Tonight marks my last postpartum shift with one of the most beautiful families I’ve ever had the honor of serving. 🤍🙏🏽
Four months. That’s how long I’ve had the privilege of showing up for them — through the exhaustion, the uncertainty, the middle-of-the-night doubts, and the quiet, sacred moments that only new parents know.
I remember when holding their daughter for a bath felt terrifying to them. Tonight, they didn’t even need to think twice. They just… knew. Because they’ve become exactly the parents she needed them to be.
Watching two people find their footing, find each other, and find their confidence as a team — there are no words for how deeply that moves me. Every. Single. Time.
People ask me how I do this work and I always say the same thing: the families give more to me than I could ever give to them. This one especially. They reminded me why I answered this call to be a full spectrum doula🤍. They poured into me just by letting me pour into them.
The hardest part of this work will always be the goodbye. But a goodbye like this one — where they are fully ready, fully capable, and fully grounded — that’s not a loss. That’s the whole point. 💪🏽
To this sweet family: thank you for trusting me with the most tender season of your lives. You were a pure gift. I will carry you in my heart always.
And to my next family….the cutest little family from Australia 🦘🇦🇺I’m already grateful for you. ❤️ We’re going to have a blast!
