🌸 Embracing the Miracle of Life 🌸

Words can hardly capture the incredible strength and beauty that unfolded when this mama brought her precious bundle of joy earth side. 🌟 With unwavering determination and a heart full of courage, she embarked on a journey of natural birth that showcased the true power of a woman's body.

Through each surge of intensity, she connected with her inner warrior, breathing in strength and exhaling doubt. The room was filled with an aura of empowerment and love as she surrendered to the rhythm of labor, embracing the ebb and flow of this sacred dance.

Witnessing her journey was a testament to the awe-inspiring capabilities of the human body. Every contraction brought her closer to the miracle she had nurtured within for 41 weeks. 🌈 And then, in a symphony of grace and resilience, she welcomed her baby into the world, surrounded by an atmosphere of pure love and support.

Mama, you've shown us all the profound beauty that comes from trusting in the wisdom of your body and the magic of nature. Your journey reminds us that strength is not just physical, but a deep, unbreakable force that resides within us all. 🌿 We stand in awe of your achievement and are inspired by your courage.

Here's to you, mama, and to the boundless love that brought your little one into your arms. 🌟 May this new chapter be filled with endless joy, laughter, and the sweetest moments that parenthood has to offer. 🌷

Congratulations to Jessica and Mason on this little squish! He gave his mama lots of twists and turns to make his entrance a good one. 42 hours of labor and every obstacle thrown her way, she moved with such grace and confidence with every decision she made to bring her baby earth side. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else but beside them to support and empower this family through this birth. I am such a proud doula 💜

The “bounce back” culture serves no place in 2023.

How does one bounce back from a life changing event, physically, spiritually, and emotionally?

The bounce back culture is denying women the opportunity to embrace and explore the new experiences that their bodies have transformed into.

This culture puts the pressure on looking, acting, or feeling like there is something wrong with us, when the reality is that, this is normal. This is postpartum. This is embracing the changes and leaning into our autonomy. This is beautiful.

if you’re in birth work, you can relate 😂 my phone is always on loud. What other doulas can relate?!

What position is your baby in? Fetal positioning makes a big difference in the type of birth you end up having. There are lots of things you can do during pregnancy and in birth to encourage a smooth birth process! Check out the spinning babies website and hire a doula with spinning babies training! ❤️‍🔥

Hi everyone 👋🏻 I thought it would be time to introduce myself! I am the face behind Lavender and Labor. I’ve been a birth doula for a year and a half, I am a midwife student at Midwives college of Utah and I am a placenta encapsulator! About a week ago I had the opportunity to obtain my NRP and CPR certification at the Naples Family Birth Center with some really great people in my birth community. I am also a birth assistant and doula at the Naples Family Birth Center and enjoy supporting women through pregnancy and labor 🫶🏻 When I’m not at births you can typically find me at a local spin class or at my favorite juice shop studying! I love serving every family here in SWFL!
