My Offerings
Homebirth Doula Support + Birth & Golden Hour Photography
In person connection prenatally + during your birth. This is tailored to each woman but typically involves talking over the physiology of birth, nutrition, fears, past birth experiences, nervous system support, what you may wish to have on hand for birth and postpartum + many other topics. We will go deep and really take our time discussing each topic. This can look like sitting in your home, going for a walk, prepping postpartum meals while we chat or meeting at a coffee shop. This is unlike most childbirth education you’ll find because it’s specifically for women who are planning to birth at home and honor physiology. I serve a 1.5 hour radius of Southern Illinois and you’re free to contact me if you want to see if you’re within my radius!
Sacred Postpartum Support
Many women in our culture spend lots of time + money investing in their birth and completely forget about postpartum. I’d argue that planning for postpartum is just as important and can really make a difference in your overall experience as well as your journey to healing. You can hire me solely for postpartum care if that’s all you desire from me! Or we can continue working together after your Homebirth Doula Support into Postpartum. Postpartum care begins immediately following the birth of your baby. I’d clean up the birth space, make sure you’re fed a good meal & even take golden hour photos if you’d like to capture this moment forever. (unless you prefer to opt out of birth support and in that case it begins whenever you call me.)
I will walk with you through your first 40 days postpartum and we are likely to become close friends. The support that I offer is very individualized for the needs of each mother and includes check-ins that last between 2-3 hours. Some of my offerings are postpartum meal prep, massage, simple house chores, sitz bath/vaginal steaming, birth story debrief’s, placenta exploration + burial, breastfeeding support, & fresh48 photos. My postpartum wisdom comes from my own lived experience, walking with other women & an online course I took through Full Circle Holistic. This work is from my heart and I’m honored to serve you + your family in whatever way you need me to. I understand how personal and important the postpartum season is and i’m SO honored you’re choosing me to support you.
1:1 Individual Coaching Sessions
If you’re interested in physiologic birth education but you’re not sure if you want me present at your birth - these are for you! You still get all of the same education as my homebirth doula package offers - minus the birth and postpartum support. I also offer birth debriefs. Birth story debriefs are for women who are interested in unpacking past birth experiences to really understand why things played out the way they did and to heal your nervous system as you step into your next birth. Miscarriage & Loss support is available as well. We can talk about anything from things to expect while going through a loss to the way you’re feeling as you navigate this experience. These sessions are totally individualized for whatever your personal needs are. Breastfeeding coaching is for the women who want someone to walk with them through the challenges that can come up during breastfeeding. I am not a certified lactation consultant but I have breastfed my son for over 3 years now and have lots of lived experience supporting other moms along the way. Breastfeeding debriefs are helpful if you want to explore what could’ve happened in your last journey.
Herbal Offerings
Tinctures, salves, infused oils, tea blends, lotus birth blends & v-steam blends! All of which are hand crafted by me. I take the extra steps to source organic herbs if I haven’t grown them myself or wildcrafted them from my land. All infused oils are made with high quality cold pressed organic olive oil. Tinctures are made using vodka or organic non-GMO vegetable glycerin (flax based). Salves are made using my infused oil blends and organic yellow beeswax. Add some of these items to your home apothecary, gift them to clients or friends or toss them in your birth bag!

“I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible support and guidance I received from Brittany during my pregnancy and birth From our initial meeting, I knew she would be incredible support. Her knowledge, empathy, and unwavering support throughout the entire process were invaluable. During labor, she was a calming presence, offering physical and emotional support. With her help I felt empowered and confident in my birthing choices. Thanks to her, I had an amazing birth experience. I highly recommend Brittany to any expectant parent(s) seeking personalized, compassionate care during this transformative journey.”
