About Allison
Allison Brito
Backup Doula
Hello! My name is Allison Brito. As a doula, I offer you emotional, educational, and physical support during the birthing year. I specialize in comfort measures, informational support, and using affirmations and other verbal measures to release fear and gain confidence.
I have supported women
birthing in the hospital as well as at home
with and without medications
with plenty of family and partner support, as well as with very little
vaginal births, including after previous cesareans
cesarean births
I love to meet you where you are and help you achieve your goals so that you can feel satisfied with and empowered by your birth experience.
I have been supporting families through pregnancy, birth and postpartum for 6 years, but birth (and all things related) has been a passion of mine for much longer, as my sister is a midwife. During my own two distinct labors I have experienced both challenges (back labor, anyone?!) and joys (a powerful water birth). I have a background in education and love to share knowledge and resources that can inform your choices. I am also bilingual in Spanish and English.
In my spare time I love to perform in community theatre, travel to see family, and exercise the “spiritual gift of thrifting” that I inherited from my mother.
