ICYMI: This summer in my blog I shared a little collection of nature photographs I love, along with some reflection on how nature mirrors the big transitions we move through — birth, postpartum, grief, and all the in-between seasons. 🌿

If you’re in a tender season right now, I hope these photos offer a bit of inspiration.

Not sure where to give birth in Birmingham?
My free guide breaks down the real differences between our local hospitals, the birth center, and home birth options — so you can choose a place that truly supports the kind of birth you want.

👉 Download the free guide: https://subscribepage.io/birthsetting

💡 Two helpful insights from the guide:
• Midwives aren’t all the same. Birmingham families can choose between Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) who practice in hospitals and home birth midwives who offer a very different care model. Understanding the differences — and the settings each can attend — helps you narrow your options quickly.

• Fetal monitoring varies by location. Some hospitals rely mostly on continuous monitoring, while others offer intermittent or wireless options that allow more movement in labor. If staying mobile matters to you, this can be a key factor in choosing where to give birth.

If you’re hoping for a birth experience that feels supported, calm, and aligned with your values, this guide is a great place to start.

Only a few days left to grab the early bird discount for my January–February childbirth & newborn care class series — early bird pricing ends December 13. ✨

If you’re hoping for a calmer, more confident birth (and a smoother first week at home), this class is for you. Over six weeks we’ll talk through what labor actually looks like, comfort measures, pushing and birth, newborn care, feeding, and how to build a realistic postpartum plan.

Classes are small, local to the Birmingham/Homewood area, and there’s plenty of time for questions and real conversation.

👉 Reserve your spot before 12/13 here: eleisondoula.com/childbirth-and-newborn-care-classes/

There’s something so comforting about a pot of warm soup simmering on the stove — especially in pregnancy or those early postpartum weeks. 💛
This Hearty Pea Soup from my beloved Laurel’s Kitchen has been one of my go-to recipes for years. It’s wholesome, filling, inexpensive, and so easy to make in big batches for freezer meals.

If you’re pregnant, stocking up for postpartum, or just wanting something nourishing this week, this one is a classic.
Would you make it?

Local small business shout out!
If you haven't been to the Craft Room in Homewood yet, get on down there for your Christmas gifts and holiday crafting supplies! It's such a great concept - people donate their used or sitting-there-never-to-be-used craft supplies in exchange for store credit to spend on craft supplies! Keeping our closets and landfills clean while getting great deals and building community - what could be better? They also have great meeting/work space in the store. Now I am busy thinking about community events we can host there - so watch this space!

Slow evenings, twinkle lights, and a cozy hat… I’m definitely ready for Christmas prep. ✨
Tell me your favorites — what holiday movies are a must-watch each year?

In my birth classes and prenatals, I often do an exercise where I ask both parents to identify words that describe how they feel about birth. Very often, they say they view birth as "a spiritual experience" but aren't really sure how that translates into things they might actually do in labor.
I made this Pinterest board "Create a Sacred Birth Space" to help. It has ideas for ways to set up your room, music, prayers, and icons that will help you draw on your spirituality to honor the sacred threshold of birth.

Whether you're currently pregnant or recently had a baby, chances are your pelvic floor could use some TLC.

In fact, learning to support our pelvic floor is important at all ages, and I have found a lot of benefit from going there myself! Plus, they offer massage therapy, counseling support, and prenatal yoga for comprehensive women's perinatal and all-around wellness. Grateful to have this resource in our community!

I’m excited to be starting overnight support with a twin family this week!
I’m brushing up on all things twins and multiples… but I know so many of you have real-life wisdom, too.

If you’ve parented twins (or supported them), drop your best tips in the comments!
I’d love to hear what helped you most. 💛

Testimonials like this remind me why I love being a doula.
It’s a privilege to support families through such an important moment — and I’m honored every time someone invites me in.

Thank you, Annie, for sharing your experience on DoulaMatch.net! 💛
If you’re expecting in 2026 and would like support, my calendar is now open.

Holiday season can feel tender, busy, and overwhelming — especially with a new baby at home.
December is almost fully booked, but I do have room for a few daytime postpartum shifts this month.

If you could use an extra pair of hands…
✨ a few hours to rest
✨ help with newborn care or feeding
✨ support with household tasks
✨ or simply a calm, steady presence

…send me a message. I’d love to support you in whatever way would make this season feel lighter and more manageable. 🤍
