โฃโฃ๐Ÿ’› This testimonial had me in my feelings. Iโ€™m always grateful when families allow me to come in and bring my own energy into their household while theyโ€™re learning how to balance theirs.โฃ
โฃ
Their baby was one of the easiest, most by-the-book little ones Iโ€™ve ever cared for (a true dream baby!). Mom and Dad also navigated postpartum so beautifully that it could have looked effortless from the outside.โฃ
โฃ
What stood out most about working with them was how much space they gave themselves to truly enjoy this season. The really focused on making time to reconnect as a couple. They were always trying new activities together, and it was so sweet to watch their bond deepen as they stepped into parenthood.โฃ
โฃ
Sometimes my work is helping through the hard, and sometimes itโ€™s holding space for the joy. Both are such an honor. โœจโฃ

That flood of expressive, sing-song speech with exaggerated tones and vowel sounds grabs infantsโ€™ attention, helps them decode words, and boosts their language development. In short, baby talk doesnโ€™t just bond usโ€”it literally builds our brains in a way that sets us apart from our closest relatives.โฃ

Happy birthday to my main squeeze!

Weโ€™ve grown up together in so many ways. Weโ€™ve navigated different seasons (some that stretched us, some that grounded us) and through it all, youโ€™ve stayed constant. Always showing up for your people.

Look at everything youโ€™ve done. The life youโ€™ve built. The family who loves you. The community that adores you. You are steady, kind, selfless, and so deeply loved.

39 years of lessons, memories, and experiences that made you who you are.

Hereโ€™s to your last year in your thirties!! And countless memories to come in this lifetime. Letโ€™s make it count.

Love you always.

I grew my new doula business to 6 figures in less than 2 years. Starting from scratch! If youโ€™re just starting out as a doula and trying to figure out how to actually make this a business, youโ€™re not alone. After training, I kept asking myself โ€œNow what? How do I actually get clientsโ€.

Thatโ€™s exactly why I created this 6-week mentorship. Itโ€™s for doulas who are passionate about the work but also want to build something real โ€” something sustainable and profitable. We cover everything they donโ€™t teach in training: how to find clients, set your pricing, protect yourself legally, and actually grow in a way that feels aligned.

You donโ€™t need a huge following or fancy branding โ€” you just need a clear path and someone whoโ€™s already walked it. If that sounds like what youโ€™ve been looking for, Iโ€™d love to support you. No pressure, just results.
