Meet Brittney, another one of our incredible Doulas.

Brittney has always felt connected to pregnancy, birth, babies, and supporting mothers. She's in school working toward becoming a nurse, with her sights set on maternal and infant health. Becoming a doula gave her the chance to start making an impact now.

One moment that stayed with her happened with her very first doula client, who was expecting twins. Brittney supported her through the pregnancy and delivery, then came the biggest surprise: the client turned out to be family. What started as her first doula client ended up being family all along.

"Being an MHN doula means being part of something bigger than myself."

It's helped her grow in compassion, patience, and confidence, while giving her hands-on experience supporting mothers and families along the way.

"You don't have to know everything to make a difference."

When she's not supporting families, you'll find her making memories with her two kids and expressing herself through fashion and beauty. 💜

There's a myth out there that doulas don't assist with C-section births.

The truth? Doulas support ALL types of births. Moms who have C-sections deserve the support of a doula as much as anyone else.

A C-section doesn't make your birth any less worthy of support, preparation, or care.
