The truth is… our medical system isn’t built to fully support postpartum healing. Providers are doing their best, but most simply aren’t given the education or tools for deep, root-level postpartum recovery. That’s why so many mothers feel unseen, unsupported and left to figure it out on their own.

But, there IS a way forward •~ I have tools to help you rebuild your foundation and find the healing you deserve.

Where do you feel postpartum care is missing or misunderstood?

March was a beautiful blur of strength, love, and new life.
One peaceful home birth, one empowering hospital birth—both natural, intentional, and so deeply beautiful.
Between daytime and overnight postpartum support, I’m only now coming up for air. Welcome earthside, little ones!

Then, she rested.
She retreated.
She reclaimed the energy she had strewn about the universe.

She accepted the uncertainty of loose ends and the necessity of severing old ties.

She forgave herself and others and promised to begin new.

She took time to breathe, to settle, to dismiss old worries and matters of little consequence to this time
in her life.

She gathered herself and returned to a space of gentle peace without judgment.

The stillness of love dawns in her heart and she is overjoyed to awaken to its presence. Jody Doty

Your instincts are in you. If you can’t hear them, learn to sit quiet, listen and feel. You will always know what’s best for you and your baby. 🤍

Girl gets pregnant at 20:
“She’s too young to have a baby.”

Girl gets pregnant at 35:
“She’s risking her baby’s health!”

Girl considers abortion:
“I can’t believe she’s just going to get rid of her baby.”

Girl keeps the baby:
“How’s she going to afford that baby?”

Girl gets benefits:
“Wow, she’s so lazy.”

Girl gets a job:
“How can she stand to be away from her baby all day?”

Girl becomes a stay-at-home mom:
“She probably does nothing all day.”

Girl stops hanging out with friends:
“She totally changed after having the baby.”

Girl goes out:
“She’s always partying.”

Girl wants to leave a bad boyfriend:
“Nobody knows how to work things out anymore.”

Girl stays with a bad boyfriend:
“She’s so dumb.”

Girl eats a burger:
“Fatty.”

Girl eats a salad:
“Must be one of those starving health nuts.”

Girl is overprotective of her child:
“You need to relax, helicopter mom.”

Girl lets her child play independently:
“Where is this kid’s mom?”

Girl disciplines her child:
“Call Protective Services!”

Girl refuses to discipline:
“Her kids are going to be such brats.”

No matter what you do, people will talk.
So focus on what’s best for you and your baby.
Not what others say.

Truth ✨

Never tell a woman she can't do it." Remember that only she could dance with two hearts. Only she has breathed with four lungs. Only she has been able to carry in her belly the weight of two worlds, and she has given birth to life screaming. Don't tell a woman she's not capable of something because she's capable of everything. "

Our bodies are more capable than we think or believe to grow, birth and feed babies, just as our ancestors were. You can do this with patience and in your own time.
