2025: A Year of Beautiful Births 💜💛
What an incredible honor it has been to walk alongside families this year! Here's a glimpse at our 2025 journey:
✨ 36 Primary Births - 36 families welcomed their babies with strength, courage, and the support of the midwifery model of care
👶 16 Boys & 20 Girls - Each one a precious gift
🌟 15 First-Time Mamas - I am so incredibly proud of these mothers! 42% of my clients this year were experiencing birth for the very first time, and watching them step into motherhood with confidence has been extraordinary. When nearly half of your births are with first-time parents, it tells a story: families are choosing informed care over fear-based narratives. They're seeking out education and support. They're trusting their bodies and reclaiming what birth can be.
🌟 7 VBACs - Seven powerful mothers reclaimed their birth stories
🙌 1 Breech Birth - Celebrating the art of physiological breech delivery
🏥 8 Transports - Eight times we honored the process and made informed decisions together for the safest outcomes.
💛 1 Cesarean Birth - Sometimes the best birth is the one where everyone arrives safely. And when that means a cesarean, it takes a special kind of courage to meet that change with strength and love. The mothers who walk that road are deeply brave, and their births deserve to be honored with pride and tenderness.
🤝 12 Births Assisting Sister Midwives - I am so grateful for my sister midwives. Supporting the midwives in my community, and being supported by them in return, is such a beautiful part of this calling.
📚 1 Student Midwife - It has been one of my greatest joys this year to watch student midwives step into this calling with curiosity, skill, and so much heart.
Every single birth story matters. Every mother's strength deserves to be celebrated. Every baby's arrival is a miracle, no matter how they come earthside.
For so many of these mothers, choosing midwifery care meant stepping away from the only story about birth they'd ever heard. It meant asking questions, doing research, and believing in a different possibility. Guiding families through that journey, supporting them, protecting their peace, earning their trust, and watching their strength unfold beside their babies will forever remain one of the greatest honors of my career.
Thank you to the families who trusted us with your most important moments, and to my sister midwives who welcomed me into their birth spaces. It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve you all.
Here's to another year of supporting informed choices, celebrating ALL births, and honoring the incredible power of mothers! 🌸
