OWNER
Brittany Jones
I am a DONA International certified Birth doula and postpartum doula. I am also certified in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International. I also hold a Bachelor of Science from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Psychology and a Master of Arts from North Carolina Central University in Clinical Psychology. I have over 7 years of experience working in the mental health field. I am a board member and member of the North Carolina Perinatal Association.
I have always admired the sacredness of the process of bringing another life into this world. From the tender age of 7 I always knew that I wanted to help mothers and babies. I remember spending my time watching A Baby Story on television and learning all of the medical ins and outs around having a baby. This passion and drive to help mothers and babies in conjunction with my own lived experience of giving birth is what sparked my interest in becoming a doula. I have a passion for and commitment to addressing disparities in both mental and physical health for Black, Brown, and historically marginalized people.
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Are Saying About Melanated Bellies
"My experience with Brittany as my doula was phenomenal. I was so uneasy and nervous about delivering my baby, but Brittany was able to help ease my anxiety. She answered all my questions, assisted with creating my birth plan, and sent me videos about what I could potentially expect. I appreciate her approach in reassuring me that I was asking all the right questions, and being real with me— as I had asked of her. Brittany’s demeanor was very calming, which definitely helped put me at ease once we got to the hospital. I appreciate her taking the time to go above and beyond to help with all of my concerns, and checking on me throughout the weeks leading up to delivery. "
