Testimonial for Brooke Sackett, CD, CPD, CNCS
My experience with Brooke was a blessing. I was pregnant after a year of trying and a miscarriage. Every pregnancy symptom hit me hard and for the first time in my adult life I couldn't take my prescribed anxiety medication. I was dealing with a debilitating fear of childbirth due to a traumatic experience in my adolescence. I dragged my feet in getting a doula because I thought, "the baby is going to come and birth is going to be the worse thing that has ever happened to me". My sister and husband convinced me it was a good idea to have someone to yell at during birth who wasn't someone I love.
I interviewed 4-5 doulas before meeting with Brooke. Brooke was the last one I set up to interview and it only took about 2 minutes of talking before I knew I needed to hire her. She immediately felt like talking to a friend, she is just one of those people you can tell anything to. She knows every mother is different and she's an absolute rockstar at molding to your specific needs.
I met with Brooke in person twice to prep for the birth. I genuinely like spending time with her and I knew I needed her by my side when I went into labor. On the big day, Brooke ended up coming to the hospital as soon as we were ready for her to join, even though it was maybe 1 am? I had to have a number of interventions and Brooke was able to talk me through and advocate for me every step of the way. She stayed by my side over 24 hours and fought for every single thing I needed. When I say this woman is a force of nature, I mean it.
Words can't really capture the serious bond I had with Brooke. We moved from Colorado to Texas 2 weeks after the birth of my daughter, otherwise I would still be seeing her regularly, both as friends and because she is a great doula. I'm forever indebted to her and I only hope that other women out there who are afraid of giving birth get to have someone like Brooke by their side for it.
