I would recommend Bri to anyone looking for a birth doula! She helped my husband and I with the birth of our firstborn - I knew that no matter how smoothly delivery went we'd both need extra support as I'd had a miscarriage prior to this pregnancy and already felt anxious thinking about giving birth.
Delivery did not end up being smooth unfortunately as I had some complications, but having Bri there to offer more information and remind us about details we'd forgotten and talk over options with us was incredibly helpful. She kept both of us calm and focused while we were waiting for labor to start (no small feat during what seemed like an endless induction process) and during labor as well. A lot of my labor is a blur, but I distinctly remember her standing by my head and gently repeating a calming phrase based on what I had told her was most important for me during labor, and how comforted I felt by that.
From the very first meeting Bri was kind, friendly, and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She also met with us before delivery to hammer out a birth plan and get a feel for how we'd like to be supported as well as after delivery to check up on us and provide helpful suggestions/referrals. We really appreciated having Bri with us for the birth of our daughter and would definitely work with her again if we decide to have more children!
