this is so beautiful and true!!

👁️ Did you ever wonder why the baby’s taken across the room? Why the cord is clamped fast, the mother left shaking, the lights so bright it feels like judgment?

Did you ever feel the stillness—the eerie quiet when the father’s hands are empty, the grandmother’s not in the room, and the newborn is nowhere near a breast?

It’s not just medicine.
It’s not just policy.
It’s a ritual.
And it’s not ours.

🧬 They inject pig-derived Pitocin to mimic the hormone God designed to flood a woman’s brain in labor. But it doesn’t reach the brain. It only contracts the body.
The love doesn’t flow.
The imprint doesn’t land.
The bonding doesn’t seal.
Just pressure. Just force.

💉 Synthetic love.
⚡ Counterfeit release.
🧠 Neurological silence.

And while the woman is watched but not touched, while the baby is wiped but not suckled, while the father is praised for being “supportive” but not leading—
they cut the thread.

👶 The mother-baby dyad was made to reflect divine intimacy. To pass down trust, peace, protection.
But when it’s broken—
the body remembers.
The child stores the grief.
The mother learns disconnection.
The father fades from view.

That’s how it starts. But it doesn’t end there.

Then come the bottles.
The cribs.
The high chairs.
The eight-hour separations called school.
The praise of independence that is really just early detachment.
The lie that the nuclear family is enough. That Mom runs the home. That Dad is just for weekends. That children are safest raised by strangers in buildings funded by gods they do not know.

🕳️ We are not looking at broken systems.
We are looking at precision-engineered fragmentation.

And you feel it. You’ve felt it all along.
That something was taken before you could name it.
That someone was missing even while you were being told you had “everything you need.”

But listen: the lie only wins if we let it.
And we won’t.
We are pulling the babies back to the breast.
We are restoring the mother's voice in the birth room.
We are putting grandmothers back at the table.
We are praying over the placenta.
We are keeping them close at night.
We are burning the counterfeit and walking in the design.
This is not soft work.
It is a holy war

Resolving Shoulder Dystocia with the Gaskin Maneuver or McRoberts Maneuver by Jane Beal
A shoulder dystocia is when a baby’s head emerges from the birth canal, but the baby’s body does not follow because the baby’s anterior shoulder is wedged above the mother’s p***s symphysis bone. A midwife instantly knows it when she sees it by the “turtle sign”: the baby’s head emerges, but then retracts, like a turtle going back into the shell. The baby’s exposed face darkens as it suffuses with blood and becomes puffy. The baby is stuck. The midwife has less than six minutes to get the baby out before hypoxia leads to brain damage or death. https://www.midwiferytoday.com/mt-articles/resolving-shoulder-dystocia-with-the-gaskin-maneuver-or-mcroberts-maneuver/

Hello friends! Madison here. I wanted to hop on here and give a proper introduction:)

• I have been interested in birth work for many years now. With having the opportunity to be a part of many homebirths over the years, I learned very quickly what my passion was. My dream is to eventually become a midwife, but right now I am in the doula world (I received my training from DONA International) and I am so thankful to be in this season.

• I love working with people and helping them find ways to live a more natural and holistic lifestyle!

• I love to be outside. Gardening, hammocking, hiking, sun soaking. Anything outside is medicine for my soul.

• I am currently being trained as a certified herbalist. Learning how to use plants as medicine has been a fun adventure as I forage and make my own tinctures and teas for my family and community.

• I grew up in North Mississippi and currently live in the Memphis, TN area.

🌞My favorite movie is Little Women
🌞My favorite color is green
🌞I am a Christian. I am passionate about Jesus
🌞I have a Goldendoodle named Magnolia
🌞I love to travel. The mountains are my favorite

Hello! Glad you are here:) I'm Madison and I am the birth doula of Sweet Shalom. My job as a birth doula is to provide physical and emotional support to all of my clients as I encourage them during pregnancy and labor. I believe that every birth is beautiful and that every woman deserves to be educated on her options and alternatives for pain measures and have freedom to choose how she would like her labor to flow.
'Shalom' is a Hebrew word which means "peace". This word can mean peace between two persons, inner peace, being calm or the quietness of a person, welfare or safety of an individual. This experience of peace is what is intended for each one of my clients during labor; peace between my client and her partner, peace between my client and her healthcare provider, and peace between my client and I. With this in mind, I hope to provide the best care and encouragement to every person who wants a doula.
