“Berlin carries with her an air of peace and tranquility - even when the world is chaotic around her. She’s a great person to be around in times of stress or uncertainty. The bigger thing that made her such a phenomenal doula and support was her active listening and adaptability. There wasn’t a question or challenge that I could bring to Berlin that she shied away from. Even if I told her I was probably making too big a thing of something - I could be assured she would present me with a potential exercise, research into similar experiences, or a kind word and a laugh that would help ease my anxiety over the situation. 

The reassurance she offered didn’t feel cookie cutter - and she was never dismissive of my concerns. Most importantly, if Berlin didn’t understand a need - she clarified and she sometimes offered solutions knowing I may say they weren’t what I needed. She was a fearless supporter who felt more like a sister through the process than someone doing work.”
