Back to Roots: Holistic Wellness & Birthkeeping

06/03/2025

You were never broken. You were just bombarded.
With noise. With fear. With doubt about the most sacred thing your body was designed to do.

But you don’t have to birth that way.
You don’t have to settle for being managed, monitored, or manipulated.

🌿 ROOTED & READY is for the woman reclaiming her divine blueprint.
Not just to birth.. but to return to herself.

They told you to prepare your body for birth…
But no one told you how to prepare your spirit.

Birth is more than physical.
It’s sacred.
It’s ancestral.
It’s a divine partnership with the Most High.

This is your reminder that you don’t have to choose between a natural birth and a supported one.
You can have a birth that’s informed and spirit-led.
Rooted and free.
Peaceful and powerful.

Let the Most High write your birth story—with you, not for you.

Every year, Mother’s Day rolls around and folks scramble for a card, a brunch, a post…and think that’s enough.

But what about the other 364 days?

What about the late-night cries, the mental load, the invisible labor, the birth trauma, the lack of real support?

I’m not here to ruin the holiday. I’m here to reframe it.
Because if we really honored mothers, we’d build lives, systems, and communities that hold them up…not just celebrate them once a year.

This is your reminder:
Motherhood isn’t a one-day appreciation.
It’s an everyday commitment.
And for those of us doing this work, we see you. We hold you. We got you.

Tag a mama who deserves more than a post.
Let’s shift the standard.

You don’t need another checklist. You need a blueprint.

The system was never built to honor your power, so why keep preparing inside of it?

If you’re craving a birth that feels sacred, aligned, and actually natural (not just “unmedicated at the hospital”), this is your sign to start preparing the right way.

Inside my virtual birth program, we do more than talk about contractions and due dates; we decolonize birth prep, activate your intuition, and build the kind of confidence that don’t shake when labor starts.

You’re not too late. You’re right on time.

Comment “SOVEREIGN” and I’ll send you the free Birth Blueprint Starter Guide so you can get clear, grounded, and ready.

Because birth isn’t just about the baby; it’s about you coming home to yourself.

You were never meant to birth in fear.
You were designed to birth in power.

If you feel overwhelmed by mixed messages, medical pressure, or doubt in your body’s design… this is your reminder:

Your ancestors left you a blueprint.
Your body remembers it.
You are more than capable.

Inside this post, I’m sharing 4 Ancestral Keys that have helped my clients go from fear and confusion to fully trusting their bodies and birthing naturally.

If you’re ready to trade fear for faith and confusion for clarity, this is for you.
Swipe through..and then reclaim your birth.

What if your healing was never just for you?

My very first doula client dreamed of a peaceful home birth. She prayed, planned, and prepared to birth differently but not because it was easy, because it was sacred.

But even with all her courage, she felt isolated.
No aligned village. No guidance. Just faith.

Then we crossed paths. She trusted me as a brand-new doula, and I showed up with everything I had; love, knowledge, and presence.

She birthed her baby, naturally, at home. In peace. In power.
And later… she became a doula too.
She delivered my son.

This is the ripple effect of women empowering women.
This is legacy.
This is womb work.
This is healing that echoes.

Tag a woman who’s shifted your life.
Tell me: what would your dream birth story feel like?

Bottles are commonplace in the modern world. But just because they exist doesn't mean they are all the same. I own more than 60 bottles (I last counted 68 on the market, but the last 8 are so similar to so many others I haven't bothered to get them)...and only maybe 10 of those would I want anyone feeding a baby with, whether that baby is "breastfed" or "formula-fed". (And no, I'm not going to name names here.)

Did you know that "teat" is the official term for the "ni**le" of the bottle? Yep. And did you know that babies should be drinking from slow flow teats until they move to drinking from cups (by age one). There are a few exceptions to this, but rarely.

But there's no standard for what slow flow means. A baby should be able to drink about an ounce in five minutes...it shouldn't take much longer than that and ideally not faster. Their mouth should be wide open to drink and suckle...with a LOT of the teat in their mouth. And the bottle level with the ground, with SOME milk in the teat.

Most of the teats on the market are NOT a shape that makes any sense biologically. Look at the lower row of illustrated teats in the graphic...you want to avoid those most of the time. Of course, there are exceptions, but if you baby ONLY takes one of the shapes in the lower row, see an IBCLC to find out WHY.

If your baby gags, sputters, falls asleep quickly while drinking, gulps, screams, comes off frequently during a feed, or leaks milk while drinking from a bottle (or breast/chest), these are all signs that something isn't going as well as would be optimal. Feedings should be calm, with rhythm...cozy...and baby should be calm or asleep after a feeding. If not, get help.

Questions, post them below or send us a message! We're happy to help, whether you are feeding your baby human milk, formula, or both!
