CONNECT with your support team, your partner, and yourself in birth and within those first 42 days after birth
FACE the unknown with courage, wisdom and self-love by preparing for the Rite of Passage
MEET THE DOULA
I'm Brooke
nice to meet ya!
“I love Brooke’s approach to childbirth preparation. She prepares you both to be emotionally and mentally prepared for a wide range of birth experiences.
She takes you on a metaphysical journey that awakens something deep within you, something more valuable than a series of breathing techniques. Birth became a mind-body experience for us. It transformed the way I see myself as a Mother.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are the most often asked questions an expectant family has inquired about prior to hiring me. If there isn’t an answer to a question that you have please feel free to contact me.
Aspired Mother’s private prenatal sessions allow you to work around your schedule to make it more convenient. The focus is on providing information that is relevant to you, your lifestyle, and situation. My private childbirth and postpartum preparation sessions allow you the comfort and privacy to ask questions you may not have without feeling embarrassed with strangers around.
No, but I will make suggestions to watch specific clips on your own.
Many people feel uncomfortable watching birth videos because there is no emotion attached to that experience. While I make an effort to share videos that emote those feelings, it still feels quite different when you are in the moment and welcoming your baby.
Partners are a very important part of our sessions. My focus is on getting you on the same page by facilitating conversations between the two of you. I also love to practice the tools and techniques with you both so we can build a comfort level with these techniques.
There is so much information out there that it can sometimes be overwhelming as well as conflicting. My goal is to not only give you information, but to help you discover and cultivate internal resources already within you that will help you meet the challenges birth and parenthood can bring.
No matter what type of birth you’re planning – or if you don’t have a plan at all – our sessions are a time for you to ask questions, explore your feelings around birth and parenting, and prepare to meet your little one.
Also, you will be invited to our private AM Village App to create a community of people who are going through the same experience you are. You can’t get that from a book.
