A New Story Birth Center

Babies are joining families all year long, and we love every story. Tell us, what month are you waiting for your baby, or if your little one arrived early this year, what month did they join your family?

After birth, the world focuses on the baby.

But your healing matters too.

Movement plays an important role in postpartum recovery.

Gentle activity can help support:
• pelvic floor healing
• circulation
• mental health
• energy levels
• overall recovery

But knowing when and how to begin again is important.

At A New Story Birth Center, we support mothers not just during pregnancy and birth — but through the recovery that follows.

Your body did something extraordinary.

It deserves care, patience, and support while it rebuilds strength.

Motherhood is demanding — but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

As we stand at the quiet edge of Holy Saturday, the world holds its breath between the Cross and the Resurrection.

Yesterday we remembered the greatest act of love ever given — Christ laying down His life for us.

“Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13

And in a small, earthly way, mothers live a reflection of that love every day.

Motherhood is a thousand quiet sacrifices no one sees.

It is the sleepless nights.
The prayers whispered over cribs.
The worry carried silently in your heart.
The meals made, the tears wiped, the patience stretched, the life poured out again and again.

To be a mother is to give yourself — body, heart, and soul — for the life of another.

It is a love that costs something.

And that is why it is so sacred.

Christ showed us that true love is not comfortable, convenient, or easy.
It is sacrificial.
It kneels to serve.
It suffers.
And in the end… it gives everything.

Every mother who pours herself out for her children walks a small path that mirrors the Cross — loving, serving, and giving even when it is hard.

But the Cross is never the end of the story.

Tomorrow we celebrate the Resurrection.

Life after sacrifice.
Hope after suffering.
Victory after death.

So to the mothers who feel poured out today — know this:

God sees every hidden sacrifice.
Every prayer.
Every act of love.

And just like the story of Easter…

Love poured out is never wasted.

The Resurrection reminds us that what is given in love is always redeemed.

✝️

A blessed and holy Easter to all the mothers preparing their hearts to celebrate the victory of Christ tomorrow.

Public health starts long before the hospital.
It starts with education, nutrition, prenatal care, and trusted relationships with your care team.

Midwifery care focuses on proactive support, wellness, and empowering women with knowledge for themselves and their babies.

We have another amazing doula for you all to meet!

Hi! I’m Miranda owner of Delightfully Divine Company and I am a Bradley Method natural childbirth educator and certified Childbirth international doula, Dynamic Body Balancing certified facilitator and trained in spinning babies techniques. I dove into the birth world 7 years ago because of the profound impact my birth class and doula had for me when I was expecting and laboring with my own children.

I love helping empower families to prepare for a new addition to their family through education and with bodywork to help them alleviate pregnancy discomforts.

Not only do I provide physical, emotional support and spiritual support for moms and dads during labor but additional knowledge and peace of mind.

If you’re interested in learning more about my upcoming class starting in April please visit

My faith is a big part of my life. I am beyond blessed to be a part of a miracle every day that I go to work. I love to sing and lead worship at my church. I enjoy playing volleyball and being outside with my husband and 3 kids. You’ll probably always find me wearing something purple 💜

One of the most common questions we hear:

“What’s the difference between a doula and a midwife?”

Here’s the simple breakdown.

Midwife:
Medical professional responsible for your clinical care.

Doula:
Continuous emotional and physical support throughout labor.

Midwives monitor the health of mom and baby.
Doulas focus on comfort, advocacy, and support.

Together, they create a powerful birth team.

It’s not either/or.

It’s about building the right support around a mother so she can have the safest and most empowering experience possible.

Birth is better when women are supported.

Meet one of the doulas we are privileged to work with!

Ciara King is the founder of Kingdom Beginnings Birth Services, a collective of doulas serving families in Central Minnesota and the Twin Cities. She is a Certified Birth Doula, Certified Postpartum Doula, Certified VBAC & Cesarean Birth Professional, Childbirth Educator, and Certified BRM® Pro who is passionate about walking alongside families with Christ-like compassion, practical preparation, and evidence-based support through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. Her training in Body Ready Method® allows her to further support families with practical, holistic, body informed support and preperation for pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and beyond. Her heart is to help families feel seen, strengthened, and deeply supported during one of life’s most sacred and transformative seasons.

Ciara is driven to use her doula services to strengthen families from the very beginning through compassionate, intentional, Christ-centered support.

What does Ciara do when she’s not helping as a doula?

Ciara is a wife, homeschool mom of three, and former construction foreman who has long felt called to serve others. After receiving doula support herself, she began to see that calling in a new light and the Lord used that experience to lead her into birth work.

One of the biggest misconceptions in maternity care is that support during birth doesn’t matter.

It matters more than people realize.

When women feel supported:

• Stress hormones decrease
• Labor hormones work more effectively
• Birth progresses more smoothly

This is why doulas exist.

Not to replace partners.
Not to replace midwives.

But to strengthen the entire support team.

Because when a mother feels safe and supported…

her body works exactly the way it was designed to.

Things a doula will never say:

“Just do whatever they tell you.”
“Your questions don’t matter.”
“Birth has to look one specific way.”

Instead a doula says:

“Let’s talk about your options.”
“You are doing incredible.”
“Your body knows what to do.”
“I’m right here.”

Birth is not something that happens to you.

It’s something your body was designed to do.

And a doula helps you remember that strength when you need it most.

Tag a mom who deserves incredible support during birth 🤍

Most people think a doula is just someone who “helps during birth.”

That’s not even close.

A doula is your steady presence when labor gets intense.
Your advocate when you need someone to remind you of your options.
Your calm voice when emotions run high.
Your support person when your partner needs support too.

Research consistently shows that when a doula is present:

• Labor is often shorter
• Cesarean rates decrease
• Mothers report higher satisfaction with their birth experience
• Families feel more supported and informed

Birth is powerful.
But no woman should feel like she has to do it alone.

That’s where a doula comes in.

This week is National Doula Week!!!
