A sweet little one decided February was a wonderful month to have a birthday. 💜👣 And we were blessed by the most amazing sunrise following the birth. So thankful for families trusting me and welcoming me doing their special time and the amazing team who helped support me!

On call ☀️ + swim meet sidelines 🏊‍♀️ = multitasking midwife life!

Waiting for a sweet little one to decide it’s time to make an appearance here in the next week or two. So this midwife is soaking up some much-needed vitamin D and sunshine while cheering on my kiddos at their swim meet. 🌞💛 Between races, I’m rereading Real Food for Gestational Diabetes - always keeping up with the latest knowledge so I can continue offering the very best care to my amazing clients.

Grateful for a career that lets me blend family time, fresh air, and lifelong learning all in one beautiful, busy day.

Yesterday was such a FUN clinic day — the kind that fills your cup and reminds you how much you love what you do. Sweet heartbeats, adorable baby feet, chunky little thigh rolls from amazing mom’s hard work nourishing their babies, growing bellies, meaningful conversations… all the good stuff. 💜

And… I’m officially back on call for midwifery clients.

These past few weeks off call were such a gift. I had the sweetest time pouring into myself, my family, and my marriage — resting, regrouping, and catching up on all the little (and big) things that get missed when lots of tiny humans decide it’s birthday time over the past year.

I am so, so, so thankful for that having taken this pause. Sustainable rhythms matter. I have seen so much burnout over my years as a Birthworker and since I started one of my biggest goals has been to keep midwifery for sustainable for myself and our family.

Now… full honesty… I may have taken a doula client during my “break.” 🤦‍♀️😂💜 It had been almost four years since I’d stepped into that role, and it was such great reminder and check in to look at being available in supporting that way again. I might do it again!

I’m officially in catch-up mode because I truly let as much nonessential work go as possible while I was off call (highly recommend 🙌). If you’ve reached out and are waiting to hear back from me, I promise I’m working through messages and will respond ASAP. Thank you for your grace!

Now we wait… because a sweet little one is due to arrive any day. 🌙✨ There’s nothing quite like the anticipation of an on-call phone and a family about to meet their baby.

Grateful. Refreshed. Ready. 💜

Double the love, double the magic! 💜💜

My first placenta encapsulation of 2026 was extra special — TWINS!! 💜💜
I’ve only had the honor of encapsulating for one other incredible twin mom before, so this was such a neat and educational experience. I do just love helping moms postpartum with this service!

These sweet babies were fraternal twins, each with their own placenta and amniotic sac — truly amazing to witness how beautifully different they were. 💜
(And if you look closely, you can see just how neat those amniotic sacs were too! )

Forever in awe of the human body and the stories each birth tells.

Beautiful morning in Southern California!! This midwife is officially off call for births for the next 2.5weeks! I still will have clinic days and placentas but not on call for births. So thankful for this time to regroup, recharge and relax and enjoy some phone free time with my family. (Also time to complete my annual house reorganization / deep clean out done!) Time off is absolutely essential for me keeping midwifery sustainable for our family. I’m looking forward to coming back to help some amazing families welcome their babies in 2026.
