Sweet review by a sweet family.

I birthed my last two babies at Loving Arms, and both experiences were far beyond anything we could have expected. The love, honor, and overwhelming support from Karin and Emily embody exactly how every birthing experience should be.

There is no way I could have made it through nearly 50 hours of labor without Emily and Sophia. Their strength, encouragement, and presence were everything. They are truly a blessing, and our family is forever grateful. SH

Happy Valentine's Day

May you have a sweet, peaceful day with small and/or large displays of affection and love. Enjoy this beautiful sunny warm day. The flowers were a gift from my sweet husband a few days ago after a very rough day.

Can't wait to see everyone on Friday.  I was out of town due to a family emergency.  Thank you Emily for being there.

✨ New Monthly Education Series Begins This February ✨

SAVE THE DATE

We’re excited to announce the launch of our monthly presentation series, beginning in February! These gatherings will take place on the second Tuesday of each month, featuring a new topic each time related to pregnancy, birth, parenting, and family well-being.

💜 February’s topic: Domestic Abuse Awareness

Presented by CASA Marion, this important conversation is designed to provide education, resources, and support for families and our community.

We believe informed families are empowered families, and we’re honored to create space for learning, connection, and meaningful dialogue. More details coming soon—we hope you’ll join us.

Friday morning is coming.  My favorite morning of the week.  Hope to see you all at Moms Group.
