Hospital midwives are the absolute answer for low risk birth whether you plan to have pain management or not. OB’s cans absolutely jump in at any time should the need arise. I love this collaboration.

Dear doula,

We see you...

on those late night drives back home when your heart is pounding and you are so filled to the brim with adrenaline due to proxy-oxytocin you feel like you’ll burst.

Dear doula,

We see you...

when your plans are changed last minute again because babies don’t have calendars, and you miss yet another family dinner because you love to selflessly serve pregnant mamas.

Dear doula,

We see you...

as you wake up in the morning completely sore from 18-hours straight of hip squeezes and counter pressure because you would do anything to make her laboring easier.

Dear doula,

We see you...

while you cry in the shower trying to process when trauma and heartbreak happen and you had a front row seat but couldn’t do anything to stop it.

Dear doula,

We see you...

and we applaud you. Your servant’s heart and selfless devotion do not go unnoticed, and as long as we are around we will be giving you the recognition you deserve!

So, thank you.

You are making a difference, and you are seen!

One of my favorite birth tools!!

More often than not, I have clients who are completely unaware of what a TENS Unit is. Not only is it an incredible tool during birth, but also for any kind of ache and pain. We have 3 of them at my house plus the 1 in my doula bag!

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation — and it’s one of my favorite tools for natural pain relief during pregnancy, early and active labor.

Here’s how it helps:
⚡️ Gentle electrical pulses are sent through pads placed on your lower back.
🧠 These pulses help block pain signals from reaching the brain.
💆‍♀️ They also boost your body’s natural endorphins — your built-in pain relief system!

Many birthing people love that the TENS unit:
✅ Offers control — you can increase or decrease the intensity as you need.
✅ Can be used early in labor and moved with you as you walk or change positions.
✅ Is completely drug-free and safe for both mom and baby.

💡Tip: TENS works best when started early in labor and used continuously.

If you’re curious about adding a TENS unit to your birth plan, let’s chat about how it can fit into your comfort-measures toolkit. 💕
