Tranquil Birth

Hi, My Name is Brandie Mercer. I have been married for Five years and have two children. I decided to become a Labor Doula after having such a wonderful birth experience with my first child. I chose to have a drug-free, out-of-hospital labor and delivery with a midwife at her birth center. I did a home birth with the same midwife with my second child. The experience was empowering and my goal as a Doula is to assist other women in achieving their Labor/ Delivery Goals. I do have a passion for educating women on the many options they have for birth and the pros and cons of each option. I advocate for a natural drug-free birth. However, if you make an educated decision to use any type of medication at any time--whether during or before labor-- I will support you 100%. After all, it is your body and your baby. My job is to help you have the labor and delivery that you want and desire--barring any medical complications. I believe that God created the woman's body to have babies and that the majority of women can go through labor and birth with little to no medical intervention. I also believe that God created the baby to be able to tolerate labor and delivery as well.
