✨ Something new + special to share…

I’ve started creating placenta prints! 🌸 Have you heard of them before? Maybe you even have one hanging in your home?

I first came across placenta prints years ago and was instantly intrigued. Finally giving it a try has been such a mindful, beautiful process—and I’m completely in love.

They say the placenta mirrors the tree of life… can you see it? 🌳

If you’d love to have this keepsake after the birth of your little one, send me a DM 💌

✨ The Journey Isn’t Over When Baby Arrives ✨
Some people think birth ends when the baby is born… but there’s one last stage: the birth of the placenta 💖

After your little one takes their first breath, your body gently works to release the organ that kept them nourished for months. This is called the third stage of labour, and it usually happens within 5–30 minutes.

As your doula, I’m there for this stage too — making sure you’re comfortable, supported, and savouring those first moments of skin-to-skin while your body completes its work.

🌿 Birth is a series of transitions, and each stage matters. And I’ll be there. Each step of the way.

Did you use hydrotherapy at all during your labour? 💧

The benefits are endless….

Pain relief, relaxation, empowerment, smoother transition and increased mobility. It’s been said it can also help to lead to shorter labours, reduced need for pain medication, and an overall more enjoyable birthing experience. Some studies even suggest it can decrease the risk of episiotomy and perineal tears. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’ve supported many births where the birthing people have utilized this comfort measure and it really is such a beautiful option for labour.

💫 Story time 💫

8 years ago I decided to take a leap and complete my 200 hour Yoga Teaching certification. The classes were held in Beth Rutty’s beautiful studio. (pictured above) While learning about all things yoga I was briefly introduced to Prenatal Yoga. I was instantly hooked! It was love at first learn. I went on to complete my 80 hour Prenatal Yoga teaching certification provided by Shannon Crow. (This was also offered in Beth’s studio)
I was and am so blessed to have learned from these teachers and continue to learn from their offerings.

When I look back I remember feeling nervous, scared, unsure and wearisome about the things to come. Constant thoughts that I would never accomplish anything from what I had learned. (Self doubt showing up at it’s finest)

And here we are…that once naive young yogi now teaching her 20th Prenatal Yoga series and loving every minute of it. A full circle moment. 😌🙏🏼

Feeling grateful. 💛
