Embracing Oak Midwifery

The sweetest sound ✨ Such a release of emotion when you hear the heartbeat for the first time!!

10 weeks ✨

I plan to share my whole midwifery journey with you all this time around ☺️ Giving you a glimpse of the amazing work us midwives do! Midwifery is a more intimate, individualized kind of prenatal care… Spent with more time educating woman & giving them true informed consent… Building an actual relationship with your provider making you feel safe, comfortable, and supported throughout your childbearing journey ❤️
I get asked a lot if I just birth on my own without any help & the answer is definitely not!! I rely on my midwifery colleagues throughout my whole pregnancy journey because it’s great to get other midwives points of view & I 100% go into “labor land” during my births so I need the support of my midwife team!!

BIG announcement 🙌🏻 I’m pregnant & expecting my 5th baby in September 2026 🥹

I will be accepting clients in July and early August now but only repeats during my delivery window in end of August & September!

I will have to slow down from October and on so I won’t be accepting as many clients as I usually do so if you get pregnant this year make sure to book your spot with me ASAP as spots will fill up fast!!

Grateful to be a midwife & a mother ❤️

Beautiful views going to a home visit today for a client 🌲Being in nature, especially the mountains, has always brought me so much happiness! Praying one day that I will get to live in such peace!!

Taking it back to the first day of us starting our midwifery journey together 🤍 I couldn’t of asked for a better sister midwife… The way we show up for woman in birth, balancing out each others strengths & weaknesses brought tears to my eyes today! We can’t be everything for every family we serve but together we get pretty damn close! Proud of us 🙌🏻

This little guy & his mama breaking the myths of fear based care 🤍 The biggest downfall of our standard medical system is trying to place everyone in the same box. Individualized care is a must, informed consent is a must, respect for your client’s decisions for their care is a must!! This mama couldn’t find an OB or midwife to support her in her determination to redeem her natural right to birth her baby vaginally after being broken down 3x before, told that her body isn’t capable of vaginal birth & that she could only have cesarean sections but she found me! I will forever support women who believe in the strength of their body & babies regardless of what society tries to tell them, taking the reigns on their own education to make evidence based decisions & not make decisions based out of fear!
This mama rocked her VBAC after 3 cesarean sections, keeping faith in her body even after stop & go labor for 5 days, with her waters ruptured that whole time (YES ruptured, let’s talk about it!)!

Family Centered Birth 🌿 One of the biggest reasons I chose midwifery care for myself was so that my children could be immersed in these experiences with me, being able to witness their mother’s strength, being able to connect with their siblings the moment they are brought into this world, to remove any fears that would normally be instilled in them as they grow, to be able to know how to support their wives when they become fathers, to know how incredible their bodies are when they become mothers… My children are my biggest support system & with them by my side I know I am capable of doing anything 🤍

Make Home Birth Great Again 🇺🇸 One of the greatest things about giving birth at home is getting tucked into your bed, surrounded with support from your loved ones as you take that much needed initial rest in the comfort of your own home. Your midwife on speed dial if there are any concerns but knowing she’s going to be coming back the next day to check on your healing and baby’s transition to the world. Bringing low risk medical care back into families homes is such an honor as a midwife ❤️

Love this community ❤️ Glad I’ll get to keep serving it with all the sister midwives I started with!!
