Meet Your Village Monday ✨

Brandi Roberson, IBCLC, OM is the owner of Bay Area Breastfeeding. As an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant with advanced training in oral habitation, she takes a comprehensive approach to assessing each mother & baby as their own unique duo.

Brandi is so passionate about making a positive impact on the breastfeeding journey for new & experienced mothers & their babies. Her goal is to be your advocate & teach the best, evidenced-based research on lactation practices. She has professional & personal lived experience with oral restrictions & dysfunctions, and the challenges these can bring to the breastfeeding journey. She aims to help moms reach their breastfeeding goals, no matter what that may look like.

In Brandi’s words: “The fresh emotions of a new baby can feel overwhelming — let me help soften the transition of learning so many new skills at once.”

We LOVE having Brandi within The Village! We see the impact she has on so many women & babies, and fun fact — two of our Village providers have benefitted from Brandi’s compassionate lactation care as well! 🤱🏻

Meet Your Village Monday ✨

Morgan Bradwell, LICSW, PMH-C is the founder of Village Therapy Collective. Morgan is a licensed independent clinical social worker, a certified EMDR therapist, & a certified perinatal mental health specialist through Postpartum Support International.

Morgan’s passionate about all things women’s health, trauma recovery, & maternal mental health. She’s a firm believer that we all make sense in the context of what we’ve walked through, & that we all deserve villages of support as we navigate new seasons in life.

In addition to general women’s mental health concerns (like anxiety, depression, major life transitions, etc), Morgan is specialized in treating the impacts of traumatic experiences that disproportionately affect women — such as sexual trauma, childhood trauma, abuse recovery, medical trauma, infertility, miscarriage & stillbirth, birth trauma, NICU experiences, & more.

She practices from a trauma-informed approach rooted in attachment, somatics, and compassion-focused care. She loves to help women integrate their mind & body in order to find the way out of survival mode.

Outside of her clinical practice, she co-hosts a free monthly motherhood support group, facilitates a consultation group for therapists, & offers specialized trainings to other healthcare providers.

In her spare time, you can find her sipping a cinnamon oat milk latte with her husband while her daughters make mischief together ☕️🫶🏼

If your heart feels heavy from the weight of guilt & shame, let this truth be a place to lay that weight down:

You didn’t do anything wrong, mama.

You did not cause your child’s autism by addressing your own pain or illness.

It’s okay to ask “why” when our motherhood journeys don’t look like we envisioned.

But please don’t let society answer that question by pointing fingers at you.

You’re doing a great job 🫶🏼

ACOG reaffirms the safety and benefits of acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
More than two decades of research have found no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.

Happy 2nd birthday to The Mama Village! 🎉

In 2023 I approached Tiffany Jones, DC about creating a free monthly moms group — the first of its kind to be led by perinatal professionals in our city — to help moms build community within in the postpartum season.

Two years, dozens of women, lots of earthside babies, a few angel babies, plenty of sleep deprivation, quite a few laughs, & a whole lot of coffee later, The Mama Village is still going strong 🫶🏼

Thank you to Red Bar Espresso for offering us the space to facilitate this group & keep it free to anyone in the community!

And shout out to one of our lovely mamas who made this GORG cake to celebrate today 🤩

So grateful for this new resource coming soon to Baldwin county!

The journey to parenthood is not always easy, and experiences of infertility, miscarriage, or pregnancy loss can bring profound—often unseen—grief. This group is designed as a safe place for women walking this difficult road to share friendship, encouragement, and resources together. This once a month support group is for women walking through infertility or pregnancy loss.

Join Dr. Kristen Curtis Wright and Elizabeth Macklem on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM in the CLC Parlor. The first gathering kicks off September 16!
