About Britney

At Birth by Brit I believe that birth and feeding should feel supported, empowered, and even a little magical. I’m here for you to be there every step of the way from pregnancy, birth and beyond with non-judgmental and evidence based care. My business is led by me, a nurse, lactation counselor, and parent who knows the beauty and chaos of this season firsthand. I have been an OB nurse for the past 7 years, a lactation counselor the last 4 years and a mom of 2. I lead with compassion and have a strong belief in tailoring your care to YOU and your individual needs. My philosophy is that education is empowerment. I fully believe that feeling prepared and educated early on brings such a sense of calm and control your birthing space. I proudly serve all birthing people and families, honoring every identity, body, and background with inclusive care. I offer both virtual and in person services to be able to support families with a variety of budgets

After feeling dismissed and intimidated into making decisions against my better judgment during my first birth, I knew I wanted a different experience the second time and specifically sought out advocacy--hiring Britt as my doula was one of the best decisions I made. From the beginning, she was incredibly relatable and easy to talk to, taking the time to truly understand my preferences, concerns, and goals. Her background as a former high-risk RN, combined with her doula training, gave me so much confidence. She explained things clearly, helped me make informed decisions, and always made sure I felt heard and respected. No matter what questions or worries I had, she met them with patience and reassurance. Even though my birth didn't go as planned and ended in an unplanned C-section, Britt's support never wavered. She was a steady, calming presence throughout and helped me feel empowered and cared for every step of the way. I'm so grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly supportive doula. During such a vulnerable time where appointments can feel impersonal and too "routine", it was such a blessing to feel/know that someone really genuinely cared about me, my pregnancy and by baby!

I cannot recommend Brit highly enough. I found her at 36 weeks when I realized I had a lot of anxiety about giving birth in a hospital setting, and she completely transformed my experience. Brit took the time to thoroughly educate me about all the potential interventions I might encounter at the hospital, which helped me feel informed and prepared rather than fearful. During my 29-hour labor, she was there for nearly the entire time, providing steady, calm support exactly when I needed it most. What made Brit truly exceptional was how she empowered both my husband and me to advocate for ourselves. When we needed to request a change in our attending nurse, she helped us navigate that conversation. She guided us in understanding what kinds of support and interventions were right for us, always centering my preferences and comfort. Having Brit on my team made all the difference—I felt like an active participant in my own birth rather than something happening to me. She helped me reclaim my birth experience and feel confident in my choices. If you're looking for a doula who will educate, support, and empower you through one of life's most intense experiences, Brit is your woman!

Britney supported me through my entire pregnancy, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Even though this wasn’t my first pregnancy, I had countless questions and concerns and Britney was there for every single one. She never made me feel like my questions didn’t matter. Instead, she answered them thoroughly, kindly, and always in a timely manner. Beyond her incredible guidance during pregnancy, Britney was also a huge help with breastfeeding. She shared so many tips and tricks that gave me the confidence to start my breastfeeding journey successfully. During labor, Britney was by my side every step of the way like checking in, reassuring me, and making sure I felt supported. You don’t truly realize how much you need that kind of support until you have it, and Britney provided exactly that. I would recommend Britney to every pregnant woman I meet. She is truly an angel!
