Accurate 💯🤣

Nobody prepares you for this part of motherhood.

The leaking.
The unevenness.
The favorite side.
The being touched out but still showing up.

Breastfeeding b***s go through eras.
And every single one of them is normal.

Your body is not failing.
It is adapting.
Providing.
Sustaining life 🤱

If you’ve lived at least ONE of these phases, you’re not alone.
Drop a 🤍 and tell me which one you’re in right now 👇

PSA 🩷

It’s not “just” giving birth 🩷

It’s becoming someone new, while grieving the person you were.

It’s living in a body that feels unfamiliar.
It’s carrying the invisible weight of restoration, while being expected to function, smile, perform.

You’re not weak. You’re not slow. You’re not broken.

You’re healing in ways the world forgets to see.

Pass this message on, everyone needs a reminder…

I will never stop sharing this article. It's so on-point: The Zwischen — DOULA

What is The Zwischen? The last few days and weeks of pregnancy as you wait for your baby to be born are not easy, but take heart. This special time is doing so much while you do so little!

Big love for our doula team 🤍

Our doulas recently decided to shift into a partnered model, which means clients now get two doulas for the price of one. More support, more continuity, more hands and hearts in your corner.

If you’re curious what that looks like or want more details, shoot me a message or an email at info@btownbirth.com— happy to share 💫

Recently I’ve been reflecting on how “Christmas break” isn’t always much of a break at all. Between the holidays, parenting, travel, extra spending, disrupted routines, and all the emotional layers… it can leave a lot of us feeling pretty depleted as we head into the new year.

That’s why I’m so grateful that Ashke is offering a community Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) session on Sunday 02/01 at 10:45am.

TRE is a gentle, body-based practice that helps your nervous system release stored stress and tension — without having to talk it all out. It can support:

• feeling more grounded and regulated
• better sleep and digestion
• reduced anxiety and chronic tension
• a calmer, more resilient start to the year

If your body is craving a reset as we move into this next season, this is a really supportive way to begin.

✨ Small group • Sliding scale • Limited spots

Little details matter ✨

I’m always thinking about how to create the most positive, comfortable experience possible for my clients. When I saw another therapist offering nasal breathing strips for clients who are prone, I immediately thought, that is brilliant—so now they’re here for you.
You’ll also find individual body refreshing wipes and hair ties available, because sometimes it’s the small things that make it easier to fully relax and settle in. 💆‍♀️

If there’s ever something that would make your session feel even better, I’m always open to suggestions. My goal is to have all your bases covered so you can focus on resting, breathing, and receiving. 💙

Last close of the year ✨
Thankful for every family and every practitioner who filled this space with care and trust in 2025.
Always grateful to do this work, and deeply aware of the privilege it is.
Ready for what’s next. 💫

Sometimes your massage therapist (hi, it’s me 👋🏼) will lovingly kick you off the table and onto hands-and-knees so I can gently shimmy your baby into a better spot. Not the most conventional moment in a session… but after 10+ years of perinatal bodywork, I know what actually works.

I don’t stress about breech or transverse babies. They move when there’s space. And massage can create that space — softening tension, balancing the pelvis, easing the uterine ligaments, and giving baby the opportunity to naturally rotate into a position that’s more comfortable for both of you.

Did you know prenatal massage can even support more optimal birth outcomes? Wild (and wonderful), right?

I’m usually booked out months ahead, but if you or someone you know is trying to encourage baby into a better position for an upcoming version, induction, or birth, text me directly. I’ll always try my best to squeeze you in if I can.

I love this work so much. 💛
