Meet Your doula, Brianna!

Brianna was born to be a doula. For as long as she can remember she had one goal; she wanted to nurture and support a child of her own. Becoming a mom was everything to her.
As she grew, her “need to nurture” placed her on an educational path toward social work with a counseling major. After a chaotic hospital birth of her daughter followed by most empowering & supportive water birth of her son, it was doula work and teaching childbirth education that spoke the loudest to her. 

When working with clients, Brianna reminds them to give themselves grace; to listen to their bodies and offer themselves the same patience they would give to some else if they were having a baby. 

Brianna opened her doula business in 2020, has currently served over 70 families, and has never been more personally or professionally rewarded. Admittedly, she loves taking care of others and quite frankly… She’s really good at it! When not working with clients, Brianna loves to explore and hike the Metroparks in her area with her family. She and her two children, Gianna and Elliot reside in Brooklyn, Ohio. Brianna supports families in the Cleveland and Northeastern Ohio areas and is thrilled at the opportunity to support yours!

“Experiencing childbirth without knowledge or support set me up for feeling voiceless. It positioned me to agree to things that I otherwise would not have agreed to. As a doula, I help my clients find and use their voices to enable more satisfying, empowering birth experiences for them.”
