Little Bean Doula Services

Why doesn’t Unilocal allow more stars? As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I told my husband and then called Britney — in that order. From the beginning her tips and knowledge were invaluable. Her support regarding my questions about my doctor visits– Priceless. I felt so prepared. Then I took her Hypnobirthing class, and learned a ton! At a crucial moment in the hospital, the room was filled with worried nurses and doctors. I was so out of it — the baby’s heart rate dropped so low. All I remember hearing was Britney’s calm voice repeating to me — talk to your baby… Breath. And it’s exactly what I did, and the baby’s heart rate came up! It was so reassuring. My husband and I are so grateful that we had Britney’s support as our doula. It helped is in so many ways. We are already planning for another and look forward to having Britney with us again. She was amazing.

Britney brought so many positive elements to our birthing experience, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Doula. Her strength, knowledge and good energy helped us achieve the natural birth we had hoped for. Throughout our planning meetings Britney provided us with valuable insight and tangible advice that allowed us to identify our intention and the path to get there. During our birth she was everything that we needed her to be, strong when we needed strong and calm when we needed to calm. She was a Shaman by my side helping me navigate through the physical and mental labyrinth of labor. We are so grateful for everything she contributed to our experience, she will always be a special part of the memory!

If you are on the fence about getting a doula — go for it. If your doula is anything like Britney it’s sooooo worth it!
We called Britney to come when active labor got going. By the time she showed up my husband and I’s pain management strategies were already breaking down and things were still ramping up. As amazing and supportive as my husband was you can only hear the same type of encouragement for so long before you start tuning it out! Britney had so many tricks to both minimize the pain and keep me distracted. The positioning, making good use of the bed, ball, and other tools in the room. Plus the advice on how to push (hold it instead of several separate pushes I had been doing) was invaluable and hadn’t come up in our birth class. She was a key part in making through the birth unmedicated. As far as the support before the main event and in early labor Britney was super helpful there too. We ended up at the hospital during early labor due to concerns about the baby’s heart rate. Britney was available by phone to help us process this development and understand our options. We pushed back in inducing and figured out that there was an error in our record. Once the hospital staff has the right info they calmed down. Having Britney to provide a second opinion was invaluable.

Being our first baby, hubby and I were pretty scared. We had decided in getting a doula and when Britney mentioned in conversation that she is also a Hypnobirth instructor, we bought personal lessons from her as well. (Hypnobirthing was amazing and I wouldn’t do it any other way.)
Britney was very professional but also a person a felt comfortable with since the beginning. Hubby and I agree, we don’t know how we would have done it without her.
I labored at Mary Birch. the first thing I need to make clear about this doula is that she will put in the time! In the 26^th hour, when everyone including me had taken naps, she was wide awake, energetic despite being tired, and with a very positive attitude.
Britney was there when I needed her, with some water, a helpful massage, or for a chat between contractions.
She made it easier to get and be comfortable at the hospital since she helped get the things I wanted from the nurses and even pushed for the things they put up resistance to, for example I was able to get in the shower on two occasions.
Now I have a beautiful and healthy baby. We are very thankful for the role Britney played in preparing us for birth and during birth itself.

I was pretty far into my pregnancy when I decided I wanted a doula and I’m so glad I decided to find one! I got in touch with Britney via my doctor and it was the best thing I could’ve done for my labor.
I called her at like 4 in the morning (poor thing lol) to tell her I was feeling some contractions. She was super calm and supportive over the phone and we decided I’d call her when things were moving a tad more. I ended up calling her a few hours later and she came over shortly after.
She spent the day massaging me, talking to me, calming me, feeding me, supporting my husband and helping me through every surge. It was a huge plus that she is well versed in hypo birthing which is one of the reasons I chose her. By mid afternoon when I was feeling things weren’t progressing as fast as I’d like, she had some techniques up her sleeve to speed things up. And they worked! A few minutes later my water broke and I chose to start heading to the hospital. Once we arrived, things got quite intense for me but there Britney was, supporting me and my husband every step of the way. She even took a few photos of the birth so my husband could stay closer to me. An hour and a half after arriving, baby was in my arms.
Both my husband and I have said the day wouldn’t have gone nearly as smoothly without her. I’m grateful she was there. OH! And it was her birthday! I felt terrible I called her in to work on her birthday (she never made me feel bad about it at ALL) but now she and my little one share their special day! I highly recommend her and would call her again if I had another baby.

Britney was a wonderful, supportive, informative doula who helped make my birth experience exactly what I wanted. She is a loving, confident soul and a joy to be around. I highly recommend her doula services.

Britney was my doula ⁵⁄₂₀₁₅. She was prompt, professional and pleasant to be around. She intuitively knew what I needed for my entire labor. This was my third baby and she was the perfect team mate for me and my husband. I made it through a 36 hour induction without any pain medication. I had my professional camera in the room and asked that when my husband was doing pain relief measure that she would take some photos on auto. She took an incredible photo of my daughter being born into my hands. Something I will cherish my whole life. My favorite memory of her was when I was so exhausted that I crawled into bed which made the contractions much more intense. She asked if she could lay by me and we spooned on my hospital bed as she rocked my hips with each contraction. I was so relaxing and soothing that I fell asleep for hours only slightly waking with each contraction. My husband was able to get some sleep too. That has NEVER happened with any of my labors. I truly felt like she was a soul sister carrying me through the night. My husband and I woke up with energy to continue on for several hours until my daughter was born. I don’t think anyone should labor without a doula. Britney is an excellent choice.

Britney was our Doula in 2012 when our daughter was born and I, being a dude, had never even heard of this «doula» voodoo. Thought it was a music genre for all I know! Anyway… she opened our eyes to so many useful options and ideas with regards to our birth plan. She’s incredibly well educated in her field and wants YOU to have the best birthing experience YOU want to have. No hidden agendas, just facts, compassion and empathy. Love this girl to pieces! It’s a shame I’m not having anymore children because she’s a massage therapist too and you know, giving birth is just as hard on the dad as it is on the mom…
