Meet Brittany!
Brittany is a kind-hearted person, passionate professional, and a mother herself who will guide you along your journey. She brings over a decade of experience supporting pregnant and postpartum people and families of young children to her coaching services.
In 2020, she received her Masters Degree and embraced entrepreneurship by co-founding a private mental health practice specializing in Perinatal Mental Health and Early Childhood Mental Health Services in Northeastern, MN.
Brittany loves spending time with her family and friends. When she is not engaged in her work, she can be found beside her son making creations out of legos, adventuring in one of the many local forests, participating in an epic dance battle, or making art. Brittany is a self-proclaimed amateur geologist who enjoys agate picking along the shores of Lake Superior. She enjoys reading, writing, tending to her ever growing indoor plant collection, hiking and biking.
