My doula-hubby did all the green flags at our appointment today. We had a new doctor, so he made sure to address the key things we tell partners and support folks to do:

✅Introduce yourself and make eye contact
✅Review the procedure(s) for appointment.
✅Confirm comfort needs before and during procedure(s).
✅Remain active. Ask questions.
✅Comfort partner.
✅Advocate. Advocate. Advocate.
✅Confirm next steps and any follow up.

Need a list of questions to ask your doctor? Connect with me at Olive Haven and I’ll get you started.

Pay what you can! Be your own support 🫶🏾

Offering FREE childbirth education in the community is one of my favorite parts of being a doula. There’s something powerful about creating space where families feel informed, supported, and truly prepared.

This past month, I had the honor of partnering with EveryStep and Primary Care East to walk alongside growing families from birth planning through postpartum. Each mama left not only with knowledge and confidence, but with weekly gifts to support their journey — including a ready-to-go diaper changing kit for baby.

We’re already preparing for our next class, beginning March 5th, and I’m looking forward to welcoming another beautiful group of families into this space of learning and care.

It’s official — we’ll be transitioning to the 3rd floor in April.

Being a business owner means having the courage to make intentional shifts toward sustainability. This move is a strategic step back so I can focus more deeply on what matters most: personal wellness, partnership with NBDA, shifting our yoga and lactation offerings, and creating more opportunities for community-based childbirth education.

Sometimes growth looks like expansion.
Sometimes it looks like refinement.

This season is about alignment.g
