The goal of this episode is to educate parents & professionals on why they might choose to work with a Doula, how to select a doula and when they should start their search. We also share tips on what makes a doula great and what kinds of things you should be weary of. 

Based in Austin, Brenda Marlin has been helping families find their own path to parenthood since 2003. She is a certified birth and postpartum doula, certified lactation support counselor, and a childbirth educator. With a loving mama’s heart and a gift for listening deeply, Brenda offers nurturing, non-judgmental, compassionate, inclusive care, individualized for your family’s needs and values. She helps you create your perfect birth and postpartum team, guides you to tap into your own strength and voice, and empowers you to make the best choices for yourself and your growing family. 

She lives in South Austin with her wife, Joye, and her offspring, Madelyn, Lizzie, Rachel, and Alex. Her days are full and a little crazy with work, school, martial arts, dance, theater, and the calendar coordination and driving duty they entail. During treasured downtime together, they enjoy playing games – board, card, and video alike and indulging their shared fandoms. At their house, pets are cherished family members and nerdy is a great way to be.
