4 week old little guy was born at 36 weeks
After a healthy pregnancy, labor and birth was strong, empowering, respectful, and healthy.
After a challenging short stay in the nicu, baby mom & dad are totally in love and are amazing with getting the hang of parenting.
This was a postpartum visit & I’m
in love with the little guy too

Thanks so much!
Working with Seena was a wonderful experience! She prepared my partner and I for our first birth by providing education, resources and movement exercises that made us feel comfortable and ready. In the delivery room, her guidance on positioning and pushing was incredibly helpful to move labor along and we were so grateful to have Seena’s calm, encouraging energy during more stressful moments.

I am grateful every single time and amazed at the power and fortitude of every birthing person, and supportive strength of the birthing partner

HUMANS BEING are endowed with wisdom.
THE WISDOM of CHOICE
WITHOUT A DOUBT, making wise choices can be very hard
We have personal histories that can get in the way.
We have that voice inside our head
Sometimes, we need an objective guide, thats supportive & clears the way; because we are standing in our own way.

I LOVE THESE WORDS:
HATE has 4 letters, So does LOVE.
ENEMIES has 7 letters, so does FRIENDS.
LYING has 5 letters, so does TRUTH.
CRY has 3 letters, so does JOY.
NEGATIVITY has 10 letters, so does POSITIVITY.

OUR CHOICES ARE THE SAME WAY.

PARENT DATA by Emily Oster emily@email.parentdata.org

VALUABLE RELIABLE INFORMATION
GLP-1s Before, During, and After Pregnancy
Addressing common questions

As GLP-1s become more popular, questions have arisen about their use in pregnancy and breastfeeding, and we are slowly getting better answers. It is generally agreed that these medications should not be taken on purpose during pregnancy. But this leaves open issues about prescriptions around pregnancy and is particularly complicated by a recent growing body of evidence that suggests going on a GLP-1 might actually help you conceive.

FRIENDSHIP IN RELATIONSHIPS

Friendship in a relationship is something you build by sharing your stories, asking thoughtful questions, and making memories together.

When you truly feel like friends, you tend to see each other in a more positive light. That makes it easier to stay connected during tough times, give each other grace, and not take things too personally when conflict shows up.

At its core, friendship creates the trust and emotional closeness that long-term love really needs. It's what makes deeper intimacy—both emotional and physical—possible.

So if you’re looking to strengthen your relationship, start with friendship. It’s not just sweet, it’s essential

Here's what clients from the spring 2025 had to say

Seena was more than a great doula and I highly recommend working with her. While in the hospital, the nursing staff mistook her for the baby’s grandmother/my mother, which speaks to the energy of warmth, support, kindness and love she gives off. She’s very knowledgeable and I am so thankful for her. I cant count the ways we benefitted from her expertise and care before, during, and after the birth.
