Baby Bird Birth & Doula Services

The moment I realized that I wanted an informed, intuitive birth experience even more than I wanted a VBA2C… everything changed. 🤍✨

Yes, the outcome matters and holds weight. But in most cases, it’s the ability to manage your own experience that makes the biggest difference.

… it’s not about the baby.

It may be hard to hear, but… I said it.

Visiting a family that just had a baby is much more about the parents than the (cute, squishy, adorable) baby.

Be respectful of their time, don’t show up sick, do something to help, don’t expect to hold the baby and for the love of all things holy… BRING THEM FOOD.

And tell them what a great job they’re doing. 🫶🏻

There will be plenty of time (after the first few weeks) to snuggle that perfectly perfect new babe. 🤍

On the eve of my first babe’s TENTH birthday (who I carried to 42 weeks 🤪), I’m offering a gentle reminder that your due date is just a guess.

I went on to have three more babies past their “due dates,” too. A couple VBACs, all average size and perfectly perfect upon delivery.

Some of us just carry longer for whatever reason. Hang in there… they are always worth the wait. 🤍

The story…

The joy on my face of realizing a dream & a belief and thanking God that he allowed me to experience it in such a redeeming way.

The necklace, worn every day for nearly 41 weeks, as a reminder that hope belongs and intuition is mighty.

The relief on his face after years of helping me process and hearing my plans, talking choices up & down and building the vision, sitting with me in the grief and then finally witnessing and experiencing the magic with me.

The clutch of emotions and catching my own baby after an unbelievably fast labor and loudly & proudly making my choices heard every step of the way. The “we did it, and I’m never letting go” clutch. 🤍

And then the baby… who turns F I V E today.

What a wonder and joy and wild spirit she has always been. What a gift she gave me, a story that changed the trajectory of my life.

And what a gift she continues to give our family.

Five. A whole hand of memories and laughter, gratefulness and… magic. ✨

Happy Birthday, our Rosie Jae. 💕😘

Your birth experience matters, your intuition is mighty & I will always be your supporter. 🤍

… call your doula ASAP! You weren’t the only one with a spicy Valentine’s getaway. 😆🥰😉


Accepting just a couple births for Nov & Dec! 🥰

One of the first things new mom friends at every age & stage talk about… birth stories.

You’ll recount the details again & again because birth is a life-transforming experience.

Any other transformational event that we go through in life requires investment of time, resources, education, preparation.

Birth should, too.

Your birth will change you. You deserve to have the right tools & encouragement to support that change.

Take a course, find the right provider, hire a doula, listen to birth stories, process fear… get in the game.

It will stick with you forever. 🤍

Restocking my doula bag with some of my fave labor snacks. 👌🏻

Hear this: nourishment + hydration in labor are essential.

Taking sips of water (electrolytes are even better) and grabbing little bites of food can help you stay focused, grounded and physically & mentally regulated.

Your body is wise. Eating & drinking will help labor move forward and progress more naturally.

Please don’t starve yourself in labor. It’s the most physically, mentally & emotionally rigorous thing you’ll ever do. 💪🏻🤍✨

Another reason why I love this team! 🤍

Did you know that we accept barter/trade for birth services? We are happy to trade for skills: roofing, painting, landscaping, cleaning, construction, car mechanics, and more!
If you’ve wanted to utilize our services but weren’t sure how to afford it, don’t be afraid to reach out. We’ve had many people gifted time/skills by their family/friends toward their birth as well - get creative!

My first three births of the year are in the books, and they reminded me of a few basic but important things about doula support.

At least this doula’s support. 🥰

If adding a doula to your birth team is interesting but you’re just not sure, these are for you…

☝🏻 Hiring a doula isn’t about outcomes, it’s about feeling seen & heard. I’m not here to push my own agenda or belief in how birth should look. I’m here to help you find your own vision and even more importantly, to help you navigate the journey when the vision gets a little blurry.

✌🏻 We’ve been fed this quiet lie that doulas are extra or luxurious, but the truth is that feeling supported during birth is what you deserve. Birth was designed to be primal and intimate, instinctual. But our society has lost the mark on that.

Enter: a doula to remind you what your intuition already knows. Do you “need” her to have a positive experience? Nope. But do you (and your husband) deserve her? Without a doubt.

👌🏻 Not being at your birth is rare (so rare). But it does happen because… I’m a normal person living a normal life. 🤪 Here’s what I promise every client — clear communication, full transparency, my best effort and only a backup doula that I would hire for my own birth.

Now that I’ve started, it feels almost impossible to end the list here. 😆 If this has piqued your curiosity, shoot me a message, let’s consult.

You deserve it. 😘

If you think your story is easy for me to forget… you’re wrong. 🤍

There’s a lot to process after a birth like yours. I recount all of my steps and my choices.

Did I say the things that made you feel seen and do the things that gave you relief? Did I use the right position changes at the right time and make suggestions that felt like direction?

Was I calm enough, confident enough? Did I bring enough light, laughter, snacks and peace?

Every detail gets replayed again and again.

And that’s why I check in with you so often. Because I’m thinking of you, and I want you to know it’s ok to replay your own story again and again.

Whether you have questions or gaps, joy or relief. If it was redemptive or traumatic, a total surprise or the hardest thing you’ve ever done.

Your birth story matters. And I’ll forever be here to process and love ya through it. 🤍

💙✨🥹

Banks' birth was the first birth I "attended" after becoming a doula. I was my own first client. And the lessons I learned were of such high value for me personally and for my work in the birthing space.

-the reminder that plans are good but building out your priorities & preferences will help you identify how you actually want to feel during your birth

-the realization that making one good, informed decision at a time will lead you as close as possible to your desired outcome

-the understanding that a provider is only as good as your relationship and comfort with them

-and the confirmation that doulas should still hire their own doula (Steady Ground Doula Services LLC 😘)

More than two years later, and I'm still putting these lessons into practice as I support other mamas, especially VBAC moms. And I'll keep working to find, support and love on as many of them as I can because, after all... your birth experience matters, your intuition is mighty and I will always be your supporter. 🤍

PS - What a joy & privilege it was to record this episode with my teammates and the brand new hosts of The VBAC Link Podcast! The VBAC Link will forever be my number one resource and recommendation for moms planning to birth better after a Cesarean.
