BRITTA BUSHNELL, PHD

Labor, Birth, and New Parenthood Specialist 

Author, Transformed by Birth

Dr. Bushnell is a wife and mother, and a childbirth, relationship, and parenthood specialist, author, and speaker.

Using cultural mythology and ritual preparation, Dr. Bushnell challenges hidden preconceptions and helps individuals, couples, and birth professionals cultivate new ways to approach life’s most important transitions. Having worked with new families for over two decades, Dr. Bushnell blends her professional experience of the childbearing year with her doctoral study in mythology and psychology bringing a fresh approach to an age-old human experience.

She is an engaging teacher, storyteller, and speaker, and whether she's addressing a room of expectant parents, new mothers, kids, or seasoned birth professionals, she has a way of captivating and inspiring them all.

Britta lives in Southern California with her husband and (when they are in town) their two sons, who are now young adults.

"Humans are meaning making, ritual crafting, religion creating beings. We wrap ourselves in stories and mythology that help us understand who we are and what is important. It is childbirth’s fundamental character as a rite of passage, as a moment of great transformation created by our biology, that makes it so ripe for mythological exploration."
