Bio

Bri is a full-spectrum doula with a deep passion for birth work. Her journey began by supporting family and friends through pregnancy and breastfeeding long before she became certified. Eight years later, she officially stepped into doula work, and for the past 3.5 years, she has been honored to serve families professionally.

As a full-spectrum doula, Bri supports families through both birth and the postpartum period. Her clients often describe her as knowledgeable, patient, nurturing, respectful, reliable, and emotionally present. She is confident and eager to walk alongside families during this incredible life transition.

Her passion grew from her own experiences—facing pregnancy fears and birth trauma with her first child, and listening to countless women share similar stories. She noticed a common theme: too many women, especially in marginalized communities, face a lack of knowledge and support around pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum care. This gap often leads to unnecessary birth trauma, and it inspired her to step into this work.

While Bri originally imagined attending mostly home births, she quickly recognized the urgent need for advocacy in hospital settings—where most birth trauma occurs. Her mission is to educate, advocate, and provide both emotional and physical support, giving clients the confidence they need to make the best decisions for themselves and their babies.

When she is not supporting families, Bri is raising her two sons (ages 9 and 11), cheering from the sidelines as a soccer mom, dancing, making TikToks, and running her handmade bath and body business. She also homeschooled her children for over three years. She loves staying busy, living life fully, and pouring into others.
