This is a wonderful read!!

Some how, some where, new mothers got the message that the gap between when a baby stops a breastfeed and the time they start to need another one matters a very very great deal. 24 hours a day. It...

Our bodies are ridiculously amazing. Makes me want to scream, "I am w.o.m.a.n. Hear me ROAR!!" 😍

To produce breast milk, mothers melt their own body fat. Are you with me? We literally dissolve parts of ourselves, starting with gluteal-femoral fat, aka our butts, and turn it into liquid to feed our babies. Before and after giving birth to my daughter 10 months ago, I was inundated with urgent di…

It's raining babies! First time in 7 years that I've had two mamas in labor at the same time. Called my normal backup Tara Lussier and SHE has TWO babies in labor as well. Thanking God for Tara Voigt (the fabulous doula who helped me with my firstborn) as she saved the day (all while having a client maybe beginning labor). Finishing up one birth and heading to another. This job is intense, unpredictable and I love it! 💚💖💜

This is really great! Lets hope parents feel comfortable putting the needs of their families in front of work in their child's first year of life. It's unlimited leave, for a full year, if needed.... paid. Remarkable! Go Netflix!

A few hours after hitting its all-time stock price high today, Netflix has announced a new program for all employees. In a blog post, Netflix outlined its..

We must love our bodies for the work they do. Before, during and AFTER pregnancy! Love this!

When New Zealand mom and nutritionist Julie Bhosale shared a blog post about her postpartum body image journey, she hoped that it would reach a few fellow mothers in her local community. What she did not

If you're having a boy, consider keeping him intact.

What many Americans are not aware of, however, is the fact that the United States is not just unusual, but actually unique among developed nations in finding such widespread medical support for infant male circumcision.

Today, darn it. In THIS moment.

You know, I'm talking about when you pick up the phone for two seconds to call your boss or a when you answer that return call from the doctors that you've been waiting on.  Or when a client calls you and you answer, pretending your life is calm and composed when in real life all mayhem has just let…

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there.  Of course I'm late.  That's what it seems we do best- delay things we should do cause we're caring for our little ones. ;)  I'm grateful to have shared in many first days of motherhood and count it a blessing to be on this journey with you all.

I'm pretty pumped.  I've been a doula for over 6 years and haven't ever really felt comfortable with my website.  The layout... the logo... how I wanted an the ability for clients to login... Anyways- that's all changed now. :) It was time to give the site a fresh, clean look. I'm feeling grateful a…

It's raining babies! Quick birth... On the floor.. In the hospital bathroom. Mom rocked it beautifully and delivered her baby quickly with just her hubby there (I was fishing for the camera, lol!!) Everyone's great! Lots of babies are celebrating world doula week! 😁

It's true! This is a great article!

My husband is a deal-hunting guru - master of the coupon - king of the discount. He receives approximately 1,384 daily emails for deals, coupons, sales, etc. in our area. We were early-adopters on the Groupon/Living Social bandwagon - like so early, it was awkward. So when I, a shiny new doula, inf…

A glimpse into paternity leave in Sweden. I felt lucky that my husband took 2 months each time I had a baby (benefit to a government job!) but not everyone can do that.

Photographer Johan Bävman documents the world of dads and their babies in a country where fathers are encouraged to take a generous amount of paternity leave.
