✨Sibling introductions are the best! Just look at these two! What did you do when introducing the baby to the big sibling? For those who had a tough time, what helped make the transition smoother? We’re all ears! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

For the mother to feel held and supported is everything. Birth is dynamic, unpredictable, vulnerable and sacred. You really don’t know what will come up for your birth but feeling held, seen, and having support to navigate the journey is why I love being a doula.

I will hold space. I will hold your hand, give counter pressure, massage your feet, laugh, cry or just bear witness to your strength.

I will always hold the mother.
Sometimes I hold babies
But mostly, I hold the mother.

My mom and sister were there when both my babies were born. It was so special. I couldn’t have people around me when I was laboring 🤪 🙅🏻‍♀️ but when it came time to push, I was all for it.

I absolutely love that the closest women in my life were there when my babies were born. Just look at these photos 🥹 😍

Out of the office 🏔️ ⛺️ 🎣 ☀️

I have been off for almost two weeks. I am so grateful to have been able to enjoy Spring break with my husband and kiddos.

I am back to regular scheduled program on Tuesday 4/7.

Doulas are not just for homebirths and unmedicated birth. It’s about having someone with you to provide continuity of care, help navigate the unexpected, translate what’s happening in real time, and help create the calm 🩷

Also, wanting an epidural doesn’t mean you don’t want a low intervention birth. Being educated on timing for an epidural, how to keep out other interventions, different ways to push, and having peace of mind around it all can make a huge difference in your birth experience.

I was so grateful to have met Courtney! She helped me realize that I needed to share more about the benefits of a doula even regardless of the way you use pain management!

Courtney had such a ✨calm✨ birth and her baby boy was welcomed with so much love in the room 🩶

Lucky me 🍀
Look at this cutie baby! We aren’t getting pinched today.

————-
Three births in one week.
Their due dates were spread out over the month of March and all three came in the same week. This happens often. Back-to-back babies.
Somehow, it always works out and I am so grateful that the case.

I want to hold space for all of those who have births that, despite doing “all the things”, ended up going sideways.

I want to hold space for those who wanted a redemptive birth and gave it their all with choosing a good care team, got educated, prepped their mind and body, and still they were the .04% that has a different ending.

I want to hold space for all of those who did everything they could for a trauma-free birth and yet, there was still trauma and deep grief around how things went.

I want to hold space for all the folks who didn’t get immediate skin-to-skin with their baby, or photos, or even remember the first moments… or maybe don’t want to remember.

Holding space for all those who feel stuck in grief and sadness in their postpartum period and have lost hope about birth being a “beautiful experience.

Not every birth has a happy ending. I wish we could promise that to everyone… but they deserve to feel seen and heard, too. It’s hard! I will hold space for you and sit with you in your grief.

Love you.

I believe you!!! Period. You’re not being “dramatic” and you’re not making stuff up. You are in your body and can feel things that I cannot. You tell me, I believe you!

If you feel like you need to push - I believe you
If you are in pain and need support - I believe you
If you don’t want to be induced - I believe you
If you say you feel better don’t the hospital - I believe you
If you say you want to labor at home - I believe you

In home care is family centered care 🤍

This sweet family had a homebirth birth and I had the pleasure of being at their last homebirth, too. My heart is so full being able to bear witness to their growing family.

Pic 1, 2, 3 - postpartum care and making muffins for the family with big brother’s help (melt my heart!!!)
Pic 4 - snuggling baby brother right after his brand new baby sister was born in their bathtub
Pic 5 - in home prenatal meeting as we prepare for baby sister’s home birth. The kids were playing and part of the whole process.

& - love you guys and your beaaaaaautiful babies! Thanks for having me as part of your care team!!! xoxoxo

I get the question a lot if I only support unmedicated births and Homebirths…..

If you need me to go to an appointment with you, I got you! This is a VBAC client who really doesn’t want any fear or coercion to get a routine repeat cesarean. Her and baby are healthy, low risk, and she wants a trial at labor (TOLAC). But let’s be honest, the end of pregnancy is haaaaarrrdddd and it can be easy to be swayed because you just want this baby to be born (IYKYK). I am there to hold confidence and hope for you. We will take it one day at a time, one step at a time, pivot if needed, and walk through this journey together. I will hold strong to your desires and hold your hand when things feel really hard (mentally, physically, emotionally).

Doula support is not just birth support — it’s mental, emotional, and physical. It’s being there for you whenever you need it, which is sometimes 2am. It’s providing continuity of care for you from pregnancy, to birth and postpartum.

I met Ashely early in her pregnancy. It was cool to connect early on and have longevity. She told me they didn’t want to know if they were having a boy or girl until their birth day. I looooove this, it’s so rare these days.

Ashely & Brandon are so connected and have such a beautiful relationship. They know how to advocate, listen to concerns, then use data and their intuition to make their decision. They wanted a spontaneous labor and although that didn’t happen, they beautifully navigated a super short induction without needing Pitocin. It was quiet and calm as Ashley pushed and they welcomed their baby BOY.

I am grateful to have navigated their pregnancy & birth journey along side them. And oh my gooooooodness their baby boy was so cute and squishhhyyy, just shy of 9lbs. 😍😍😍
