We were visiting family in Cleveland and used Brooke as our night time Doula for our 4 month old. She helped for 6 evenings and we are forever grateful. She was absolutely amazing. Our 4 month old was a premie and had some gas issues that resulted in very poor sleep. Brooke was so patient with her. She made sure that we were comfortable with her approach and even helped us brainstorm ideas to help our girl sleep better. She quickly learned our little ones needs and jumped right into helping her. She washed bottles and offered to fold laundry. Brooke had so much patience and was gentle with our girl. Best thing was, we got to sleep which was much needed while being out of our routine back home and having 2 other kids. 10/10 recommend Brooke!!

Brooke was with me for the birth of my first daughter, and I cannot imagine it being any other way. She was such a strong, steady, and reliable support throughout my long labor. She was calm, knowledgeable, and empathetic, anticipating my needs every step of the way. She is truly such a blessing and so good at what she does!

Brooke is an amazing doula! Having her at the birth of our second daughter truly gave us peace and comfort. She not only assisted me throughout labor and delivery with position changes, essential oils, birthing combs, taking pictures etc., but supported my husband throughout the process as well. I am forever grateful for the beautiful birth of my second daughter and Brooke played a huge part in making the experience everything we could have asked for and more! Brooke is so passionate and it is clear through her dedication to her clients alongside caring for her family full time and working from home. Don't hesitate to book Brooke as your doula! She is wonderful. Thank you Brooke!

I used Brooke as a postpartum doula for our third child. I never used a postpartum doula in the past, so I was a little nervous about the process. The first time I talked to Brooke on the phone and then met her in person, she immediately put me at ease and had such a calming presence! She is incredibly knowledgeable and provided great ideas, support and resources in the three months she worked with us. We will miss Brooke so much! She was a huge asset during those tough newborn nights!

Brooke was my doula for my oldest daughter 2 1/2 years ago. She was invaluable as both a friend and labor support. She was by my side through an incredibly long labor, anticipating every need that I had. She was there to help my husband have time to rest when he needed it, and she encouraged and advocated for me at my most vulnerable time. Besides my husband, she is the only other doula I would ever want to be beside me during my birth experiences. Brooke is compassionate, consistent, reliable, calm, and nurturing. She goes above and beyond to ensure that both mom and baby feel incredibly loved and cared for, and I would recommend her services to any mama in a heartbeat!

Brooke was an essential part of my first postpartum journey. Her knowledge and willingness to help were exactly what my husband & I needed. I highly recommend Brooke for your postpartum journey!

Brooke provided us with so much help as a postpartum doula, something I didn't know how much I needed until I really needed it! I remember texting her a few days after our baby was born to frantically ask her how to use a haaka, and she came over right away and showed me how, along with some other breastfeeding advice. Total life saver! In addition, most of my family and closer friends don't live close by, and sometimes you just need someone to hold the baby while you take a shower or a nap, which I took advantage of a lot when I was still on maternity leave but my husband returned to work. We had her over a couple of days every week for a while, which was such a huge help. Everyone says it takes a village to raise a baby, and she was definitely part of ours!
