✨Sharnika & Jake✨
“When a woman is given the space to birth her way, she learns that she is strong and powerful.
She learns to trust herself, even in the face of powerful authority figures.
Once she realizes her own strength and power, she will have a different attitude for the rest of her life, about pain, illness, disease, fatigue, and difficult situations.”
–Polly Perez
Sharns knew from day dot what she needed and wanted for her second baby. This baby needed a lot more womb time than her first, however Sharns and Jake instinctively knew that everything was ok, and that she would come when she was ready.
Just shy of 42 weeks, baby Zoaa calmly entered the world at home in water surrounded by her loved ones and support team.
Sharns and Jake have taken to their second postpartum with ease, tuning into their baby instead of tracking the mls/time/numbers. It’s quite freeing when you can just “be with babe”.
Sharns and Jake, you have done it your way, and it was so beautiful to watch you achieve your goals. Zoaa is absolute perfection, well done!
Thank you so much for trusting in me and choosing me to be your midwife. It’s been so much fun 🥰
