About Brigitte
Motherhood is an intense journey. One that is often so full of questions to which all the baby books in the world don’t have the answers.
Some moments you’re swept away in a riptide of emotional turmoil.
Other times you’re filled with anticipation, excitement and pure bliss at the thought of meeting your beautiful baby.
This journey that you’re embarking upon is like no other. It will change you in amazing ways. You will prove to yourself that you are strong and capable of anything.
When women are given the tools and support they need, magic happens. Birth can be a life changing experience that empowers you to overcome anything life throws your way. When your baby arrives you can rest in the once in a lifetime experience of bonding and intimacy like you’ve never before experienced.
Here’s the thing mama, stress is the last thing you need when it comes to your birth and your postpartum experience.
It’s my honor to help you navigate this challenging terrain so that you get to the summit of the potential experience that awaits you.
Every woman deserves to give birth without fear.
Every mother deserves to fully relax and integrate into this new chapter with their baby.
Every family deserves to feel held, supported and honored during this short and ever so sweet part of life.
As a doula, that’s what I’m here for. I’m on your team, and 100% committed to supporting you during pregnancy, birth and postpartum so that your needs are met and you can relax into motherhood fully and completely.
Being a mother was always my dream. I’m grateful to say that I have three beautiful children and a grandson, but my birth and postpartum experiences were far from ideal. I wanted so badly to have a natural birth but didn’t have the support or knowledge that would’ve equipped me to do that. Subsequently, I experienced the postpartum difficulties that so many women go through.
The thing with motherhood is that even though your health and sanity is necessary to raise happy kids, you always put yourself last on the to-do list
My task is to empower you to nourish yourself in two main ways:
- Knowledge
When you’re equipped with the knowledge of all your options, you can make choices that feel good to you. Be confident in your birthing choices and divorce yourself from fear so that you can welcome your sweet babe into a world rooted in love.
- Support
It takes a village to raise a child. It also takes a village to bring one into the world and ease the transition from pregnancy to motherhood for the entire family.
I support women and families during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I provide…
- A non-judgemental shoulder to lean on
- A bevy of knowledge and experience for you to draw from and help
- Support with anything you might need, from cooking nourishing meals to cleaning your home and holding your sweet baby while you take a relaxing bath.
Some people dream of becoming a doctor or traveling the world. My dream was always to have a family. Now, my dream has evolved into a new expression and I’m honored to support other women in their journey to fulfilling their own dreams of starting and growing their families with as much grace and ease as possible.
What I want most is for you is to experience birth without fear. For you to feel confident, joyful and excited about your birth and postpartum experience. Why? Because when you do, this whole journey becomes transformative in a powerful way, life-affirming way. Your mama strength knows no bounds.
