Last week, we received news from one of our clients that they lost their home in a fire. Their family is devastated, and so are we. With this family's permission, we are sharing their baby registry with an invitation to anyone in our TOL community to contribute to it if they feel called to do so. We can also pass along their venmo if anyone would like to make a financial contribution instead of a material one.

As you embark on the extraordinary journey to motherhood, the harmonious partnership between midwives and doulas becomes invaluable! Midwives serve as the guardians of your clinical care, illuminating the path with medical expertise, nurturing both you and your baby throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum phase. Their skilled hands ensure your physical well-being and that of your newborn.

Doula services, on the other hand, offer a steadfast companionship, pouring emotional, informational, and physical support into your journey. While they cannot provide clinical care, they stand by your side, listening, guiding, and empowering you to own your birthing experience. Together, midwives and doulas weave a tapestry of holistic care, addressing both the clinical and emotional facets of childbirth, and gifting you a transformative and uplifting experience!

Happy World Doula Week!

One of the things that has made Tree of Life so special from the very beginning has been our doula program! Our clients have the opportunity to hire any of our contracted doulas to support their prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience.

One day my entrepreneurial, business owning, mom brain of a 1 year old battling constant double ear infections will get better at advertising for upcoming classes…. Until then, here’s a last minute post about our upcoming Winter Postpartum & Play Package. With the FIRST of the 3-part series start in tomorrow!

Classes are 30$ for drop-in or 60$ for all 3 classes!

If you haven’t come to one of these classes before I can tell you with 100% certainty that you might be missing out. Ariel goes above and beyond to make these classes fun, accessible for littles of all ages, insightful, supportive, and loving. It is EXACTLY what you need as you navigate motherhood!

We had such success with these Postpartum & Play class series that we are carrying them forward into 2026 with the theme of each series being play, learn, craft. We hope you’ll join in on the fun!
