About me

At Birth by Brit I believe that birth and feeding should feel supported, empowered, and even a little magical. I’m here for you to be there every step of the way from pregnancy, birth and beyond with non-judgmental and evidence based care. My business is led by me, a nurse, lactation counselor, and parent who knows the beauty and chaos of this season firsthand. I have been an OB nurse for the past 7 years, a lactation counselor the last 4 years and a mom of 2. I lead with compassion and have a strong belief in tailoring your care to YOU and your individual needs. My philosophy is that education is empowerment. I fully believe that feeling prepared and educated early on brings such a sense of calm and control your birthing space. I proudly serve all birthing people and families, honoring every identity, body, and background with inclusive care. I offer both virtual and in person services to be able to support families with a variety of budgets

Britney supported me through my entire pregnancy, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Even though this wasn’t my first pregnancy, I had countless questions and concerns and Britney was there for every single one. She never made me feel like my questions didn’t matter. Instead, she answered them thoroughly, kindly, and always in a timely manner. Beyond her incredible guidance during pregnancy, Britney was also a huge help with breastfeeding. She shared so many tips and tricks that gave me the confidence to start my breastfeeding journey successfully. During labor, Britney was by my side every step of the way like checking in, reassuring me, and making sure I felt supported. You don’t truly realize how much you need that kind of support until you have it, and Britney provided exactly that. I would recommend Britney to every pregnant woman I meet. She is truly an angel!

Here it is so you don’t have to go searching! I cannot recommend Birth by Brit highly enough. From just 6 weeks into my pregnancy all the way through postpartum, Britney was an unwavering source of support, knowledge, and compassion. From the very beginning, she helped me feel empowered in my pregnancy journey. Her advice on patient advocacy was absolutely invaluable—she made sure I understood my options and encouraged me to speak up about my needs and preferences during medical appointments. She discussed with me making a personalized birth plan that reflected my values while preparing me for the unpredictability of labor. Which ended up extremely useful because I got induced at 35 weeks due to preeclampsia. Britney’s knowledge of the induction process and advice during the first two days of labor were invaluable. I am based out of San Diego and utilized her services virtually however, I felt her presence there continuously. Britney made herself available to me all hours of the day and night during my labor. She provided such a high level of support that it made an intense experience feel more manageable and even beautiful. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner every step of the way. Britney provided me with guidance all throughout my labor and ultimately I was able to give birth naturally even after a lengthy induction process, which I credit greatly to her knowledge, guidance and the resources she provided me with while I was in labor. Postpartum, Britney was a lifeline. She offered practical lactation support when I struggled to breastfeed. Due to my son being premature, he did not have an effective latch and she helped me navigate my breastfeeding experience which eventually turned into exclusively pumping. She made the experience of breastfeeding and pumping less daunting and helped me navigate the transition to exclusively pumping. Britney also helped me identify when I was experiencing early signs of postpartum anxiety showing me both sensitivity and providing me with real resources. Her check-ins felt like care from a trusted friend and a skilled professional all in one. If you’re looking for a doula and/or lactation consultant who is deeply knowledgeable, emotionally intuitive, and wholly committed to your wellbeing, you’ve found her. Britney made all the difference in my journey to becoming a parent, and I’m endlessly grateful.
