✨ Exciting News! ✨

After years of teaching private childbirth education courses to my clients, I’m now offering this class to the community. What does this mean? You do NOT have to be my client in order to enroll in my 2-day, in-person Childbirth Education Course right here in the Palm Beach area.

👶🏽 Are you an expectant parent who is at least 32 weeks pregnant? This course is for you and your support partner!

Our class is designed to prepare, empower, and build confidence as you approach one of life’s most transformative experiences, giving birth. Whether you’re planning to give birth in a hospital, a birth center, or at home, this class supports you. We offer evidence-based education in a welcoming space that’s written and design by a midwife who supports birth.

Teaching expectant parents about birth has always been a passion of mine simply because everyone deserves to walk into their birth feeling prepared and empowered, not confused, overwhelmed or left with a “WTH was that” experience.

It truly breaks my heart to hear birth stories where people say:
❌ “I don’t know why that was the outcome.”
❌ “I wasn’t sure what was happening to my body—only that it was painful.”
❌ “I wasn’t sure how to advocate for myself.”
❌ “I didn’t understand the labor process or what certain key words meant.

🗓️ If you’re at least 32 weeks pregnant (I recommend not taking it too early so the info stays fresh), head to www.mymidwifetia.com and click the “Next Steps” tab to sign up! You can find more details about the course under our list of services.
⏳ Not 32 weeks yet? No worries—this course will be offered monthly!

When you understand what to expect, you can navigate your birth experience with more confidence and clarity.

Guess who’s back! 🤎🥰
Hey, y’all hey! Honestly and truly I don’t have any other reason for my absence, aside from- I needed the reset and break. I’ve popped in occasionally over the last year to check on you guys though 😉 & if you follow my personal account, you’ve seen me there.

Me? I’m doing well! Resets and rest are vital. I’ve been working, I just haven’t posted anything social media. Mainly I’ve been taking time to prioritize myself. Why is that so hard to do? Maybe not for some but it was definitely a lovely adjustment. Some cool things are happening that I’ll announce soon, so look out for that.

Thank you all for checking on me. I know you guys miss this content but more importantly, I miss educating!

Let’s use this opportunity to catch up b/c I’ve missed you all. Drop down below and share some good news! Lmk what you’ve been up to. Any new babies? Engagements? Weddings? New jobs? Relationships or friendships ended for the better? How are the kids? School? Talk to me! ☺️

A beautiful birth story. ✨🤎

Birth is intense, yes, but the reward that comes from tapping into unknown strength to birth your baby is worth it & always so beautiful to witness.

Empowered. Family centered. Well informed.
Welcome Earthside little one.

Repost from photographer .bridgewater:

Third babies are such a wildcard. They are either fast and furious with no warning signs or they take their time to make their decent. With nearly a week of prodromal labor, this mother began to feel anxious which she thinks further prevented active labor from beginning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She and her doula had a long talk about getting out of her head, overthinking, and over analyzing. The next morning around 3 AM, the waves came fast. Their surprise-sex baby made their debut around 7 AM.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Birth is as mentally challenging as it is physical, if not more. If you are a parent of multiple children, how did your births differ from your first?

I saw a post the other day that said, “We often focus so much on the future that sometimes we forget we’re right in the middle of what we prayed for.”

While this is only the beginning, man am I grateful for this journey, the people who have poured in to me & where I’m headed.

I see SO much more in the future.
I see an abundance of families I’m able to assist.
I see more classes I’m able to offer.
I see my dream office then birth center that currently live in my head.
I see the work that I’m doing being a blessing to those who need it.

Shoutout to all the other birth workers who do this work & those who are coming behind me. I understand first hand the challenges, burn out & obstacles. I see us constantly pushing through because we know how vital this care is to the community.

But at THIS moment, I want to focus solely on gratitude. ✨

The first latch. 🤍🥰

A few signs of a good latch are as follows:

The latch is comfortable and pain free.
Your baby's chest and stomach rest against your body.
Your baby's chin touches your breast.
Your baby's mouth opens wide around your breast, not just the ni**le.
Your baby's lips turn out.
Your baby's tongue cups under your breast.
You hear or see swallowing.

The first trimester is a cross between being excited about being pregnant (for some) mixed with hating feeling sick due to the hormonal dance that occurs as your body prepares to grow your baby. ✨

This trimester can also bring on a lot of emotions for those who battled with previous pregnancy loss.

Wherever you are in this trimester, I thought it would be a great idea to list them and share with those who are planning a future pregnancy and wondering what to expect.

It’s important to stay hydrated and increase your protein intake. There’s a slew of nausea remedies out there but I recommend frequent small meals and having something in your mouth before getting out of bed. That can look like a handful go nuts or even a peppermint.

Where are the pregnant mamas making their way through the 1st trimester? How are you guys feeling? Did you experience any of these symptoms? Anything else you experienced or is there anything you’re looking forward to?
Let’s chat below. 💜

Goddess energy from this beautiful mama & her littles. 💫👑🤎

Happy Friday.

I’m hoping you guys are able to do something for yourselves over the weekend.

Drop down in the comments & let me know what that looks like. It could be dressing yourself (& your bump) up for a date night with your partner, cuddling on the couch, playing with your littles, a nice bath/shower, prepping for your birth, taking beautiful maternity photos or doing absolutely nothing (my favorite).

Whatever it may be, enjoy. ✨
