This is one my my clients sweet baby girl. She came really early at 22 weeks. She is doing great so far, she has been a fighter from the moment she was born.

Today, my beauties graduate highschool!! How did we get here so fast! 💗
It feels like just yesterday I had found out I was having twins and I was anxious and scared. However, God blessed us with these two sweet, amazing girls that were so easy to raise since they were born.

To all my fellow expecting mamas in Tampa Bay. This isn't your standard childbirth education class!

Taught by two certified Body Read Method®️ Pros. Joanna Guzman- Certified Doula and Stephanie Huffman- Perinatal Pelvic Floor Therapist.
We‘ve lost our natural birthing instincts. We’ve medicalized a physiological process that your body was designed for. Medical interventions have their place and are responsible for saving many lives, but they’ve become overused and routine when birth is not going smoothly. Often something as simple as a change of position can be enough to get labor going again, but many medical providers and birthing people just don’t know this anymore. But so much of what we now do on a daily basis is not helping your body be ready to give birth.

Our ancestors were all about squatting, walking and moving their bodies in ways we don’t do much of today. In fact, most of us only squat when a workout tells us to 🤸 (if that!).

Left a prenatal visit this evening and on my way home I get a call one of my clients is in preterm labor. This was around 8pm. I rush to meet them at the hospital. Baby girl was born at 2am at 22 weeks and 4 days. Mom is doing good. Baby is stable currently and in NICU. Please lift this family up in prayer and this little one 💓
Here I am taking a super tiny placenta home, dressed in shorts and flip flops at the hospital (not my usual attire lol)
I have been at Tampa General Hospital more than I would like to be within 2 weeks.

This was the first birth I supported after moving to Florida, and it was an HBAC (Homebirth After Cesarean). It was an incredible honor to be a part of this birth experience. This Mama worked tirelessly, laboring for many hours, but she never gave up and achieved the birth she desired.

Today, 1 year in a half later, I consider this client a friend. We stay in touch often; she cuts my hair and my daughters' hair, and one of my daughters babysits her boys. She is currently expecting and planning a 2HBAC. Unfortunately, I may not be able to be there, as I'll be on a cruise during her due date. I'm really hoping the baby arrives either before I leave or after I return, so I can be present--not as doula(because she has one supporting her, but as a friend.

It's not uncommon for my clients to become friend and stay in touch with me if they wish. This connection is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work ❤️
