Just some office love and appreciation.
I love this space so much, because it holds so much.
Tears are cried here, bodies are hugged, stories are told, dreams are held.
We’ve seen the first flicker of a heartbeat in here, and also the last.
We’ve grieved here, felt renewed here.
Sipped tea, and spilled our guts. Peed in cups and laughed until we tears were rolling down our faces.
We’ve held hands and touched bellies. It’s a room of connection, and the place I feel most at peace, because pieces of all of you are in here.
It’s the feeling room, the tender space, memory holder and memory maker.
A sacred place that smells like orange, bergamot, and patchouli.
A place you are always welcome to come be as you are, and be celebrated.
What memories do you have of this room?

I’m very excited to extend my work into deeper postpartum support. I’ve had a growing love and appreciation (and sometimes fear) for postpartum in my midwifery practice since the very beginning, offering extended postpartum care to 12 weeks instead of the typical 6–the first in Utah and among my peers to do so. It has felt really right to honor the 4th trimester in this way. 🌿 After the birth of my 3rd child, I received postpartum doula support for the first time from I could not BELIEVE that I hadn’t done it with the previous two births. Her care for us during that time makes me tear up to this day, it impacted me so deeply. Our whole home was full of love, compassion, and the beautiful messy existence of postpartum in a way that felt like an embrace instead of brick walls. I softened deeper into postpartum than I ever have before which allowed me to heal both physically and mentally on a level I could not have accomplished on my own. I felt held, safe, and so deeply cared for. That *feeling* of love and support is what I aspire to offer with my postpartum support, integrated with my knowledge and years of experience as a midwife. It just feels right. Website for details 🤍

33 beautiful humans came through my doors today for a client gathering. Mothers, fathers, babies- some as little as 7 weeks old! I can’t even put into words how much it meant to me to see so many of my families together in one house. Each experience so unique, and so transformative. I’m so grateful to be in this work, to be trusted by so many, and to have had the honor to walk with each of you during your birth experiences. I love you all dearly! Thank you to everyone who came☺️
I’ll be hosting some community gatherings as well soon! Be looking for an invitation on here, or by text if you have my number. Happy weekend, folks🌿

This is the reason ✨why✨ An empowered first birth, at home.

I’m calling in good things from the universe for my first time mamas and challenging the belief that it has to be hard. I know that won’t resonate with all of you, and certainly many first births are extremely difficult. But I no longer accept that as simple fact for any and everyone. It *CAN* be good! That needs to be a possibility we welcome and acknowledge as a whole. Same goes for a birth after trauma, or a VBAC… huh, maybe the belief is simply that *birth*can*be*good* Yeah, that’s it.

There’s certain times as a midwife when getting called out in the middle of the night that my body really struggles to wake up. Getting the call for this birth was one of those moments where I just felt like my brain and body were NOT on board. Vision felt blurred, brain felt foggy and slow, I stood for way too long in my hallway at home just trying to remember what I had forgotten (probably the keys). The drive over I kept all windows open and music loud to help me stay awake. And then… I walked down the stairs to this family’s room and saw her there in her bathtub. Water running down her face, her partner nearby holding space, her breath moving rhythmically and intuitively with her contractions …every synapse in my being, every nerve and fiber, awoke with a fire in the witness of her. What a sacred event, and I *was there*. I don’t know y’all, I used to do drugs but nothing gets me quite as high as being in the presence of birthing women. I’m so so lucky to get to be witness. To be startled awake by beauty. Wow. Wow. Wow. Thank you for that honor.

To my clients: in case you’re wondering, your midwife misses you too. After all, we spent a whole year together. I got to know your family and your children, I met your dog and your mother and sisters. I walked through your garden and got to taste the yumminess of your homemade sourdough bread. I sat in your new rocking chair in the nursery you thoughtfully curated. I’ve held your hand as you cried and watched you go through the deepest valley to birth your child. It’s the greatest blessing to love people. To hold stories and hope and sorrow alongside you all. I think of you all the time. Just know, as you’re going about your life, that I carry a little bit of you in my heart every where I go. And even though we closed this chapter, your memory is still written in the pages of my book.

I’ve been very absent on this app because I don’t know how to show up anymore. Truthfully, I don’t really care about building a business or brand anymore. It feels inauthentic. All I want to do is feel the dew on my bare toes and breathe air into my lungs and feel it all. So, there’s that. 🤍

Validating someone’s emotions and giving them permission to feel is a beautiful thing. It frees us from the expectation that we have to be “good” all the time and reminds us that we are complex human beings with a landscape of thoughts and feelings. But when it replaces practical support we’ve turned that beautiful thing into a weapon of isolation. *insert drowning /high five meme* It’s both/and. We need someone to tell us it’s ok AND to show up in very real ways. Almost everybody I talk to craves the village. The question I’ve been contemplating for myself these past several years is, what is my role in my community? How can I show up for the people around me and be a part of contributing to the good in their life? It’s an honor and a responsibility to care for each other. Food for thought.

The love and joy of these two 🥹 Ugh, my heart!!
🦋
It MATTERS to have a fulfilling and beautiful birthing experience. It’s not just a bonus. It’s the whole damn salary! We’re changing the cultural narrative around birth and I think it’s incredibly powerful. I’m so proud of this family and so grateful to have been witness to their transformation. 🐛🦋

I’m so proud of this woman ✨ Words don’t do these experiences justice. There’s just nothing like watching a dear friend go to those liminal spaces during birth, and not being able to fully go there with her, just holding space for the journey. She did it 🥹 And I’m so proud of her. Welcome baby girl!

10 years ago this year I got my very first client as a solo practicing midwife. I was nervous and excited, and couldn’t believe that someone would really trust *me* to be their midwife. I had arranged for one of my preceptors to join me at the birth, but the universe likes to show us that we are more capable than we know, and she never ended up making it in time for the birth. I remember arriving to my client’s house when she was in labor and rushing up the stairs to her bedroom, all of the scenarios of birth running through my mind, so nervous I could puke. Yet there she was, fiercely laboring in her tub. My own heart stopped, with hands shaking I stepped into my role with as much bravery as I could muster. In that moment, I was born as a midwife.

The birth was beautiful, seamless, and truly a gift as the first birth on my own. As I brought baby up to her chest, I noticed this little one had a cleft palate, undiagnosed on ultrasound, and I got to practice one of the pieces of wisdom that had been passed down to me… let the parents take in their baby and discover it for themselves. This mama looked at her baby with so much joy and pride, and softly proclaimed “she has a cleft, doesn’t she?” The question did not need an answer. Baby was perfect in every other way, and we stayed home in a peaceful bubble for 3 hours before heading to the hospital. When we arrived, the on-call NICU physician complemented the care I had given her. I felt so proud of myself. What a triumph in every way.

This client will always have a special place in my heart. She trusted me and gave me the space to bloom into my own. I’m so grateful for her. And to each client who chooses me as their midwife, thank you endlessly, it’s a honor to be alongside you and something I do not take for granted. So happy 10 years to me, to doing the work and answering the call, and for continuing to show up 10 years later. I still can’t believe this is my life!

There’s just something so special about this family. I’ve been with them since baby one and have witnessed so many different versions of them blooming and becoming. It was an honor to be here again in this moment and witness their family expand again, with big siblings watching in awe. Funny, I’ve midwifed all three kiddos but didn’t catch a single one😉 Strong mama and papa did that together, just the way it should be❤️ Thank you for the honor of witnessing your power!

About Bearth

Bearth is so much more than a midwifery service; it's about building people up. Our hope is that through the empowering process that giving birth can be, you and your family will be made stronger and healthier because of it. The ability to carry life and give birth is, not only fundamentally human, it is an incredibly profound time in a person's life. This process heightens all five senses and imprints a lasting memory on your mind.

We want you to remember the power you hold in every cell of your body.

We provide a safe, supportive birthing space and want you to feel respected, in control, and to be able to look back on that moment in your life and remember that you can do it, you are enough, and you are stronger than you know.
