My name is Bri and I’m a faith-led doula and birth educator, and what some might call a “radical birthkeeper.”

I used to be a touring musician until my husband (also a musician) and I got hitched back in 2018, took Jesus seriously in our lives and left our old careers in hopes of building our family together. We’re currently living out of an off-grid home in Hawaii with our two daughters.

My first daughter was born by an unnecessary cesarean section in a tumultuous, manipulative hospital environment— a traumatic experience that radicalized my trust in the birth industrial complex and led to pursuing birth work outside of the medical system, out of a desire to support women with experiences like mine.

The more I fell into the rabbit hole of birth research, how physiologic birth plays out in an undisturbed setting and how the medical pathology sabotages it at every possible level, the more a great passion grew in my heart to share what (I believe) God has shared with me.

With each new study or article or rabbit hole I fell into, the truth solidified that our bodies are created with the instinctive knowledge to birth our babies, just as it knows to breathe and process food and beat my heart.

It turns out we have built-in instruments to manage birth without the need for questionable man-made medicines and interventions— they actually disrupt the process. Research led to understanding the inherent wisdom of natural acts like singing and diaphragmatic breathing, even affection and physical touch, that significantly reduces pain and instigates healing in a pregnant mother.

I experienced birth as a sacred rite of passage, not some terrifying medicalized life-or death scenario that gets played out in every hollywood movie & tv show.

I implemented these new ideas previously mentioned to manage my own birth and saw the significant difference it made firsthand. I learned most importantly that every choice I make for myself/my child and the subsequent outcomes are my responsibility, whether I birth alone or with a doctor, a happy healthy baby or otherwise, I alone carry the outcome of my choices. I began to take that role seriously when it came to making them for me & my unborn children.

I took everything I learned over 3 years and birthed my second VBAC baby unassisted in our home in June 2024. It was beautiful and raw and excruciating and blissful and it changed my relationship with birth totally & forever.

What impacted me the most was my experience in attempting to surrender full trust in Jesus, allowing His opinion to take precedence over the surveillance-based care my world is accustomed to, allowing our communication to be the forefront of all my pregnancy & birth choices no matter the outcome.

No ultrasounds-I trusted the darkness of the womb. No blood work or tests- I would follow my body’s cues. Believing in the primitive birth I felt called to experience.

Having the Almighty speak and fulfill promises to me firsthand through my wild pregnancy and freebirth built my trust in Him more than anything ever has.

Ultimately, I believe every pregnant mother who wants it deserves the experience to be loved, honored, and nurtured during her birth, hence why I’m here.

If we work together, I look forward to sharing the fellowship of love and blessings the Lord gives his daughters in their rites of passage, helping you to gain the trust and confidence to birth the way women were always supposed to: With God.
