Hello, I’m Brittney, a trained birth and postpartum doula serving women and families in the Jackson Metro area and surrounding regions. I attend both home and hospital births. As an educator, supporter, and lover of the Lord, it brings me great joy to walk alongside women and their families during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum seasons of life. My approach of being a doula involves creating a warm and comfortable environment for the mother, baby, and family. I personalize my care to fit each family's unique needs. With me as your doula, you can expect to feel confident and prepared for delivery and the postpartum period. I understand the significance of supporting families during some of the most vulnerable times of their lives.
