Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers...strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.

All About Me

Hello! My name is Brittany and I am the founder of Shepherd’s Embrace Doula Services. I’m honored to walk beside families through every step of their pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum journey. My goal is to provide personalized prenatal education, continuous support during labor, and compassionate guidance in those first days at home—always tailoring my care to your unique needs and birth vision.

​

My commitment to this work deepened when I served as a gestational surrogate. Carrying and nurturing a child for another family gave me firsthand insight into the physical, emotional, and logistical challenges of pregnancy from multiple perspectives. That experience taught me the power of empathetic listening, clear advocacy, and unwavering emotional support—and it enriches every birth I attend.

​

In addition to my doula training, I’m a high-risk OB sonographer with years of experience in maternal–fetal imaging. I’ve worked closely with obstetric specialists to monitor pregnancies complicated by health conditions, interpret ultrasounds, and help families understand what’s happening behind the scenes. This clinical background means I’m comfortable collaborating with medical teams, explaining scan results in everyday language, and spotting potential concerns early so you feel informed and empowered every step of the way.

​

At Shepherd’s Embrace, I believe in creating an atmosphere of trust, confidence, and empowerment. Whether you’re welcoming your first baby, growing your family through surrogacy, or just seeking support during your birth, I’m here to honor your choices, advocate for your needs, and celebrate each milestone with you. Let’s work together to make your birth experience as gentle, joyful, and meaningful as it can be.
