Meet Brianna

BIRTH DOULA

Brianna (she/her) lives outside of Nashville with her wife and three boys. Brianna is originally from Pennsylvania, but has lived in the Nashville area since she was a child and is happy to call this area her home.

Brianna has known that she was meant to be in birth work since she was a young child, and has had the honor of holding plenty of friends and family member’s hands as they welcomed their own children into the world throughout the years. As a child, she was often watching “A Birth Story” on TLC instead of regular cartoons. As Brianna grew, that passion continued to grow and she soon realized that becoming a doula was her calling in life. Brianna graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in sociology. She performed her undergraduate research thesis on the risk factors and statistical findings of Postpartum Depression and is an advocate for mental health and trauma-informed care. After bringing her youngest son into the world in May of 2020, Brianna completed her doula training shortly after.

Since then, Brianna has had the honor of sharing space with multiple families and has experienced a wide variety of different births. She comes home from each birth feeling a strong passion and honor to share space with her clients during a vulnerable and transformative time. Brianna believes in the body’s natural physiological process of birth while empowering families with informed choices so that they can make the decisions that feel best for them. Brianna is well-versed in evidence-based practices and she is able to provide birthing parents with the info they need for informed consent. As an LGBTQIA+ ally, Brianna believes that inclusivity regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation should be a standard practice.

When Brianna is not working, she can be found doing school work for her graduate degree, outside or hiking with her three children, kayaking, watching a new TV show, or drinking coffee. Brianna is currently pursuing her Postpartum Doula Certification and Childbirth Educator Training to further serve her clients.
