Not So Boring Birth

Supporting You Through the Seasons
Pregnancy
From creating a sacred space for envisioning your birth to fostering emotional well-being. I would love to be by your side through every part of this transformative journey. With a focus on holistic care, I will help you navigate the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of this season, ensuring you feel safe, seen, supported and empowered each step of the way.
Birth
I firmly believe that every mother possesses a profound, primal knowledge of birthing, a connection to the innate ability to create, grow, and nourish life. Your body is sacred, carrying the wisdom to birth your baby on your own terms.
My love for helping other women embrace the innate power that lies within them runs deep.
Postpartum
Your hormones are recalibrating, your blood supply replenishing, and your physical body healing from the energy expended. This is the moment to prioritize rest, warmth, and allow the natural flow of oxytocin through gentle cuddles with your newborn. Let me help set you for success as you embrace this postpartum period as a sacred time for restoration and connection.
*In order to provide the intimate level of care I envision for my clients I only take on 1-2 births a month. If you are interested in working together it is best to reach out ahead of time, my availability is limited and typically booked out in advance.

Preparing for the 4th Trimester
Hiring a holistic postpartum doula offers new mothers a nurturing and supportive environment to honor the crucial "fourth trimester" and facilitate healing. With empathetic emotional support, gentle physical care, and guidance on nutrition and self-care, I help ensure mothers feel cocooned and cozy as they recover. Encouraging ample rest and bonding time, doulas help mothers prioritize their well-being and connection with their newborn. From assistance with household tasks to access to valuable educational resources that further alleviate stress and empower you to navigate the postpartum period with confidence. My goal is to provide comprehensive support that enables mothers to focus on their recovery and bonding journey, ensuring a smoother transition into parenthood.

Happy words from Happy mamas
"Having Brittany as my doula was one of the best things I could have asked for our labor and delivery. Although my labor and delivery did not go as planned, I felt entirely supported by Brittany and she was the first person I wanted to run to for advice or encouragement. She supported our family in so many ways and went above and beyond prior to labor staring, as well as checking in on our family after. During active labor Brittany was fighting with me and came prepared with so many little helpful gadgets to help me through contractions, not to mention the hip squeezes she was performing that were by far the most pain relieving thing at the time. Both my husband and I were so impressed with her and her ability to make us and our family feel safe." -Mia
The Power of
Believing in Yourself
There’s nothing that I would change about our time together. Brittany made herself available and was so supportive.
My husband and I really enjoyed the prenatal sessions we had with her before birth to practice different relaxation and pain coping techniques. I feel like we didn’t really use them much during birth but it brought us closer when I felt like we were in need of it. Breathing through contractions, focusing on my mental strength and Brittany’s hip squeezes are what served me the most throughout my labor.
Not to mention her postpartum visit was the best thing ever and I had no idea how much I needed it. The rest of my week ended up going awful so I think I would have been in a horrible mental place if you hadn’t been there that first day.”
Divine Intervention: VBAC
"After being told by the OB who preformed my first C-Section that my pelvis was too small to deliver my 6lb baby I doubted my body's ability to birth my next baby. I so desperately wanted to avoid a repeat C-Section and prayed God would give me a sign if a VBAC was in the cards. Because of my prior experience I wanted to birth in a hospital "just in case" and due to our insurance, I needed to go with a traditional OB. I knew my best bet of a VBAC in the hospital with an OB was to have a Doula on my side. In what I can only describe as divine intervention, I found Brittany and she agreed to take me on as a client. Brittany met me on my level and consistently provided me with resources to continue my education on natural birth. When my OB or the ultrasound tech would make comments that made me want to throw in the towel and sign up for another C-Section, Brittany would help me work through my fears and remind me of my goals. She truly is a God send. The day I earned my VBAC is one of the proudest days of my life, yet I know without Brittany it most likely wouldn't have happened. For 7 hours, Brittany laughed with me, cheered me on, kept me hydrated, massaged my back and cried tears of joy with me when my 9lb 1oz son entered this world-unmedicated. I wish every mom, especially those who have been mentally + physically abused by traditional practitioners, had a Brittany."
The depths that kindness reaches during this season is unforgettable.
“To the girl with the biggest heart, who always goes above and beyond for her people. So grateful to have had your support and encouragement when I needed it most through my redemptive homebirth. Don't know how I would have pushed through this trying season without you.” -Jenna
“I was unsure about using a doula at first, but I felt that I really needed some additional support since this was my first unmedicated and out of hospital birth. I am SO thankful that Brittany agreed to work with us! My expectations were blown away and her support was absolutely vital to my positive birth experience. I highly recommend Brittany if you are looking for the best birth experience!” -Kelci
Sometimes you just need someone extra in your corner to give you strength when the times get tough. Thanks for always being my ray of sunshine and lifting me up when I needed it most. Your support completely changed my birth experience for the better this time around and I'm forever thankful!
