I wonder if our clients truly know how much these gestures mean to us…

Being a part of your birth team is an *honor and privilege* for me, period. Being invited into your birth space and into your family is a huge gift itself; receiving beautiful, sentimental presents like this from the families I serve is just the icing on the cake!

These gifts are from a family I’ve had the honor of supporting through both of their babies’ births; the experiences we’ve shared together are so special and I love that I now have such beautiful reminders of our time together! Thank you to my sweet friends for pouring into my cup, it really does mean the world 🖤🖤🖤

This third time client absolutely ROCKED her birth center water birth! 🧜🏽‍♀️👑 The look of relief and pure joy on her face is everything! 😍 Baby girl kept us all in suspense over the course of a few days, but once she decided she was ready, there was no stopping her 💪🏻 It’s been an honor to walk alongside these two through the birth of their three babies! 💜💙💚

Still trying to figure out what to get your favorite doula this holiday season?! 😆 The gift of a testimonial or referral is one of the best things you can give, and it’s free! 🙌🏻 If I’ve had the honor of attending your birth or being involved in yours/your partner’s/your family’s birth story in any way, please share your story on my DoulaMatch profile!

Newborn nails! 😍 When your baby is born, their nails may be blue or purple in color which is perfectly normal. Oxygen-rich blood is circulating throughout their body, giving priority to the brain and other organs, and moving to the hands and feet last.

There are many ways to trim your baby’s nails from baby nail clippers, to a fine nail file, to (my personal favorite method) ever-so-carefully biting them 😆 Whichever method you choose, do it while baby sleeps to make it easier for you!

When have been … and waiting… when what you anticipated as a first time person has doubled and tripled in time… when you’ve been putting in hard and long hours, and you’re just trying to when you can… and finally, we come to a point where we can confidently say this baby will be here TODAY Y’ALL 🙌🏻 Like I always say, they all come out 😊 Some just take their time a bit more than others! 🖤

Did you know that upwards of 98% of choose a ? However, not every hospital is the same!

Just like we discuss in our class, location matters!!! Your chances of undergoing surgical intervention - not only births, but also as well - during your birth largely depends on the hospital you’ve chosen! 🤯

Luckily we have a few really great facilities to choose from in the area, one of them being 🙌🏻 Our clients who choose to birth there have experienced , , and ! Here we have a client utilizing a to keep her open for baby, in the form of a , for , and to help those contractions get longer, stronger, and closer together so we can meet that baby! 😍

Twin placenta?! Nope, succenturiate lobe! The incidence of a placenta occurs in approximately 2 out of every 1000 pregnancies, and some placentas may even have multiple succenturiate lobes. Isn't it amazing how our bodies adapt to accommodate our growing babies? Plus they make for a pretty cool ! 😍

✨What does it mean to be Raising Future Ancestors?✨⁣

It means that the ways we engage with our children is rooted in an awareness that the connections we hold will impact the way our children will engage with Madre Tierra and the elements that nourish and nurture them, their communities and the systems that must be dismantled in order for their people to thrive, and with their own descendants.⁣

It means we see them as powerful, knowing, and fully sovereign beings.⁣

It means we allow them to unfold into their own magic instead of trying to bend them to our wills and unconsciousness.⁣

It means we give reverence and honor to their essence and guide them with care, intention, and l o v e.⁣

It means we see ourselves as Future Ancestors, always planting seeds, always growing bosques.⁣

It means we are all interconnected beyond the physical and beyond the illusion of time and because of that, the future ancestors you are raising are the future ancestors I am also raising in my thoughts, words, and actions as I move through my lifetime and they move through theirs. ⁣

The future ancestors I am raising will remember their sacredness. ⁣

Now you, comunidad. 💗⁣

Below, tell us and each other. ⁣
