Brenda Marlin

About me

​​​​As a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Parenting Educator, I believe my calling is to help families find their own unique path to parenthood. A mother and stepmom myself, I offer an open heart and a listening ear – along with my extensive training – to provide nurturing, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and inclusive care and education for all kinds of families. Based upon your family’s personal needs and values, I will help you create your perfect birth team, tap into your own strength and voice, and feel empowered to make the best choices for yourself and your growing family. I believe the childbearing year – before, during, and after the birth event – is an awesome opportunity to bring joy and light into the world and into your life. My mission and my passion is delivering that experience for you and your family through custom, private childbirth classes, parenting education, birth doula and postpartum doula support.
