Sounds like a great class!

Postpartum Realities – Part 1 💛
This class covers what really happens after birth: the first hours and days, physical recovery, pelvic floor and abdominal healing, vaginal and cesarean recovery, NICU experiences, and postpartum red flags.
This space is for everyone — parents, partners, and support people — who want honest, practical postpartum education.

Food is medicine—for our community 🌱

Starting February 15, 2026, the Food Is Medicine Program supports Medicaid patients in Southern New Mexico, including pregnant people living with Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes.

Eligible participants receive weekly, home-delivered grocery boxes with locally grown produce, eggs, and grains—because access to nourishing food is part of care.

We all need at least one person in our lives that "gets it". Be that someone for your birthing people. ❤️❤️❤️ I know I had several people to thank during my postpartums and it made the world of difference.

Wrapped up an amazingly educational and busy weekend at the in Las Cruces where we did hands on training and scenarios to practice the skills we use for the occasional emergency. Big shout out to for their support, Andrea and Avril at B.E.S.T for all of their wisdom and work they put into a thorough and fun event, and NMSU for having us in their space doing our Midwifery weirdness. 🤣

It was refreshing to gather with all my community birthworkers near and far, and learn with them and from their experiences. The amount of stories and laughter filling the room was refreshing to the soul. It was too long since our last gathering! ❤️❤️✨️
