At Birth by Brit I believe that birth and feeding should feel supported, empowered, and even a little magical.

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!

Hi, I’m Chloe Morin. Mother of two, a bonus mom of one, and now, a birth and postpartum doula. My journey into motherhood has shaped me in ways I never expected, revealing both the beauty and the deep vulnerability of bringing life into the world. I believe there are two moments in life when heaven meets earth—marriage and birth. Birth is raw, powerful, and life-changing, and no woman should have to navigate it alone. My passion is to stand with women in one of the most vulnerable times of their lives, offering support, advocacy, and a steady presence, no matter what their journey looks like. Beyond birth, I am dedicated to postpartum care that truly nurtures. The fourth trimester is just as important as birth itself, and every mother deserves care that honors her healing—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My goal is simple: to ensure women feel supported, seen, and strong in this transformative season of life. I would be honored to walk this journey with you.

Hands down the best doula I could have asked for! I’ve had 2 births without a doula and decided to have one for my 3rd birth. Previously I had epidurals and wanted to try a natural birth. I was able to voice my desires with Chloe and she truly gave me the courage to do it. My labor intensified so quick from early labor to transition within an hour. By the time I made it to the hospital I was already in transition, Chloe showed and immediately started doing whatever she could to help ease the pain and my inexperience with labor pains. She truly was such an essential voice in the room, it was truly the only voice I could focus on. I knew she was there for me and knew she was going to encourage me the whole way through. She truly has been such an answered prayer to all my fears and helped me through natural labor! I honestly could not imagine any other doula with me. She’s been so supportive in pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She’s calm and relaxing yet cheerful and uplifting lifting. Coming from a medical background myself I can honestly say she really is the best combination of medicine meets natural. She’s willing to lean alongside whatever goals you’re looking for in birth! Thank you Chloe, I honestly couldn’t imagine going through that labor without you!

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I am a Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Birth Story Listener. I felt called to work with birth as a young adult, and love helping folks prepare for and navigate their birth journeys, as well as their relationship to their birth stories. My goal is to help birthing people find an empowered way through whatever comes up for them, and for them to feel supported and seen throughout the process. I also enjoy homeschooling my kids, teaching theater classes, singing in my community choir, and working for a local organic farm at the farmers market in Claremont!

I worked with Stephanie prenatally, during labor/delivery, and postpartum too. She was wonderful to work with, a great listener, guided me and my husband well through what we could expect with having our first child, supported me through my various anxieties, and really showed up for us during labor. She was a vital advocate for me while I was at the hospital. She is knowledgable about Spinning Babies (and has received their training), did a visualization exercise with my husband and I in thinking about the unknowns of parenthood and embracing all that was to come, and she was ready and prepared to support us when she came to the hospital. She supported me emotionally and physically through early labor and all the various interventions that became necessary because I was not dilating and my labor was not progressing. Loved working with Stephanie and would recommend her to anyone for support during the birth or new mom phase of life.

Hello! My name is Lindsey am a Certified Postpartum Doula located in Huntington Beach CA. I am also a Lactation Educator and Infant Nanny. I am married and a mother of two teenage boys . I love animals and reading. My passion is mothering the mother during the postpartum time through nutrition, care, and non judgmental emotional support.

We are so grateful to have had Lindsey as our night nanny during the first six weeks postpartum. Bringing home a newborn can feel overwhelming, but Lindsey gave us such a sense of calm and confidence from the very beginning. She was incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and knowledgeable, which made it so much easier for us to rest knowing our baby was in such capable hands overnight. One of the things we appreciated most was her support with breastfeeding. Lindsey was patient, encouraging, and full of practical advice that helped make the process far less stressful during those early weeks. Her guidance and reassurance were invaluable, especially during the middle-of-the-night feedings when emotions and exhaustion can run high. Beyond her expertise, Lindsey was warm, kind, and truly cared about both our baby and our wellbeing as new parents. She made such a positive impact on our postpartum experience, and we honestly can’t imagine those first weeks without her support. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lindsey to any family looking for an exceptional doula or night nanny.

After my son's birth, I was reeling from how well my birth journey went. I heard so many horror stories from friends and family about how their birthing days went. I was appalled for them. Most were pushed around by hospital staff, forced into unnecessary c-sections or just completely unaware of what options they had! I became determined to be an advocate for women who want to feel validated and that they can birth the way they choose. I want to be able to provide a beautiful experience, to anyone who desires it. Having my son empowered me to help other women have the birth of their dreams. I strive for a smooth, calm process, free from stress, judgement and fear. Whether it be at home, a birth center or hospital, all natural, medicated or planned c-sections, I believe that women should be able to do things their own way. Because each and every woman, birth and baby is different, I take pride in supporting you, however you choose to proceed. Hospitals can get confusing, nurses/OB's can get impatient, let me be your advocate through this journey. Let me help you, do you. Let's birth the way that you want.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Betsy!! I found Betsy in my late second trimester and immediately felt like she was the perfect fit for my first childbirth experience. I had no idea what to expect from the experience, but I really wanted someone in the delivery room who was familiar with my needs and who could both help me with the birthing process and could help advocate for my wishes and priorities in the hospital environment. As a medical student, I both know way too much about everything that can go wrong in childbirth and came to the experience with a lot of anxiety. Betsy did an amazing job of helping me navigate my feelings and eased my many many worries throughout my pregnancy without ever making me feel like a burden. When my labor began, Betsy was available and ready for whatever I needed. While my labor looked absolutely nothing like I had prepared for, and the plan was very quickly abandoned, Betsy easily met the challenges of the new situation and provided tremendous support. We are so grateful for Betsy and we look forward to working with her again in the future
