Briana decided to become a doula after experiencing her own birth trauma in 2014, as well as listening to others share their stories. She noticed a common trend in lack of knowledge & support surrounding pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding & postpartum care which has led too many women, especially those from marginalized communities, to experience unnecessary birth trauma. She started my doula journey believing she would only desire to help with homebirths, but quickly understood the NEED for her presence, advocacy & support in hospital settings where most birth trauma occurs. Her main goal as a doula is to educate & provide emotional & physical support for clients, thus giving them the confidence to make the right decisions for themselves decreasing the chance for an undesirable birth experience.
When she’s not out fighting for birth justice, she’s homeschooling her 2 young boys (ages 6 and 8), being a soccer mom, in addition to running my own handmade bath & body business.
