I found Beth in the last few weeks of the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy with my 3rd daughter, and she changed everything for me! She made me feel safe and supported from the moment we spoke over the phone! She was knowledgeable and professional, but she also made me feel like we were lifelong friends! When it came time for my delivery, Beth was incredible! She helped keep me focused and as calm as possible during contractions and she held the hospital staff accountable to my birth plan wishes. She also created us a beautiful gift after the birth of our little girl, she made us a digital birth story, it was such a touching recount of the entire evening! I would recommend her to anyone having a baby! She is the most amazing doula!

I strongly recommend having a doula present at your birth and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Beth Brooks with Life On Purpose Doulas. She is so amazing with helping bring your baby into the world. She is kind, loving, understanding, knowledgeable, and flexible. She listened to my wants, wishes, and concerns and was able to advocate for me acting in my best interest. We had her as a birth and postpartum doula when our 3rd born and I believe with all my heart that her guidance was the reason I didn’t get postpartum depression again. She was great with my husband (didn’t take the place of him and encouraged his support during the birth) as well as with my other kids- the whole family loved her! I whole heartedly believe in having a doula and Beth is truly incredible. 🙌🏽 We will love and appreciate her forever.

I was looking for a doula who could offer not only professional guidance to help me navigate birth and cope with labor without an epidural, as naturally as possible, but also someone who could advocate for me and my baby and be a warm, reassuring companion.
Going through pregnancy away from home and without the moral support of my family, I needed that emotional support more than I can express. Beth gave me exactly that. She has this incredible warmth that made me feel, “I’ve got you.” From the very beginning, she gave me confidence, comfort, and a sense that I wasn’t going through this alone.
Beyond her big heart and the warmth she brings, Beth is also incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. I always felt safe, heard, and relaxed with her and that is so important during one of the most stressful, exciting, and life-changing experiences you can go through.
I’m so grateful to have had Beth by my side and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for not just a doula, but someone who truly cares about you and your baby.

I can’t recommend my doula enough!!! As a single mom, having her with me during my birth was incredibly important and made such a difference. She was always present, calm, and very attentive. What stood out the most was how well she could anticipate my needs. Many times, she would notice that I was tired, uncomfortable, or needed something before I even had to ask. She seemed to always be one step ahead and knew exactly when to step in and help.
She also communicated really well with me and the hospital staff, and everyone on the unit seemed to love her. I always felt supported and cared for, and I never felt like I was going through the experience alone.
I’m so grateful I had her by my side and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!

If I could give this review a thousand stars I would! It is hard to put into words how much Beth changed my life and my labor. I feel like she was the missing piece in my first 2 births and I can't express enough how much gratitude I have for her being there for me! My favorite part, hands down, was the look she gave yhe staff in my room when they started questioning me about things that were clearly outlined in my birth plan. I felt like I had a body guard in my corner! She was able to keep me centered during some of my weakest moments and lifted my spirits during the whole process! I would highly recommend Life on Purpose Doulas to anyone expecting to have a baby! Thank you for everything Beth!

Beth was a true BLESSING! I live in Utah and she was able to give me guidance and support virtually. She was available every time I needed her and helped ease my mind and anxiety with all the doctor jargon. She walked me through all the different out comes and scenarios since I was having delivery complications, and it felt like I had an actual say in my birth plan. Beth was even kind enough to follow up with me weeks down the road to check in on my recovery and how everything else was going. I highly recommend Beth even for Virtual assistance, it was the best decision I had made.
— Stacey Squibb
Beth was truly a blessing and my birth story would have been a lot different had it not been for her. She from the very beginning was so patient and kind with all of my questions and was always there to support me and my husband in any way we needed. When it came time to give birth I wish we had called her in sooner. The second Beth got to the hospital the whole atmosphere changed. I went from being ignored when I mentioned how I was feeling and what I was experiencing to Beth getting there and the nurses taking everything a lot more seriously. I truly believe Beth was the deciding factor on me getting as close to my dream birth as possible. She gave me and my husband so many resources during pregnancy and helped us practice different positions and distraction techniques during our practice birth and postpartum she did not leave the hospital until me and my husband were comfortable and confident in tackling our first night as parents. The memories (pictures/written birth story) that Beth was able to give us (as a super sentimental person) is irreplaceable and I cannot thank her enough. We will definitely be messaging her if/when we get pregnant again and I cannot recommend her enough!!

Nothing but good things to say throughout the whole experience. Skeptical is the word best described by how I felt when we first started this process, and Beth was very informative and thorough about how we could navigate this process together. She went above and beyond on the day our daughter Margo was born. Had she not been there, I think things would’ve gone differently for my wife in ways of affecting her health and safety. And for that I’m forever grateful in more ways than I could express. Would do it over again and again in a heartbeat. Thank you

I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through my pregnancy and birth without Beth. She was one of the greatest gifts during such an important and vulnerable season of my life.
From pregnancy on, Beth brought me an incredible sense of calm, comfort, and reassurance. She always knew exactly what to say, when to encourage me, and when I simply needed someone steady beside me. I never felt judged, rushed, or like any question was too small. She made me feel heard, supported, and so much more confident going into birth.
And then on the day I had my baby, she was everything. She was with me through the entire experience and somehow brought this calm energy into the room that made me feel safe even during the hardest moments. She knew how to support me physically, emotionally, and mentally, and she also knew when to step in and advocate, when to guide, and when to simply be there. Having her by my side brought me so much peace.
There are people who are simply meant to do what they do, and Beth is one of those people. Her presence, compassion, knowledge, and ability to make you feel cared for are so special. She didn’t just feel like my doula. She felt like someone who genuinely cared about me, my baby, and our entire experience.
I will forever be grateful that Beth was part of Brooks’ birth story. When I look back on that day, she is such a meaningful part of what made me feel supported, strong, and cared for. If you are considering having a doula, I cannot recommend Beth enough. I would choose her again a thousand times over.

Beth helped me adjust to postpartum life for several weeks by doing dishes, laundry, baby care, meal prep, and tidying/organizing. Most importantly, she spent time with me and was very easy to talk to. She's very warm and authentic.
— Jennifer Oldemeyer
Beth was such a special part of my birth experience, and I’m incredibly grateful I had her by my side. From the very beginning, she was very compassionate, caring, and completely present. She seemed to anticipate what I needed before I even knew how to ask for it, and her calm presence and thoughtful communication made me feel truly supported.
Birth is such a vulnerable and emotional experience, and having someone who genuinely cares and is fully there with you makes such a difference. I will always remember the comfort and reassurance Beth gave me during such an important moment in my life. I’m so thankful for her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
— Diana Goia
Beth absolutely 100% made our birth experience better! She is kind, understanding and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to support me with complications that came up at the end of my pregnancy. I ended up needing to get induced at 37 weeks. This was not the birth preferences we had but she helped with the adjustment and in the end we brought home a beautiful healthy baby boy!!! Thanks Beth!
— Libby Hruska
She is THE BEST DOULA! I don’t say that lightly, she brought so much light/comfort/intentionality when we had to transition from one doula to another during the last trimester of our pregnancy. She showed up and showed out, highly recommended!! We love Beth and would definitely work with her again and recommend her to anyone we know.
— Nicole Otaola
It's important for the dads out there (or dads-to-be) to understand the significant value that Beth brings to the experience: If this birth is your first, it's hard to know what exactly the "right" support is supposed to look like at a given moment (there is a lot to remember, after all), and if it's your third (as it was for this dad) the extra care and attention present-in spite of it being a familiar process-meant a richer and more focused one for what we expected to be our last pregnancy. Ultimately, whether you're an anxious newbie or seasoned vet, having a coach in the room (who is NOT also your laboring wife-trust me fellas, you do not want that...) means that mom feels heard, dad feels led, and needless stress is kept to an absolute minimum. Beth's sweet, caring, and consultative demeanor will surely equip any expectant couple with the tools to enter their next chapter with poise and a strong sense of direction. In addition, Beth's postpartum care was exquisite, and one could argue that it's as important for the dads as it is for the moms. Thank you, Beth!
— Alex Fehrman
I absolutely loved our mommy and me session! Beth made us feel so comfortable, capturing the sweetest moments between me and my little guy. The photos are beautiful and something I will treasure forever.
— Emily Adkins
Beth was so amazing! She was at my sister's birth, and we couldn't be more than thankful. Peaceful presence, gentle, in tune with what my sister needed. Will definitely be recommending her to my friends!
— Laura Rose
We used Beth Brooks as our birth doula and had a perfect experience. She helped me through labor and acted as another advocate for me while at the hospital in order to have the natural birth I wanted. She showed my husband how he could be more involved and I couldn't have made it through without her help. We also have hired her as a postpartum doula and it has been amazing! I was afraid I would develop postpartum depression again but with Beth around I don't see that happening this time. She has been so helpful not only with the baby but also with our other kids, helping around the house, and giving both my husband and I a break to feel a little bit more like ourselves again. We feel so comfortable with her! She is a pleasure to talk to and we consider her family now.

5 stars isn’t nearly enough for what an amazing doula Beth is. She is not only knowledgeable, supportive, caring, and kind but she also empowered both my husband and I throughout the pregnancy and birth of our first child. She gave us an idea of what to expect, provided skills which helped us get through some common birthing experiences, assisted us in managing unexpected issues which arose, and surrounded us with a sense of calm as we experienced all these unknowns for the first time. She also was an amazing support after the birth as we navigated our first few weeks with a newborn and continues to be a person I know I can reach out to, even as we enter into our 4th month. If you have the opportunity to have Beth as a doula, you are truly lucky. I highly recommend her and cannot stress that enough!
