ELISHA DEVRIES
(she/her)
Elisha provides birth and postpartum doula support. She came onto our team in 2023 after training with DONA International and we are so very grateful to have her!
After two positive homebirth experiences of her own, Elisha has been passionate about birth as an opportunity for empowerment. Her desire is that every birthing person have agency over their decision-making and feel supported during the process.
Elisha is warm and attentive, has the best laugh, and gives the most comforting hugs.
ANNICA QUAKENBUSH
(she/they)
Annica founded Sprout and Blossom in 2016. She has attended over 100 births providing birth doula support, birth photography, and birth videography to her clients. She is a certified doula through DONA International and a certified birth photographer through Birth Becomes You. Annica provides postpartum doula support and works with clients one-on-one for somatic (body-based) practices, guided meditation, and breathwork. She also offers doula and birth photography mentorship.
BRANDI DOLL
(she/her)
Brandi is Sprout and Blossom’s placenta encapsulator. She has been encapsulating placentas since 2020.
After a challenging birth and postpartum time with her first baby, Brandi learned about all of the amazing benefits the placenta can provide after birth. We love having Brandi on our team so that we can offer this option to improve the postpartum experience for birthing people.
Fun fact: Brandi was one of Annica’s first birth photography clients and has since photographed Brandi and her family a dozen times.
Shay Gabriel
(she/her)
Shay is Sprout and Blossom’s content director extraordinaire. Her love of parenthood and psychology has merged into a super-obsession of all things birthy and baby. She believes an informed experience lends to an empowered experience, no matter where you are along the journey.
She works behind the scenes to make S&B a place where the broader community finds inspiration and has access to evidence-based information around pregnancy, birth, and parenting. S&B wouldn’t be the same without Shay!
