When you hired us, you probably hired us for the emotional, spiritual, and physical support doulas bring to the table - a massive component of doula care! But you may not realize you also signed up for ✨education✨!

Our first prenatal meeting with you is one of my favs - it’s a time to discuss evidence-based information regarding different intervention and experiences you may be presented with at your birth, no matter where you choose to birth! 🤰🏻

It’s designed to leave you feeling empowered and able to walk into birth with a clear and confident head space so you feel empowered to make decisions. ✔️

More often than not, each birth comes with its own ebbs and flows and pivots. Our second prenatal meeting covers all the tools, mental prep, position work, and comfort measures you think of when you think of preparing for birth and a doula. We hope between both of our prenatal meetings you feel both mentally prepared and educated as well as equipped with physical tools to utilize during your labor. We’re here to prepare you before with intentional support so you can have an empowered birth. 🫶🏼

You’re their home. The only one they’ve ever known and continue to sense and recognize. Skin-to-skin matters for you and baby beyond what we realize!

Ohhh this trend has me all in the feels. 🥹 Over 3 years ago, I started Bloom and Grow with Alyssa. It started as a strong desire to provide the most intentional support possible for moms and families.

It has become one of the absolute most sacred gifts.

From the depths of my heart - thank you. Thank you for trusting me. For teaching me the power of a woman and mother over and over again (and in that shaping how I continue to view myself as a mother!). For inviting me in to such an intimate space.

Because of each of you that has trusted me (and my incredible team) I have found more of myself than I thought possible. As I continue moving deeper into the world of birth work, and as I dwell on the incredible number of births I’ve had the honor and privilege to attend in the past 3 years, I cannot help but feel humbled and so immensely blessed.

I’ve told my husband many times that birth work is one of the few places I feel most at home. So here’s to many more years of serving you. 🫶🏼 - Brittany

Now that my little man is almost 4 months old, I’ve taken time and space to process my birth story. I hope by sharing it, it provides a raw, real, and encouraging picture of what a beautiful force labor is and the power of surrendering to it. 🫶🏼 - Brittany

Massive shout outs to my team and resources who made the world of difference for me:
- Sarah, my incredible midwife who gave the best care and kept me so centered -
- Venessa, whose knowledge and calming presence I am forever grateful for -
- Alyssa, who made sure I had the tools I needed for my labor -
- My husband, who made me feel like I could do anything
- My mom, who helped so much to support the birth team and bring me comfort
- Dr. Emery - her adjustments throughout my pregnancy helped Alistair find his most optimal position and kept my pelvis balanced and open Dr. Abigail Emery | Prenatal & Pediatric Chiropractorss

She loves witnessing and supporting life’s raw, beautiful moments and connecting with people from all walks of life. Every family she meets reminds her why she loves birth work— no two stories are the same, and that’s what makes it so special.

Brittany here! Today’s my “due date” with little man and it truly means very little to me. I’ve had this deep, instinctual feeling that he will be on the later side since I got my first positive pregnancy test. I’ve been mentally preparing for going past my due date and it’s definitely paid off. Pregnancy and birth are all about mindset and this post shares a few things I’ve dwelt on these past 9 months!

It’s important as well to keep in mind that I am a low risk pregnancy this time around. My last pregnancy ended quickly in an induction at 39 weeks (so this is the longest I’ve ever been pregnant!) and I will always be so grateful for the interventions that helped me bring our little girl into the world. As I always say, interventions are tools and should they come into play with this delivery, I’ll be grateful for them then too. But until then, we wait, rest, and take in how life is now before our little guy appears! 💙
