Brandi Kennedy relocated from Chico,California to McAllen, Texas in 2007. She earned her degree in Business Administration with an option in Marketing from California State University, Chico. After the amazing water-birth of her son in 2010 she felt compelled to share what she had learned from her own birth experience. She pursued a certification as a childbirth educator and has been teaching classes since 2011. She is currently a certified Birth Boot Camp Instructor®. In 2012 she began attending births as a doula and formed her company Compassionate Birth Services, LLC. She received her birth doula certification through Childbirth International® in 2013.
My Birth Philosophy
I also celebrate families in whatever form they take. I believe that a family is defined by the family themselves and is not defined by sexuality, gender, race, or class. These families, like everyone else, can greatly benefit from a loving and compassionate doula to help guide and support them through the birth process.
As a birth doula, it is my job to provide emotional, physical, and informational support to both mother and partner before, during, and after childbirth. I believe that a woman's birth experience will remain the most memorable events of their life. I want that experience to be positive and empowering for each of my clients. My role is to help my clients navigate the world of birth using my knowledge, experience and support with a compassionate heart.
I trust the natural process and believe that for low risk women, few interventions are needed. However, birth can be unpredictable and sometimes require them. Women have the right to be informed about these things throughout their pregnancy and birth. Making them a part of the decision making process allows them to walk away from their experience empowered.
