incredible resource for education and information without ever feeling any pressure around our decisions. She helped us develop a hopeful birth plan in the case of a hospital transfer and made us feel as equipped as possible for our birthing experience. Brandi was unbelievably patient and attentive through many hours of labor and I don’t know how I would have been able to manage the unmedicated labor without her physical and emotional support. Postpartum, I think it would be very difficult to have a hospital birth that would meet my needs personally and there’s no questions that Brandi would be an essential addition to the birth team if I had to have a hospital birth in the future or for anyone considering birth in that setting. Her postpartum debriefing meeting was really special and more needed than I even realized. Her placental encapsulation package was very professional, fast, beautiful, and filled with love. It’s very obvious that Brandi loves being a doula. We would highly recommend her to anyone considering hiring a doula and would absolutely call her again should more children be in our future!
