My amazing client has given us the honor of sharing her accidental free birth 💜

This was my second time supporting this sweet family, just a little over a year since the last time. She is a true superwoman, and I’m so grateful for her permission and willingness to share her story.

⬇️ Birth story below ⬇️

"I went to bed at 40w1d after a membrane sweep, pumping, and miles circuit with nothing happening and no expectations that baby would be coming anytime soon. Then I woke up at 10:40pm to my first, very strong contraction, and knew baby was coming and it was going to be fast. I didn’t allow myself to think that for too long because I didn’t want that to be a hurdle I had to tackle later if that wasn’t the case. Instead I cleared and calmed my mind and surrendered to the contractions as they came, my next one within minutes, just as strong as my last, that first very intense one wasn’t just a fluke. After a couple more contractions each closer together and more intense than the last, I was already needing to vocalize to work through them. I knew it was time to wake my husband, with an urgency that it was time to start getting things ready and making calls to our birth team. He asked me if I really wanted him to already be calling everyone, I told him yes, calls started being made at 11:18pm. As he took care of everything I went into my own little world and labored mostly on the toilet, things continuing to intensify with shorter breaks in between and those breaks consisting of getting sick. Around 11:40pm things were feeling so intense as I labored next to our bed on my knees. My doula got there 11:44pm and started lightly rubbing my back through contractions, which is just what I needed to recenter myself as the intensity of things started to take over at the forefront of my mind.

After a few contractions I felt the need to go to the bathroom and made my way there, as soon as I sat down and another contraction came I could feel my body pushing. As I reached down to clean myself I could feel baby’s head and knew I wanted to get to the birth pool and needed to quickly. After another contraction, my body still pushing I ran to the pool and kept telling my husband to get the camera, it was 11:51pm. I knew that the baby was coming, and without our midwife. I felt calm and focused as my body continued doing the work for me. Another contraction and I felt my water break, as I reached down I could feel a full head of hair, baby was crowning. My body continued pushing and within a minute my baby shot out as I caught her and brought her up to my chest at 11:52pm. I was in complete shock in the best possible way. I felt like my body was on autopilot, she didn’t cry immediately, I gently rubbed and patted her back and suctioned her nose and mouth, as soon as I did that she let out the loudest most wonderful cry. At that moment I felt like my mind and body were able to take a minute and come back together after all that hard work.

This was my third baby and third home birth, the first that turned into an accidental free birth. Each one of my births have been so empowering but there was just something different about the way this birth made me feel. I was so proud of myself and my body for everything I just did. The intensity from the beginning really forced me to fully surrender my mind and body, and that was the best thing I could have done - no panic, fears, or worries only a relaxed and calm focus. The absolute most incredible high that I don’t know if I can ever fully put into words."

I hesitated sharing this post. I hesitated sharing how many births I supported this year, my losses, the days I felt like I couldn’t do it, and the seasons of depression that tried to stop me. But this is my story, and being real and raw matters more than looking perfect.

2025 was hard. I’m a full time homeschooling mama to two little humans. I suffered a miscarriage after two years of infertility. I faced burnout, doubt, and moments where I wondered if I had the energy or strength to keep showing up. And yet, I did.

I’m so grateful to every family who trusted me this year. You let me walk alongside you in the messy, beautiful, human moments, and you made this work meaningful in a way I can’t fully put into words.

This year taught me the power of boundaries, intentional yeses, and choosing alignment over everything else. It reminded me that sustainability, self care, and presence are not optional, they’re essential to showing up fully for the families I serve.

Looking ahead to 2026, I’m excited to keep supporting families I align with, helping more parents feed their babies, continuing to create keepsake jewelry and placenta services, and taking intentional time for family, rest, and growth along the way.

If you’re looking for support from a doula who knows what it’s like to be in the trenches, refuses to give up when life gets hard (really hard), and still shows up with softness in her heart, I might be the doula for you. I have a few spots left for 2026 birth support!

This work continues to evolve me every year, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. Here’s to showing up, learning, growing, and evolving, always. 💫❤️‍🔥🏵🪴🪐

This necklace was such a special project, and I’m so happy with how it turned out. It was made for the winner of my giveaway, who wanted something meaningful for her sister after losing her beloved pup. She asked for a blue background, ashes in front, and the fur shaped into a cross, all on a pendant about the size of my fingernail! Truly the tiniest canvas ever, but one I loved working on.
If you’ve been thinking about a memorial piece, I’d love to make one for you. 💙🐾

You deserve time, clarity, and autonomy in every part of your birth. One of the most powerful ways to protect that is by practicing advocacy phrases before labor begins.

In the moment, things can move quickly and it’s easy to feel caught off guard. Having these phrases already in your toolkit helps you slow the room down, ask the questions you need, and make decisions that truly align with your values.

And you don’t have to navigate that alone. A doula can help you understand your options, remind you of your preferences, and support you in asking the questions that matter. Having someone by your side who knows birth, knows your goals, and knows how to advocate with you can make these moments feel far less overwhelming.

Your voice matters in the birth space, prepare it now, and surround yourself with support so you feel confident using it when you need it most.

Breastmilk and diamond dust is forever a favorite pairing ✨️

With the year coming to an end, my heart feels so full. Thank you for every order, every story shared, every birth space I was honored to step into and every mama who chose me to create something meaningful for them. Supporting small businesses really does matter and I’m so grateful for all of you. 🫶

Three matching rings made with dried flowers from her mom’s funeral 💐

Dried flowers are some of my favorite inclusions to work with, and it’s always an honor to create pieces that hold so much love and memory. Being a one woman business, every piece is made by my own two hands with so much care.

If you’ve been wanting a keepsake piece using breastmilk, ashes, flowers, hair, fabric, or more, my inbox is always open. I’d love to create something meaningful for you too. 🫶
