✨ Winter Open House Recap ✨

On January 11th, we opened our doors and our hearts for our Winter Open House, and it was everything we hoped it would be.

Our space was filled with past clients and their families, new and expecting parents, our incredible Avocado Doulas team, cozy snacks, and so many meaningful conversations. We shared stories, laughter, hugs, and moments that reminded us why community-centered care matters so much.

Thank you to everyone who came to connect, mingle, and spend time with us. Watching families return with growing babies and meeting new parents just beginning their journey is truly the greatest gift. 💚

We’re so grateful to be part of this village.🥑

January is National Birth Defects Awareness Month.
A time to honor the resilience of families and the precious beginnings of every child.🤍

Every pregnancy journey is unique. For some, that journey includes extra monitoring, unexpected diagnoses, or high-risk care. Awareness, early support, and compassionate guidance can make a meaningful difference.

At Avocado Doulas, we proudly support high-risk pregnancies from prenatal care through postpartum. We walk alongside families with steady, informed, and non-judgmental support…through uncertainty, strength, and every milestone in between.

You don’t have to navigate it alone. We’re here for you. 🥑✨

As we step into a new year filled with fresh beginnings and new life, we encourage folks to tap into their own personal coping tools. Believe it or not, this was one of the most unique coping tools we had the honor of witnessing in 2025.✨

For this family, him playing guitar brings her feelings of groundedness and connection. So bring it!

Whatever helps you feel safe, grounded, connected, and supported can come into the birth space. 💚

Cheers to new beginnings, powerful births, and all that 2026 has to offer. ✨

The waiting can feel endless when you are past your due date. Every hour stretches your patience, your body, and your heart.

This season is not wasted time. It is quiet preparation. Your baby is still finding their way, and your body is still doing important work.

Slow down where you can. Rest often. Let yourself be cared for.

These last days matter, even when they are hard.

You are not behind. You are not doing anything wrong. You are exactly where you need to be.

As the weather turns colder, here’s your friendly winter safety reminder from Avocado Doulas ❄️💚

Puffy coats and car seats don’t mix.

We know those big cozy jackets look warm and feel convenient, especially when you are wrangling a toddler who refuses to keep their socks on. But in a crash, all that fluff compresses which leaves the harness far looser than it seems. And loose straps mean your little one isn’t as protected as they should be.

The safer way:
Buckle your baby or toddler in snugly without the coat, then place the jacket or a warm blanket over the harness. It keeps them warm and keeps them safe. You could also consider leaving baby’s jacket in the car to help make getting out the door easier this winter.

It’s a tiny extra step, but it makes a huge difference. Let’s keep our babies protected, cozy, and winter ready this season. 🌿❄️💛

🍂 The Day After Thanksgiving: Slow, Sweet, and Full of Gratitude 🍂

Whether you spent yesterday welcoming a baby earthside, waddling your way to the dinner table, or savoring those first cozy newborn snuggles, today is your reminder to slow down.

The day after a big holiday can feel like a lot: extra dishes, extra noise, extra family energy…but your body and your baby need gentleness.

✨ Take today to:
• Rest your feet & put them UP! Doctor’s orders!😉
• Reheat leftovers instead of overdoing it
• Snuggle in with your bump or your baby
• Let your partner or family take the lead
• Honor the pace your body is asking for

Your doula is here to help you navigate this season with calm, protection, and confidence…from crowded gatherings to cold-season worries to finding moments of quiet in the middle of it all.

You’re doing beautifully. And today? We hope someone brings you a plate of pie. 🥧

🌿 Avocado Doulas is Growing With Our Community 🌿

We believe every family deserves equitable, culturally informed, and accessible care that meets them where they are, honors their identity, and supports their journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

As we continue to listen to the needs of our community, we recognize an important opportunity to better support Spanish-speaking families. With that in mind, we’re exploring adding a Spanish-speaking doula to our team.

If you or someone you know is a bilingual doula (or doula-in-training) who is passionate about inclusive, heart-centered support, we’d love to hear from you. 💚

📩 Please email hello@avocadodoulas.com for more information or to express interest.
