"Delaying the first bath encourages the establishment of breastfeeding along with the bonding that mothers get which being skin-to-skin with your newborn promotes."

Learn more evidence-based research about delayed bathing in our position paper library. This is a great resource to utilize in your work, and you can even earn a CEU!

“Can my partner really show up for me the way I need them to?”

It’s a question so many expectant parents carry—often quietly.

Because loving someone doesn’t automatically mean knowing how to support them during birth.
And wanting to help doesn’t always translate into feeling confident, calm, or useful in the moment.

The truth?
Birth is not intuitive for most partners. It’s learned.

Support looks like:
• Knowing what’s normal—and what’s not
• Understanding how labor unfolds
• Recognizing when to step in and when to step back
• Offering comfort without needing to be asked
• Being a steady, grounding presence when things feel big or overwhelming

This is exactly why I teach Prep4Partner™️, a 4-hour class through

It’s designed to take partners from “I want to help, but I’m not sure how” to “I know what to do, how to do it, and how to stay present.”

Because when partners are prepared, they don’t just show up—
they show up with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

And that kind of support can change everything.

✨ If you want your partner to feel ready—not just willing—Prep4Partner™️ is for you.

This may be an unpopular opinion—but you don’t need to be fearless to give birth.

You can feel unsure.
You can feel nervous, overwhelmed, or scared.

Fear isn’t a failure.
It’s a natural response to something big, unknown, and meaningful.

As your doula, my hope is to share resources that may help you feel confident, empowered, and calm.
And if that feels impossible, I’m right beside you—steady support, exactly as you are.

🤍

If you’re preparing for birth and want steady, grounded support, I’d love to connect.

You can DM me or follow along.

What do I do as your doula?

Before your birth, we talk.
About your fears.
Your hopes.
What you want—and what you don’t.

I learn you.

So when the day comes, I’m already listening.

It’s in the preparation.
The cool cloth before you ask.
The ice, the warm blanket, the steady presence.
The coffee and food—for you and the people who love you.

It’s in the details.
The planning. The prepping.
The quiet reminders of your strength.
The encouragement when things feel heavy.
The debriefing afterward—making sense of what you lived.

I don’t do birth for you.
I walk with you through it.

This is doula care.
This is what support can look like.

Doing a thing...adding Prep4Partner to my menu of birth services! As many of you may know, I accepted a new job this school year and my time taking birth clients is extremely limited. This is a way that I can stay connected to the birth community while helping couples prepare for their birth day! I am so excited to offer this class for the birthing mamas and their partners! Looking to host my 1st class in October and offering a 10% discount to the first 5 couples to register! Use the code P4P10 when you register, and please let me know if you have any issues along the way.

Let me know if you have any questions, and please share with your friends!

Can’t wait to see you there!

People often ask me, “What does support actually look like? What do you do?”

Honestly?

It looks like encouraging you when you’re at your limit.
It’s sending you helpful info when you’ve got a million questions.
It’s reminding you of the strength that’s already inside you — even when you can’t see it yet. 💛

Support isn’t just for the birth itself. It’s for the weeks leading up to it, the blurry, sleepless days after, and every moment in between.

I always tell my clients — this is your journey. I’m here to follow your lead, give you what you need, and hold space for you through it all.
I can’t guarantee how things will unfold, but I’ll show up for you, help you process, and make sure you never feel alone in it. 🤍
