Friends, I used to be a person who felt I had no connection to my own placenta and my baby's placenta. It turned out I was carrying a huge wound left behind from the way I was separated from my own placenta and how my babies were separated from theirs. With every child I had and the learning evolution that occurred thereafter, I became more conscious to the fact that placentas being treated like medical waste is a huge disservice to humanity. It's also a beautiful opportunity we have to honor and respect our babies as people who matter on this planet!

I hope to help families honor their baby's placenta and the process of separation that occurs in a gentle, conscious, and respectful way.

Placenta consultations will always be a free service! Please reach out and let's work together to form a placenta plan for your upcoming birth!

During our interactions, I want you to feel supported and cherished because you truly are worth it! Honoring your baby's placenta is crucial to me, as well as honoring you. It is always my goal that these values shine through and that you can feel the love that goes into my work in every detail.

By the way friends, some of you know I have my doula services currently on hold while I have a newborn at home. I am however excited and ready to begin offering various placenta services! I would love to set up a free consultation to discuss them further with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you or someone you know might be interested - I am always here and eager to help. 🥰

A fabric womb made by Angélique du Coudray, a French midwife who was commissioned by King Louis XV to reduce infant mortality. From 1760 to 1783, she traveled all over France, visiting poor rural women and sharing her extensive knowledge with them. It is estimated that she trained some 10,000 women.
Du Coudray also invented the first lifesize obstetrical mannequin, for practicing mock births, and published a well-received midwifery textbook

Hi friends!

I've republished my page to publicly offer my placenta practitioner services again!

I have one spot open for someone due in December.... Last minute procrastination mamas I'm looking at you haha! 😋🥰 If you are within an hour and a half drivetime of Moberly Missouri I will discount my rate by $30. When I reach the right person this offer will end. :)💛

Please reach out for a free consultation anytime and I'm happy to send out my placenta guide to detail everything that is offered in my Holistic Placenta Services if you have a due date of February or beyond in 2023.

Warmest blessings to you and yours! ✨️🌟✨️

Today is Bereaved Mother's Day.

If you didn't know this day existed, you might be one of the lucky ones. If you did know this day existed, please know that you're not alone.

Today is the day we honor all of the Mothers who have heavy hearts.

❤️ We honor those still waiting for their miracle.
❤️ We honor those who have had failed fertility treatments.
❤️ We honor those who have lost their embryos.
❤️ We honor those who have had a pregnancy end too soon.
❤️ We honor those who have suffered a stillbirth.
❤️ We honor those who have lost their babies.
❤️ We honor those who have lost their children.

We acknowledge that not all mothers will enjoy Mother's Day. It's a painful reminder of what they've lost, what they no longer have, or what hasn't come easily.

Once a mother, always a mother.
Loss doesn't change that.

Hi friends!

How are you all?

I know I don't post regularly enough here in Facebook land. I'm still here and kicking if you were wondering lol. 😅 I just wanted to share a sweet picture from this week with you.

I'm just feeling a very big sense of gratitude for what I am able to be apart of in this lifetime!

Check out these beautiful images celebrating world doula week! Danielle is an amazing birthkeeper and photographer located here in Central Missouri. You should check her body of work out of you haven't!
I've had the pleasure of witnessing her in action holding mothers in their birthing space while documenting and creating her art. It's a beautiful sight to behold.
Happy World Doula Week everyone! 💕

Free birth.
Free birth from the idea that we are broken.
That our bodies are flawed and will fail us.
Free birth from the idea that we must be saved.
That machines and men in white coats will come to the rescue.
Free birth from a system that reduces us to numbers and statistics.
That views us as parts
Rather than the whole, intricate, complex, perfect beings we are.
Free birth from the fear that emergency is imminent.
That we must hold our breath and prepare for the worst
Rather than exhale into the wild mystery of what beauty may come.
Free birth from the limits that reduce it to a medical event
Rather than the sacred rite and wild initiation that it can be.

Free birth and you free the future
Free birth and you heal the past
Free birth and you free your self
