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.
