Hello, and welcome to the website of Transitions Midwifery Services, LLC. My name is Brandy Brandfass; I am a midwife licensed by South Carolina, and am a registered nurse. I've been married to my husband, Jim, since 1995, and have three amazing children, Madeline, Abigail, and Robbie. I've been serving birthing families since 1995, first as a nurse, a birth assistant, then an apprentice, and now as a midwife.  I live in Goose Creek, and am honored to serve women within an approximate 75 mile radius from my home.

My journey to midwifery started as a child.  My mother taught Lamaze childbirth education classes, and I loved to browse through her materials, even before I could read.  I was in awe of what our bodies could do.  I went to nursing school, with full intention of becoming a Certified Nurse Midwife.  After school, I started working in labor and delivery, where I gained over 11 years of experience in all levels of care, including very high risk.  But I was losing that awe I'd had as a child, until my first child was born in the hospital. 

Then I realized, from a mother's perspective, that obstetrical care is all about the care provider and his or her fears, not about the birthing family.  I knew there had to be a better way.  Throughout my next pregnancy, I experienced true midwifery care and had a challenging but life-changing birth.  I realized that this is the way healthy women should bring forth their babies.  This is what I'd been searching to be a part of. 

Licensed midwives in South Carolina are required to take classes to certify in Neonatal (newborn) Resuscitation, and Adult CPR every two years.  We also must acquire a certain number of continuing education hours every 2 years to renew our licenses.  I also work hard to keep my nursing license active by staffing as needed at a local hospital.  Throughout my nursing career, I have acquired several specialty certifications, including Advanced Fetal Monitoring, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, and Pediatric Forensic Nurse Examiner.  I now have a special interest in alternative healing modalities, including homeopathy and herbal remedies.
