Meet Briana

Briana is a birth and postpartum doula on our team who is certified through Sokana Collective. She is passionate about families and assuring that families have the support and the care they need to have a positive experience. She loves providing this continuum of care for families and caring for them postpartum with both daytime and overnight support. 

She has supported families throughout their pregnancy, birth & breastfeeding journeys for the past 8 years. Being a full spectrum doula gives her the ability to support each family through birth and/or the postpartum period. Some of her traits include being patient, respectful, reliable & emotionally present with her clients.

Briana decided to become a doula after experiencing her own birth trauma in 2014, as well as listening to others share their stories. She noticed a common trend in lack of knowledge & support surrounding pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding & postpartum care which has led too many women, especially those from marginalized communities, to experience unnecessary birth trauma. She started her doula journey believing she would only desire to help with home births, but quickly understood the NEED for her presence, advocacy & support in hospital settings where most birth trauma occurs. Her main goal as a doula is to educate & provide emotional & physical support for clients, thus giving them the confidence to make the right decisions for themselves decreasing the chance for an undesirable birth experience.

When Briana is not out fighting for birth justice, she is homeschooling her 2 young boys (ages 6 & 8), being a soccer mom, providing tutoring services to K-12 students, in addition to running her own handmade bath & body business. She clearly loves to stay busy through service & pouring into others.
