🔔 Just a little reminder: Doulas support ALL births!

Doulas aren’t here to tell you what kind of birth you should have. We’re here to support the birth you want to have! No matter the path your journey takes. Whether it’s a planned C-section, medicated birth, or unmedicated labor, your birth is about YOU, not us. Our role is to set aside bias and provide the emotional, physical, and informational support you need to feel empowered. 🤰🤍

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month is observed in October to honor and support families who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. It serves as a time to raise awareness, provide education, and create a supportive community for those affected by such loss.

💜This month also encourages open conversations about the often-silent grief and emotional impact of pregnancy loss. It offers an opportunity for healing as families navigate their grief and provides more spaces to connect with others who have experienced similar losses.

💜If you’re in need of support, Pierced Forever is an amazing local foundation to help lead grieving parents in the right direction surrounding their loss.

I couldn’t let end without giving a shoutout to my girl Colleen of Forest River Midwifery 💜

💫Sometimes people come in to our lives at the most unexpected times and end up making a life-changing impact. I first met Colleen at a Spinning Babies training in the spring of 2021. I was brand spankin new as a doula. Colleen had just moved back to Michigan after spending many years in the south working as a homebirth midwife.

💫We were both getting started with our practices in Michigan and happened to be paired up at this training. We worked well together sharing similar styles to our approaches to labor comfort measures and discovered we had similar energies. We spent our entire lunch break together getting to know one another more and I was eager to learn from her years of experience.

💫Colleen took me under her wing after that day and offered opportunities for me to attend births right away. She began exposing me to these amazing homebirths which gave me a true understanding for how to care for the physiological process of birth. This helped me gain a depth of initial experience few doulas are granted that early in their career. I am forever grateful for her entrusting me with her clients birth spaces when I felt inexperienced and sharing so much of her knowledge with me.

💫Colleen has become one of my closest friends. She has been a mentor as I navigate the waters of birth work, motherhood, and individual growth. Her passion for her work, family, spiritual path, nutrition, and nature are something I have a immense respect for. She approaches her work with such care and compassion while supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It is an honor to have her friendship and to work alongside her when given the opportunity.

My favorite piece of parenting advice I have received was simply “let go” and “be here now.”

Letting go of the expectations of how we think things should be and accept things for what they are.

So often in pregnancy, birth, and parenthood we hold on to firm beliefs and try desperately to control all the things. When we take some deep breaths and let go it makes room for space…space for acceptance and being present, here and now. Space to grow. Space to nurture. Space for our kiddos to be who they are and us as parents to enjoy the process of becoming. 🌱💜🪴

World renowned psychiatrist and author Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is best known for his research depicted in the book “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma.” The research explores the effects of traumatic stress on the body and mind. Within this we see how experiences of trauma can be physically held not only in the mind but in different systems of the physical body.

Aches and pains in our body can be clues of deeper emotional healing that may need to be explored. Likewise, when tension is released in the physical body it can make room for emotional processing as well.

This type of mind-body healing is termed somatic healing. My intuitively led massages coupled with my training in trauma informed care, aromatherapy for trauma, massage for anxiety and PTSD, can help assist with the somatic healing process. 📲 Book now to begin freeing your mind, body, and spirit! 💜✨
