January 14 — C-Section Awareness Day 🤍
As a doula, I want to be clear:
I don’t push for Cesarean birth when it isn’t medically necessary. Research shows that having a doula lowers C-section rates, especially first-time Cesareans, by supporting informed decisions, physiologic birth, and continuous care.
And also…
A C-section is not a failure.
A mother never did anything wrong.
And no one gets to judge a birth they didn’t live.
I am also a C-section mom. My baby flipped breech during labor, and my birth took an unexpected turn. Planned, unplanned, emergency, voluntary—whatever the reason, I know how complex and emotional these births can be.
If your journey includes a Cesarean, I am still here to support you.
Why a doula still matters for C-section births: • Prenatal education, preparation, and advocacy
• Emotional support before and during surgery
• Partner support during unexpected changes
• Postpartum recovery, bonding, and lactation support
• Trauma-informed care and birth processing
Birth isn’t about how your baby arrived—it’s about how supported and respected you felt.
You deserve care, compassion, and support—every step of the way. 🤍

Why hire a doula?
Because you deserve to be supported, seen, and held, not just during birth, but throughout your entire journey.
A doula provides advocacy during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum, continuous support that follows you before, during, and after birth, not just in the hospital, prenatal and postpartum education so you feel informed and confident, in-home prenatal and postpartum massage for relaxation, pain relief, and nervous system calming, postpartum support before baby arrives to help you prepare emotionally and practically, and lactation support customized to your body, your baby, and your goals.
Even for seasoned mamas, having a doula means lower stress and cortisol, a calmer and more connected experience, and someone whose sole focus is you, not the clock, not protocols, and not just the baby.
Family and friends often lovingly focus on the baby.
A doula’s role is to hold the mother, emotionally, physically, and mentally.
For mamas with past trauma or triggers, a doula can help you process fears ahead of time, support you in communicating your needs, and advocate with your birth team to reduce retraumatization.
Your care should be customizable, supportive, and centered on you, before, during, and after birth.
If you’re looking for connection, calm, advocacy, and real support, that’s what I’m here for. 🤍

Prenatal and postpartum massage supports a mother’s body and mind by easing pain, reducing swelling, improving circulation, supporting better sleep, and lowering stress. When your prenatal doula is also the one providing massage, it builds trust, emotional safety, and deep connection before labor begins,whether you plan to birth at home, in a birthing center, or in a hospital. That familiar, compassionate presence helps lower cortisol levels, promotes relaxation, and provides steady, continuous support in labor, offering a level of comfort and connection that busy nurses and rotating medical staff can’t always provide. This intimate, ongoing bond can help moms feel calmer, more supported, and mentally stronger through labor, birth, and recovery. Book your prenatal/postpartum massage today, in the privacy of your own home.

🥳 New Year, New Seasons of Motherhood 🥳

A brand new year is here… and so are new beginnings. Some mamas are getting ready to welcome precious new babies. Some are entering the sacred, yet tender, season of postpartum. Some are stepping into the wild, beautiful adventure of raising toddlers and beyond… learning, growing, and breaking cycles as they go.

Wherever you are on your motherhood journey, preparing your heart before baby arrives, healing after birth, or seeking tools for confident, connected parenting, I want you to feel supported, encouraged, and equipped. 💛
That’s why I’m so excited about the three books I’ve written from my own story, my training as a doula, and my passion for helping families thrive:
📖 Book 1 – My Memoir:
A story of hope, faith, infertility, miscarriage, love, and finally… our miracle son, Judah. This book helps you get to know my heart, my journey, and why I care so deeply about the families I serve.
🤱 Book 2 – Postpartum Guide:
A compassionate, informative companion for anyone walking through the postpartum season. Perfect for new moms, baby shower gifts, or loved ones supporting a new mama.
👩‍👧 Book 3 – Parenting With Respect & Connection:
A gentle, authoritative, cycle-breaking approach to parenting toddlers and up, rooted in neuroscience, emotional connection, and realistic tools for real-life families.
All three books are available on Amazon 📦 and make wonderful “New Year, New Read” companions, whether you’re preparing, healing, learning, or growing.

Thank you for allowing me to support you, walk beside you, and cheer you on in every chapter of motherhood. You are never alone. 🤍

With football season underway, I got to think, being a doula is a lot like being a football fan. You’re not the one on the field, but you’re fully invested in the game. You feel every moment as if it were your own. You may not be the one giving birth, but you’re there through every contraction, every surge, every decision,your heart cheering, your breath holding, your spirit standing beside the mama as she moves toward victory.
Like any true fan, you study the game. You know the rules, the plays, the strategies, not because you’re calling the shots, but because understanding how the process unfolds helps you anticipate what’s coming next. You know the language of labor, the rhythm of contractions, and the emotional ebb and flow that shapes the journey. Your knowledge allows you to be ready with encouragement, tools, and calm when things get intense.
When the game gets tough, fans don’t walk away, they get louder. They cheer their team on, reminding them they’ve got what it takes. Doulas do the same. We whisper courage when doubt creeps in, offer grounding when fear rises, and hold space for strength to unfold. We respect the “players”, mama, their partner, and the medical team, knowing our role is not to take over, but to support the rhythm of teamwork and trust.
And when the touchdown happens,when that baby finally arrives,we feel the joy and tears as if we’d scored ourselves. It’s a moment of triumph and awe that never gets old. Even when the last “game” was long, unpredictable, or emotionally draining, we show up again,because our hearts are in it for life. Being a doula, like being a football fan, is about passion, presence, and the unshakable belief that witnessing greatness is a privilege.🏈🏈🏈🏈
