Bridge to Birth

💛 I’ve missed this part of me.
Since Malik’s leukemia diagnosis, every ounce of my time and energy has been poured into caring for him. It’s been healing and grounding—but I’ve also come to realize how deeply I’ve missed the part of myself that shows up in birth rooms, supports birthing families, and weaves community through birthwork.

I’ve had to step away—letting go of clients, pausing support requests, and setting aside the world I built in service and sisterhood. While nothing is more important than my son’s health and our family’s well‑being, my heart still aches for the life I had before this storm.
It’s an odd mix of gratitude, longing, and hope. Grateful beyond words for what I do have. Longing for the joy I could have. Hopeful that someday, when the time is right, I’ll reclaim that part of me again.

For now, I’m showing up wherever I’m needed most—to my son, to our family, to this season of fierce love and care. I share this because I know I’m not alone—so many of us women, mothers, and healers carry a longing during seasons so heavy they demand every piece of us. And that’s OK.

To my birth families: you are forever in my heart. And to everyone walking this tender path—whatever you had to put on hold, whatever you hope to return to—I see you. We don’t have to apologize for our love, our loss, or our hope.

Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for holding space for all of who I am—especially the part that can’t wait to be back alongside you once the time is right.

With gratitude, grace, and gentle hope,

Eboney💛

Hey everyone! Just wanted to update you al. Malik and I were able to come home yesterday. He still has a long road to recovery, so please keep the prayers coming. I’m constantly amazed by the love and support you’ve shown for my baby. God is truly working, and I’m beyond grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

✨ That big smile you see? It’s pure joy! Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond is truly my happy place. Being a doula is more than a job—it’s a calling, a privilege, and sacred work I’m honored to be a part of.

Today, I celebrate all the incredible doulas who hold space, uplift, and empower families every day. Your work is invaluable, and I’m so grateful to be part of this beautiful community.

Wishing all doulas a Happy World Doula Day! 🫶🏾🌻

Yesterday, I finally took my first hike at Arbor Hills Nature Reserve, and it was everything I hoped for! The weather was absolutely perfect, and the trails were super easy to navigate—definitely a great spot to kick off my hiking journey.

I’m really proud of myself for following through with my goal to start hiking this year. This was just the beginning, and I know there are many more adventures ahead. Huge shoutout to my doula bestie for always being down to explore with me. Can’t wait for the next one!

Hey y’all! Let’s get personal for a sec…

Most of you know me as a birthworker, but outside of that, my world revolves around my family—my amazing husband and our four boys. If I’m not supporting families through birth, you can probably find me in the kitchen, cooking up something delicious (because boys love to eat 😩😆).

Family connection is everything to me, so much so that I’ve unofficially appointed myself the family activity planner—not just for my own crew but for my extended family too! Whether it’s game nights, road trips, or random get-togethers, I love bringing everyone together and making memories.

This year, I’m challenging myself to get more active, and I’ve set a goal to start hiking! My first hike is happening this month, and I can’t wait to break in my new hiking boots.

Outside of family time, I love traveling, getting lost in art museums, diving into a good book, and watching great movies. 2025 is all about embracing new experiences, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead!

Tell me—what’s something new you’re trying this year? Let’s inspire each other! 💫❤️

✨ Grateful Beyond Words ✨

I’ve held this experience close to my heart for months and finally feel ready to share on my birthday of all days lol. This summer, I had the incredible honor of participating in a knowledge-sharing session about the sacred postpartum closing ceremony, an Indigenous practice of deep healing and renewal. I’m profoundly blessed to have learned from Sandy and Jas, two remarkable women who so graciously opened their space and shared their wisdom with us.

This experience was transformative—not only in understanding the techniques but also in the healing it brought within me. The connection, the care, and the intention behind these practices are truly humbling. As I walked through this journey, I couldn’t help but reflect on how these sacred traditions can inspire wholeness and healing in my own community.

My goal is to honor and respect these teachings as I learn to integrate them thoughtfully and responsibly, always with the awareness that I have much more to learn. This class has set me on the right track, and I’m committed to continuing this journey with integrity and reverence.

Thank you, Sandy .doula and Jas , for welcoming me into this sacred space and for trusting me with this knowledge. Your kindness and openness mean more than words can express. 💫

Here’s to learning, healing, and building bridges of respect and understanding across cultures. 🌿
