I’ve added Placenta encapsulation to my doula resume! It’s pretty amazing being able to see the first home of new life. A baby actually grew in this thing! My kids are so excited about this new venture, they have wanted to see the placentas each time. My 9yr old actually took these pictures because he thinks it’s so cool! Approximately 1 in 8 moms will experience postpartum depression after giving birth. While encapsulating your placenta isn’t a cure-all, women have reported boosted moods and more balanced hormones since taking their placenta pills. They may even help with increasing breastmilk supply and better postpartum recovery, too!

Getting home at 4:15 in the morning is only worth it when a beautiful new life is brought into the world 💞. This doula is tired 😴.

Just had to bust out some serious semi-crazy doula moves to hopefully engage this little babies head into the pelvis, it’s been hours and change is needed. Hopefully after mom can rest we can tell if progress has been made. I really love it when nurses are so open to ideas and different positions and say things like “ya you want to do it right now? Let’s try it!”. Praying this baby comes tonight and doesn’t make mom and dad wait much longer.

EDIT: MY MOVES WORKED!! Engaged head and dilated 3cm in 1 hour!! 👏🏻👏🏻 just gave those nurses a little bit more faith in doulas 😉.

This was a picture from my very first doula client. I’m in the process of building my website after many years of birth work. If any of my clients see this and have pictures they wouldn’t mind me sharing on my website please sent them my way ❤️.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in the OR, this little girl knew something we all didn’t and wanted to stay breech. She’s about to meet her mommy and daddy soon!

It’s about to be raining babies over the next few weeks!

You are doing amazing!!!

Producing breastmilk takes up about 30% of the body’s energy. Your brain, for comparison, only uses about 20%.
You’re not doing nothing.
This is why you’re so tired at the end of the day.
This is why you’re so hungry and so thirsty.
So, if all you did was feed your baby today, don’t let your mind convince you that you didn’t do enough. You did enough. You did amazing. 🤱

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reading reviews really fills my heart! I still have a few last minute spots available for 2023 and into 2024! If you are pregnant and thinking of adding a doula to your birth team, please reach out, I’d love to chat with you.

“I chose Adriana as my doula, primarily, because she has such a warm and lovely presence and I knew that is what I would need when in "labor-land." Her confidence yet gentleness is exactly what I think every unsure birthing mother needs. My husband was helpful and supportive, but nothing beats having a fellow mother, experienced in natural birth, there to literally hold your hand (and in my case, allowed me to clench her hand). I'm so grateful to have had her support and guidance in one of the most transformative moments of my life.” -J
