Where to find Brave Birth

What parents say

All of the ladies I've met with Brave Birth have been very kind and passionate about women and birth; Nicolette was our doula so this review is mostly about her.

★★★★★ — Damiana, 2017-07

Nicolette is trusted doula. Her even keel personality is one of the things I value the most. At a time when you worry about emotions running high, she can really balance out things. Nicolette also brings a lot of experience to the table.

★★★★★ — Tk, 2016-12

Nicolette was present at both of my births and is an absolutely incredible doula. She is kind and compassionate and her warmth under pressure are incredibly helpful. Most importantly for me, she is knowledgable and helpful.

★★★★★ — Jessie, 2016-12

Nicolette helped me with my natural hospital birth. She helped me trust my innate abilities to participate in the kind of birth experience I wanted to have. She is well worth the expense....

Frequently asked questions

Is Brave Birth a freestanding birth center or a hospital unit?
Their public listing categorizes them as doula and childbirth class, not a hospital maternity unit. Ask them directly where births take place and how they coordinate with hospitals, and confirm the details with your provider.
Does Brave Birth offer water birth?
Water birth isn't mentioned in the public information we have for Brave Birth. If a birthing tub matters to you, ask the facility directly — options change, and our data may not capture everything they offer.
Does Brave Birth accept insurance or Medicaid?
We couldn't confirm insurance details from public information. Ask the facility which plans they accept, and check with your insurer about coverage for the type of birth care you're planning.
How do I get in touch or see the facility?
