“THANK YOU for inspiring laughter in my birth. You did one prenatal yoga class focused on laughter towards the very end of my pregnancy, and it must have planted a seed because I ended up having the most giggly, raucous birth. It was awesome. In between contractions my husband and I danced and laughed it out in our little room. I’m not saying the birth was a breeze, but the experience was made more joyful and light­hearted by letting it rip (the laughter that is).”

Antonia S.

“Her breadth and depth of experience is unmatched. She embraces the emotional and physical messiness of birth and doesn’t shy away from intensity. At the same time, she has this wonderful playful spirit and loving mama bear fierceness.”

Erin M.

“THANK YOU for the photos of the birth. We have looked through them twice now, and have cried both times, remembering the power and beauty of that night. WOW. Your presence and support at the birth was so crucial… and we didn’t even really think about the photos being part of the service you were providing for us… but we realize now what a huge gift it is to have them, to be able to remember the moment of our first meeting Rye and of Rebecca’s being a total badass in bringing him here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

“I’m a homebirth midwife in SF and Britt is one of my favorite doulas. I am thrilled whenever my clients choose to work with her. She is knowledgeable, talented, dedicated and persistent. Her skills at guiding women through labor, especially using hypnobirthing techniques, are unparalleled. Her prenatal visits are always valuable and prepare clients for what’s ahead, helping them to be proactive and ready. Her work during labor always prioritizes her clients’ health and empowerment. Birth can be hard but it’s always better with Britt.”

Sue Baelen

“Even from hundreds of miles away Britt was an integral part of my son’s birth.  With kindness, patience and love, she helped me explore what type of birth I wanted and empowered me to figure out how to get there.  She taught me that with the right preparation I could (and did) achieve a mindful, calm, and loving birth.”
