About Breathe Birth Services
Who am I?
Hi, I’m Brandi Thompson—Licensed Practical Nurse, Certified childbirth doula, Midwife Assistant, and Placenta Encapsulation Specialist. With over 12 years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with my husband of 15 years and our eight amazing children. When I’m not supporting families, I’m homeschooling, reading, enjoying date nights with my husband, or playing bunco with my church family.
My training
I’m a faith-based childbirth doula certified through Childbirth International, trained in fetal heart tone monitoring through Midwifery Wisdom School, and have served as a placenta encapsulation specialist for the past 10 years. I’m also certified in CPR and Neonatal Resuscitation. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital delivery, scheduled C-section, medicated or unmedicated, I’m here to help you feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way.
My personal pregnancy & birth journeys
As a mom of eight, I’ve experienced a wide range of births that shaped my passion for supporting other women. My journey began as a young teen mom with a scheduled induction and medicated hospital birth, followed by another medicated hospital delivery. With my third, I chose an unmedicated hospital birth supported by a midwife, which led me to pursue homebirth for my next three babies. One of those was a challenging birth involving shoulder dystocia, and the last two were beautiful homebirths as a geriatric mom—one of them delivering a 9 lb. 13 oz. baby.
My Mission
My heart is to empower women to make birth choices that align with their values and to walk with them through this sacred journey with strength, faith, and support. I believe every mother is created by God with the strength to birth and the wisdom to make informed decisions. It’s my mission to come alongside families with Christ-centered encouragement and evidence-based care, so they can welcome their babies with confidence, peace, and trust in God’s perfect design.
