Funny how the loudest opinions usually come from the people who haven’t read the evidence on home birth.

Anyway, she’s doing great. ✨

“We” actually includes YOU. There is no “we” without your “yes.”

“We” don’t do anything to your body without
➡️ Pause (No rushing)
➡️ Evidence (The ‘why’ behind the ‘what’)
➡️ Discussion (Your options, questions, conversation)
➡️ Permission (Your actual consent)

Are you an active participant in your care?

To the keyboard experts who claim home birth isn’t safe and midwives aren’t prepared for emergencies...

To the medical professionals who degrade the midwifery model and use fear to keep women from choosing their own path...

To the blog posts that mock physiological birth like it’s a trend that women don’t get a medal for...

To the ones who question home birth that have never seen or experienced physiological birth…

To the ones who try to explain birth to the woman who has caught hundreds of babies in every possible scenario…

And to the ones who say VBAC, breech, or twins are “impossible” at home...

Trust me. I know ball. 🏀

We’ve reached a strange place in birth culture where a repeat cesarean is seen as “routine,” yet a VBAC is treated like a high-stakes gamble. 🚩

We have become so desensitized to the risks of major abdominal surgery. The infection rates, the recovery time, the surgical complications…We’ve lost sight of the data.

The 1% risk of uterine rupture is real, but it shouldn’t be the only part of the conversation. It’s time to stop normalizing surgery as the “default” and start looking at the full picture to really decide what is best for you.

For so many mamas, a first birth in a traditional hospital setting can leave you feeling rushed, unheard, or even deeply hurt. It’s common to walk away thinking, “I’m never doing that again.” But I want you to know: Your next story can be different.

This beautiful review from a Kharis mama says it all. After a rough first experience, she discovered that birth could actually be enjoyable. (Yes, really!)

The secret isn’t luck, but the environment and the support that you thoughtfully choose. This is why consultations are so important. You aren’t just a patient on a chart with Kharis. You are a person who deserves to be fully seen, heard, and loved.

Whether you’re dreaming of your first home birth or seeking healing after a difficult past experience, we are here to hold that space for you. Birth is meant to be beautiful, and it’s meant to be yours.
