About Bridget

Bridget is the founder and owner of Abundant Joy. With a passion for working with and advocating for people of all ages and backgrounds, she has taught in the public school system, assisted in resettling refugees, counseled trafficked women, and has worked to raise well-rounded, healthy children in her role as a professional nanny. With over 21 years of experience caring for children and providing education and support to the parents she worked alongside, many of Bridget’s close friends requested her support during their birth. Bridget was often asked to stay overnight to provide friends with her steady, upbeat, and positive presence–in their living room or in a hospital room. These long nights allowed her to listen to the birthing mamas, help them sort out what their goals and options were, and allowed Bridget to advocate for them to make sure they felt comfortable and had their needs met. Bridget has found that women have more positive birth outcomes when a doula is present throughout labor and delivery. These experiences made it clear to Bridget that her talents and passion lie in doula work. Birth is unpredictable by nature, and Bridget has worked with single moms, families, and teams of medical professionals in order to help parents to be present in the moment. Incorporating the baby’s father throughout the entire process leads to a successful team effort where both mom and dad feel connected to the baby–from the very beginning to the birth. She believes that women can feel confident and empowered during their birth experiences with the right kind of unbiased support and knowledge. Bridget provides guidance through evidence-based education, as well as encouragement and compassion throughout the birth journey. From her varied and deep experiences working with parents and their children, Bridget is adept at helping parents navigate postpartum schedules and transitions. She also assists the mother with her newborn as she heals and adapts to life with a new baby. Looking forward to being a part of your joyful birth! Bridget has extensive experience supporting families in hospitals, birth centers, and home births. She is skilled in supporting mothers with Vaginal Births, VBACS, Cesareans, high-risk pregnancies, stillbirths, and twin births. "The joy of the Lord is my strength." Nehemiah 8:10

Had such a wonderful experience with Bridget as my doula. She is a fabulous resource and helped me through any questions, doubts, or fears I was having about my birth. She creates a wonderful and calm atmosphere when you need it most.

We are beyond happy and grateful for Bridget’s dula services. We are first time parents and had no idea what to expect during the birth of our daughter. Bridget provides information and techniques on how to manage labor. She made us feel safe and heard. We had an amazing experience with our team Seven Oaks women’s center at Methodist Hospital who Bridget recommended. Without her knowledge and recommendations we may have not had such a great experience.

Bridget was amazing! She supported me through labor with calm and care, ensuring my birth plan and preferences were respected. I felt heard, safe, and empowered the whole time. Her postpartum support was also incredible, making those first days so much easier. Bridget shows up with her whole heart, and having her by my side made an unforgettable difference in my birth and postpartum experience.
