hi, i’m brit!

Hi there, I’m Brit, and it’s such a joy to meet you! I feel honored to walk alongside people during one of the most powerful and transformative seasons of life—birth.

I come to birth work through my own challenging fertility journey and a lifetime of navigating women’s health struggles as a patient. Growing up with hormonal issues, mental health challenges, seeing my mom survive breast cancer, and learning the importance of choice and bodily autonomy all have shaped my belief that everyone deserves to feel heard, safe, and respected in their care. My years as an end-of-life doula and gerontologist also give me a deep appreciation for life’s rhythms, transitions, and the ways our bodies and experiences deserve attention and compassion at every stage.

Being an older sister has always made me feel called to nurture and protect, and that instinct shapes the way I support families. I love helping people feel informed and empowered, and I’m deeply passionate about making sure your voice, your body, and your needs are at the center of every decision you make.

I trained with Cornerstone Doulas in Oakland, hold a Master of Public Health from Yale School of Public Health, and a Bachelor of Science in Human Development & Aging from USC. My background in public health informs my systems-level approach to birth, helping me notice where healthcare can overlook individuality and humanity—and giving me the tools to advocate for you in ways that feel informed and thoughtful.

I would be honored to walk with you through your birth journey, offering support, advocacy, and care that meets you exactly where you are.

My approach

I take a both and approach to birth work (and to life).

I believe in science, rigor, and evidence-based care. I also believe in Spirit, the earth, and our deeper inner knowing.
I believe in Western medicine and Eastern traditions.

I believe in epidurals and water births.
I believe in compassionate, person-centered clinicians practicing evidence-based medicine and in birthing at home, in your own space, surrounded by what makes you feel safe and held.

I believe in gynecology and midwifery.
I believe in monitoring, protocols, and the scientific method and intuition, ritual, astrology, and ancestral wisdom.

I believe healing and birth are not one-size-fits-all—and that choice, consent, and bodily autonomy matter deeply.

I am rooted in reproductive justice and equity. I believe in naming and resisting the harms of medical, racial, and structural inequities in birth and in advocating skillfully within existing systems to keep families safe, informed, and empowered. I fight against systems that cause harm while also helping clients navigate them with clarity, protection, and agency.

Birth is physiological, emotional, spiritual, and political all at once!!! And I believe our care should reflect that wholeheartedly.
