Hi friend, I’m Josi — your Memphis birth doula, postpartum sidekick, and the girl who’s going to remind you (over and over) that you were made for this.

My training & heart behind Brook + Brave Birth

I believe deeply in walking the walk — not just speaking encouragement, but grounding my support in education, hands-on training, and lived experience. I’ve completed professional doula training and continue to invest in learning that allows me to serve families with confidence, wisdom, and care.

I’m trained as a birth doula, with additional education in comfort measures, labor positioning, and emotional support for the early weeks after birth. I’m committed to continuing education because every family deserves support that is informed, intentional, and truly present.

Completed Certifications & Classes

  • Certified through Pain Free Birth Doula Mastermind

  • Peanut Ball Workshop

  • CPR/AED Adult/Child/Infant Certified

But just as important as my training is why I do this — and why this business carries the name it does.

Brook + Brave Birth holds deep meaning for me.

A brook represents calm, peace, and steadiness — the quiet strength that flows even when things feel intense. Brave speaks to the courage it takes to step into birth, to trust your body, and to choose something different than fear.

This name reflects what I want every mother I serve to experience:
a peaceful presence beside her, and the bravery to trust the body God designed for birth.

When you invite me into your journey, you’re getting education, experience, and wholehearted care — but more than that, you’re getting someone who believes in you from the very beginning.

I became a doula because my heart breaks for the mom who’s been told or made to feel like her body is weak, broken, or incapable without a long list of interventions. That narrative is everywhere in our culture… and it’s just not true.

God designed women with unbelievable strength. He made your body intentionally. He knit every part of you with purpose — including the ability to birth. I’m here to help you believe that again.

As your doula, I’m not just showing up with a birth ball and a playlist. I’m stepping into the journey with you — the nerves, the excitement, the questions, the “can I really do this?” moments, even the weird positions I’ll suggest you try out. My goal is for you to go from unsure and a little fearful… to standing in a confidence you didn’t even know you had.

By the time your baby is in your arms, I want you to feel unshakably strong — the kind of woman who says,
“I did that. My body worked. God carried me. And I can do anything.”

And when the postpartum days get tender and vulnerable, I’m right there too — hands-on, heart-open, holding space, supporting your healing, and reminding you you’re not alone for one second.

This isn’t just a job for me.
I love deeply.
I believe what I say with my whole heart.
When you invite me into your birth story, you’re gaining a doula and a friend for life.

If you're craving a birth experience rooted in faith, strength, and zero fear, I’m your girl.
I can’t wait to walk with you.
