We are so thrilled to welcome Sydney to our doula team!🤍Her heart for postpartum care, her lived experience as a military spouse and mom of three, and her deeply empathetic approach make her an incredible gift to the families we serve. We’ll let her introduce herself in her own words below and we know you’ll love her as much as we do.🤗👇

“Hi, I’m Sydney 💛
As a postpartum doula, military spouse, and mom of three, I understand how demanding this season can be—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My own postpartum journeys taught me just how deeply new moms need to be seen, supported, and gently held during this time.

My role is to come alongside you—with care that’s calm, judgment-free, and truly personalized. Whether you need rest, reassurance, or just someone to say “you’re doing great”, I’m here to support both you and your growing family.

✨ Serving families in Eastern North Carolina
🤍 Support rooted in empathy, presence, and care

You were never meant to do this alone.”

Show Sydney some love in the comments 🥰and help us give her the warmest welcome! ✨

You’re not doing anything wrong.🤎
If you’re wondering when your milk will “come in,”
if you’re second-guessing what your body is doing,
if you’re feeling unsure…you’re not alone.

Here’s what often doesn’t get said enough:
Your milk is already there.

It may start small, it may not look like what you expected, but your body is making exactly what your baby needs.

Breastmilk changes in stages gradually, beautifully,
and with purpose. Sometimes, the process looks different for every parent and every baby.

If things feel confusing or off, it’s okay to ask for help.
That’s not failure, it’s wisdom. It’s love.
And it’s part of showing up fully for your baby.

Trust yourself to know when to reach out.
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are doing something powerful…
one feed at a time.🤱🏽

Some days in pregnancy feel like too much.
Not because you’re doing anything wrong
but because your body is doing everything at once.

You’re growing a baby.
Your organs are shifting.
Your brain is rewiring.
Your nervous system is on full-time duty, scanning for anything that might feel unsafe or overwhelming even if it’s just a cluttered kitchen or one more decision.

And that same nervous system?
It’s shaping your baby’s too!✨

Not in a “you better calm down” kind of way but
in a quiet, biological way, where your baby is slowly learning…
This is what it feels like to be held.
This is what it feels like to come back to center.

That’s the incredible thing, you don’t have to do anything extra. Just noticing the moments when your body is asking for pause…

That’s enough.

Whether it’s sitting down instead of pushing through,
letting the noise wait five more minutes, or just remembering: “This isn’t just hard, it’s a lot.”

That’s not weakness, it’s awareness.🤍

Birth asks a lot of you — physically, emotionally, and mentally.

There’s no single way to be strong in birth. Strength looks different for every person, every body, and every story.

Every decision you make during labor deserves to be honored because it’s made with wisdom, love, and courage.

Whether you choose an epidural or other medical pain management options, birth without medication, or change your mind along the way —
the strength is in making the decisions that honor you.

At Daybreak, we support every path to meeting your baby:
〰️birthing with medical pain management
〰️birthing without medication
〰️when the plan shifts mid-labor
〰️where you listen to yourself

Real empowerment isn’t about following one way, it’s about having the freedom to make the decisions that feel right for you.

You deserve a birth team that trusts you, uplifts you, and walks beside you no matter how your story unfolds.

We need to let go of the idea that there’s a “right” way to give birth.

Whether it’s an unmedicated home birth, an emergency C-section, or anything in between—you didn’t fail. You adapted. You made the best call you could with what you knew, what your body was doing, and what your baby needed.

The language we use matters. Let’s stop saying we “failed” to progress or “failed” at breastfeeding. You didn’t fail—you navigated something intense and unpredictable with courage.

Birth isn’t a test to pass.
It’s a transformation.
And every version of it is worthy of celebration🤍

So much of our work comes down to intuition.

It’s not always about what’s said or done, it’s about what’s felt.

As doulas, we’ve learned to trust those quiet nudges:
To speak when a pause feels too heavy.
To stay silent when strength is rising.
To adjust the lights, offer a sip of water, or simply be still through the waves.

In postpartum, it’s the same.
We notice the shifts. The sighs. The ‘I’m fine’ that really means, ‘I’m not sure how to ask for help.’
We show up with care that doesn’t need to be earned, and presence that asks for nothing in return.

And through it all, we trust your intuition, too.
Your body knows. Your heart knows.
You don’t need fixing…you need space to feel that knowing again.
We’re just here to help you hear it.🤍

Let’s be real—postpartum is no joke. The exhaustion, the emotional ups and downs, the recovery… it’s a lot. But what if there was something natural, already made by your body, and designed to help you heal?

✨That’s where placenta encapsulation comes in✨

▫️Feeling drained? Your placenta is packed with iron to help fight fatigue.
▫️Mood all over the place? It contains hormones that may help support emotional balance.
▫️Worried about milk supply? Many moms report an increase in production.
▫️Want a smoother recovery? The nutrients and stem cells in your placenta can support healing.

And before you think, “Wait… isn’t that kinda weird?”—hear us out:
✔️ It’s NOT gross – The capsules look and feel like any other supplement—no taste, no smell, just benefits.
✔️ It’s 100% safe & clean – Your placenta never leaves your home, and we follow strict safety protocols.
✔️ It’s backed by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) – We gently steam, dehydrate, and encapsulate your placenta to maximize its restorative properties.

With our process, you’ll receive:
💊 75-125 capsules (or more depending on the size of your placenta) – easy to take, packed with benefits
🌿 A Tincture – for long-term hormonal support
🖤 A Cord Keepsake – a beautiful reminder of this journey & your connection to your baby!
🧼✨+ a sparkling clean kitchen two days in a row😉

We know this might be out of your comfort zone, and that’s okay! But if you’re looking for a way to feel more like yourself, recover faster, and actually enjoy postpartum, this might just be what you need.

Still unsure? We’re happy to answer any questions—DM us or drop them below!🤍

This Valentine’s Day, we’re honoring the love that flows through every part of your birth journey.✨

Oxytocin, the ‘love hormone,’ is fueled by the bond between you and your partner, the love you have for yourself, the deep connection with your baby among so many other things! As you move through labor, oxytocin guides your body, creating each wave with purpose, while also deepening trust and strengthening your emotional connection.

It’s the love that powers your strength, your courage, and the incredible transformation of bringing new life into the world. As your doulas, we are so honored to guide you as you tap into the love and strength that will carry you through this sacred moment. 💕

Hi! Meag here👋! I wanted to share a little about my own journey into doula work—Looking back, I’ve realized I was a doula long before I even knew what that was.🤍

This photo (next slide⏭️) of my Papa, Grandma, & my baby brother might make you think I was helping care for baby, but it was actually my Papa who was my very best friend that taught me the true meaning of care.

At just 5 years old, I was helping my Grandma change his dressings and ensure he was comfortable as he battled colon cancer. Even in the hospital, I begged the nurses to make the lights “happier” (our local paper even wrote about it!😅).

My parents thought I’d be a nurse one day, but after his passing, I developed a fear of hospitals. Instead, I found myself drawn to service opportunities through my faith. This led me into education, where I loved seeing students feel confident & accomplish what they thought they couldn’t. Later, I moved into the financial world, supporting families through tough times and helping elderly members manage their finances—all while visiting and caring for my Grandma during her final days.

It wasn’t until I was pregnant with my daughter that I realized I didn’t want to fear hospitals anymore. Thanks to my incredible doula, Taryn (thank you😆), my husband and I felt so supported and cared for as we transitioned into parenthood. That’s when it clicked—I wanted to help others feel that same sense of support and calm during life’s biggest & challenging moments!

Whether it was offering comfort, providing support, or simply being a calming presence for others in my life, I had been living out the essence of a doula long before I even knew what the role truly meant. If you’ve ever felt drawn to support others through their life-changing moments, trust me—this work is likely already in your heart. It wasn’t a new calling for me; it was something that had always been there, guiding me through every chapter.

If you’ve ever thought about becoming a doula, know that your journey may have already begun without you even realizing it. This is exactly what I was meant to do, and I know it can be for you too!🤍
