11 pounds 4.5 ounces, born peacefully at home.

Never let anyone tell you that your pelvis is too small to birth your baby. The truth is that the pelvis is mobile because the hormone Relaxin, which increases throughout pregnancy. The pelvis can change shape and expand to work with your baby if you are able to be upright and mobile. No one can predict a birth outcome. Tune into your intuition. Be informed on all your options and the risks, and make the decision that is right for your family.

Holding space, physically, mentally, & emotionally. Midwifery is an art of deeply respecting our bodies innate ability to birth our babies, while simultaneously walking the thin line of knowing when to intervene if things are moving outside of normal and safe.

Choosing a midwife doesn’t mean you won’t need any interventions during your birth. Choosing the right midwife means they will know when to sit on their hands vs when their unique set of skills are needed in the birth space. And, you have had the time to come to know who they are, how they view birth, and that you can trust their recommendations.

Breastfeeding oils, such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E oil, can offer several benefits for both mothers and babies during the breastfeeding process, especially for the care of the ni***es and skin. Here’s a breakdown of each oil’s potential benefits:

1. Coconut Oil
    •    Moisturizing: Coconut oil is known for its deep moisturizing properties, which can help prevent and heal dry, cracked, or sore ni***es, a common issue for breastfeeding mothers.
    •    Antibacterial & Antifungal: It has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties that can help prevent infections such as mastitis or thrush, which can be common among breastfeeding women.
    •    Skin Healing: It may promote faster healing of damaged skin, reducing discomfort caused by chafing and friction during breastfeeding.
    •    Gentle on Baby: Coconut oil is safe for baby, as long as it’s used in moderation, since it’s all-natural and gentle.

2. Jojoba Oil
    •    Soothing: Jojoba oil is known for its calming and soothing properties, which can provide relief for sore or irritated ni***es.
    •    Rich in Nutrients: It’s high in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, promoting skin health, hydration, and healing.
    •    Anti-inflammatory: It can help reduce inflammation, making it a great option for mothers experiencing ni**le tenderness or swelling.

3. Vitamin E Oil

🍃Herbal baths traditionally help women ease into their postpartum recoveries with relief and comfort.

🌟often herbal baths for sale are either
* Too small - we use 7 oz+ of herbs in EACH bath for clients
* Missing salt - ESSENTIAL for keeping infection at bay
• Have directions from someone unfamiliar with Birth recovery, because they suggest steeping the Herbs a matter of minutes instead of a half hour or longer to get the medicinal value

Thank you to our birth assistant and her daughter who make all of our herbal remedies

7 inches of snow on the ground, 5 degrees outside but that didn’t stop two babies from choosing their perfect timing.

What an honor it has been to support these families to bring their babies earthside peacefully in our clinic.

Babies come when they are ready, even if it’s not the most ideal weather conditions.

Stay warm out there!

Our Story

Birth is the foundation for our families and communities. God created women’s bodies to naturally deliver babies in most instances. Midwifery is biblical. It is defined as “with woman;” while some clients may require minimal interventions, there are other clients who require more. Each mother’s birthing experience is unique. Education in midwifery has not only empowered midwives to guide moms through their pregnancy and birth safely, but it has also provided midwives the knowledge and skills to assess expectant mothers for complications.

It all begins with birth; the woman’s way through God’s hands.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful. I know that full well. -Psalm 139:13-14
