Hey mamas! I’m back on social media and taking virtual clients now!
After a few years of moving and supporting mamas all over my life is starting to settle and I am opening up my calendar more to the public rather then just friends and family!
🌸 If you’re interested in my services DM me and we can set up a consultation!
🌸 I will be posting my pricing soon and a meet and greet with me and my new Doula Bestie who will be supporting y’all as well!

I hope everyone has had an amazing holiday season and a happy New Year’s Eve!

I’m so thankful for all my amazing clients who choose me to support them during their pregnancy’s and postpartum journeys!

I have learned so much this year, attended beautiful births, held so many loved babies and worked with some of the best families!

In the new year I will not be taking new families from January- August as my family is taking an amazing opportunity in Florida for 7 months!

I will be taking clients with late August or September due dates and beyond for the 2022 year!

I hope everyone has a year full of blessings and babies 💞👶🏻

It’s the last day of World Breastfeeding Week so I figured I would reflect on what breastfeeding means to me!

I decided to breastfeed Kona because it was free food 😅and what I felt was the best for him; although, at that time I knew close to nothing about breastfeeding.
Those first few weeks of breastfeeding were the hardest moments in our journey. Kona had what they told me was a lip and tongue tie but everywhere I called refused to fix them so I suffered through the sever pain (nursing was painful for about 10 months of our journey😖)
As painful and hard as nursing was for me I had a ample supply so I counted myself blessed and nursed through the pain. During this past year Kona and myself had thrush for two months making it super painful (again) to nurse.
I have had countless clogged ducts which are always a pain to get rid of and hurt like crap!
And for the past two months Kona have had two teeth pop through allowing him to bite (🥵 that about ended our nursing journey very quickly)

Our nursing journey hits one year tomorrow and looking back through the challenges and my many doubts I am so incredibly thankful for what God has shown and taught me about breastfeeding and mamas.

Breastfeeding is HARD! Our system is not set up to support mamas who nurse, there are so many groups I had to leave because the misinformation that was being spread was ending journeys.
I hate that our society has made it so hard to inform mamas about breastfeeding. I also hate that when that when a mamas journey ends there is no support for her. It’s freaking hard to make the decision (or have the decision made for you) to end your nursing journey. Formula was made for the moms and babies who need it and it’s in no way a mark of failure!

So in celebrating breastfeeding week and hitting the one year mark tomorrow I want to encourage you because no matter how you choose to feed your baby your doing an amazing job, being a mom is hard work, and as long as your baby is fed that’s what matters!

✨Baby Wearing✨
Baby wearing is one of my favorite ways to help soothe a baby!

There are so many benefits to baby wearing that don’t only benefit the baby! While wearing your baby you get your second hand back all while still holding your baby close!! So that you can still be as productive as you want to be without missing those sweet sweet cuddles! 💗

For the baby it’s the best spot for an amazing nap as your heartbeat helps lull them to sleep! 😴
Baby wearing also helps baby’s build their muscles in their neck acting as some much needed tummy time!!

Did you wear your baby, and what’s your favorite type of carrier?! (Mines the moby wrap!)
