Mama Love Mondays 💛

Today we celebrate one of our own, Kenzie Cornilsen.

A mother to three strong little girls.
A steady presence beside birthing mothers as they bring new life into the world.
A woman running TWO successful businesses, QC Doula Connect and Gingerly Mama.
All while offering the incredible gift of carrying a baby for another family.

So much strength. So much heart. So much love poured into others.

If that isn’t someone worth celebrating, I don’t know who is.

Kenzie, thank you for being the kind of human who shows families what true support, compassion, and care look like. The world is softer and stronger because of people like you. ✨

Have a mama in your life who deserves a little extra love? Send us a message. We would LOVE to feature a mama in your life and celebrate the beautiful ways she shows up in the world. 💛

Mama Love Monday 💛

Today we’re celebrating Emili Jean Keil!

She’s a single mom to two kids, one who is a special needs heart warrior. She works, just graduated from massage school, and recently started her own business.

Between caring for her kids, working, studying late at night, and pushing through the hard days, she kept going.

That kind of determination deserves to be celebrated.

Emili didn’t just earn a certification. She built a future for herself and her children with her own two hands. Her kids get to watch their mom chase a dream, work hard, and keep moving forward no matter what life brings.

That’s powerful.

Emili, we are so proud of you. Your strength, dedication, and love for your family shine through everything you do. Your journey is just getting started, and we can’t wait to see all the healing you’ll bring into the world.

Happy Mama Love Monday. 💛

Anyone in need of a little extra relaxation? You won't want to miss this sound bath! 🌕✨

✨Full Moon Harmonies: A Reiki and Sound Healing Experience✨

Anyone else feeling the weight of the Full Moon? I know I am. This phase can stir things up and shine a light on what is ready to be released. It is also a powerful time to reset and soften.

Come let your nervous system settle and be soothed by calming vibrations. Rest on your mat, breathe deeply, and allow the warmth of Reiki energy to gently support you.

You do not have to carry it all alone. Come be held, grounded, and restored. 🌕✨

We’re starting something new this week…

💞 Mama Love Mondays 💞

Every Monday we’ll feature a mama who could use a little extra love, and give you the chance to spread that love in the comments to the moms in your life who deserve it too.

The only rule? Love and kindness. Always. 💗

Let’s build our own tiny village right here.

Today’s mama is Meghan Menzel.

Meghan is a strong, fierce, love-with-her-whole-heart kind of mom. Her oldest daughter, 8, was recently cast as young Ana in a production of Frozen, which is so exciting. At the same time, her youngest, Althea, is recovering from her THIRD open heart surgery at just 3 years old.

Althea was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease before she was even born. This family is no stranger to hospital stays, procedures, and long days filled with waiting and hoping.

No parent should walk a journey like that alone.

So today, let’s surround Meghan with a little extra mama love. Drop some encouragement, send a heart, say a prayer, hold them in your thoughts.

And tell us, who in your life could use some love right now? 💞
