To the doulas and caregivers-as my page consists of both. You’re doing sacred work always and it never goes unnoticed.

I see you ❤️

Dear doula,

We see you...

on those late night drives back home when your heart is pounding and you are so filled to the brim with adrenaline due to proxy-oxytocin you feel like you’ll burst.

Dear doula,

We see you...

when your plans are changed last minute again because babies don’t have calendars, and you miss yet another family dinner because you love to selflessly serve pregnant mamas.

Dear doula,

We see you...

as you wake up in the morning completely sore from 18-hours straight of hip squeezes and counter pressure because you would do anything to make her laboring easier.

Dear doula,

We see you...

while you cry in the shower trying to process when trauma and heartbreak happen and you had a front row seat but couldn’t do anything to stop it.

Dear doula,

We see you...

and we applaud you. Your servant’s heart and selfless devotion do not go unnoticed, and as long as we are around we will be giving you the recognition you deserve!

So, thank you.

You are making a difference, and you are seen!

Soak it ALL in 🫶

I always say “The days sometimes drag by but the years fly” ❤️🥺

There’s something about holding my baby close that feels like time just stops. The world can be loud, busy, and overwhelming…but in this moment, it’s just the two of us. His little breaths, his soft weight against my chest, the way his tiny fingers curl as he drifts to sleep… it’s the purest reminder of what really matters. 💕

Motherhood is full of long nights, endless feedings, and days where exhaustion feels heavier than anything else. But then there are these quiet pauses, where love washes over everything and I’m reminded that every sacrifice, every hard moment, is worth it.

Because one day, he won’t fit this perfectly in my arms. One day, I won’t be his entire world. But today, I am. And I’ll soak in every second…the cuddles, the warmth, the peace.

This is what love looks like.
This is what forever feels like.🩵

Slowing down has its place in every season of life 🌿

In the tender days after birth, slowing down allows a new parent to rest, heal, and bond with their baby 🥰
In the later years, slowing down gives space for reflection, connection, and preserving energy for what matters most 🫶

Whether it’s postpartum or elder care, the pause isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. Slowing down honors the body, nurtures the spirit, and makes room for love to grow 💛

Dear mama,

Always be kind to yourself 🫶

You’ll never convince me that six weeks is enough time to recover after having a baby

Six weeks is barely enough time to figure out how to sleep again
Barely enough time to start feeling like your body belongs to you again
Barely enough time to stop crying in the shower because you feel so overwhelmed

No one talks about how deep the healing really goes
It’s not just physical
It’s emotional
It’s mental
It’s your entire identity shifting
It’s learning how to be a mom while trying to remember who you are outside of that

So if you’re months in and still feel like you’re picking up the pieces
You’re not failing
You’re just human
You just brought life into the world
That kind of magic deserves more than a six week timeline

Be gentle with yourself
You’re doing better than you think

Just 3 hours after walking into the hospital, sweet baby boy made his grand entrance earthside. 🌎💫

We were doing curbside curb walking, parking lot squats, and ALL the little tricks to keep labor moving — and let me tell you, this mama did it all with such grace. She trusted her body, stayed focused, and followed every bit of advice like the warrior she is. 💪

Birth isn’t just about contractions and timing… it’s about courage. It’s about listening to your body when everything inside you says keep going. It’s the quiet strength between the surges, the deep breaths, the hands that are holding you, and the unspoken power of a mother in her zone.

Mama, you did that 🥰

As your doula, it was an honor and a privilege to witness your first breaths and the strength, love, and courage that brought you here.

To your amazing parents: your love, power, and presence were beautiful to behold. Thank you for allowing me to walk beside you on this sacred journey.

Here’s to a lifetime of snuggles, milestones, & unforgettable moments 👣

Welcome earthside, baby BOY 💙😍

Today we celebrate the fathers who are present, who learn, who love fiercely. The ones who rock the baby at 3am, who ask questions, who grow alongside their partners. I see you 💙

Watching my daughters play softball reminds me so much of the strength I witness in birth work. The determination, the courage, the resilience—it’s all there on the field and in the birth space.

Both teach me that showing up with heart, even when it’s hard, is where the real power lives.

Proud to be their mama. Grateful to support strong mamas ❤️
