Welcome!

We're Pivot Point Birth Co., a doula partnership

Local Doulas, Gemma Mrizo and Betty Wright, have joined forces and birthed a doula partnership, Pivot Point Birth Co. Together, we help birthing families transform their hospital births into a peaceful, family-centered experience.

Connected, Balanced, Dynamic

We work in lockstep from the start, and by the time you’re in labor, you’ll know and love us both. But the big perk?! The big perk is that you’ll have two birth nerds to give you advice and support every step of the way. Our goal is for you to navigate your birth decisions with educated confidence. We want you to be in the driver’s seat and feel confident switching gears when the time comes. (Ha! See what I did there?! Pivot Point!) Picture yourself in labor, feeling calm and confident. So, the question is, how do you get that peaceful feeling? That’s where we come in.

Hear from my families

I am SO incredibly lucky to have had Betty by my side throughout my pregnancy and labor/delivery. She is knowledgeable in all types of birth both medicated and unmedicated, vaginal and cesarean. She was just a phone call away whenever I had a concern or just needed a pep talk. When I doubted my ability to continue without an epidural she was there to cheer me on. If you have the ability to choose Betty as your doula you will be so very lucky. She is a wonderful person who truly cares about her clients.

It's hard to sum up all the emotions from birth but hiring Gemma was the best and most grounding thing I did for my birth experience. The best way to explain her support, it's like hiring a professional mother! She was supportive in the big moments and especially in the small moments that mean so much. Her words are still in my ear, "you're doing better than you think." Such a wonderful soul.
