Passionate about creating empowering and nurturing birth experiences, I'm here to support YOU!

07/21/2025

“You are enough.”
That phrase shows up everywhere — on mugs, on shirts, in well-meaning encouragements.
And for a while, I tried to believe it.

But here’s the truth that’s set me free:
I am not enough.
Not without Jesus.

I can’t be peaceful enough, present enough, prepared enough — not in birth, not in motherhood, not in life.
And the good news?
I don’t have to be.

Jesus is enough for me.
He fills every gap. Carries what I can’t. And reminds me that being human — even weak — isn’t a flaw, it’s a cue to lean on Him.

So if you’ve been striving to “be enough”…
You can rest now.
You’re held by the One who always is. 🤍

✨ birth prep, but holy ✨

I wasn’t planning to launch anything new this year…
But God kept whispering.
The ideas kept flowing.
And suddenly I was curled under a blanket, scribbling notes about hydration, breathwork, and Biblical peace in labor.

This post? Honestly, it’s me putting a little fire under myself.
Because something sacred is coming—and saying it out loud means I can’t back out now. 😅

It’s for the mama who wants to birth with strength and surrender.
Who’s prepping her body, but also her spirit.
Who wants tools that work and truth that holds.

You’re not just preparing for labor.
You’re preparing to partner with God in something eternal.

Stay close.
is on its way. 💛

Yes, I’ll bring you coffee.
I’ll squeeze your hips.
I’ll guide you through contractions and rub your back through transition.
That’s what doulas do, right?

But that’s not the whole story.

Because I’m not just here for the physical support —
I’m here to remind you what’s true when everything feels shaky.
To pray over the sacred space where your baby is being born.
To help your partner step into their role with confidence, not confusion.
To speak peace into the places fear tries to sneak in.

Your birth doesn’t have to be perfect.
But it can be supported — body, mind, and spirit.

If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to walk with you 🤍

Not everything you’re walking through right now is easy.
But none of it is wasted.

Pregnancy and birth will stretch you—physically, emotionally, spiritually.
And while God may not have caused the hardship, He’s not afraid to meet you right in the middle of it.

He’s not testing you to see how strong you are.
He’s reminding you of the strength He already gave you—when He gave you Himself.

Let this be your gentle reminder:
You don’t have to carry this season alone.
You can be supported and surrendered.

🕊️ Romans 8:18 has been echoing in my spirit this week, and I hope it meets you in yours too.

🤍 If you’re craving calm, Christ-centered birth support, my DMs are open.

Hey👋🏻 it’s been a while since I’ve been active here — so here’s a little life update!

I’ve spent the last year raising babies, supporting mamas, and praying about how to show up here in a way that actually serves.

And something’s been stirring in me…

I’m building a new kind of support for Christian moms who want encouragement, birth prep, and honest answers — all from someone who’s been there.

More soon. For now — tell me, what season are you in?
Are you pregnant? Postpartum? Hoping to be? 💛

- Nutrient-Rich Source

- Customized Approach

If you are expecting and are interested in the benefits of consuming your placenta postpartum, DM me to discuss if placenta encapsulation might be the right move for you!

Mamas- did you consume your placenta? Did you have it encapsulated or are you so hardcore you prepared it yourself? What was your experience?

It is Cesarean Awareness Month, so let's chat options-

When a c-section is medically necessary, you don't have to give up all hopes for a peaceful and empowering birth. Depending on your provider and circumstance, you may be able to opt for a gentle cesarean:

Gentle cesareans are a compassionate approach to birth that prioritizes respect, connection, and empowerment. While traditional cesareans can feel clinical and impersonal, gentle cesareans invite warmth, dignity, and active participation from both parents. Here's how you can create a gentle cesarean experience :

Request Clear Drapes
Ask your healthcare provider for a clear surgical drape or lowered drape so you can witness the birth of your baby. This small adjustment allows you to be an active participant in the momentous occasion.

Incorporate Delayed Cord Clamping
Advocate for delayed cord clamping to allow for optimal transfer of blood and nutrients from the placenta to your baby. This practice supports newborn health and vitality.

Embrace a Calm Environment
Discuss with your provider the option of setting the tone with soothing music and dim lighting. Creating a peaceful environment enhances relaxation and fosters a sense of peace during the birthing process.

Capture Precious Moments
Consider enlisting a photographer to document the birth. These images serve as cherished mementos of the beautiful journey you shared with your baby. Even if hospital policy won’t allow for extra personnel, consider handing your phone to a nurse or your partner to capture these precious moments.

Discuss Birth Preferences
Have an open dialogue with your healthcare team about your desires for a gentle cesarean. Share your preferences for a calm and respectful birthing environment, and ensure that your wishes are honored.

Gentle cesareans honor the sacredness of birth and empower parents to play an active role in their baby's arrival. By advocating for gentle birthing practices and communicating your preferences with your healthcare team, you can create a transformative birthing experience filled with love, respect, and joy.✨

🤰 Myth Busting Monday: Debunking the Due Date Dilemma! 📅

Ever heard that due dates are set in stone? Let's unravel this myth! 🚫🗓️ Only about 5% of babies arrive precisely on their due dates. Why?

✨ Evidence suggests that due dates are calculated based on a 28-day menstrual cycle, but not everyone fits this mold. Factors like cycle length, conception date, and individual variations impact the accuracy.

👉 Advocacy Tip: If your provider suggests induction based solely on the due date, feel empowered to discuss alternatives. Share this evidence-based information and inquire about the specific reasons behind the recommendation. Discuss the risks and benefits, and don't hesitate to seek a second opinion if needed. Your voice matters in your birthing journey! ☀️💪

Let's celebrate the diversity of birth experiences! 🎉✨ Share your thoughts and experiences below! 💬
