Meet Brandi

I run a full service doula practice where I assist Black birthing persons in pregnancy support and education, labor and delivery support as well as postpartum. I want to be an anchor for birthing persons to assist them in having autonomy over their bodies and birthing experience. I give them education to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing. I worked  in maternal health for 5 years and have seen the good, the bad and the ugly side of the business of birth here in the United States. I want to help birthing persons feel empowered to question medicine and advocate for themselves in medical spaces. I want to expose birthing persons to all options available to them.

 

I became a CLC (Certified Lactation Counselor) in 2019 after learning of the low breastfeeding rates in Black women. I breastfeed all 4 of my children and realized that I was privileged to have the support and resources I needed to help me reach my breastfeeding goals. I also learned quickly that the resources out there came from mostly white women. I want to be relatable to those who need the support, to have a shared experience and understand the barriers that we face when it comes to breastfeeding. 

 

As a therapist, I enjoy helping people make connections in their lives. We all have trauma and a story to tell. I love helping people learn about themselves and how to navigate this journey we call life. I recognize the importance of having ALL parts of you in a healing space and so I encourage the use of Spiritual practices in my work. I am trained in EMDR and use other somatic practices in my work. At the client's request and discretion we may use meditation, sound healing, mindful movement or the use of tarot in the therapeutic space.
