May is Mental Health Awareness Month

And while this conversation matters for everyone, I want to gently shine a light on something that often goes unseen… postpartum depression.

We celebrate new life, tiny fingers, first cries, and growing families but we don’t always talk about the heaviness that can follow. The exhaustion that runs deeper than sleep. The emotions that don’t match the joy people expect you to feel. The quiet questions, the overwhelm, the tears that come without warning.
Postpartum depression is real. It is valid. And it deserves to be acknowledged with compassion, not silence.

To the mothers walking through this whether loudly or quietly...
You are NOT alone!!
You are NOT failing!!
You are navigating one of the most tender, vulnerable transitions a person can experience, and it’s okay if it doesn’t feel magical every moment.

Checking in matters.
Holding space matters.
Speaking truth, even when it’s uncomfortable, matters.

This month, and every month, let’s create room for honest conversations about mental health, especially in the postpartum season. Let’s remind mothers that their wellbeing matters just as much as the babies they care for.

You deserve support.
You deserve to be seen.
You deserve care, too.

It’s been weighing on my heart that some potential moms, or people in general, may have questions or concerns about my personal religious beliefs or upbringing, and how that might impact the care I provide as a midwife.
Let me be clear… my beliefs do not limit my care—they deepen it.

My pagan beliefs call me to show up with compassion, respect, and unwavering support for every mother and baby I serve. My role is not to place judgment or expectations, but to hold space, honor your choices, and walk alongside you in one of the most sacred seasons of your life.

Part of my spiritual path includes honoring the natural cycles of life; the maiden, the mother, and the crone. These phases remind me that womanhood is not one moment, but a lifelong unfolding. In my work, I hold deep reverence for the “mother” phase, while also honoring the journey that brought you here and the wisdom you continue to grow into. This perspective allows me to see each woman not just in her pregnancy, but as a whole, evolving person deserving of respect in every season of her life.
Every family I serve comes with their own values, beliefs, and vision for their birth, and I consider it a privilege to support you in that, fully and wholeheartedly.

Every mother, every baby, every family I serve is met with the same unwavering respect, compassion, and dedication. The sanctity of pregnancy and birth is not conditional; it is something I honor fully, regardless of background, identity, or belief.

My spiritual path has only strengthened my connection—to the earth, to the rhythms of life, and to the profound experience of bringing new life into this world. It has taught me to approach birth with humility, reverence, and deep respect. It reminds me, every single day, of the privilege it is to walk alongside families during such a transformative time.

Birth is sacred. Life is sacred. And every mother deserves to feel seen, supported, and honored in her journey. That is the care I provide. Always!!

Got to support one of my beautiful and talented mommas today! It was a nice surprise to see her and her gorgeous artwork, proud to be able to display it in my home!

All set up at the Spring Market!

Sometimes I’m not part of a birth journey in the traditional way but I’m still called to honor it in a deeply meaningful form.
Encapsulating is more than a service to me; it’s a quiet continuation of care, a way to preserve and respect a piece of the story that sustained new life. Each placenta is entirely its own; unique, intricate, and beautiful just like the soul it nourished.
It’s a true privilege to be invited into this space, to serve a mother and baby in such an intimate and intentional way. I carry so much gratitude for the trust placed in my hands.

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
Even though plans shifted and I wasn’t the one to welcome you earthside, it was still such a beautiful journey walking alongside your mama. Supporting her, witnessing her strength, and holding space for your story has been an honor I’ll always carry.
You are so deeply loved already, and it has meant the world to be a small part of the path that brought you here.

What’s the average number of questions a momma has during pregnancy or in those tender first weeks with a newborn? I truly have no idea… but I do know this: every single one of them matters.

I’m here for the questions, the concerns, the fears, the hopes, and the dreams, all of it. Not just the clinical pieces, but the emotional, the spiritual, the in-between moments that don’t always have easy answers. Because care should be complete and wholesome nurturing not just the body, but the heart and mind, too. You were never meant to walk this journey alone, and I’m honored to walk alongside you through it all.

I’ve always loved the simple, meaningful art of bartering. It's less of a transaction and more like a shared connection. That’s one of the most beautiful parts of being a midwife: I get to meet incredible people with unique skills!
I truly enjoy trading midwifery services, most recently for a custom addition to my kitchen. It’s more than just a beautiful addition to my space, it’s a daily reminder of the trust, care, and community that make this work so special.

This is what it’s all about, one generation welcoming the next. A great-grandmother finally holding the little life she’s been waiting for, and a grandfather already finding quiet ways to show his love. The beginning of something beautiful!
