Meet Your Doula
Hi, Iām Brianna! I am a doula in the beautiful state of Washington serving Thurston and Pierce Counties. I love pregnancy, birth, and motherhood! I became passionate about birth work after the birth of my first son. When I was postpartum, I realized how underwhelmed I was with the care I received during my entire experience. Then I realized it was pretty much the standard of care for almost every woman I knew! I could not believe the only follow up I had postpartum was at 6 weeks and that was it, that was the conclusion of my care.
I knew I wanted a more personal experience with my next pregnancy. I found a provider I liked and gave birth in a birth center and it was truly a night and day difference! I went on to have two more babies at a different birth center with a wonderful LM. I have felt a pull to bridge the gap in care for other birthing women in my community regardless of where or how they want to birth. All of us deserve to know we have options, all of us deserve education and real conversations surrounding pregnancy, the birthing process, and what to expect postpartum. We all need more love, care, and connection during this transformational time and the care should not stop just because the baby is born. I want to make sure women in any birthing environment feel supported so that is why I became a doula!
When I am not focusing on birth work I am likely outside somewhere with all 4 of my kids in tow. I love exploring the PNW and sharing it with my babies! I feel lucky to live in such a beautiful place. When I am home, I am probably cooking, gardening, learning a new craft/art skill or homeschooling.
