I began my doula work as a mom of 4 which taught me a little bit about how to navigate the birthing process especially in the hospital setting. At the suggestion of a homebirthing friend I decided I wanted to help other women through the processes of birth and breastfeeding. My training has included 2 Doula certifications and a postpartum certification starting in 2016. I obtained my Lactation certification in 2018 and have been working as a Licensed Massage Therapist since early 2018.

I had a wonderful Doula for my 2nd baby and it made such a huge difference, that I wanted every women to experience such love and support through childbirth. Ive been a active Doula for the last 20 years and I have loved every moment.

Billie Brittany Ann
I became a doula because I believe everyone deserves nonjudgmental support and a sense of connection during major life transitions. I’ve been a doula for a decade, supporting families through birth, postpartum, and medically complex situations. As a queer doula, my work is deeply rooted in affirming care and creating spaces where all identities and family structures feel safe.

My journey to becoming a doula began with my roots in Somalia, where I first witnessed the struggles, many women face when accessing quality maternal care. Those early experiences taught me how deeply childbirth impacts not only the mother, but also the child, family, and community.
