Let’s talk about the raw and real moments that can arise at the end of pregnancy…

High blood pressure.
Decreased placental function.
Preeclampsia.
IUGR.
Decreased fetal movements.
Low/high amniotic fluid.
Cord compression.
PROM.

These are not the plans we make but sometimes, they become part of the journey.

I hold a deep belief that our babies have a way of communicating when they are ready to be born. Most often, that comes through spontaneous labor. Other times, it comes through circumstances like these; situations that call for closer monitoring, medical guidance, and sometimes intervention.

When this shift happens, when a pregnancy moves from low-risk into the unknown it can feel overwhelming, frightening, and even deeply disappointing.

This is where I step in, gently and intentionally.
I walk hand in hand with my families, offering evidence-based, trusted information so they can make informed decisions with confidence, not fear. I help create space for processing, for questions, and for peace in the midst of uncertainty.

Because while birth can be unpredictable…
support should be the guiding light in the storm.

Choosing the right care team matters. Especially when things don’t unfold the way you hoped. Having someone by your side who sees you, hears you, and supports you without judgment can make all the difference in how you experience your birth.

Holding every mama who has walked this path
with tenderness, compassion, and love.

✨ Placenta Encapsulation ✨

Did you know the placenta is one of the most powerful organs your body ever creates?

For nine months it nourishes and sustains your baby, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones that support both baby and mother throughout pregnancy.

But once baby and placenta are born, those pregnancy hormones drop rapidly. This sudden shift can contribute to many of the changes women experience postpartum such as:

β€’ Baby blues and/or postpartum depression
β€’ Fatigue and low energy
β€’ Hormonal shifts
β€’ Hair and skin changes
β€’ Delayed or low milk supply

Placenta encapsulation is a practice many mothers choose to help support their recovery during the fourth trimester.

Many women report benefits such as:
✨ Increased energy
✨ Hormonal support
✨ Improved mood
✨ Better milk production
✨ Replenishment of iron lost during birth

Your placenta is unique to you and your baby and when prepared safely, it can be a beautiful way to support your body during postpartum healing.

If you're expecting and curious about placenta encapsulation, I’d love to answer your questions and walk you through the process.

For all the mamas❀️

The days are long, but the years are short. When we're in the thick of motherhood, we feel exhaustion, loneliness, and struggle. But it's in our tiny precious babies that we find pure love, ourselves, and our purpose.

I walked through postpartum depression with my son, and I truly believe God gifted that season to me so that I could better hold moms' hands and just know. Being a mom is the hardest, holiest work we'll ever do.

If you're a mama struggling today, I pray for your heart. For you to know this season is temporary, for you to feel quiet peace and a comfort wash over you, making the sun shine again.

Please reach out to me if you are struggling. I'm here for you, and we have a wonderful community of postpartum therapists that can offer you support.

All my love,
Rita🀍

πŸŽ‰βœ¨ Celebrating 1 Year on Facebook! βœ¨πŸŽ‰

It’s hard to believe it’s been ONE YEAR since I started sharing my business here! While I’ve been blessed to serve families as a birth and postpartum doula for over 14 years, this past year connecting online has been truly special.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Cheers πŸ₯‚
To another year of GROWTH! Serving families with LOVE, celebrating BIRTH, and welcoming new babies and born mothers and fathers. 🀍

Thankful to God for his provision and blessings. For allowing me to steward positive birth outcomes and for blessing me with the ability to continue this work.

It is only through Him and because of Him.

With a joyful heart and all my love,
Rita 🀍

A local mother is in need of breast milk. Currently, she requires 12 ounces per day of supplemental breast milk. Can anyone donate to her? She is located in Lehigh but is able to meet. Thank you🀍

Good morning 🀍

As I approach the one-year anniversary of my business page, I want to pause and sincerely thank you for being here – for your support, encouragement, and trust in this work that means so much to me.

Thank you for supporting my business, but more than that, thank you for supporting my greatest passion, which allows me an opportunity to support families in having better birth experiences.

Being a doula is a true privilege. I am continually humbled and honored to walk alongside families during such sacred and transformative seasons of their lives.

After fourteen years of supporting families, my passion to serve and give the very best of myself in this work has only grown deeper.

For me, birth doula care goes far beyond physical support during labor and birth. It is about connection – fostering meaningful relationships built on trust, confidence, and safety. It is an opportunity to prepare each family for a positive, empowered birth experience, to help them trust their intuition, and to work together as a team; not only to welcome their baby into the world but also to grow and strengthen their bond as a family.

Birth is a gift. And it is my hope that every moment becomes an opportunity for mothers, fathers, and families to grow, love, and blossom together.

As I look ahead to this next year, I am excited to continue growing, learning, and serving our SWFL birth community; supporting more families and walking alongside them with intention and care.

I would be honored to connect with you and sit together to prepare you for a birth that feels peaceful, supported, and deeply meaningful.

I believe birth is impeccably designed, and it is a gift to steward this season with faith, trust, and thoughtful preparation.

If you are expecting, I would love the opportunity to walk with you and your family as you prepare to welcome your baby.

Love and Blessings,
Rita🀍
