What your doula wished you knew...

I’d tell you it’s beautiful.

I’d tell you it’s sacred.
I’d tell you it’s empowering.
I’d tell you it’s candlelight and whispered affirmations and women discovering their strength.

And all of that is true.

But here’s the part I we don't say enough:

Your doula cares about your birth more than you know.

She cares about how you are spoken to.
She cares about who touches you and when.
She cares about the tone in the room.
She cares about the pause before a decision.
She cares about your partner not feeling lost.
She cares about your “no” being heard the first time.
She cares about your dignity.

She is watching everything.

She notices when your shoulders tense before you say you’re scared.
She notices when the room gets loud.
She notices when you need water, or quiet, or reassurance, or space.

Because birth is not just about how your baby arrives.
It’s about how you arrive.

You deserve to look back and remember strength.
You deserve to remember being respected.
You deserve to remember feeling supported, not managed.

A doula is not there to control your birth.
She is there to protect your experience.

And long after the lights are turned off and the room is quiet,
she will still be thinking about you.

Wondering if you’re resting.
Hoping you feel proud.
Hoping you feel seen.

That’s the part we don’t put in the brochure.

We don’t just show up for your contractions.
We show up for you.

Tuesday into Wednesday brought a new chapter in my doula journey. I supported my client for over 24 hours through an induction and trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC). After a few fetal heart rate decelerations and pure exhaustion- she made the informed decision to proceed with a repeat cesarean section.

While a cesarean is not typically the intended outcome in doula work, my role is to support my client’s preferences and informed choices every step of the way. I’m grateful I was able to be there for her and that both she and her baby girl are safe & healthy. I can now say i am experienced in both epidural labors and csections. It was such a meaningful experience to stand beside her as she welcomed her baby into the world & to be the one to hold her baby to her as she got in those first snuggles & kisses.

Congratulations mama 💕

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

Today my heart is especially full.
To every family who has welcomed me into their sacred birth space — past, present, and soon-to-come — thank you. Your trust is one of the greatest gifts I could ever receive.

Being invited to hold space during such an intimate and powerful moment in your lives is something I’ll never take lightly. I am endlessly grateful for the strength you’ve shared and the love I’ve witnessed.

Wishing each of you a holiday filled with peace, warmth, and connection.

Having a birth doula can make a powerful difference in your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. Here’s a clear breakdown of why many families choose to have one:

⸻

🤝 What is a Doula?

A birth doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and shortly after childbirth. Unlike medical providers, a doula doesn’t perform clinical tasks—but focuses entirely on you and your comfort, confidence, and care.

⸻

🌟 Why Have a Birth Doula?

1. Continuous Support During Labor

Unlike nurses and doctors who rotate shifts, a doula stays with you throughout your labor, offering consistent, one-on-one care.

2. Reduced Risk of Interventions

Studies show that people who have a doula are:
• Less likely to need a C-section
• Less likely to request an epidural
• More likely to have shorter labors
• More likely to feel satisfied with their birth experience

(According to research from Cochrane Reviews and Evidence Based Birth)

3. Emotional Support for You & Your Partner

Doulas help you stay calm, confident, and informed. They also support your partner—guiding them in how to help you best, so you’re both involved and empowered.

4. Hands-On Comfort Techniques

From massage to movement suggestions, breathing guidance, and position changes, doulas offer tools and techniques to help manage labor pain naturally (or alongside medical support).

5. Advocacy & Communication Help

Your doula helps you understand your options and encourages open communication with your care team. They don’t speak for you—but they help you feel heard and supported in your decisions.

6. Support Beyond Birth

Many doulas also assist in the early postpartum period—offering breastfeeding support, recovery tips, and reassurance as you adjust to life with a new baby.

7. Birth Photography/Videography

Many doulas (myself included) will capture moments throughout labor/birth at their clients request. I even have been known to make sweet video reels for my clients highlighting their most raw and precious moments.

⸻

💬 In Short:

A doula is your personal guide through birth—a steady presence who offers knowledge, comfort, and care when you need it most.

Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, medicated or unmedicated, a doula helps you feel more in control, more supported, and less alone.

Exciting Update! Now Accepting Clients for 2025!

Since I’m officially a certified labor doula, & not as freshly postpartum with my own baby- I am now welcoming new clients for 2025! If you’re expecting and looking for compassionate, knowledgeable birth support, I’d love to be part of your journey.

I’m happy to share that I accept Humana Healthy Horizons Medicaid as payment for doula services, making quality birth support more accessible for families.

If you have a different Kentucky Medicaid plan, it’s easy to switch if this service is important to you! Humana Healthy Horizons covers as much—if not more—than other Kentucky Medicaid plans so it’s a great choice! I’m happy to answer any questions and help guide you through the process.

For those without Medicaid, I also offer out-of-pocket payment options at a discounted rate to ensure that every family has access to the support they deserve. Payment plans are accepted!

Let’s make your birth experience empowering, supported, and stress-free! Message me for more details or to book a consultation. Tag any friends/family you know that may be interested. 💕

🌟 Exciting Opportunity! 🌟

I'm in the final stage of my doula certification journey and only need one more client to complete my three certifying births. If you or someone you know is expecting a baby in (ideally) May or June and planning a natural birth, I would love to offer my support free of charge for the right match. My goal is to complete my certification before I welcome my own little one in August. As your doula, I would be available for knowledgeable support the remainder of your pregnancy, and advocating your wishes by your side to support you during labor and delivery as you welcome your baby into the world. Your journey is precious, and I'm committed to providing compassionate and empowering care every step of the way. If you're interested or have any questions, please reach out to me directly.
