Nurture Natal

We hired Brenlie to be our Doula for the birth of our son in May 2020. We booked Brenlie very last minute because we weren't sure if the hospital would allow Doula's during the pandemic. Given the last minute nature of our booking, Brenlie was extremely accommodating in fitting in all our appointments with her as quickly as possible as well as being on call right away.Brenlie is extremely professional, well researched and educated on the birthing process. I value that Brenlie is up to date on the latest research and given how much spam there is on the internet, Brenlie takes the time to gather in one source medically relevant and factual information to help inform the birthing process and make you feel empowered to make good decisions.Brenlie accompanied us while we labored at home for 24 hours prior to going to the hospital. During this time I found her presence invaluable. From helping me relax, to helping us eat labor appropriate foods, giving my husband some time to rest, and techniques to help with contractions and pain management. I also found it extremely helpful having her at triage with us navigating the hospital process as we had not been able to visit prior.Our birth became a bit complicated and ended in a c-section, Brenlie helped us to navigate and understand what was happening. We would speak with the doctor and then have conversations so that I could feel good about the direction things moved in. It was really special to me that Brenlie supported me with my choices around pain management and didn't make me feel badly for taking an epidural when it was time to get some rest and help with pain. She captured some incredible moments on camera for us that we will cherish forever.This past week, Brenlie came for our post-partum visit and it was amazing to see her interact with our little guy. She taught me special baby yoga and massage routines that I do with our loved one each morning. We plan to continue to use her for ongoing post natal sessions with the baby as he loved her presence so much.What I appreciate and value the most about Brenlie is her highly organized and professional approach to the Doula process - her attention to detail is flawless and overall created an extremely positive experience. I would highly recommend her.

We decided to bring a doula to our birth support team after a harrowing experience with our daughter’s birth a few years before—we wanted to come out of this birth feeling better. We instantly connected with Brenlie, and felt confident in her soothing manner and extensive knowledge.Brenlie’s prenatal sessions empowered us as we prepared for our son’s birth, and we felt confident in the decisions we made around our birth plan. Her use of clear, unintimidating language around the birth process put us at ease.When our son decided to join us a month early, and very quickly, Brenlie was right there with us and was a source of calm in the flurry of delivery room activity. We felt supported and cared for throughout our “official” time with her and look forward to staying connected with her. We’d recommend her in a heartbeat. (As a bonus: her baked goods are divine.)

Brenlie is an extraordinary doula. With a high level of experience and professionalism, Brenlie was incredibly helpful before, during and after the birth of my second daughter. Thanks to Brenlie's presence I was able to give birth in confidence, at home and in the water as I had planned.Brenlie is gentle, competent, very inspiring and has more than one trick up her sleeve. Between the acupressure points, the breathing techniques, the positions to place the baby optimally, the positive affirmations and the delicious cookies she brought us, her support greatly contributed to the success of my natural birth. The final touch, Brenlie made a beautiful photo/video gift truly heartwarming of the birth that we will keep for life.I can only recommend her, she was a rock for me and my partner. I am grateful for her kindness, her encouragement, her positivism and her presence.

Brenlie Nagy is an excellent doula with a wealth of experience and knowledge.Brenlie provided the support we needed and wanted before, during and after the birth or our little boy.  The prenatal sessions provided evidence-based information that we wanted to make informed decisions about our birth planning.During labour, Brenlie was a calm, experienced presence that supported us to have the birth experience that we wanted both before going to the hospital and once we arrived.Brenlie also went above and beyond following up with us after the birth and making sure we got a great start as a family.We really could not recommend someone more.

Working with Brenlie was hands-down the best decision we made for the birth of our son. As nervous first-time parents navigating pregnancy during COVID, Brenlie went above and beyond to ensure we embarked on this journey with confidence.Prior to birth, she walked us through her private prenatal course, equipping us with the right knowledge and resources to make informed decisions for our birth plan, based on what was right for our family. This was super helpful, as we did not need to sign up for any other prep courses and she was able to get to know us and our values on a deeper level.When the time came to finally meet our little one, Brenlie played an essential role in making the birth process as safe and comfortable as possible. We wanted to labour as much as we could at home before arriving at the hospital, and with Brenlie’s support, we were able to do just that. Once we arrived at the hospital, Brenlie immediately drew up the water for my water birth and within three hours, we had our little guy in our arms. Even our midwives remarked on how lucky we were to have landed such a great doula!If you’re looking for a kind and knowledgeable doula to support you and your family through pregnancy and beyond — I highly recommend connecting with Brenlie.

My husband and I were debating getting a doula for the birth of our first baby. I knew I wanted support for my pre-labour anxiety. That said , I also knew I wanted to give birth in the hospital (not a home birth). I initially had a story that doula's wouldn't support a more medical" delivery.  When we had our first consult with Brenlie

I highly recommend attending Brenlie’s prenatal yoga classes - not only are the classes full of stretches to prepare for labour, she also teaches valuable mantras and breathing techniques to use throughout labour. Brenlie is super knowledgeable about all things pregnancy and birth and has made me feel more prepared for my labour from just attending yoga classes.

Don't hesitate! Brenlie is a Blessing! If you want compassionate, loving, attentive care- you want Brenlie. First, she took us though her very comprehensive childbirth education course and provided us with lots of great resource, too. She very patiently answered all our questions and my husband and I felt so prepared and confident to welcome our baby. Then, when we needed her most (during our birth) she did not leave our side. She really was such a comfort to both me and my husband. After our baby girl was born she was right there for us again - helping me to learn how to breastfeed my baby, checking in on us...she even brought over the most delicious dinner! Lastly, (bonus), she is prenatal yoga teacher! I LOVED her prenatal yoga classes! Her prenatal yoga classes helped me to trust my body and to prepare physically and emotionally for my birth. I truly had the dream birth and Brenlie was such a huge part of making that happen. Now I'm looking forward to her baby & me yoga classes! Thank you Brenlie!

During a difficult time (Covid), Brenlie was everything to our family. She was more than a doula, she become our family too.We were originally reluctant to hire a doula, but after learning about all the statistical benefits, we decided to interview Brenlie. We couldn’t have made a better choice! Brenlie was the calm we needed, the experience we lacked, and the rock we relied on.Simply put, Brenlie went above and beyond all of our expectations in many ways. We could not have been happier with our decision to include Brenlie in our birth experience.
