You know when you see a ballerina, how you are a bit swept away by the grace? But when you look close, you notice the chiseled outline of muscle which undoubtedly means they have deep grit and discipline. How their toes are callused and blistered even though they sweep across the floor as if they are floating… that is this mama. She is beauty, she is grace… she is tough as nails.

She was very easy to get to know and fall into friendship. Manages a business, several children, pregnancy and comes in with a smile on her face radiating her warmth. She is a gift.

This being a 7th birth, she knew when she woke, that it was the day she would meet her baby. But what she didn’t know, was that her labor would have this start, stop pattern. She is used to her babies coming quickly and this all day situation was throwing her for a loop. We talked and agreed I would come in a couple of hours for vitals... Then we chatted again and it was decided I would come check on her sooner. I was so grateful she asked for what she needed. Physically, she was great. But emotionally, she needed some reminders of how well she was doing with this different pattern.

She was fairly deep into dilation and we were just waiting on consistent contractions. I could physically see her body release after we chatted for a bit. And all the sudden a contraction came. And another. And another. She created a dark relaxing cave in her bathroom and slipped into her tub. Contractions built and built. Within an hour or so, we set up the birth tub and she stepped in. With in minutes, baby was in her arms. She was so stoic and strong and when baby came, she was BEAMING.

Isaac Kolbe was born September 7, 2025 at 6:35 pm. He weighed 8 # 9oz and stood 21” tall. He is a perfectly sweet little guy and his dad and six siblings are in love!

You are such a graceful, beautiful and strong light! This was a truly memorable birth and I am grateful to be a part of your story. Thank you for letting me be your midwife🤍

Thank you & .birthcorner for helping support this mama🤍

✨Your Nest is turning 4! And there is an announcement✨

Every time this year mark rolls around I am struck with overwhelm. Your Nest continues to be loved so well and supported in ways that I am very grateful for. Thank you, thank you, thank you🤍

In January, this also marks 13 years of supporting birth and I have had the absolute pleasure of witnessing 600 babies being born. It is an honor each and every time.

It is with much gratitude and love, that I am announcing Your Nest will be taking a year long break starting in August 2026 through August 2027 from accepting due dates. As you can imagine this has taken a lot of thought and intention. But if I am going to continue to be a midwife, my heart needs a bit of a break.

If you are planning to be pregnant and due in this timeframe, please know how fortunate you are to live in a community with this many amazing midwives! Feel free to message me for a referral list. Though I assure you, you cannot go wrong with a single midwife in Kootenai County.

I am very excited and grateful for full books through July, and nothing will change with your care for those of you who have already signed on.

Thank you for your understanding. Wishing you all safe and happy holidays🤍

My, oh my, I love you. You are the ultimate example of know better, do better. You work in every area of your life to do right by others, and to continue to grow and evolve as a woman and mother. It is a pleasure to know you and a joy to get to witness you bring your babies earth-side.

Things picked up swiftly when labor came on. And she was cool as a cucumber. Riding each wave through transition like she and contractions were friends. She let them come. Let them be strong, and there was no doubt things were moving right along.

She stepped into the pool and it wasn’t long before the pushing urge came on. Let’s be honest. Nobody loves every part of labor. And the piece that requires the most surrender for this mama is pushing. Though she started off with some reservation, she finished with all power. He was here. He was beautiful and I am so proud of the work of this mama. She is truly amazing🤍

Supported by her incredible husband, they welcomed sweet Beckham David born August 22, 2025 @ 6:44am weighing 8 # 11oz at 22” tall. He is a lovely little man and his big brother is in love🤍

Thank you for taking this walk again with me. I am forever grateful you are in my life🤍

Thank you for the amazing support so grateful for you ladies!

Getting sick at the end of pregnancy is the worst. Going into labor when you’re sick is next level.

I had come to the house for vitals and a check as mama was having contractions through the day that seemed sporadic, but more than braxton hicks. I left saying “often the body shuts labor down when you’re sick, but if it doesn’t… you can do hard things…”

Welp, at 12:30am I was called for labor. And mama really didn’t want this to be the time. Her sister sweetly checked in with her and was a warm presence for support, then slipped upstairs to take care of the older daughter so mama could try to sink into labor.

Her friend was by her side and was such a steady, calm.

Her husband arranged their older daughter with auntie and helped quickly set up the tub.

The lovely .kairos.midwife arrived at 1 am to help assist.

And at 1:40am baby was born.

Just before she started actively pushing I noticed she was clinging to the side of the pool. Still not allowing herself to admit; this is labor. Baby is coming. After a few words, we watched her body shift, become loose, then the pushing urge took over. She was so SO strong. She leaned into the hard and ever so powerfully eased her baby here.

He was a mellow, soft little bean and we were all so happy to meet him.

It took some time for the shock of “what just happened?!?” To wear off. And everyone did well through their healing of the sickness. Then, it was time to fall deeply in love🤍

Mr. Jonathan Jude was born August 5th weighing 7 # 11oz and standing 22” tall. He is a delightfully peaceful little man and helped mama believe, she can do hard things🤍

You are lights in my life and I hope you know the joy you bring. Looking forward to more time together welcoming babies, and hopefully coffee dates in between🤍

I just can believe I missed this story somehow. Especially, because it was so impactful. Mama’s intuition is just so powerful…

Mama called me and I could hear in her voice, she just knew something wasn’t quite right. She had been as patient as she could be for her babe’s arrival and on this morning, she needed to check on her baby.

We headed in for a biophysical ultrasound which confirmed what mama was feeling. Baby was fine, but it would be better if they were born soon.

This mama’s mama had home births, and her first was a home birth so there were some challenges with changing her birth plan so quickly and close to the end, but mama knew what was best for her baby.

The induction started in the afternoon and went through the night. This baby was her test for patience, because anyway he could, he made her wait… aaaand wait. But by morning a regular contraction pattern had started. And from there, things just started to flow. She was incredibly poised and as pushing began, she found her power. Dad shifted into position to catch and baby was born right into his hands.

Mama was elated. What felt like the never ending pregnancy, was finally over. And this little man was so happy, healthy and calm🤍

Sweet baby Toby Elliot was born June 1st, 2025 @ 11:01am weighing 8 # 13oz and standing 21.5” tall.

I hope you always trust your intuition the way you did through this labor. You are incredibly strong and intuitive and it is an absolute delight to be your midwives🤍

This mama has chosen to keep her birth story close her and her partner. It was beautiful, fast and described as empowering 🤍 so grateful to walk with you. Thank you for sliding in quickly and supporting mama and I so well🤍

The sacrifices of a mother never cease to amaze me. When this mama finds out she is pregnant, it’s joy met with instant nausea. And vomiting. And body pain. And uncontrollable emotions. And until her baby is in her arms, this is what life looks like.

So when it was time to look forward to labor, she was ready!

Labor started swiftly. And she managed contractions stoically while we set up quickly. She stepped into the pool, followed her body’s movements, and it wasn’t long before she was pushing. It was beautiful ✨ She eased her baby gently and then the shoulders took a bit of work. Leaning forward on dad, she pushed with all her might. With some maneuvers from me, then LaMonica, baby was here🤍 and with a couple of love breaths, she was breathing, happy and oh so cute and chubby🤍

Pregnancy and birth are always take a village. I am grateful to get to support you through your pregnancy for a 2nd time. You and your husband and your mama sure do this well together ✨

Your sacrifice, and willingness to do all the things to grow a healthy baby, and prepare for labor is truly an honor to walk with. I know this was hard. And it shows me again your unwavering love for your babies. You are tough as nails and sure do make some special humans. Love you big🤍

Miss Sylvie Marie was born July 29th @ 6:32am weighing 9 # 5oz and standing 22” tall. She is a little love and I can’t wait to to watch her grow and play with her sissy🤍

It was a good idea to take a break for the summer and pause on precepting for a bit. Now with fresh teaching eyes I am so excited to introduce our newest part time student! It was just meant to be the way we kept touching base and eventually Emily asked, “would you ever take me as a student?” It just felt so right to say… “Yes!” She is a dynamite lady and I can’t wait for you all to meet her. She will be joining me for clinic on Wednesdays and for 3 births a month as she is holding her mama boundaries in understanding how precious this time is with her baby girl. Please give Emily a big warm WELCOME🤍☀️🤍

Emily’s Bio✨

From a young age, I felt a deep calling to walk alongside women through the sacred journey of pregnancy and birth. After experiencing the beauty of my own homebirth and the transformative preparation leading up to it, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to this work.

I began my path as a doula, supporting mothers and families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in whatever way they needed most. I am passionate about empowering women to birth confidently and in their own strength. My academic background includes studying psychology at Liberty University, where I researched postpartum mood disorders! Now, I am excited to be stepping into a new season of training as a student midwife.

Alongside my studies, I’m a wife, a mother to a beautiful daughter, and a musician who loves leading worship. My heart for holistic healing and herbal remedies continues to shape the way I care for and support families.

You. You and all your youness. You just fill me right up. You give so much to so many and did a beautiful job allowing me to support you when it was your turn to receive care. You took this “job” seriously. You knew growing a baby was important and you felt so responsible with each corner you navigated. Sometimes, fearful you would take the wrong turn. Then you would reach out, we would see each other and you would move forward with peace. What a beautiful journey it was. Filled with laughter and tears at each visit. You and your husband are very special folks and I hope you know how much this walk meant to me.

With fear creeping in here and there prenatally. It was expected that we may have to navigate this a bit in labor. But no. You walked this path as if you had before. You let your body lead and you followed. You let the intensity wash over you and you instinctively moved right into the waves. It was a magical day. Surrounded by magical people. Your partner was calm and strong with a patient support. Your mama was the sweetest. Attentive and loving. slid in just as baby was born to cheer you on at the finish line and .kairos.midwife and I were there to observe your strength. It felt like a perfectly constructed orchestra or ballet… it just… flowed.

It was a pure honor to witness your beautifully composed strength. Every question and every bit of work you did while pregnant showed in the way you trusted your labor. I hope you are so dang proud of yourself…

Miss Daphne Marie was born June 20th @ 11:10am right into her daddy’s hands weighing 8 # 6oz and standing 21” tall. She is a beautiful reflection of your love🤍

Thank you thank you for letting us be your midwives. Love you so much🤍
