Carolyn, one of our midwives at Haven, has welcomed three beautiful girls — and like so many mamas, she dealt with tough pregnancy sickness each time.

But during her last pregnancy, IV hydration made a *huge* difference in how she felt.

If you're in that season and need a little extra support, our Glow Baby Glow IV is 15% off through December.

🌟 Meet Allie Cottrell, the newest member of our Haven team! 🌟

Allie will be in the office on Wednesdays starting in January and supporting our team from home the rest of the week. She brings experience in administrative and marketing roles, along with a calm, steady presence that fits beautifully with the care we aim to offer.

As a mom of two, Allie understands how meaningful it is to feel supported, heard, and clearly guided in every season of women’s health—from wellness and fertility support to pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Her own journey has shaped the way she cares for our clients, whether they’re expecting mamas or seeking support in another stage of life. She brings thoughtfulness, kindness, and a genuine desire to make every woman and family feel cared for.

Outside of work, you’ll find her exploring with her kids, sharing good food with Parker, listening to music, or leading worship.

We can’t wait for you to meet her!

Your body is working constantly: growing new life, adapting to hormonal shifts, and running through nutrients faster than usual. Even with rest, it’s common to feel depleted.

Sometimes that tiredness is your body’s way of asking for more nourishment — more minerals, more protein, more hydration — to help carry the load.

Sometimes rest needs an invitation — a gentle cue to your body that it’s safe to soften, let go, and settle in to sleep.

This sleepytime mocktail is not only delicious, but it also blends tart cherry juice, chamomile, and minerals to help your body ease into rest — especially on the nights when sleep doesn’t come easily.

Hot tip: waking in the middle of the night? A protein-rich snack like pistachios can help steady your blood sugar and guide you back to sleep.

It’s Nurse Practitioner Week, and we’re taking a moment to honor Katherine Jacobs and the steady care she brings to our team and the women we serve. 🧡

Katherine has a gift of making space— to pause, to be heard, and to ask questions without feeling rushed. Her care is deeply personal, shaped by curiosity and a belief that every woman deserves to understand her body and feel at home in it.

She walks alongside women through all kinds of seasons—sorting through symptoms that don’t make sense, supporting fertility journeys, navigating hormonal shifts, or just helping someone feel well again after a long stretch of not.

What she brings to the table isn’t just clinical expertise. It’s presence, insight, and a deep respect for your whole story.

We’re grateful for how she helps make Haven feel like a place where women feel supported, known, and equipped to move forward.

📖 If Katherine has been part of your story, we’d love to hear what her care has meant to you.

Midwife Lauren Drees shares how your body may be asking for help — and what you can do to support it. Read the full blog for seven discomforts we see all the time (and how to ease them) 🩵
