✨ Birth is a Sacred Ceremony ✨
Support isn’t one size fits all.
Your bestie’s OB? Your sister’s midwife? Maybe they’re not for you.
Even the “most recommended” doula in all the mom groups? Might not be your match. Even your friends and family need to pass the vibe check!

⚠️ Beware of providers (or support people) who:

• Doubt your capacity to work with intensity
• Say “we’ll see” when you share your plan
• Push their own agenda over your vision

Your team should see you as powerful. Sacred. Fully capable.

Think I might be your doula? Book a call with me (link in bio) and let’s find out! I’m full for 2025 and booking up fast for the current 2026 due dates, so jump on my calendar fast. 🥰

If you saw the magic that I’ve seen, you would be shouting it from the rooftops too.

When birth is surrounded by reverence instead of fear, women walk out viewing themselves in their full power.

Give yourself the same patience you gave AOL, Lime Wire, and the printed directions from Mapquest! Your baby will be born exactly when they are ready. 😌🤍

And let me know, what song broke your family computer? 😂

I’m baaaaaack 💃

After a wonderful almost 2 years off to observe my postpartum window, I’m back to hosting mothers circles!

Our first one was a beautiful night of circling, connection, and clay!

Our next event will focus on ✨alignment✨ and who better to help us with alignment than from

You can expect a warm and delicious meal, chair massage, a spine assessment, and conversation with women in the same season of motherhood as you!

Herb sitz bath, full body massage, and belly binding. 💆‍♀️🌿🍵 Our bodies know how to heal, but loving touch, heat, and herbs go a long way during postpartum recovery. I love being able to experience birth with a mama and then help her settle into postpartum. 🤍

Not birth related; but… Happy Anniversary to my rock. I would not be on this journey or doing the work that I do without your support and encouragement. Thank you for packing my snacks and setting my birth bag in my car every time I leave - even if it’s in the middle of the night. For making the bed and setting out my PJ’s and then listening to me decompress after each birth. I love you to the moon and back. Team Charlton forever. 💖

Here’s what I love about a good birth plan - I love seeing parents with the “we did it” glow all over their faces. Because, yes we had a preferred course… BUT we also had back up plans that were aligned with both parents goals and values. SO MANY things changed from the “preferred” plan during this particular experience… and at the end of the day we could look at the birth plan/ check list and say, “everything that was deeply important was ACHIEVED and RESPECTED”.
