This sweet Mama Bear went in for a Cook’s Foley balloon induction and whew, her body said “I got this.” The balloon fell out within an hour, and just like that she went from 1 cm to 4 cm in no time. Her contractions picked up, and she handled them like an absolute champ.

From the very beginning, consistent worship music filled the room, and it truly set the atmosphere. There was peace, grounding, and a constant reminder that she wasn’t doing this alone.

Later, when things slowed down a bit, she was started on Pitocin and chose to get an epidural and let me say this loud and clear: that choice was powerful and valid. I am the kind of doula who supports whatever my clients desire, and she chose what felt best for her body and her birth.

Once the contractions picked back up, Mama Bear did exactly what she needed most; she rested. She slept through them, allowing her body to recharge for the work ahead.

I had to leave at 1 a.m. to catch a 5 a.m. flight the next day (one of the hardest goodbyes), but we stayed in constant contact. And wouldn’t you know it, her sweet baby boy made his entrance right as I was pulling up to the airport. Perfect timing, honestly. 🥹

He is the cutest little thing, and I came to visit as soon as I was back home. And yes, he loves to smile at me already, so I’ll take that as a win.

This birth holds a special place in my heart because I am so incredibly proud of this Mama Bear for choosing herself first. The first hospital she hoped to birth at made her feel “crazy” for knowing her rights and making informed decisions. The second hospital welcomed her with open arms and that made all the difference. We are beyond thankful for that experience.

Anyway… before I keep rambling 😂
✨ Welcome to the world, Doula Baby #52. ✨
You are so deeply loved already.

From the quiet hours of Thursday at 12:00am to the soft light of Friday morning around 8:00am, this mama labored with a strength that was steady, calm, and powerful. Contraction after contraction, she remained grounded—so much so you could hardly tell she was in pain. She moved with intention, breathed with purpose, and trusted her body every step of the way.

When decisions needed to be made, she paused and used the BRAIN method with confidence, asking questions, weighing her options, and staying aligned with her wishes. She never lost sight of her end goal—and because of that, she achieved exactly what she set out to do. Watching her advocate for herself with such clarity was nothing short of inspiring.

Then came her sweet baby boy—born with a full head of hair and an appetite that let everyone know he had arrived ready to take on the world. 💙 Welcome to the world, Baby Lloyd Vance IV.

This birth marks doula baby #50 for me, a milestone I will forever hold close to my heart. Thank you, Mama Bear, for trusting me with such a sacred space. I am truly, deeply proud of you and honored to have walked alongside you in this journey.

🌸 Root & Return Placenta Services 🌸

Postpartum is a season of healing, grounding, and coming back home to yourself.

I’m excited to share that placenta encapsulation services are coming soon through Root & Return Placenta Services 🤍 A service rooted in respect, tradition, and informed choice.

Placenta encapsulation is a practice some families choose as part of their postpartum care to support:
✨ recovery after birth
✨ energy and nourishment
✨ emotional balance
✨ overall postpartum wellness

This service is handled with intention, care, and proper safety standards and always offered with education first. There is no one “right” way to do postpartum. This is simply one more option for those who feel called to it.

🌱
Questions are always welcome.

Rooted in tradition. Returned in care. 🧘🏾

In the stillness of the early morning, around 2:00am, this powerful home birth journey began when her water broke at home—calm, quiet, and full of anticipation. From the very start, Mama met every contraction with strength and confidence. She didn’t just ride the waves… she bodied them.

As labor picked up and we reached transition, the sounds filling the room said it all. Her moans and groans were deep, instinctual, and certain—she was READY. And just as her body declared it, it didn’t take long at all. Shortly after 6:30am, in the space she intentionally chose, her baby made a beautiful entrance into the world.

As a repeat client, it meant everything to be her first choice for support again. With her first birth being precipitous, we were definitely a little on edge this time—saying prayers and half-joking that baby wouldn’t decide to arrive in the car on the way to the birth location. But we made it 😂 and what a victory that was.

Watching the relationship we’ve built over the years continue to blossom has been such a gift to me. I am beyond proud of both mom and dad for boldly going after the home birth they desired and trusting the process together.

Welcome to the world, sweet Baby Girl. Doula baby #49—an honor I’ll always hold close. 💕

🤎✨ Black History Month Reflection ✨🤎

As I’ve just begun reading about Gladys Milton, I already see so much of myself in how she started this sacred work. The calling. The way it found her before she even had words for it. The heart for community, for women, for babies—long before titles or formal recognition ever came.

Her story is a reminder that birth work isn’t always chosen in a traditional way. Sometimes it chooses you. And when I read about her beginnings, it feels like looking into a mirror, just in different times, but the same purpose.

To walk a path that our ancestors once walked is humbling. To recognize yourself in their story is affirming. And to know that their legacy lives on through us? That’s powerful.

Thank you, Gladys Milton, for paving the way. I promise to honor it well. 🌿🤎

She went into labor carrying a quiet confidence, even when the hours stretched long and exhaustion tried to creep in. Over 24 hours of steady work, her body never gave up. What started slowly soon began to build momentum—2 centimeters, then 4, then 6—and with each step forward, she leaned deeper into her strength. By the time she reached 8, there was no doubt: her body knew exactly what it was doing. When she arrived at 10, it felt like everything clicked into place.

She delivered vaginally, exactly as she had hoped, trusting the process and honoring the plan she worked so hard to create. She spoke up for herself, made informed choices, and stayed grounded in what she wanted for her birth. Her body did what it was created to do, and she met every wave with determination and grace. I am beyond proud of her—for her endurance, her voice, and her unwavering belief in herself. This birth was powerful, intentional, and a true reflection of her strength.

Welcome Doula Baby #48, the much needed peace. 🫶🏾

This Mama Bear went into labor hoping for a peaceful home VBAC. She labored with so much strength for 36 hours, but the pain became intense in a way that didn’t feel normal. The contractions were consistent, but something about them felt off. She listened to her body and said, “This pain is too much. I want to go to the hospital.”

And thank God she did.

Once we arrived, her care team found her uterus was extremely thin on two sides—a “window.” Had she continued her TOLAC at home, she likely would’ve ruptured. Her intuition protected her.

Her cesarean was calm and non-emergent, but waiting any longer could’ve made it an emergency. Baby was born safely, and Mama Bear did absolutely AMAZING.

I’m so proud of her. Not just for wanting a VBAC, but for trusting her body when it mattered most.

Mamas, listen to your bodies. Only YOU know what you’re feeling. 🩵✨

Welcome to the world, Doula Baby #45.

Welcome Doula Baby #44 🩷

A February baby who said, “Actually… I want turkey and sweet potato pie,” and made her grand entrance in November 😂 all because clearly she had plans of her own.

This birth was unexpected in every way. I was in Texas attending another birth when she decided it was time, and whew… my heart was truly in shambles not being physically there for her. But even from miles away, I stayed locked in. By checking in, supporting, loving, and holding space every step of the way.

As soon as I drove back from San Antonio, I took my bags home, turned right back around, and hit the road to her. And I didn’t regret a single second of it.

This client and I go back about 8 years, which honestly feels wild to even say out loud. It feels like forever, but in the best way. We’ve always had a great vibe, so to be asked to be her doula was truly an honor, especially knowing how private she is. That trust meant everything to me.

Through it all, she showed so much strength, grace, and resilience. And baby girl? She came into this world strong too. After 68 days in the NICU, she has finally been discharged and is HOME, where she belongs. To home she goes, and to home I pray she stays.

She’s feisty like her mama (not surprised one bit), deeply loved like her mama, and already showing her personality. And fun fact: I am obsessed with her name. It’s been on my baby name list for YEARS 😂🥹🩷

Welcome to the world, sweet girl.
Welcome, Doula Baby #44.

You are loved beyond measure.

Ended 2025 with a heart full of gratitude ! 🥹

This year closed with me officially being a Phase 2 student, stretching me in ways I didn’t know I needed. 4 births in one month while working with an amazing birth team.

Alongside that, I supported 8 beautiful families as a doula, each one a reminder of why I answered this calling. And I plan to further that calling into something more. Look out CPM, I’m coming for you. 🩺

Now beyond birth work, I watched provision unfold in another way: 7 nannies placed and multiple families supported across the Gulf Coast, helping careers grow and households find the care they needed. 🫶🏾

Every part of this year confirmed I’m walking in purpose. Grateful for the trust, the lessons, and the growth. ✨

Whewwww, this one right here is special.
My girl told me she’d be home by 7:30pm. She was calm, collected, and convinced she had some time. But baby boy had a completely different agenda. 😂

She called and said,
“Hey… so… we’re actually headed to the hospital.”

Now mind you — I’m 2.5 hours away.
If I had left when I originally planned, I would have MISSED the chance to support another good friend from my college days. But God’s timing? Always perfect.

This mama had her doubts. Being a first-time mom, she wasn’t sure if she could do it without an epidural. And y’all… she did that.
No epidural.
No hesitation.
Just strength, breath, surrender, and pure love guiding her through.

A little over 7 hours of labor & as a first-time mom.
Let that sink in.

I keep reminding her just how BLESSED she was to have such a beautiful, powerful, intentional birth experience the very first time she walked this road. She trusted her body. She trusted her baby. She leaned into every wave like she had done it before.

And baby boy??
Listen.
He came out CHOCOLATE, handsome, and ready for the world.
Every weight and measurement — I guessed it on the DOT.
And he arrived right on his due date.
Already Type A like his mama. 🥹

She did amazing. I am so proud of her.
My heart is so full.

Help me welcome Doula Baby #43 earthside.
You are loved, you are celebrated, and you are so deeply covered.

🤎✨ Welcome sweet boy ✨🤎
