The postpartum experience can be an unpredictable one, full of ups and downs, and many questions. My goal is to make sure families are set up for success, feel confident in the weeks after baby’s birth, and to provide a grounding presence during this big life change.
LET'S CONNECT
My passion for postpartum support care came after having my first baby in 2018, and realizing that I had spent a great deal of time prepping for the birth, but not for the days and weeks after. Oftentimes after birth, the majority of the focus is on the baby, and it can be hard to prioritize your own needs. As a postpartum doula, I am there to work alongside the family and provide nurturing care to the new parents as they care for their new baby. I completed my postpartum doula training in April 2023 and have been pursuing further education to provide a holistic support experience.
I am a native Seattleite, and enjoy exploring all the city has to offer with my husband, two kids, and dog. In my free time, you can find me reading, cooking, or sewing my own clothes.
I had the pleasure of meeting Brittany through another doula I was matched with via the postpartum doula services at Expecting Joy. Initially, she was meant to fill in during times when our main doula was unavailable, but after getting to know her, she quickly became our primary support. Both of them were amazing, but Brittany has a wonderfully uplifting personality that truly shines. She embraced every challenge and task with enthusiasm, providing invaluable support for my newborn, toddler, and me as I recovered from my C-section. She took on our evening schedule, and my toddler would often ask if Brittany was coming over, which speaks volumes about the connection they formed.
With great care, Brittany tended to our little one, helping with naps, baths, holding/calming her, cooking meals for me, managing laundry, and ensuring our toddler felt loved and engaged through playtime. Our time with Brittany was nothing short of amazing, and she will always hold a special place in our memories as a vital part of my postpartum journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend Brittany to any moms or moms-to-be. As a mother herself, she brings a level of understanding and trust that is invaluable in a postpartum doula.
