✨ Reintroduction ✨
Hi friends, and welcome to all my new followers!
I’ve always had a deep love for birth– the strength, the beauty, and the sacredness of it all. It’s been woven into my life since I was a teenager.
I came across these pictures and thought I would share a glimpse into one of my own births. These are some photos of the last day I was pregnant, during labor, and after the birth of my youngest child (he weighed 10 pounds 8 ounces).
If you wonder why I was listening to my own baby’s heartbeat while in labor, well… it just felt normal for me to do so.
I was in birth work through the mid-90s and early 2000s as a birth assistant and doula. Becoming a midwife came many years later.
Birth has shaped me– not just as a mother, but as a woman who believes in honoring these powerful transitions with tenderness, truth, and trust.
As a midwife, my own birth experiences have deeply influenced how I practice. With a strong belief in informed consent, evidence-based education, and a client-led model of care, I strive to honor women and their desire for a supported physiological birth.
Whether you’re here for education, encouragement, or simply to be reminded you’re not alone on your journey, I’m so glad you’re here. 🕊️
Tell me in the comments- where are you at in your own journey right now? Expecting, postpartum, parenting, or simply cheering women on? 🌿
