Little thing about me - I’ve always sought after a “fun” job.

In college I studied hospitality and tourism management (go Hokies!) with the thought of going into event planning 🎉🎈🍾or tourism ✈️🗽🌋🏝️.

My last year of college I worked for a ski company that ran student ski trips to mont tremblant, Canada🎿

First job out of school brought me to CA, planning world-class all-inclusive guided trips with Disney 👑🎢

Then came the move to Asheville, where I worked for Sierra Nevada brewing co planning amazing beer festivals 🍻 (and my pickiness for good beer reached new heights)

After 2020, my work moved online with a marketing agency and I entered working mom life - the pictures surrounding my desk and pump ready at hand 🥲💪

I like fun!! I’ve always thought work should be fun - and although this work I do now is serious, we have fun together y’all! I promise we’ll laugh together along the way.

If you’re interested in vibe check, let’s set up a call! DM me and I’ll send you the link 😊

For reeeeeaaaal!

Real things I’ve heard that make it sound like you don’t have options when really you do:

“Go ahead and lay back and we’ll check out what’s going on” (about to do a cervical check)

“Okay, let’s go ahead and break your waters!”

“Since your contractions have slowed down a good bit since you got here, we’re going to start some pitocin for you”

“Go ahead and lay down in bed”

“Let’s go ahead and get you connected to the monitors”

“Yes! Your water is broken! You can get you settled in a room now”

These aren’t bad conversations to have, but they should be just that - conversations! Conversations that discuss the options you have and benefits/risks of different options.

Come learn about your options, and what’s evidence based vs what’s routine, in my Evidence Based Birth®️ childbirth class!

Next series starts March 8th, registration closes this Thursday, Feb 26th!

When you're going through the hardest parts of your labor, your why is an anchor.

When I'm working with moms who want to prepare for an unmedicated birth, we talk about their why. It's important for them to know it and to feel convicted in it.

Without that, I mean, why the heck would most women choose challenge, grit, and surrender...go through an experience for which there are barely words to describe, when there are other options?

And the why's can be all over the place:

Previous birth trauma their looking to avoid reliving

A deep connection to their mother, who chose to birth in this same way

A need to live out their trust in their body (sometimes a rebuilding of trust that they know belongs)

Avoiding a cascade of unwanted intervention to limit the risk of injury to both themselves and their baby

If you're considering an unmedicated birth, identify your why. It doesn't have to make sense for anyone else, but it has to make sense for you.

We dive into all things birth prep in prenatal yoga + EBB classes. If you don't have a why yet (for your birth preferences, no matter what they are) I feel VERY confident you will by the end of these classes.

“I’d love an unmedicated birth, but I’m open to an epidural if I want it.”

If deep in your heart, you want an unmedicated birth, you can't just wish for it — you have to prepare for it.

Most births (especially first births) aren’t “too fast for an epidural.” They’re endurance events and require perseverance.

Preparation matters:
✨ Knowing your why
✨Knowing how to work with your body
✨ Understanding birth physiology
✨ Practicing coping skills before labor
✨ Understanding evidence based care
✨ Confidence communicating your choices
✨ Having support that protects your intention

Wanting an unmedicated birth is a start.
Preparing for one is what shapes the experience.

Every mom giving birth deserves to know this and deserves to ask questions and get evidence based answers.

That’s why I think it’s so important for families to take a quality childbirth class. Once you learn about the systems, you get to be in the drivers seat rather than just along for the ride.

My next EBB®️ series starts March 8th, registration closes Feb 26th.

Dm me if you haven’t taken a birth class yet, and we’ll find one that works for you!

Also…rooftop or rooftops? 🤔

Y’all know I love my evidence based birth care. And you know what’s very that? This. (Homebirth).

The dog 🥹 The chicks 😍 The ability to birth your baby in the water if you want to.

Learn all about evidence based care and how to receive it - at home or at the hospital in my next EBB childbirth class series.

Next one starts March 8th! Sundays 4pm for six weeks. Registration closes Feb 26th - Limited to six couples!
