Hi, I’m Brittany — a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist with over a decade of experience supporting children and families. My journey began as a nanny, walking alongside little ones through milestones like sleep shaping, potty training, and fostering independence. Over time, I felt called to serve families in the postpartum season — a tender window where parents deserve both expert care and compassionate support. My philosophy is rooted in gentle rhythms and responsive care. I believe parents thrive when they feel seen, equipped, and never alone — and I count it a privilege to come alongside families during such an important chapter. Whether it’s offering overnight newborn support, guiding recovery in the early weeks, or helping toddlers adjust to new siblings, my goal is always to create a foundation of rest, confidence, and peace. Outside of work, you can usually find me exploring local markets, seashell hunting along the Carolina coast, enjoying a good cup of coffee, or spending time with my two dogs, Peaches and Pepperoni. Those little joys keep me grounded, and I bring that same warmth and presence into the homes I serve.

I was blessed to attend my first birth at 18 and loved being a support for my friend. At that time in life, I didn’t know what a doula was or even that this was a career. After that experience, I was blessed to attend several births, including c-sections, and have helped several people with lactation right after birth. No matter what stage of pregnancy, I am a safe space for you. My business is evidence and experience-based. I am not here to give you medical advice, but I am passionate about education and knowledge. From 2018-2023 I had the opportunity to nurture and love babies from 0 to 24m in foster care. I brought several babies home from the hospital and was blessed to help them through their first few months, showing them what it means to be heard, supported, and loved. My role is to support families during the pre- and post-birth processes, regardless of the outcome. I feel called to this line of work and am excited to connect with you. I desire that your birth and postpartum decisions are based on facts and knowledge, not on fear or persuasion from medical professionals or the internet. I am excited to serve be serving, Wake, Johnston, & Wayne County with education and support during one of the biggest experiences of your life.
