When I’m Not Doula-ing…
You can find me practicing yoga, experimenting with nutritious recipes, or spending time in nature, soaking up the calm and beauty that inspire my work. I’m also passionate about continuing my education in birth work to ensure I bring the most up-to-date knowledge and tools to my clients.

Tonight I’m doing something I encourage all my postpartum mothers to do…

prepare nourishment before the baby arrives.

One of the biggest surprises for new mothers is this:
Everyone focuses on the baby… but mother needs care too.

So tonight I’m meal prepping simple, nourishing foods that support postpartum healing:

🌾 Brown rice for grounding energy
🥕 Sautéed carrots & bell peppers for vitamins and nourishment
Rice cooker is definitely 👍🏾
🌿 Fresh collard greens harvested from my own garden for mineral-rich healing
🥚 Vegetable egg bites that can be frozen and reheated quickly ( fresh kale 🥬 from my garden)

As a Birth Guardian Doula, I always remind mothers that the fourth trimester is a sacred recovery period.

Mother is healing.
Mother is feeding baby.
Mother is adjusting to a whole new rhythm of life.

Having nourishing meals prepared ahead of time makes those early days so much easier. GAME CHANGER

And tonight’s greens feel extra special because they came straight from my garden — grown with love, harvested with intention, and prepared to nourish the body.

An image of a Black fetus in a womb by Nigerian medical student and illustrator Chidiebere Ibe went viral four years ago, with many noting they had never seen dark skin in these types of images.

It also highlights the need for diversity in medical illustrations.

✨ Birth Guardian Birth Story ✨

Round 2: I had the honor of supporting a beautiful first-time family as they welcomed their baby boy Earthside.

Labor began gently and gradually built through the night. Mom worked through each contraction with strength and determination while surrounded by love from her partner and family. From the beginning, they trusted the process, trusted each other, and trusted my guidance.

There were moments where I stepped away briefly to allow labor to continue unfolding naturally. Even during that time, we stayed in communication every hour. I continued guiding them from a distance — offering movement suggestions, position changes, and encouragement.

They listened, watched, and followed my expertise.

And they carried out the mission flawlessly.

Together we focused on movement, patience, and allowing the body to do what it was designed to do. Mom leaned into her strength while dad remained steady beside her, supporting her through every wave.

This birth reminded me deeply of my purpose as a doula — to empower the mother and to ensure her birth preferences are acknowledged and respected so she can birth the way she desires.

Part of my role is also bridging communication — working as a team with the nurses, midwives, doctors, and anesthesiology staff while honoring the mother’s wishes and keeping the environment supportive and respectful for everyone involved.

Birth works best when everyone works together.

And that’s exactly what happened.

With strength, focus, and the wisdom of her body, mom worked her baby down and out just as nature intended.

At 4:51 AM, their 8 lb .8 oz baby boy entered the world strong and ready, measuring 19.5 inches with Apgar scores of 8 and 9.

No medication.Just trust, teamwork, and a mother fully supported in her power.

Mom did an absolutely wonderful job, and dad was right there every step of the way.

Mom became a mother.
Dad became a father.
And a beautiful baby boy entered the world surrounded by love.

It is always an honor to stand beside families during one of life’s most sacred transformations.

Welcome Earthside, little one. 💙
