Every birth has moments that stand out. This birth highlighted two stand out experiences for me. The first was her intuitive nature around positioning, needs and mindfulness. She had been doing mindful meditations throughout her pregnancy, and we had so many intentional conversations and moments during prenatals . That practice was so illuminated during this labor, which shifted very quickly once it revealed itself. The second, was the unbridled pride and joy her husband gazed at her with. Not only during the birth, or after the birth, but when their baby first latched, he just looked at her with wonder. I love… love♥️.

Part of my midwifery practice is creating herbal tinctures to help women before birth, during birth, and after birth. I’ve added herbal remedies for postpartum depression and anxiety. Here’s a small sampling of some “go to” herbs.

Great Birth. Great Team. Grateful.
