Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Hagerstown, MD

It has been an incredible privilege to work with new families, helping them ensure a positive start and reach their full potential as a family unit. As your postpartum doula, I will be your reliable companion, guiding you through this transformative journey. Together, we will identify your child’s needs and learn effective ways to care for your new baby and yourself. Before becoming a doula, I dedicated 17 years of my life to teaching early childhood. During this time, I managed a classroom of infants and toddlers, balancing my care for the infants with curriculum development for preschool-aged children. I had the privilege of meeting and working with many young families navigating this new phase of life, which fueled my passion for providing more direct support to these new families. I am honored to bring my extensive experience to the families I now serve as a doula. I consider myself a mentor to these new parents, empowering them to find the tools and techniques to make their first days and weeks with their new baby as comfortable as possible. Additionally, I am trained in infant soothing and calming techniques, and I hold CPR and First Aid Certification, ensuring that I can provide the best possible care for infants under my care. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to assist you in having the best possible start as a new family.

For the past ten years, she has supported families throughout Baltimore and the DMV area as a Full-Spectrum Doula, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Educator, and Lactation Counselor.

Noticing the weight it lifted from overwhelmed and exhausted parents, she decided to lean in and offer these services exclusively to expectant and newly postpartum parents. Additionally, Brittany continues to teach childbirth education courses to help parents equip themselves with the knowledge to make informed choices.
