Sometimes rest needs an invitation — a gentle cue to your body that it’s safe to soften, let go, and settle in to sleep.

This sleepytime mocktail is not only delicious, but it also blends tart cherry juice, chamomile, and minerals to help your body ease into rest — especially on the nights when sleep doesn’t come easily.

Hot tip: waking in the middle of the night? A protein-rich snack like pistachios can help steady your blood sugar and guide you back to sleep.

It’s Nurse Practitioner Week, and we’re taking a moment to honor Katherine Jacobs and the steady care she brings to our team and the women we serve. 🧡

Katherine has a gift of making space— to pause, to be heard, and to ask questions without feeling rushed. Her care is deeply personal, shaped by curiosity and a belief that every woman deserves to understand her body and feel at home in it.

She walks alongside women through all kinds of seasons—sorting through symptoms that don’t make sense, supporting fertility journeys, navigating hormonal shifts, or just helping someone feel well again after a long stretch of not.

What she brings to the table isn’t just clinical expertise. It’s presence, insight, and a deep respect for your whole story.

We’re grateful for how she helps make Haven feel like a place where women feel supported, known, and equipped to move forward.

📖 If Katherine has been part of your story, we’d love to hear what her care has meant to you.

Pregnancy is an incredible transformation — but let’s be honest, it’s not always a comfortable one.

From the heartburn to the back pain to those delightful 2 a.m. leg cramps, it’s easy to assume these symptoms are just part of the package. But common doesn’t mean normal.

Midwife Lauren Drees shares how your body may be asking for help — and what you can do to support it. Read the full blog for seven discomforts we see all the time (and how to ease them) 🩵

Sometimes a mama has more milk than her baby needs. And sometimes another finds herself needing a little extra. 🍼

Right now, we’re walking alongside a family who could use donated milk. If you have some to share, we’d be honored to help you connect.

You can fill out the donor form on our website and drop off milk at the Haven office during business hours.

Thank you for being part of a community that shows up for one another. 💛

Sometimes, what looks like coping is actually a quiet call for help. For many dads, postpartum depression doesn’t show up as tears—it can look like distance, distraction, or disengagement.

Guest author Emily Pardy of Ready Nest Counseling shares what to notice and how to support new dads dealing with male postpartum depression - up on our blog.

Our hearts are heavy as we remember the babies we never had the chance to meet, and the ones held only for a short time. Each of their lives had great value, and they are loved — even in loss.

As midwives and nurses, it’s a sacred part of our work to walk with women not only through life and birth, but also through loss. We carry the memory of these babies, and the families who love them, close to our hearts today.

If you are remembering a baby, we invite you to light a candle with us in their honor. We have candles available in the office if you’d like to take one, and we would be honored if you’d share your baby’s name or a candle below so we can remember alongside you.

If you’re walking through loss and need some support, we’ve shared a resource below. Know that you are not alone in this. 🤍
