I am an experienced birth and postpartum doula and first year care specialist of two and a half years. I've been in maternal and pediatric work for over ten years, and love what I do. My background includes being involved in maternal care and pediatric research, child and adult counseling, and supporting families throughout these new transitions and new additions. I am located within the Boston, MA area, and I do travel to support families outside of the state, including Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. My intention behind this work is lending a helping hand, a listening ear, and grounded presence throughout this beautiful transition within your family before, during, and after birth. I'm excited to get to know you and how I can support you and your family. Many blessings!

I am a birth and postpartum doula. My typical labor support model covers 2 prenatal visits, support during birth, and 2 postpartum visits. As well as phone and texting support throughout pregnancy and postpartum. In addition, I offer postpartum doula services during baby’s first year. Doulas are beneficial during postpartum throughout recovery. Wherever support is needed, I go. This could look like supporting mom during postpartum and around the house, so you can have more time bonding with your newest addition. I also help out and honor baby's schedule, helping with feeding, napping, changing, play time, singing, teaching baby sign language, and having fun! "Just a quick note about Brandi. I’m not sure what sort of magical powers she has, but J***** absolutely adores her. Brian says that every time Brandi is here, J***** is full of smiles and giggles. Thanks so much for introducing her to us. She makes our little boy so happy!" "Thanks again for everything! ******** was in such a great mood after both times you worked with him :)" "Brandi is very good at listening to people, giving guidance, being there for their needs, makes things positive in any situation. She is very caring and non-judgmental. She puts her whole heart in it, and is always on time and flexible if we needed more shifts. It felt like she was family" “Brandi puts herself in situations to serve. She is a team player and she is always professional." ***************************************** If you're curious if I take your insurance, please ask and I can look into this for you.
