My formal apology:

To the community,
I'd like to issue a heartfelt apology for the following realities:

I apologize for showing up to births with an unreasonable amount of counter-pressure techniques, comfort measures, and calm energy.
I understand it’s disorienting when someone walks in and actually knows what to do with a hip squeeze.

I apologize for supporting your partner, too.
I recognize that helping them feel confident, useful, and connected may cause unexpected warm feelings and fewer freak-outs.

I apologize for reminding you that you have options.
We know the ability to say “yes,” “no,” or “I need a minute” can be startling in a medical system that can at times, rush people.

I sincerely apologize for being on-call, answering your messages at 2am, reassuring you that the weird thing your body is doing is, in fact, normal, and then showing up on your doorstep looking surprisingly awake.

I apologize for staying through the whole birth.
Yes, the whole thing.
Even when it’s long.
Even when it’s longer than long.
I realize consistency and presence can be alarming.

I apologize for celebrating your strength, trusting your instincts, and believing in you even on the days you don’t believe in yourself.

And above all,
I apologize for making you feel supported, informed, respected, and never alone.
I know that level of care is simply unacceptable in today’s world.

Thank you for your patience as I continue being… well... Your Doula

With love,
Brenda ❤️

If you want a home birth with some awesome Midwives don't delay in reaching out to them, they book up fast! I love being able to work with these fantastic ladies.

Consider your options and schedule your free consultation as soon as possible with us! Friendly reminder to repeat clients, let us know immediately, as we would love to secure your spot! As evident in June and July of next year, we are now filling up our months quickly.

Almost everyone asks this question at some point when we are working together!

My answer: "That's okay. I don't have to be liked by everyone."

But to ease your mind further, I very rarely work with a nurse that doesn't like me (and honestly, it's not me they don't like, it's Doulas as a whole). Most are wonderful to work alongside. My goal; even if there is a nurse that doesn't like me, I hope that you can never tell. Because I will treat them with the same level of compassion and professionalism that I treat all nurses with.

It’s that time of year again when schedules get busy, families make plans, and suddenly… a lot of pregnant women start feeling nudged toward an induction “just because the holidays are coming.”

Here’s the truth:
✨ You don’t owe your birth to anyone’s calendar.
✨ You’re allowed to ask questions.
✨ You’re allowed to decline if there’s no medical need.

Holiday scheduling can sometimes create subtle pressure; from convenience, travel plans, or even well-intentioned suggestions from providers. But your body doesn’t know what month it is. It's growing a human regardless of what month you are due.

If an induction is medically recommended, that’s a different conversation, one where informed consent truly matters. But if it’s suggested simply because "the holiday season gets busy"... You get to pause, ask questions and make a decision.

Your birth. Your pace. Your timing. ❤️

If you ever need support navigating those conversations, I’m here.

Hard truths, but necessary ones.
Your birth experience deserves more than “making it through.” It deserves to feel supported, respected, and remembered for the right reasons.

I feel called out. 🤣
