More about Brittany.
How did you decide to become a doula?
During my time in college, where I majored in pre-law, I also worked as a nanny. It was during this period that I discovered my true passion for working with children and supporting families, and decided to pursue it as a career. Over the course of 14 years, I had the privilege of working with numerous families, which allowed me to witness firsthand the need for additional support during birth and postpartum. This realization led me to explore the field of doula work, and since then, I have loved being able to provide support in helping families navigate the journey of parenthood. This career path has brought me immense fulfillment, and I am incredibly grateful to have discovered my purpose at such an early stage in life.
What's your favorite way to spend a day off?
During my free time, I find joy in spending quality moments with my dogs, preparing wholesome vegan meals, immersing myself in nature through hiking, expressing my creativity through painting, indulging in the world of literature through reading and writing, and nurturing plants in my garden.
If you could take a month long trip anywhere in the world, where would you go?
If I had the opportunity to embark on a month-long journey to any destination, my ultimate choice would be India. Renowned for its profound spiritual atmosphere, I yearn to immerse myself in the practice of meditation and delve further into my spiritual journey. The wealth of incredible sights and experiences in India holds an undeniable allure, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to connect with its rich cultural heritage one day.
You have a whole weekend to binge watch TV, what's on your list?
I flip between nature documentaries, any shows showing beauty or love... and any crime scene series.
Tell us something about yourself that we may be surprised to learn.
A lesser-known aspect about me that might surprise people is that as a child, I possessed the extraordinary ability to have premonitions, where my dreams would manifest into reality the following day. As I matured both mentally, physically and spiritually, I have honed my intuitive abilities by embracing the practice of tarot reading, and also guiding parents through sleep coaching on how to intuitively connect with their children. This unique journey has allowed me to channel my innate intuition and extend compassion to others in meaningful ways.
