Testimonial by Angie

“My husband and I consider ourselves so lucky to have had Bee as our doula! This was our second baby and we did not work with a doula for our first. Our first delivery was so challenging to navigate, not knowing what questions to ask as things came up and not knowing what our options were, or if we even had options. Working with Bee for the second baby was like a night and day difference. I had difficulties communicating with my provider even before the delivery and she gave me great advice and support on how to address concerns and what to expect going into labor. I had to be induced and when my provider wouldn’t spend adequate time with me addressing questions Bee was there to give me a full explanation of exactly what to expect. The day the induction came she was with me every step of the way and I trusted her advice explicitly. We felt so much calmer and more confident during this labor and were so happy with the outcome. We would highly recommend Bee and wish we had worked with her for our first baby too!” ~ Angie

“Bee was incredibly helpful for me as the husband and beyond the support that was given for my wife. I’ve felt pretty strongly that men are underserved through the process as it’s a pretty intense situation to be in and we’re almost always less prepared than our wives. Bee was super supportive and reassuring in all the stressful moments, gave us all the information we needed at each phase and was even able to predict how things would go based on our trajectories. She helped to make things less of a surprise and allowed us to be confident in our choices and not pushed around but also aware when our expectations were out of line. Bee is able to be the rock of support that you can trust and rely on and I couldn’t recommend her more. ” ~ Aaron

“I felt so supported by Bee before, during and after the birth of my baby. Before my baby was born, Bee met with me and my wife multiple times, answering our questions and offering stretches and exercises to aid labor. When it was time to go to the hospital, I felt empowered to make the right decisions for me and my family because Bee had so thoroughly prepared us ahead of time. Bee was right by my side through my lengthy hospital stay and knew just what to offer at just the right time. After we came home, Bee came to check in on us and it was calming to know we had a trusted resource by our side as we navigated the first weeks of postpartum. I cannot recommend Bee highly enough! ” ~ Caitlin

“Doula Bee gave me a level of care that my heart deeply wanted for my childbirth. She was such a fantastic doula to me. She was my “guide” though the last couple months of pregnancy, my hand to hold during childbirth and after. She was generous with her time in several prenatal visits, and present and knowledgeable in each moment with all our questions, thoughts, feelings on anything leading up to childbirth. Bee helped me prepare our birth plan, and saw me through every step of the way. You’ll never feel rushed and will always feel supported and respected no matter what twists and turns labor throws at you. She meets you right where you are and will stay in your corner seeing you through from first meeting until the moment you hold your baby and then will follow up with you at your home. She has a deep love for what she does! Give yourself the gift of a fantastic doula and go with Bee!” ~ Sonya

“I am so grateful to have had Bee by my side for my first birth. I felt comfortable with her the moment I met her and never felt judged for the birth plan I had in mind. She provided me with so many great exercises and stretches to do during my pregnancy and I truly believe they are the reason my labor was so quick and smooth. I was so scared for what was to come with labor, but once I was in that moment and had Brittny there with me, I felt completely confident with my journey! If you’re looking for a doula I highly recommend Bee! ” ~ Keely

Testimonial by Mandy

“Bee as a doula is more than just kind, calm, and genuine. She is experienced and level headed in peak times of need (and might I add “birth chaos”). She can diplomatically navigate friends, family, and hospital staff alike. However what I MUST say is she is there for YOU during labor more than the words I write here could ever describe. She has amazing suggestions, strong support, and I could tell she devotedly loved her position doing it. There is no way I could EVER repay her for helping guide me through what was one of a truly once in a life time moment. My birth story for my daughter will always include her and I cannot wait to share how Bee was involved for her for years to come. I did not have the luxury of getting to spend much quality time with Bee before calling on her in a time of need, as I might have wanted. However she was flawless and made that not matter by immediately making me comfortable, in my decisions and in mindfulness and physically while laboring for what seemed like days. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” ~ Mandy

Testimonial by Ashley

“I didn’t have a doula for my first birth, and we were lucky enough to find Bee for the second. I can not recommend her enough! We discussed and planned every avenue of my birth plan beforehand preparing for the “what ifs”. I went into labor feeling empowered with such a strong support system behind me. She did everything for me and was right there anticipating my needs before I even knew what I needed. This allowed my husband to be focused on me and the baby. She even grabbed my phone and captured some amazing photos as my son was born and the moments after. Her support did not stop at the birth. A week after my son was born I had complications that landed me in the hospital and she was there at my side without question…without us even asking…making sure my son got everything he needed and more. Everything about her was professional, friendly, and personal.” ~ Ashley

“Bee was an amazing support for me at my birth. She was a wonderful calming presence the whole time. We discussed my birth plan before hand and she was completely respectful and understanding of all my choices, and did not try to push her own ‘agenda’. It was a beautiful and smooth delivery and mostly because of having Bee there with me. I highly recommend her services!” ~ Devorah
