I DID IT!!! Between birth clients, postpartum clients AND a full time job I limped my way through this course and on November 17th I completed the final steps and received my certification as a placenta encapsulation specialist!! I’m in a little bit of a daze and still can’t believe that I made it to the finish line!

This work has been such a calling! Walking alongside families through pregnancy, birth and those tender postpartum days has filled my heart in ways I can’t even describe. 💕

Over the past year and a half I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to expand my services and create an even more nurturing experience for the families I serve and now some big changes are coming soon! 🌸

Stay tuned, I’m so excited to share what’s next for this journey! Thank you to all the families who have trusted me to be part of their story, you’ve inspired every step of this growth! 🩷💙👶🏻

🩷Support for the whole family!🩷

At a recent birth in July, I had the honor of supporting not only the birthing parents but also the grandparents, who were completely overwhelmed with emotion when they arrived immediately after their grandbaby came into the world.

It was such a powerful moment filled with joy, relief, love, awe and pure wonder all rolled into one. As I offered reassurance and gentle words to help them stay grounded, I could feel my own eyes welling up, I’ll admit I struggled to hold back the tears right along with them! 🥹

A few days ago I received an unexpected thank you gift from those grandparents. It wasn’t about the gift itself, but the thought behind it, a quiet recognition of what we all shared in that sacred moment. It reminded me why I do this work. Birth isn’t just about welcoming a baby, it’s about holding space for every heart in the room. The love, the emotion, the generations, it’s all part of the story. And every time, it humbles me to be invited in. 🩷

I submitted my protocol on Tuesday. This is where all my photo documentation went for submission to the review board. It could take up to 30 days and require possible edits before it’s approved and I’m able to move on to the final two modules of the course (yes there’s STILL more!) If you know me, you know that my worry meter is off the chart and will stay there until I hear from the board, but a night with my favorite country artist Dwight Yoakam calmed the nerves for a little while! ☺️

ACOG reaffirms the safety and benefits of acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
More than two decades of research have found no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.

🌸 What a postpartum doula is and why you might want one. 🌸

Bringing home a new baby is beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming. That’s where a postpartum doula comes in 💕

Unlike a nanny or a nurse, a postpartum doula is there to support the whole family emotionally, physically, and practically. From helping with newborn care and feeding support to making sure you get a shower and a nap, their goal is to help you heal, bond, and thrive in those tender early weeks and beyond!

✨ Services might include:
🍼 Breastfeeding/bottle feeding support
🥘 Light meal prep
🛏️ Encouraging rest and recovery
💬 A listening ear when emotions run high
🧺 Light household help so you can focus on baby

Having a postpartum doula isn’t a luxury it’s an investment in your well being and confidence as a parent. 💪💗
