Sunshine and sensory bins post a beautiful morning of birth support. Had my second and final birth for August this morning at Stafford Hospital. Plans for the rest of August include teaching a childbirth class tonight, Birth Partners class tomorrow, my little one’s 1st birthday on Wednesday and vacation out west starting on Friday. Life is so so good.

Just a reminder that it’s OK to love breastfeeding and also be equally overwhelmed by it. 💖

July has been full of radiant goodness ✨

Congratulations to the families of:
💖 Rosalina, 7/9, baby girl
💖Cecilia, 7/14, baby girl,
💖Asher, 7/18, baby boy

The birth stories of this month we’re all incredible in their own ways. One was a VBAC, one was a second time birth center birth and the third was a first time mama homebirth. All unmedicated, all with incredible partner support, just a great series of births!

The incredible mamas to these three babies worked incredibly hard to listen to their bodies, lean into the intensity of birth and trust the process. I am so thankful to have been a part of welcoming these sweet babies earthside! What magnificent mama magic I have witnessed.

Thank you for choosing me as your Doula. Know that you are so loved!

Water and pool time is the only thing keeping this little toothy babe of mine busy while I work. 💦🦷🦷

This is a birth story for a baby girl born in May. I love writing these keepsakes with parents after they’ve had some time to settle into parenthood and reflect on their birth. 💖

Real examples of words said in the birth room, with me standing beside my laboring clients and their partners.

How would you respond?

This morning’s productivity is brought to me by:
✨Babe starting to sleep mostly through the night, maybe one wake up between 11pm-5am
✨Caffeinated tea since pregnancy made my body hate coffee…still can’t drink it without immediate regrets 💩
✨A wonderful hubby who stayed in bed with our co-sleeping baby

My productivity looked like:
✨A 15 minute walk with the dogs before 6am
✨A shower
✨A few things marked off on my to-do list
✨TWO whole chapters of my overdue library book read
✨The quiet chance to make this post

What a beautiful, different way to start the day after 9 months of pregnancy and almost 11 months postpartum.

Yesterday, I was crying because I was so tired and this morning, I feel like me again! I know not every day is gonna look like this, but I’m very thankful for this morning. I still miss coffee though.

BIRTH PARTNERS CLASS in July and August!! Sign up via wildllc.janeapp.com to reserve your spot in one of these two sessions.

This is a class focused on 5 strategies to be a good support person in birth in the hospital, birth center or at home. We’ll talk about birth basics, reframing pain, communication in birth and hands-on support techniques to help you as the birthing mama feel comforted and connected throughout your birth journey.

There are only 5 spots per class and both classes are currently partially full. Hope to see you there!

Three births in a week and a half this month, all for 3 amazing baby girls. Two of these mamas were in labor simultaneously and fortunately in the same hospital, five doors apart! That was a first for me as a doula!

One common thing about these three births aside from the fact that they were all baby girls is that each Mama worked so incredibly hard to bring their babies earth side. These mamas were such determined women, each in their own way. And each couple had taken my Birth Partners Class! Also a first! It was such an honor to be in each room squeezing hips, swaying with a fan and guiding the process. Thank you for choosing me as your doula!

Congrats to the sweet parents of:
☀️Florence, born 6/17
☀️Brooklyn, born 6/19
☀️Alana, born 6/28

You are so loved!

Updated availability. I am technically booked for the year but am open to taking on 1-2 more Mamas (particularly TOL, birth center and/or Homebirth mamas) around the holidays. 2026 is wide open and I’d love to support you!

Made these because I need to be reminded too as I bleed and breastfeed. It was enough. I did enough today. 🥰💖

Thankful for my baby daddy and husband. Men as kind and caring as you are hard to find. Thank you for holding me throughout this journey in motherhood and standing with me when I feel lost in it. You were an amazing birth partner, you are a wonderful dad to our sweet 10 MONTH OLD(!) and I wouldn’t do this with/for anyone else. Happy Father’s Day!
