🌿✨ Tea Time in Pregnancy ✨🌿

There’s something sacred about steeping a warm cup during pregnancy—like a pause in the middle of the whirlwind. 💆🏽‍♀️

My favorite? A dreamy blend of blackberry + hibiscus with rose and raspberry leaf.
🌺🍇🌹 These herbs aren't just delicious—they’re grounding, heart-opening, and gently supportive for the womb.

🍃 Raspberry leaf is known as the “mother’s herb,” toning the uterus and preparing the body for labor.
🌸 Rose adds emotional softness and love to every sip.
💜 Hibiscus and blackberry bring antioxidants and beauty in every pour.

Tea is more than a drink—it’s a moment. A ritual. A reminder to breathe, to connect, to rest.

🌕 What’s in your cup, mama?

✨Ever wonder what it’s like to meet a baby you’ve loved before they were even born? That’s doula life. ✨

Long before their first breath, I’ve spoken their name, heard their heartbeat, held space for their mama’s fears, and celebrated every milestone leading up to their arrival.

Then—boom. They’re here. And I’m a puddle.
Every. Single. Time.

It’s not just about holding the baby. It’s about watching someone become a parent, watching strength unfold right before my eyes.
It’s whispering, “Look at you. You did this.”
And meaning it with every cell in my body.

The postpartum days? Sacred. Tender. Wild. I don’t just disappear—I stay close. I show up. I remind you how incredible you are, even when it’s 3AM and you’re not sure what day it is.

And as for these doula babies?
They stay in my heart forever.
Even the tiny ones with faces so serious they could convince me to buy a timeshare 😆

To the mamas I’ve walked beside—you’re my heroes. 💫
To the babies—I’ll always be cheering you on, quietly from the sidelines.

🌟 The work of a Postpartum Doula is filled with meaningful moments—each day looking a little different.

✅ One day, it might be rocking the baby so mama can finally take a nap.
✅ Another, it's folding tiny clothes, doing dishes, or bringing calm to a messy space.
✅ Sometimes, it's chasing down big sibling and play to help feel seen and included.
✅ Often, it’s supporting baby care—baths, soothing, burping, dressing—and helping establish strong feeding routines, whether breast or bottle.
✅ Many times, it’s tending to mama’s healing body: offering warm meals, cool drinks, easing tension with a gentle touch, and reducing swelling in tired feet.
✅ And on most days, it's holding emotional space—listening without judgment, supporting those big postpartum feelings, and sharing resources when needed.

No two days are the same, but every one is rooted in care, presence, and love. 💛
I cherish walking alongside families in this tender season—supporting the transition, one peaceful moment at a time. ✅

✨ Did You Know? Home birth isn't just a trend—it's an empowered choice for many families. Here are some beautiful facts you might not know:

🏠 1. Comfort = Confidence
Birthing in your own home means you’re surrounded by the familiar. This comfort reduces stress and supports natural labor progression.

🧘‍♀️ 2. Freedom of Movement
No monitors, no restrictions—you can labor how you want: walking, swaying, in water, or snuggled in bed.

👩🏾‍⚕️ 3. Personalized Care
Midwives who attend home births often spend more time getting to know you, honoring your birth plan, and supporting your vision.

👶 4. Lower Intervention Rates
Home births have significantly lower rates of medical interventions like epidurals and C-sections for low-risk pregnancies.

💖 5. Family-Centered Experience
Siblings, partners, even pets (yep!) can be present—making the birth a family-centered event full of love and support.

🌿 6. Immediate Skin-to-Skin & Bonding

🔔No interruptions—just pure, uninterrupted bonding time with your baby from the very first breath.

🎤 Have you ever considered a home birth?

Planning your birth isn’t about creating a perfect script—it’s about setting intentions, building confidence, and surrounding yourself with support that truly sees and hears you. 💛

Your birth plan is a gentle guide, a love letter to yourself and your baby that says: “I matter. My voice matters. My experience matters.” It’s a way to communicate your preferences, prepare your mind and body, and ensure your birth team understands how to best care for you in one of life’s most sacred moments. 🌿

Whether you want a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between—your choices deserve to be honored. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to support you as you explore your options, process your fears, and craft a plan that reflects your values, your culture, and your hopes.

Prodromal Labor—What It Really Is & Why It Matters

Let’s clear up the confusion:
Prodromal labor isn’t “false labor.” It’s early labor that’s just not active yet. Your body is doing the work, even if it doesn’t feel like things are moving fast.

✨ What’s happening during prodromal labor?

Your uterus is practicing with real contractions

Baby is shifting into an ideal position

Your cervix may be softening, thinning, or slightly dilating

💡 What it feels like:

Contractions that are timeable but don’t increase in intensity or get closer together

Sensations in your lower back, pelvis, or thighs

May stop and return—especially at night

🧘🏽‍♀️ How to support yourself:

Rest when you can (don’t burn out early)

Hydrate and nourish your body

Use comfort tools—like warm baths, hip squeezes, or breathing techniques

Don’t time every contraction all day long—it can add stress

This stage is valid. This work is necessary. This is labor.
Even if it doesn’t look like the movies. 💛

Hiring a doula? Maybe you're still on fence. Let’s talk about why those Doula prenatal visits are pure gold (and not just another appointment to squeeze in).

Sure, you could show up to birth like it's a pop quiz…
But wouldn’t you rather feel like you studied with the birth coach, brought snacks, and maybe even knew the answers ahead of time? 😅💪

Here’s why prenatal meetings with your doula matter:

🔑 Preparation is everything – We go over your preferences, fears, questions, and birth plan, so you’re not winging it in the heat of the moment.
📚 Knowledge is power – We break down what’s happening with your body and how you can work with it, not against it.
🤝 We get to know each other – Trust is HUGE during birth. You’ll feel more comfortable when I’m by your side if we’ve already connected over tea (or snacks).
🧘🏽‍♀️ Physical prep & comfort measures – Practice positions, breathing, massage, and touch—your own personal labor toolkit.
🌸 Birth is sacred – Whether you’re planning a hospital birth or a home birth, your experience deserves intention and reverence.
💞 Benefits of having a doula? Lower C-section rates, less need for pain medication, and higher birth satisfaction, to name a few.

Think of our prenatal meetings as your birth rehearsal, pep talk, support circle, and crash course in “OMG I can actually do this!”—all rolled into one.

You don’t have to go into labor alone or unsure. I’ve got you. 💛
