Okay friends, big announcement…
(NOT pregnant this time 😆)

After a lot of careful thought and soul-searching, I have decided to pursue nursing school! I feel that becoming a labor and delivery nurse (but always staying a doula at heart) will be the most impactful way for me to help area mothers.

At least for now, I feel unable to give birthing mothers the time and attention they deserve. Because I need to prioritize spending my attention on my own babies and on school, I have made the difficult decision to pause on taking clients.

I still have big dreams for a maternal care revolution in North Louisiana. Along the way, I hope to collaborate with maternal healthcare providers and stay connected with expecting mothers. If you are a fellow birthworker or a maternal healthcare professional, I would be happy to talk anytime.

✨Celebrating the slowness✨ …and looking like Adam Sandler.
Checking in to let y’all know I’m alive yet again! If it’s not apparent, I’m not a big social media poster. Lately, I’ve been more “mama” and less “Mal the Doula”. I’m at peace with that. Hoping to gear back up in the coming months when I’m not needed 24/7 by my new b**b barnacle. If you’re expecting a baby this year, message ya girl! 💕

Vibe I bring to the function: Really pregnant, will offer to help set up decorations, grabbed some wildflowers on the way, happy when conversation includes women’s/reproductive health ✨

I’m still alive and still a doula y’all, just been spending my energy away from socials!

‼️Great news for Louisiana moms and doulas‼️

I expect my services to be COVERED by private insurances and Medicaid when I come back from my maternity break in 2025!

I have joined forces with the Louisiana Doula Registry Board Committee as the doula representative for Region 8. The board is laying the groundwork to make qualified doulas reimbursable by private insurance and medicaid, which is SUCH fantastic news. It seems the biggest barrier to folks in our area wanting doula care is the out-of-pocket expense. Fortunately, Louisiana has passed legislation that will make doula care much more accessible. I am just getting into the details of it all, but reach out and I will pass along what I know!

I’m expecting my second baby in November!! We are over the moon and so excited to welcome another precious soul. I want to support a few more births before taking some time away…

SO I am offering sliding scale payments for due dates through October! I know things are tight for most folks right now. We can work out a price based on your ability to pay. Contact me to set up a free consultation!

Happy World Doula Day!
Having the right people on your team is a huge factor in having the birth experience you want. Let me help you feel this post-birth high, there’s nothing like it! 🤩
Shoutout to my beautiful, strong friend Sarah whose little is almost 6 months old already 🥹 She was one tough MOTHER!

Popping in to say I AM STILL HERE 😆
Those who know me are aware that I am NOT a social media fan. I probably won’t ever be a frequent-business-poster.
I had a lovely initial consult today and figured I better pop on my socials while I had a touch of makeup and a blouse on (lol)
Starting a business (while also being a full time mom to a very busy toddler) has been slower than I expected. HOWEVER, I am just as eager as ever to help mothers find empowerment through birth. Tell your pregnant friends!! 🤗
