When entering the home of a client for our very first postpartum visit, I proceed with caution. Not because I know a hurricane awaits, but because it is a fragile space. My job is to meet my clients where they’re at, not an arbitrary place I *think* they should be. This requires discussion and care. Most postpartum parents will agree there are numerous conflicting emotions crashing into one another after a baby joins the family. It’s delicate. I often remind these parents that part of my job is to give some stability, to ease burdens. We discuss the birth and these early days of the fourth trimester, all the ways the body and mind are recovering and coping. I affirm your hunches and answer questions. I remind you of your needs and that you can and should take the space and time to address them. I’m here for you.

A very sweet graduation today. I've had the blessing of having this mama babysit my kiddos, watched her walk down the aisle to the love of her life, and now get to see the two of them create their family. You two are phenomenal parents, and I am so proud of you. 🩷🤍

♥️ “What if we told women the truth about birth
We’d have to tell them that contractions will probably be more than “surges” or “sensations.”

That they’ll probably rock your f✨cking world and leave you begging for salvation as you clutch the edge of the tub or the hospital linens

That your gentle breathing exercises and your Spotify soundtrack will be left in the dust as you sweat and pant and sway and swear your way through it

That you’ll trip harder than any mushroom you ever did in college and vomit with the same ferocity and travel to places deep within yourself that you didn’t know existed. That you’ll float above your body and simultaneously be trapped in it with an intensity you’ve never tasted

And in that intensity, in the sweating and the swearing and the swaying and the vomiting and the endless hours of contractions crashing down upon you
You’ll find your strength
You’ll find a resilience you’ve never known
You’ll find the power you need for the journey of motherhood ahead

In the messy humanity of it all
You’ll find that you are holy
A portal to the divine
Capable of indescribable miracles
A vessel of sacred life

What if we told women the truth about birth?
We’d have to tell them they are capable of anything
Worthy of being treated like goddesses
Made to walk through the flames
Surf the tidal waves
Dive into the underworld
And come out alive

Not unscathed
Not unchanged
But whole
And healed
And ready to take on the world

If we told women the truth about birth
We’d have to admit that we’ve lied about everything else
And that they are more powerful
More fierce
More capable
More beautiful
Than we’ve ever let on.

If we told the truth about birth?
We’d shatter the world.”
