Pregnant folks! I'm no longer attending births but I'm still here to support you!

A Virtual Doula Consultation gives you a steady, grounded guide who can help you clarify your options, regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your intuition, and move through pregnancy with ease and support - no matter where you are.

This is not a generic "ask a doula anything" call.
This is deep care. Embodied wisdom. Soul-level support.

As the mother, you are not only bringing your child into the world- you are knitting the world into your child.

With every breath, every heartbeat, you loop into them the threads of your lived experience and lineage - the beliefs, fears, strengths, and wisdom passed down through generations.

As their body forms - cell by cell, loop by loop - in the warm ocean of your womb, the stories you carry are being knitted into their very tissues.

Each child becomes a unique thread in the larger fabric of the world, shaped by the woman who formed them.
And once they enter the world, they begin to weave something original and irreplaceable - a pattern that has never existed before, yet is rooted in what was passed to them - adding their own threads and designs to their own life, as well as the greater tapestry of life they are part of. - Author unknown

The Captain Morgan position! 🏴‍☠️ Aka the "Kneeling Lunge" if you're thinking of something less rum-soaked.

This can be a great position if you need baby to get lower in the pelvis or if you need to reduce an "anterior lip," when you have a little bit of cervix left at the front. Think about rocking into that open hip and really sinking down.

Make sure to do both sides!

THIS, I’VE LEARNED, IS THE FOUNDATION OF SELF-LOVE:

KNOWING THAT WE ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN OUR GREATEST MISTAKES, OUR WEAKEST MOMENTS, OR OUR MOST SHAMEFUL DECISIONS;

AND REALIZING THAT WE CAN BE WHO WE WANT TO BE RIGHT NOW, NOT JUST IN SPITE OF WHERE WE’VE BEEN, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF IT.

What I began to notice, after years of supporting birth, is that the missing piece was rarely more information. It was the absence of connection. Not just to the body in a physical sense, but to the deeper layers of knowing that live within it. The place where your mental understanding, your emotional responses, and your intuitive awareness are not separate~but in conversation with one another.

This is the invitation to explore the offering that is almost here.
On the blog, I start pealing back the layers that are shaping the online birth course.

Hop on over to the links in the bio, explore the blog, and sign up for the waitlist. Launch is planned for late summer/early fall!✨♥️

Holistic Birth Education: Birth as a spiral

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH, AND POSTPARTUM

A holistic approach to childbirth values the interconnected layers of mind, body, emotions, nervous system function, environment, relationships, and the unconscious.

Within this framework, we recognize that each individual arrives at pregnancy and birth shaped by personal history, family dynamics, cultural conditioning, previous experiences, stress patterns, and the environments they move through daily. Holistic birth education creates space for these realities rather than attempting to fit birth into a rigid ideology or one-size-fits-all philosophy.

This approach meets people exactly where they are in their unique pregnancy and preparation process. Whether someone is planning to give birth in or out of hospital, with or without medication, supported by an OB or midwife, holistic childbirth education offers tools for deeper understanding, informed choice, nervous system awareness, and embodied preparation that can support a wide range of birth experiences.

Respect your Elders🌿

This plant has become such an ally and friend over the years.
You’ll see it along roadsides throughout NC, growing free!

I first began cultivating a relationship with these beauties back on the farm @2010. It’s been a powerhouse of an immune boost throughout the seasons and a cheerful companion offering shade and attracting pollinators.

Elderberry is a healer and guardian to all who know and love her. Perhaps the truest medicine of any plant is the relationship we foster and grow with throughout the years!

These beauties were cuttings that have traveled with me since leaving the farm in 2020. This is their 2nd year in the ground and they are looking great!

Matriarchy isn’t women on top, it’s a circle with children and the vulnerable at the center.

It is not a mirror image of patriarchy, nor a reversal of domination. Matriarchy is rooted in care, responsibility, and collective survival.

Power is not hoarded at the top—it flows outward, guided by the needs of those who require protection the most.

Leadership is measured by nourishment, not control.

Strength is shown through safeguarding life, honoring interdependence, and valuing empathy as intelligence.

In this structure, women do not rule over others; they steward communities.

It is not about supremacy, but balance—where dignity is preserved, harm is minimized, and humanity is sustained.
