Portland Doula & Birth Services
"There is a peaceful, confident, and supportive aura about Brooke, and she is very knowledgeable and experienced. During prenatal visits, Brooke provided me with in-depth, unbiased information that allowed me to think through my options and make the right decision for myself and my baby. During the birth, there were some scary moments and Brooke was calming, reassuring and knowledgeable. She knew when to step in and when to stay in the background. She was politely assertive with hospital staff when I needed someone to speak up for me, and she had wonderful suggestions to ease the pain, help me relax, and be in the moment. I was also very happy with how Brooke included my husband and really encouraged us to be a team"
