As I’m making the transition to being a private practice midwife, I’m updating my website and social media 🥰.

I couldn’t do any of this without my wonderful clients…including this! There are two things y’all can help with:

-I’d love y’all to message or post reviews. Just a sentence or two about your experience with me as your doula or while I’ve been a student at your birth. 💖

- if you have pictures of me in action and don’t mind them being used on my website or social media, message me and we can chat about specifically what you’re ok with and I can send a media release to sign. 📸

Raise your hand if this is among the top ten questions you get from people considering a non-hospital birth.

A nuchal cord is a medical way of saying that baby’s cord is wrapped around their neck. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
This is something you’ve probably heard about and you may even know someone who had this happen during their birth. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
❗This isn’t at all surprising because nuchal cords are actually quite common – occurring in a little more than 1 in 3 births!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
And even though the idea of the cord being wrapped around the neck seems very scary, in reality, the chance of any complications is rare. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Sometimes we know about nuchal cords ahead of time because they are seen on ultrasound, but in many cases, we don’t know until baby is born.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
👉🏻 The most common complication occurs during labor. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Basically, when the cord is wrapped around baby’s neck, it can be compressed during contractions, which in turn reduces the amount of blood (and therefore oxygen) that is getting to baby. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Often time, we see a decrease in baby’s heart rate on the fetal monitor, which tells us the cord is being compressed in some way - and many times we can intervene!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
🤔 Did you know that this usually isn’t a cause for complications during birth?⁠

Couldn’t have said it better! 💯

Take some time today to dwell on this message from MCU alum and founder of

We are honored to share a powerful and deeply personal reflection from NACPM Board Member Priestess Okunsola M. Amadou— and Founder of Folk Midwife & Birth Priestess Pathways.

In her piece, “The Restoration of the Roots of Midwifery,” Okunsola calls us back to the sacred origins of this work. She weaves ancestral wisdom with present-day truth, naming the harm of erasure and inviting us to restore midwifery to its rightful place: rooted in tradition, guided by spirit, and led by the wisdom of Black and Indigenous midwives.

This is not just a post—it’s a remembering, a reclamation, and a call to action. We hope you’ll take time to read and share it.

Reteach the Breech! 💖 I spent the weekend learning all about breech and twin births plus maneuvers to aid in vaginal breech birth with THE Dr. Stu! Not all breech deliveries have to be surgical 💖

Also: read his shirt! So so true! I know this from personal experience 😉🤩
