Mama Earth Birth & Baby Services

Mamaearth Birth & Baby Services was created to help women know they have options and to ensure they have the best birth experience possible!

I began my journey as a birth doula in 2012 after the birth of my first son. Going through labor I had a doula to help my husband and I have the best birth possible. A few months later I realized that I had a strong desire to encourage women and their partners during pregnancy and birth and decided to take my first step towards doula training by enrolling in Penny Simkin's Allied Birth Vocations workshop at Bastyr University. Since then I have partaken in many continuing education classes and workshops and have apprenticed with Patti Ramos.

If you’ve been feeling wired but tired… depleted… touched out… running on fumes…

Let’s talk about milky oats 🌾

Milky oats are one of my favorite nervous system allies. They’re deeply nourishing (not stimulating), which means they don’t push your body — they rebuild it. Think long-term restoration rather than a quick fix.

They’re especially supportive for:
• postpartum depletion
• chronic stress or burnout
• frazzled nerves
• trouble “coming down” at night
• that foggy, overstretched feeling

Milky oats work slowly and steadily — tonifying the nervous system over time and helping you feel more resilient, grounded, and steady in your body.

And because I love a good herbal restock moment…

✨ Buy One, Get One 50% Off goes live tomorrow at NOON
✨ Runs through Sunday at midnight

If you’ve been meaning to replenish your apothecary (or try milky oats for the first time), this is your sign.

Set your alarm. Noon tomorrow. 🌿

Here’s the truth:

Birth is one day.
Recovery is not.

I see that families who feel the most grounded postpartum? They’ve planned for it. OR they’ve been postpartum before and then… planned for it. (This is not the truth for every single person- so don’t come at me!)

There’s something super stabilizing about having the same person who supported you in labor walk back through your door days later- calm, familiar, already knowing your story.

That’s why I’ve offered this bundled support in the past- and am offering it now again.

Right now, when you secure both birth & 3 postpartum shifts, you can save up to $500.

Not because you need a “deal”.
But because planning ahead changes everything.

Booking closes March 9th.
If this feels right for you, hit me up and let’s lock it in. Cause you deserve support.

Sometimes birth teaches you something new.

This was the first time I’ve ever seen someone put on a sleep mask mid-contraction… and honestly?
 It was iconic.

No dramatic intention. No elaborate birth plan strategy.
Just, “I don’t want to see anyone’s face right now.”

And it worked.

She later told me she loved it because she couldn’t read anyone’s expressions.
 No raised eyebrows. No “is that normal?” looks. No accidental micro-reactions from well-meaning partners or nurses.

Just her. Her body. Her contractions. Her rhythm.

And here’s the thing — when you’re in labor, your brain is wildly sensitive to social cues.

One tiny facial expression can spiral into: “Is something wrong?” “Did I do something?” “Why did they look like that?”

Remove the visual input… and suddenly there’s nothing to interpret.

It was unintentional genius.

Birth goggles. Do Not Disturb mode. Nervous system protected.

I may have just witnessed the next low-intervention birth trend: ✨ Eye mask energy. ✨

“10/10 would recommend.” She let me know at our postpartum visit.

(And now I kind of want to add “sleep mask optional” to every birth bag list.)

If you’re unsure about placenta encapsulation, I usually tell my clients this:

You don’t have to decide right now.

You don’t have to be 100% convinced.
You don’t have to believe it’s magic.
And you definitely don’t have to do it because someone on the internet said you should.

You just have to decide whether you want the option.

Placenta encapsulation isn’t about hype — it’s about preparation. It’s about honoring that postpartum can be tender, hormonal, and unpredictable. Some women feel steady and strong. Others feel weepy, depleted, or foggy. Most feel a mix of everything.

Encapsulation simply gives you something your body already made — iron-rich, hormone-supportive, uniquely yours — in a form that’s easy to use if you need it.

And if you don’t? That’s okay too.

I’m here to educate, answer your questions, and help you make a grounded decision that feels aligned for you.

If you’re on the fence, let’s talk it through. 💜

Have your placenta in the freezer and are ready to have it encapsulated? DM me!

A year ago I was started the Birth Becomes Her Birth Photography course. I had been taking photos at births for probably 10 years, and had put off investing in a professional camera because I didn’t want to put the time into learning a new thing. Well… I learned a new thing and I am now a Certified Birth Photographer. I’ve been photographing births for 11 months (will be 1 year since my first birth photography next month!) and I’ve learned so much. I’ve grown so much. I’m just so proud of myself for learning something new. Thank you to everyone that let me photograph their births!

You planned for your baby.

Maybe even for years.

Maybe you struggled with infertility.

Maybe you experienced a loss (or multiple).

Maybe you settled down and got your life “baby ready” before becoming pregnant.

And yet….

You still mourn your life before this baby you wanted so badly.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Give yourself grace.

If you felt grief or mourned your pre-baby life please either leave a “💙” And/or some words of encouragement so others who are currently experincing this can read.

When we have community, an optimal environment for healing begins.

Working with Katie was one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made!

Pregnancy and the thought of birth felt daunting and full of anxiety after years of losses and fertility treatments. Katie listened to my anxieties and met me with validation and encouragement throughout my pregnancy.

She was an amazing advocate and resource during some late pregnancy blood pressure complications. Knowing we could call her and work through things and create a plan gave us such a sense of comfort and security.

Katie was just absolutely incredible during my labor, birth, and immediate postpartum. I had an unexpectedly fast birth without the typical contraction progression.

Katie held my hand, gave me water and cool washcloths, offered encouragement through very intense contractions, AND took amazing photos. Her calm energy is truly impressive and really made such a difference.

Because of Katie I was able to have the birth I hoped for while feeling supported, safe, and cared for. I’m forever grateful for how she helped shape this experience and would hire her a thousand more times!

“At least it was fast.”
“You’re so lucky!”

These are words many people hear after a swift birth—especially with a first baby. And while they’re often meant kindly, they can feel super invalidating.

Fast labor doesn’t always mean easy labor.

When birth unfolds quickly, the intensity can be overwhelming. The body is moving fast, but the brain often hasn’t had time to catch up. There’s little space to gradually acclimate, to find rhythm, to integrate what’s happening. Contractions stack. Sensations escalate rapidly. The nervous system can feel flooded rather than supported.

For a first-time birthing person, this can be especially challenging. There’s no prior roadmap—no familiar reference point—just sudden, powerful waves and a body doing something entirely new at full speed. You’re basically riding a rollercoaster while still trying to get yourself strapped in.

Swift births can leave people feeling shaken, disoriented, or even questioning themselves afterward:
“Why was that so hard if it was fast?”
“Why do I feel guilty for feeling like that sucked ?”

You can be thankful for a healthy outcome and still need space to process a birth that felt intense, consuming, or out of control.

Every birth deserves to be honored in its full truth—not ranked by length, not labeled by outsiders, and not minimized by well-meaning comments.

If your birth was fast and felt hard, your experience is valid. You’re not ungrateful. You’re human.

And you deserve support—in birth and in the postpartum processing that follows.
