Britney is absolutely amazing!! We decided to use her virtual option for feedback and preparation for our second kiddo. Trying for a VBAC I had so many questions and concerns. She gave us all the needed materials, helped with birth plan creation and was always available via text or phone. My mind was put at ease ??. We couldn't of asked for a better experience to prepare for out little girl!

Britney was a super valuable asset during our birthing journey! She made sure that we were fully informed about what to expect when going into labor for the first time and during our stay at the hospital. She made sure that I had a complete birthing plan ready and knew what to expect from the hospital staff during the process.

She stayed with us in the hospital for  the full 15 hours from the moment we were admitted into the labor room until we time we were sent to postpartum care. Having her there really helped us talk through and understand the context and impact of the decisions that we were making to ensure that I had the birthing experience that I wanted. 

Britney was also a huge help when visiting is at home a week later. She actually went shopping for us beforehand, which was a huge lifesaver because we were starting to run out of supplies. We were handling some difficulties breastfeeding and her advice was really valuable in deciding which next step to take.

Overall very positive experience. Totally worth it.

Hiring Britany was one of the best decisions hubby and I could have made for birth. We met her toward the end of my pregnancy and she was still willing to work with us. From the get go, she was super sweet, informative and educated us on the stages of birth. She showed us pain relief methods and stretches that would give baby space and optimize his position. She always checked up on me, answered my questions, sent evidence based articles, and even went to a check up appointment with me. When the day came she met us at the hospital. She was a rock during my birth, the soft voice that brought calmness when things got intense. She also helped me ask questions to get informed consent from doctors, in order to make the best decisions for myself and baby. I’m so so grateful for her! If you’re thinking of hiring a doula, don’t hesitate to hire Britany, she will help you rock your birth!!

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!

From 6 weeks into my pregnancy all the way through postpartum, Britney was an unwavering source of support, knowledge, and compassion. she helped me feel empowered in my pregnancy journey. Her advice on patient advocacy was absolutely invaluable—she made sure I understood my options and encouraged me to speak up about my needs and preferences during medical appointments. She discussed with me making a personalized birth plan that reflected my values while preparing me for the unpredictability of labor. Which was useful because I got induced at 35 weeks due to preeclampsia. Britney’s knowledge of the induction process and advice during the first two days of labor were invaluable. I am based out of San Diego and utilized her services virtually however, I felt her presence there continuously. Britney made herself available to me all hours of the day and night. She provided such a high level of support that it made an intense experience feel more manageable and even beautiful. Britney provided me with guidance all throughout my labor and ultimately I was able to give birth naturally even after a lengthy induction process. Postpartum, Britney was a lifeline. She offered practical lactation support when I struggled to breastfeed. my son being premature he did not have an effective latch and she helped me navigate my breastfeeding experience which turned into exclusively pumping. She made the experience of pumping less daunting and helped me navigate the transition. Britney also helped me identify when I was experiencing early signs of postpartum anxiety showing me both sensitivity and providing me with real resources. Her check-ins felt like care from a trusted friend and a skilled professional all in one. If you’re looking for a doula and/or lactation consultant who is deeply knowledgeable, emotionally intuitive, and wholly committed to your wellbeing, you’ve found her.
