Here's the deal...no one gets to make decisions for you in birth! You get to make the calls and decide what is best for you and your baby. As your doula, my job is to support you in making choices and working my ass off to help you fulfill those decisions. As we all know, birth can have a mind of its' own but no one, not medical staff, your family/friends, myself or anyone else can tell you what to do. 💜

Better late than never!!

Thank you to all the families I was able to serve, those that hired me for a second time, those in the birth world that lent a hand or a listening ear and my own family for being flexible with an on-call schedule.

Here is to 2026 and the experiences it will bring!

Why does pressure canning scare me so much?! I get so much anxiety trying to make sure it's done right and I don't somehow create an explosion 🤣🤣

"We began our natural birth journey a little late into our pregnancy, about 5 mos in. We had hoped to have had a doula for our 1st, but with COVID, it felt pointless to be unable to have her during active labor. But with our 2nd, we were motivated and quickly began interviewing. When we spoke with Megan, there was a sense of ease and calm about her. We instantly felt a connection and knew she would be the right choice for us. Megan was extremely informative and helpful preparing us for labor, and was completely available for any questions we may have had along the way. She provided material for us to read and exercises to practice weeks leading to labor. When labor began, it came hard and fast, but was very much prolonged. We called Megan and she arrived quickly and truly rolled up her sleeves. She tried her hardest to get me moving even when I felt contractions were rough, she helped me find calm and kept me centered through affirmations and breath. She stayed by my side for nearly 60 hrs of labor and waited in the hospital until our little girl was born. Days and weeks after, Megan was available to help me work through any trauma I experienced, helped me navigate through my emotions, recommended a therapist to continue healing. I 100% recommend Megan, and if I ever am blessed with another baby, I'd call on her services again!!" 💜

Which would you rather feel going into labor?

Birth can be unpredictable and overwhelming.

When you hire me as your doula you will go into labor feeling confident about your decisions because they are well informed. You will have the continuity of care by me, prenatally through the birth of your child. You will have someone who is working with you to strive for the birth you want and not one that is only managed by others.

Don't forget it!

As parents we tend to lose ourselves in pregnancy and parenting. Our minds and lives revolve around our children. Then one day we are given a free moment and we feel lost. Who were you before your pregnancy or you had your child? The majority of us had at LEAST 18 years of life before a child came into your life. What are the things that brought you joy and made you smile? What made you feel your most authentic? How could you describe yourself without using your role in your partnership, family or job?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going through this myself. I sat down a couple weeks ago and in a journal, wrote "Who am I?" I sat and stared at the page with nothing coming to my brain. If I'm being completely honest...I closed the notebook and have only opened it once since. The question still sits unanswered.

So today, I'm listening to music that speaks to my soul, wearing my embroidered chicken witch Hocus Pocus themed sweatshirt with the most comfortable yet outrageous sweater/robe [not me in the picture 🤣] on top of it to keep warm at the office.
