Helping you find the support you need, encouraging you to have the birth and postpartum you desire.
hey thereI’m Bri Rice, RN, CD
I’m a mother, wife, and doula dedicated to creating safe spaces for families to settle into their perinatal journey with confidence. Outside of supporting families, you’ll find me traveling to Ireland to visit family, cozying up with a book, or spending quality time with my wife and toddler. I’m a California native that happily lives in Connecticut, enjoying all this state has to offer!
The path that led me here
2011A call to care for parents and babies led me to becoming a postpartum turned labor and delivery nurse. I learned so much!
2021After 10 years, I transitioned into full time doula work to support families in a new, more fulfilling manner
2023I became a childbirth educator, helping families avoid much of the mess I saw in the hospitals through preparation
todayNow, I’m excited to take everything I’ve learned to connect families and doulas for optimal birth experiences
WHAT DO WE HAVE IN COMMON?
✔My favorite way to spend a quiet morning:
My coffee in two hands, while my son works on a quiet craft nearby. Simple, cozy, grounding.
The Café by New England Coffee Guy in West Hartford. I have a soft spot for anyone who leaves a stable corporate career to chase an entrepreneurial dream.
✔My favorite Connecticut coffee shop:
Rest is vital. It’s not optional—it’s essential for mental health. Even an hour-long nap here and there matters. Something is always better than nothing.
✔My philosophy on rest:
The energy of the space—and whether it feels like a place where they can truly relax and be themselves.
✔I notice when entering a client’s home:
To be believed in. Parents deserve support from someone who trusts their abilities and capabilities—especially in those early days. They deserve to feel nurtured, not questioned.
✔ What I believe parents deserve:
Love, BriI know the headache families go through as they try to find a doula they trust that meets their needs, timeline, personality, beliefs and values.
