Meet Your Doula
Hi, I'm Brittany, or Britt Negrete (she/her/ella). Birth keeper and Reproductive Justice advocate. Doula & future partera. Avid Picnic-er, people lover & nurturer, solo dance party-er, esoteric explorer, and many other things. A bien pocha San Diegan with a passion for reproductive health and advocacy. In a country that is continually removing the rights of our individual bodily autonomy, I believe all people should have accessibility to doulas and trauma informed care. We deserve to feel safe: emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I am here to ensure that with compassionate care and unwavering support throughout your reproductive journey that is centered on you and all your uniqueness. My goal is to be a trusted safe space for all birthing bodies and assist in the amplification of your personal power.
If this were Myspace, 'La Vida es un carnaval' would be playing the moment you clicked here (too loudly may I add). VIDA Birth & Wellness was created as tribute to not only my passion for the service of birthwork, but my family. And my raised belief that la vida is precious: equally full of laughter and tears, but we must savor it all through supportive community that reminds us of our personal strength. Birth is vulnerable and sacred and should be protected as that. I understand that reproductive journeys do not occur independent of social context and I’m aware of how institutions may disadvantage or oppress families, especially those belonging to marginalized groups. This space, and my support, is unequivocally pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-Black, pro-brown, pro-sex worker, pro-immigrant, and pro-abortion. It is trauma-informed, intersectional, and deeply committed to harm reduction.
