I hired Brielle to support my second sovereign home birth. I hired Brielle because I felt very connected to her as a woman, friend, sister, and birth worker. A birth worker who carries a very specific perspective around birth and it’s possibilities for women and families. I feel that Brielle brings a beautiful grace to a birth space. She orients towards being hands off and observant. For me, this orientation in a birth worker is a non-negotiable because it is a deeply intuitive and mother led space.

Brielle was the exact type of support that I knew that I wanted from the beginning. As a birthing mother, my belief is that I am the one to birth my baby, and I am the lead of my birth space, and so having truly mother and family led birth support is my priority in my birth spaces. That means for me that the people that I invite in to support the space are oriented towards observing me, listening to me and following my lead. And this is something that I felt Brielle did amazingly. Qualities that Brielle brought to my birth dove that I loved were that she wasn’t overbearing, she didn’t bring an authoritative energy in, she didn’t project her own beliefs or expectations onto me. She was quiet, hands off, yet monitoring the process closely. She was open, receptive, and made me feel at ease.

Brielle trusts birth, and that feels clear to me. And she trusts women, their bodies and the great mystery of it all. She always speaks of her deep, inward and spiritually oriented experiences in birth spaces, which to me, says she's connected. It tells me that it's not just a role, that it's not just going through the motions or doing what she's been taught in any of her studies, but rather, she understands that it's women's mysteries, it's women's medicine, and that she's a part of that lineage, but is in the back seat role as she follows her sister, the birthing mother, the birthing woman. And to me, that's everything.

My partner and I chose to work with Brielle as our doula based on a literal full body sensation that screamed YES the moment I met her. We both felt her so right to be accompanying us on this epic journey of pregnancy, birth & postpartum which meant a whole deal since we chose to keep it as private & undisturbed as possible. During my wild pregnancy & free birth she was the only other person that entered our intimate dynamic and it felt so perfect to have her witness our evolution. we know we couldn’t have chosen a better or more suited person than her.

The way Brielle supported the birth of our son is the most accurate depiction of how she serves in her work. Her presence was impeccable & her devotion could be felt as a fierce yet loving protective embrace. She honoured our wishes without question & infused the space with unwavering trust in the power of birth. Undoubtedly the manner in which she holds herself in the birth process is masterful, every word spoken by Brielle seems channeled by a higher consciousness for it lands so perfectly & timely. Her chosen silence on the other hand soothes and grounds the energetics of the room. Its remarkable to know such an egoless individual when it comes to their most sacred service.

Brielle is truly an ally to both women & their partners when it comes to this immense & holy rite of passage. Through pregnancy she offered us the opportunity to be heard & acknowledged without ever projecting a single fear onto us, she reminded us of our strengths & guided us gently towards our desired goals. We felt seen & understood, safe to express freely anything we were experiencing and it brought us closer than we could have imagined as a couple. She assisted us in preparing for postpartum & its importance to settle as a family in rest & nourishment. Once postpartum came, she showed up at our door with the most delicious meals so we could focus on tending to ourselves & baby. it is invaluable to continue to have her support & listening ear in the tender times that are the postpartum period. To have her alongside us has been such a blessing.

Brielle did a wonderful job as my doula. Her warm personality and love and appreciation of all aspects of the maternal experience make her a natural fit as a doula. She provided my husband and I with the support we needed from pregnancy, through childbirth and postpartum. She helped with everything from showing us stretches to help with lower back and hip pain and recommending reading materials to the more significant things like connecting me with a teacher for birthing/breastfeeding class and helping to devise a birth plan. She would check in often to ask about my physical and mental state as well and lend an ear to any anxieties I was having. Many times, Brielle would just send a quick message with words of encouragement and inspiration that would always lift my spirits. When I had questions she would often do research to make sure she would be giving me the best information possible. Something which I valued very much.

During labor Brielle knew just when take a more active role and when to step back. When we had to deviate from the birth plan because of unforeseen complications and I was scared and upset, she did an excellent job of helping me refocus and reminding me that I was doing what I needed to do for myself and my baby. Brielle also knew just what to say to my husband so he would stay calm and continue to act as an effective birth partner.

In her role as my postpartum doula, Brielle, provided me with both the physical and emotional support that I needed. She even accompanied me when my baby had to be readmitted to the hospital for treatment. As my recovery was longer than expected, she continually checked in to make sure I had everything I needed and often connect with other doulas to see if there was anything else she could find to help me. I can say without hesitation that Brielle was a tremendous asset during my transition to motherhood and any parent-to-be would be lucky to have her with them on their journey.
