Brandi K. | Doula in TX

Compassionate Birth Services, LLC

    Practice overview

    I relocated from Chico, California to McAllen, Texas in 2007. I earned my degree in Business Administration with an option in Marketing from California State University, Chico. After the amazing water-birth of my son in 2010 I felt compelled to share what I had learned from my own birth experience. I pursued a certification as a childbirth educator and have been teaching classes since 2011. I am currently a certified Birth Boot Camp Instructor®. In 2012 I began attending births as a doula and formed my company Compassionate Birth Services, LLC.

      I met Brandi after finding her via Google search when I was only 8 weeks pregnant. I had an initial consultation with her and immediately knew she was the doula I needed for my pregnancy. I attended her pre-natal classes, she was my birth doula and she encapsulated my placenta. I am forever grateful for the compassion and knowledge Brandi shared with me throughout and shortly after my pregnancy. I had an extremely positive experience switching OBGYNs while pregnant, choosing a hospital to birth at, drafting a birthing plan, choosing a prenatal yoga program, learning about prenatal nutrition, learning how to use my breast pump, and being connected with La Leche League and the Lactation Care Center all happened because of Brandi’s thoughtful guidance and coaching. I felt safe and at ease throughout my labor and delivery with Brandi at my side. If I choose to have another child, I would undoubtedly want Brandi to be my doula again.

      Brandi is a wonderfully committed birth professional. She has been supporting women in the Rio Grande Valley for as long as I can remember and I’ve always heard so much positive feedback from her clients. Working along side Brandi has shown me what a compassionate and invested doula she truly is. Brandi brings so much knowledge to the birth space!

      I have worked in the birthing community alongside Brandi for 12 years. I have seen her with many clients and she always provides evidence based support. Brandi is always calm and collected. I am honored to be her colleague. Brandi is a wonderfully supportive colleague to the birthing community.
