Hi friends, my name is Britt or Brittany (she/her/ella), and I am a Full Spectrum Doula and Placenta Encapsulator based in Los Angeles. My paths in women's wellness and reproductive justice have led me to a passionate career in birth work. I believe birth is vulnerable & sacred and should be protected as so. My goal is to provide individualized care to be a trusted safe space for all birthing bodies and assist you in the amplification of your personal power while you journey to bring your baby earthside.

I believe in sacredness of coming into parenthood and want to protect it, so that it can unfold in an undisturbed way, as much as possible, and this includes pregnancy, birth, and the ever-so- vulnerable postpartum period. I also believe that the birthing person is the only one who has the authority to make decisions about their body and their baby because I know that those decision will be the best ones for them at that given moment. This leaves no space for judgment; only support and respect.
