❤️It's important for partners to practice skin-to-skin contact, too. This helps with bonding and it can also help your partner feel more confident in their new role as a parent. Enjoy skin-to-skin contact with your little one immediately after birth, or even months after.❤️

I can’t believe it’s already been ONE year. I have enjoyed every second of it (yes, even the 3am wake up calls😜) and I can say with confidence that I LOVE what I do. To my past mamas, thank you for allowing me to join in on your birth journey. To my future mamas, I can’t wait to love on you. ❤️

"Parents are the original baby monitors.

We are designed keep our infants close. Even while we sleep, our bodies monitor and nurture our young. Our nearness promotes bonding, facilitates brain development, and regulates the nervous system. Infants are incapable of surviving without us, so the need to be close is also a hard-wired safety mechanism.

Humans are born earlier in their gestation than other mammals. We enter the world far less developed and far more helpless. A newborn calf can stand up within the first 2 hours after birth...human babies can’t even hold their own heads up until around 3 or 4 months old.

And if we look to our closest cousins, chimpanzees, for comparison…a human baby would need a 18-21 month gestation, rather than our usual 9-10, in order to be born at a comparable cognitive and neurological stage of development to that of a newborn chimpanzee. So our young toddlers aren’t even ready to cut the cord by chimp standards…

So, once earthside, we continue our gestation with the help of our parents. We stay rooted to our parents so that our bodies and minds may continue developing, in constant communication with theirs.

That is why its so troubling when our culture’s separation-focused narrative leads us to start second-guessing the value of proximity. It seems like we get our free pass for the newborn phase, but then after that there’s a bit of distaste for cosleeping or carrying or generally embracing high needs for closeness. I hope we can start to change that.

I hope that we can view proximity as something to honour as much as we can, rather than something to extinguish as early as possible.

That, instead of being considered a kind of lagging-behind or an alt parenting style, we can celebrate the magic that it is...

That we can reconnect with our mammalian nature, and, rather than feeling sheepish about these natural things we do, we can choose instead to roar with pride about them, as our little cubs roar too, right by our sides."

Birth doulas are trained to provide continuous, one-on-one care, as well as information, physical support, and emotional support to mamas and their partners.

I support unmedicated, medicated, planned and unplanned cesareans, home births, surrogacy births, births in a hospital, births in a birthing center, high risk mamas, etc.

If you want to learn more about how I can help you before, during, and after birth, send me a message and let’s chat! ❤️

I really enjoyed working with .easley and ❤️
As soon as we started working together, they were so eager to learn ALL the things! I’m so thankful for the friendship we’ve built over the last 6 months.

They are the best parents to sweet Magnolia + she is perfect in every single way! 💕

Hi there!👋🏼 I see some new faces around here so I figured now would be the perfect time share a little about myself.

I’m a wife, mom to Liv (with #2 on the way🥰), CycleBar instructor, and birth doula. I am super passionate about helping mamas + their partners before/during/after childbirth. I’ve met some amazing families so far, and can 100% say I LOVE what I do. 😍
