There is something incredibly special about being invited back into a family’s birth space.

This mama trusted me with her first baby just over two years ago at the birthing centre… and this time, she called me again. That kind of trust is never lost on me.

The plan was another birthing centre birth, but birth has a way of reminding us that it writes its own story.

As she approached 42 weeks, it became clear that I wouldn’t physically be there. I was in Mexico, supporting her from a distance, texting from the beach through early labour, staying connected as things began to intensify, and making sure she felt held every step of the way.

And this is where I say it louder for the people in the back
birth workers need support too.

I’m endlessly grateful for my backup doula, who stepped in seamlessly. This work is unpredictable, all-consuming, and deeply intimate. We cannot do it well without strong, reliable support systems behind us.

Together with her midwife, my backup doula, and her partner, this mama was surrounded.

She arrived at the hospital in strong, active labour, moving quickly into transition. Focused. Grounded. In her body.

Her vision was clear
hands-free
no unnecessary intervention
complete trust in the process

And when it came time to meet her baby, she followed her instincts, on her hands and knees, in her power, and birthed her 10.5 pound baby, drug-free.

Let that sink in.

This is what it looks like to trust your body.
To take your time.
To make informed choices that feel right for you.

We live in a world that often rushes birth, questions overdue pregnancies, and plants fear around “big babies.”

But your body is not a liability.
It is designed with intention.

10.5 pounds is a big baby,
but it is not an impossible one.

And this birth
was proof of that.

While I was recognized for my work in maternal and fetal health, the most meaningful part of the evening was the opportunity to use my voice to advocate for women. Sometimes speaking up is uncomfortable. Sometimes it comes with consequences. But real change has never come from staying quiet.

It feels purposeful that those words were spoken on the eve of International Women’s Day.

To the women in this community, thank you for trusting me to walk alongside you during one of the most monumental and transformative journeys a woman can experience: motherhood. Being invited into those spaces — pregnancy, birth, postpartum — is something I never take lightly.

Your strength, vulnerability, and resilience inspire me every single day.

Today I celebrate you. The mothers, the daughters, the sisters, the friends, the women who continue to lift one another up and push our communities forward.

It is truly an honour to do this work beside you.

Every year I come back to this island.

People assume it’s because my family is here.
Because the beaches are beautiful.
Because the water feels like medicine and the pace forces me to slow down.

And yes… all of that is true.

But there’s something deeper here. There always has been.

Long before ferries and beach clubs, this island was sacred. The ancient Maya believed that Ixchel, goddess of the moon, fertility, love, and healing, lived here. Women crossed open water by canoe, risking their lives just to arrive on these shores.

They came to pray.
To ask for children.
For protection.
For strength.
They left offerings. Small statues of the goddess.

When Spanish explorers landed here in 1517, they found the island filled with images of women. That is how it became Isla Mujeres, Island of Women.

For centuries, women have been drawn here.

So I can’t help but wonder…

Am I pulled back each year because it’s familiar?
Because it’s tradition?
Or because I, too, feel connected to the echo of women who came before?

Maybe the pull isn’t just about vacation.

Maybe it’s sacred.
Maybe it’s the quiet memory of women gathering.
Celebrating their bodies.
Manifesting strength.
Standing together as sisters.

Maybe she’s still here. 🌙

And maybe that’s why I always return.

I filmed my boys replaying something that happened recently.

When Donald Trump congratulated the American men’s hockey team on winning gold, he followed it up with a joke about being “obligated” to invite the women’s team too, despite the fact that they also won gold.

The entire room laughed.

And that’s the part that sticks with me.

Because this isn’t about politics. It’s about how easily women’s accomplishments are dismissed. Even when they win. Even when they stand at the top of the podium. Even when they do the exact same thing.

There has always been a struggle in women’s sports. There still is. The divide isn’t about ability. It’s about gender.

What matters most to me is what happens in the room. In the locker room. In the silence after a joke lands.

Change doesn’t happen because everyone suddenly agrees. It happens when one person says, “That’s not funny.” It would only take one man in that change room to shift the tone. I’m willing to bet most of them would’ve followed.

I’m raising four hockey players.

Someday, I hope they’re not just strong athletes, but strong men. Men who don’t default to laughter when something undermines someone else. Men who recognize that power isn’t in going along with the room, it’s in having the courage to stand apart from it.

If we want change in women’s sports, it starts here. It starts with our boys.

Many moons ago, a couple reached out to me for doula support after years of fertility struggles. This pregnancy was deeply fought for. As someone who gets pregnant easily and has four healthy children, I remember feeling overwhelming gratitude for my own body, and in the same breath, complete awe of theirs.

As her due date approached, this first time mama was ready. Labour began, and she coped beautifully. When things intensified, she chose an epidural. Not from fear or failure, but wisdom. The rest allowed her body to soften and she progressed to fully dilated.

She pushed with everything she had. We tried all the positions. After two hours, baby’s heart rate climbed and intervention was needed. She understood her choices. She gave consent. And still, birth can be empowered and traumatic at the same time.

Her baby was born safe and long awaited.

But she did not get those first sacred minutes the way she imagined. No immediate skin to skin. She watched her baby from across the room for the first ten minutes of their life.

In the days that followed, she shared something so important. She did not feel connected the way she thought she would. After years of waiting, she felt disappointed in herself for not feeling overwhelming joy.

This matters.

There is a massive hormonal shift after birth. Add exhaustion. Add physical recovery. Add a birth that did not unfold as expected. Of course bonding can feel complicated. It does not mean she loves her baby any less. It does not mean she is not grateful. It means she is human.

Bonding is not always a lightning bolt. Sometimes it is a slow burn.

However you feel in those first days, you are not broken. You are becoming. 🤍

Mexico bound ☀️🌊

While this is a family vacation, birth work doesn’t clock out.

Supporting families means living in a constant state of readiness. Babies don’t plan around holidays, long weekends, or travel days. When you work in this field, you learn to hold both joy and responsibility at the same time. You can be on a beach… and still be on call.

My phone will be with me and I’ll be checking messages throughout the day. If you need support, reassurance, or have something come up, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here for you.
