Brigette Walters (she/her) is a holistic full-spectrum doula serving Austin and surrounding areas through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.  After 10 years of being an elementary school teacher, she decided to leave the profession to pursue her doula dreams and spend more time with her husband and two children.  Brigette trained and certified with Doula Trainings International (DTI) and is the owner and founder of Lotus & Luna LLC.  She established Lotus & Luna with the mission of providing compassionate care and guidance to empower and uplift families during this season of life.

Brigette’s journey started with the pregnancy and birth of her first child, which laid the foundation for understanding the power and strength of birthing people.  Her empathetic nature and calm demeanor create a grounding environment for her clients.  She serves as an advocate and active listener, providing steadfast, unconditional support free of judgment.  She understands that every birth and parenting experience is unique, and is proud to support all birthing people on their journey, no matter the experience they have had, hope to have, or end up having.  Brigette creates a safe space that allows her clients to embrace where they are, while ensuring they have the guidance and support needed to instill confidence and promote feelings of connection and peace.

Being a doula is within Brigette’s heart and soul, and through this work, her passion has grown for supporting families during the sensitive postpartum period.  She uses her expertise paired with her intuition and understanding of her clients’ wishes to provide personalized, nurturing care that helps families meet their postpartum goals.  It is with great importance that she provides her clients with evidence-based approaches to topics that arise.  It is her role to inform and inspire families to use their instinctive wisdom to make decisions about their baby, while showing up for each and every interaction with an unwavering, full heart.

Brigette believes in the restorative power of self-care, as she feels it has a positive and direct impact on one’s ability to give more and be more for others.  Self-care is a cornerstone of her practice as she knows how difficult it can be to allow yourself the energy to care for your mind and body, especially as you navigate the prenatal and postpartum periods.  With that, she is called to offer her clients the time, space, and tools needed to hold their mental and physical wellbeing at the forefront of their new lives.  Along this vein, Brigette carves out and embraces the time to do the things she loves.  She enjoys cooking, painting, hiking, camping, and most of all- spending time with her children, husband, and two lovable dogs. 

The path to parenthood is an exciting time as families embark upon new adventures, and it is with great joy and gratitude that she welcomes the opportunity to guide your journey.  Brigette feels she has truly stepped into her purpose, and is honored to be a part of such a profoundly transformative time in the lives of birthing people.
