Brianna is THE BEST. She was our birth doula and she is the perfect balance of the human side of the birth experience as well as the clinical side: She was a lovely addition to our birth team and provided emotional support and was also well-informed on the medical terms and birth process. She provided great prenatal education and it was nice to have continuity during the prenatal to post birth experience as it often feels like we are being passed around from one nurse / doctor / clinic to another . During the birth, Brianna was emotionally and physically supportive and managed our side of the labor and delivery process so we could focus on each other and the baby. She always made sure we were consulted each time there was an intervention so nothing would happen without our consent. She also made sure I was comfortable (essential oils, different positions to try, etc) and I knew she had my best interests in mind per the birth plan we made together, vs the hospital's easiest way out. I highly recommend her and am happy to be her reference anytime!

“For our second child's birth, my partner and I were initially unsure if having a doula would be worth it. After experiencing Brianna's support, I can't imagine a better investment for our family than the more peaceful childbirth she helped to create. From our first conversation to our last appointment postpartum, Brianna made us feel seen, heard, and protected. She brought both gentleness and strength to our journey, providing an abundance of evidence-based information along with holistic, affirming care. Brianna made what would have been a stressful, pressurized hospital birth into an empowering one, and for that we are forever grateful for her. Brianna is truly called to and made for this sacred work.“

“Brianna was amazing! We clicked right from the start, and she was so great about understanding what we were looking for and not pushing us too far out of our comfort zone. She was an excellent resource throughout the entire process, and I felt more ready and confident heading into labor. She has also been quick to check up on us since the birth; I truly felt supported and cared for having her in my corner! I wanted to have as short and smooth as possible of a birth the second time around, and I got my wish!”

“As soon-to-be first time parents, we did all we could to read about pregnancy and the birth process but nothing comes close to having a Doula like Brianna to ask questions and have discussions with. She was, and continues to be, a resource for us. Even though we were her first clients, it felt like Brianna was born for this and had been doing it for years. Her genuine humor coupled with knowledge and passion made her a perfect fit for what we were looking for. Someone we could joke with, ask questions, and feel comfortable with during the most intimate moment of our lives. Ultimately, it’s hard to imagine the birth of our daughter without Brianna’s support. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for that support and guidance.”

“Brianna went above and beyond for us! As first time parents navigating pregnancy and parenthood during a pandemic, she was a gold mine to find! She educated us throughout the process on medical interventions, the whole birth process and more. Since she couldn't physically be with us at the hospital because of COVID, she still ensured she labored virtually with us. This was a huge help for my husband and I! After the baby was born, she brought over herbal teas, sitz baths, and a special "padsicle" spray. Brianna is amazing at what she does and a true gem if you're able to have her! Thank you for empowering us and making my pregnancy and birth so much more enjoyable!”

As a Black woman, we wanted support in advocating within the medical establishments before and after birth. We also heard stories from friends about how they wished that they had postpartum support. Brianna helped by checking in on my mental, spiritual and physical and my husbands, pace bottle feeding, twin wearing, Sitz baths, meal prep, lactation cookies - she did a ton!
Brianna is one of the most thoughtful, energetic, curious, patient, and hard working women I’ve met! I wasn’t sure about hiring a daytime doula at first but she was worth every penny. If you want someone open to feedback on how to best support you, who also proactively puts your care, your baby / babies care and your families care at the forefront of your recovery you won’t be disappointed with Brianna.

“Working with Brianna was truly a gift. As our postpartum doula, Brianna came into our home with warmth, expertise, care and professionalism. We benefited from her breadth of knowledge of both Western medicine as well as Indigenous and Eastern traditions. She listened to our concerns and offered suggestions that addressed our needs. She centers her clients' wishes and her nonjudgmental approach to the first weeks of parenthood was a breath of fresh air. In addition, Brianna was so helpful, with everything from care of mama and baby to chores around the house. After working with her, we both felt at ease and prepared to care for our newborn on our own. We now consider Brianna a friend. We recommend her services with the highest praises! As a Black woman, we wanted support in advocating within the medical establishments before and after birth. We also heard stories from friends about how they wished that they had postpartum support. Our goals for postpartum were to sleep, have the support needed to rest and recover, while also caring for and loving our baby. Brianna helped us achieve this!”

“We worked with Brianna as our postpartum doula after we brought our son home from a month-long stay in the NICU. Her attentive and loving presence, knowledge of newborn care, and willingness to go above and beyond to support us were crucial in helping us settle from such a stressful experience into life as a new family. She not only listened carefully to our goals and provided invaluable resources to meet these, she also guided us to prepare for important upcoming milestones so that we had a smooth transition out of her care. It felt like having a postpartum therapist for our whole family!”

“From our consultation, we felt connected and like Brianna was someone who would listen to us and support our parenting decisions. Brianna was extremely helpful during such a big transition in our lives. She was great at soothing our son Eli, as well as checking in with me and my partner about any needs we had. She took initiative to support my physical and emotional healing. We are so grateful for support with some light housework so we could spend time with our new baby. We were looking for someone to help us protect our time with our new baby while still taking care of ourselves and our home. We knew we wouldn’t have consistent support from our families at home, so we were hoping to fill in the gaps! She is also an amazing cook! We would definitely recommend any family who has a new baby to work with Brianna!”

“Brianna is a special person with a real gift for being with newborns and with new parents. We so appreciated the broad range of information and skills she taught us in a short period of time. She took good care of our family and empowered me and my husband with tools and knowledge that have already made our parenting journey much smoother.”

“Brianna is a shining beam of light that we were fortunate enough to welcome into our home and our family. She is truly a special human with the kindest heart. Brianna was our postpartum doula for 2 months and we couldn't have done it without her. We connected with her from the jump on our first video call and decided on the spot that she would be a great fit for us and our needs. We had the utmost trust in her to take care of our little one while we slept. She cared for our little one and all of us, so lovingly; preparing food, light cleaning, and always sweetly reminding us to drink water and rest while we could. Even during our not busy times, our conversations were special and we'll never forget our time with Brianna. We just wish she could be with us forever!
As new parents with no help from friends or family during covid, we wanted someone experienced, kind, and thoughtful to help us with nights at first and then a mix of nights/days while we get acclimated to being parents.
Our goals were to get rest, learn about being new parents, bond with our son, and for mom, recover well. Yes! Brianna let us rest while she cared for our little one at night. We had no worries with her while she cared for him. We were able to rest well knowing he was in good hands- so invaluable! During the days Brianna was here she truly went above and beyond to make sure all the little house chores were done, while balancing caring for our little one and sharing tips and tricks of the trade.
Her kindness and friendship stand out most. After this experience, we know we will be keeping in touch with Brianna for a very long time. For us, her knowledge and care for little ones really let us fully trust her to do the right thing when it came to our son.”

“Our time working with Brianna was really special and felt like such a blessing. I'm not someone who usually asks for help but I wanted to give myself the gift of support during my fourth trimester. I could tell from the start that Brianna was professional, warm and easy to talk to. Her instincts are spot on and she was so sweet with both my baby and my toddler. It felt so good to know during our time together that I could have a tidy house and a warm meal without having to do everything myself. Brianna is super knowledgeable about birth and the postpartum period and she gifted me with the sweetest tea blend, made especially for my needs and packaged beautifully. Brianna puts a lot of thought and a lot of heart into her work and I would recommend her enthusiastically to anyone looking for some extra help in the fourth trimester.”

“Brianna supported me with a virtual postpartum visit via Zoom (due to the Covid-19 pandemic). She is such a warm person and helped me feel so supported and heard during this challenging period. She met with my husband and I before our official consult call to get to know us and discuss our needs. She made helpful suggestions for supplements, assisted me with breastfeeding positions, engorgement, pain relief, swaddling, pumping, and I'm sure so much more that my mom brain is forgetting! She genuinely cares and provided additional resources for me via email to give me extra information. I would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for support during or after birth.”

“Very happy clients. Brianna was very sweet and gentle with our baby Eden. She was also very accommodating & willing to help with last minute changes (I originally interviewed her for prenatal doula, then decided i wanted a postnatal , and also delivered 2 weeks early... lol there was allot going on) . She came on time , was efficient, proactive, and had a smile and calming aura to her while doing it. She also prepared a care package for me post birth that was very sweet (and delicious!). Will hire her for my second child as well.”
