Britni Linscome
60 min — $250
Britni is a wife, a mother, and a woman deeply convicted about the way we support birth, women, and family. Her calling is to guide and support women through conception, pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum in a way that honors God's design, invites deep trust in the body, and makes room for the full experience of transformation that motherhood brings. She believes women were not made to walk this journey full of fear, confusion, and disconnection. They were made with wisdom, design, and the capacity to live in deeper relationship with their bodies.
Her desire is to support mothers in living well, walking in peace, and caring for themselves and their families without outsourcing their authority or living under fear. It is a true honor for her to walk with women in this work.
"I never imagined the personal transformation that would happen for myself in just 8 sessions with Britni.”

TESTIMONIALS.
What Clients Are Saying.
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for your help. The session we had today was so freeing! I left that session feeling so incredibly light and happy. I cried tears of joy. To live with a certain story and fear for so long, and then be able to work through that with you, was life-changing. And I don't say that lightly. There was an incredible weight lifted off of my entire being, and I'm so grateful to you for your time, wisdom, and guidance."
Heather Steffes
"Working with Emilee completely changed how I relate to myself and others. The tools she taught me—especially the drama triangle and 100% responsibility—have become part of my daily life. I can see where I used to create unnecessary struggle and now have the awareness to choose peace instead. Working with Emilee has changed my relationships, my business, and the way I mother. It’s been the most liberating work I’ve ever done.
Julia Burke
"Working with Emilee has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my personal growth this year. I've done a lot of coaching and therapy over the years and felt I had exhausted that realm, but when I found Emilee, I realized I wanted what she embodies. She is sharp, grounded, and gifted at holding space.
Emilee is a powerful leader, and shows up in coaching sessions grounded, funny and warm. She brings compassion, directness, and a deep ability to meet me where I am.
I came to her wanting support around dating and the many layers that come with that, and the work we've done together has been trasnformative. Emilee has helped me move through old patterns, listen more closely to myself, and show up with more confidence, joy and clarity.
I would recommend coaching with Emilee to anyone who feels drawn to her work or is ready to move through personal or relational blocks. She is an incredible coach and mentor, and her offerings are a true gift!"
Charlotte Hardie
“If you're sick of new age spiritual fluff and want something real and deep, work with Caitlyn. She is a master space holder who trusts that each human is their own healer.”
Tara Gill
“The knowledge that Britni shares is unlike anything else I had experienced. Every woman should feel powerful and confident in her ability to carry, birth, nurture, and provide for her baby-and that’s exactly how Brit makes you feel. I never imagined the personal transformation that would happen for myself in just 8 sessions with her.”
Brii Wood
"Having Kaitlyn as my birth coach was one of the greatest gifts during my pregnancy. She had such a calm, confident presence that immediately put me at ease whenever I had questions or doubts. She has a wealth of knowledge, but what I appreciated most was how she broke everything down into a practical, easy-to-understand way that never felt overwhelming.
Her support gave me the confidence to trust my body and move forward with my decision to have a home birth, even during moments when I felt completely alone. She encouraged me, answered every question with patience, and reminded me that I was capable. I truly don’t know if I would have felt as prepared or confident without her. I am so grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any expecting mom looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and empowering birth support."
