Starting at a young age, I had a passion for children and babies. When I was younger, I wanted to be a pediatrician and a mom. I followed down the medical pathway as a CNA in an Intensive Care Unit and I was able to care for a lot of people in very vulnerable moments. Through this I experienced a lot of last moments with people. After becoming pregnant in 2022 and having my son, I realized that I have a passion for assisting women through pregnancy and ultimately through labor and delivery. I decided that I was ready to take this step and turn this passion into an opportunity to serve others in the most beautiful and natural journey that we as women get to encounter. My mission as your birth doula is to support you through your natural journey from pregnancy through childbirth and into motherhood. I take a holistic approach when assisting you with reaching your goals and aim to empower you in making conscious decisions surrounding your birth. I believe that you are in total control of your decisions and support your ability to trust your intuition on what is right for you and your baby. Your body will NOT grow a baby you can't birth.

I offer two services. One being everything but the birth. We will have two prenatal appointments, one of which I will answer any and all questions, provide education, and create a birth plan with you. At the second appointment, we will practice techniques and positions to use while in labor and I will give you an amazon list of tools that would be helpful. I will not attend your birth but will provide 2 postpartum visits. One in early postpartum to ensure that you are doing okay and I will help you with whatever you need for up to 2 hours. The second postpartum appointment will be one hour long* and will serve as an opportunity to make sure you're doing okay mentally and if therapy is needed, I can provide a list based on your insurance/personal needs. The other service is my full birth doula support which includes everything described above and includes me being on call at your 37-week mark until you deliver and includes birth support. We can discuss what you need and figure out what works best for you.
Bridgette is absolutely amazing! She is so passionate, nurturing, caring, and honestly so fun! She brings an unexpected edgy charm with her and it usually comes out at all the best moments. She will educated, guide, nurture and support you like no other doula will. 100% would hire her for my next birth, but I am moving.
