There's something quite romantic about going off to a birth by the light of the moon 🌕

When you step into labor, you should feel confident — not uncertain. That’s why understanding common interventions (like inductions, epidurals, or continuous monitoring) is so important.

Interventions can be helpful and even lifesaving in certain situations, but they also come with risks and alternatives. When you know your options ahead of time, you’re empowered to make choices that align with your values, your body, and your baby.

Birth is not something that simply happens to you — it’s a journey you actively participate in. The more you prepare, the more you can trust yourself and the process.

💡 Tip: Take time during pregnancy to learn about the most common interventions, their benefits, and their potential drawbacks. That way, if the moment comes, you’ll be ready to make an informed decision with peace and confidence.

You are strong. You are capable. And you are the ultimate decision-maker in your birth story.

I didn’t set out to become a doula. Birth led me here.

Giving birth to my own children revealed something in me — not just physically, but spiritually. I saw myself clearly for the first time: strong, capable, deeply connected to something ancient and sacred.

That experience changed me. It made me realize how powerful and transformative birth can be when a woman feels supported, seen, and safe. I want every mother to feel that. I want her to discover her strength — because when she does, she carries it into motherhood. And that strength? It ripples through generations.

Birth is more than biology. It’s ceremony. It’s metamorphosis. And somehow, I know in my bones: I was made for this work.

Attachment is not extra. It’s not a bonus or a parenting style — it’s survival. For a child, feeling securely connected to their caregiver is as essential as the food they eat and the air they breathe.

Because when children feel attached, the world makes sense. They know they are safe, they know they are wanted, and that becomes the soil where everything else can grow.

From that place, confidence takes root. Curiosity blooms. Their hearts learn that love isn’t scarce, so they don’t have to cling or control. They are free to give, because they know they are held.

Love given freely doesn’t make them fragile — it makes them strong. It teaches them that closeness is safe, that tenderness is not weakness, that giving to others will not leave them empty. The more love they receive, the more love they have to give.

But when attachment is uncertain or withheld, the ground beneath them shifts. A child may grow watchful, questioning their worth. They may cling too tightly out of fear, or harden themselves against disappointment. They may learn to survive, but never fully trust.

And in that survival, something is stolen — the ease of belonging, the courage to risk, the freedom to rest in themselves. Too much of their energy goes into guarding what should have been a given: the right to feel safe, wanted, and worthy.

That’s why attachment matters. It’s not about perfect parenting — it’s about presence, attunement, and the quiet promise: you are safe with me…

When a child carries that truth inside, it changes not just their childhood, but the way they will move through the rest of their life. ❤️

🌟Why Your Review Matters: Every birth story is unique—and so is every doula-client relationship. When you share your experience, you're not just giving feedback… you're helping other families find the support they deserve during one of life’s most transformative moments.

Your review:
- Builds trust for those seeking care
- Helps me grow and serve better
- Celebrates the sacred work we’ve done together

If I’ve walked beside you during your journey, I’d be honored if you’d take a moment to leave a review. Your words have power—and they might be exactly what another parent needs to read. 💛

When I shut down my old facebook account, I sadly lost all of my reviews. If I've ever worked with you or served you on your journey to motherhood, would you consider taking a moment to leave me a review on this page? It would mean the world to me 🫶
