Grief has a way of weaving itself into the glow of the holidays โ€” quiet, tender, and sometimes heavier than we expect. If this season feels different, softer, or a little more fragile, youโ€™re not alone.

Be gentle with your heart.
Be patient with your healing.
And offer kindness freely. Most of us are carrying stories we donโ€™t speak out loud.

Hereโ€™s to giving ourselves (and each other) a little more room to breathe. ๐Ÿ’›

A doula is for support. For comfort.

A doula is to help you find your voice + encourage you to step into your autonomous power.

Holding space during your most vulnerable + intimate moments.

Your doula should be your friend.

And, as your birth and bereavement doula, your holistic infant sleep specialist, and friend, l am here to provide you with informational, emotional, + physical support. And absolutely no judgement, ever.

We have been conditioned to believe that our arms are not capable of soothing our babies + that we need to run out and buy the latest gadget that will do it for us.

That our breastmilk loses nutritional or comfort value once our baby turns a year old. Or that โ€œyour baby is just using you as a pacifierโ€, when in reality, the pacifier was made to mimic the breast.

That your baby, who spent nine months cozied up in your womb, needs to sleep in a completely separate room, with โ€œexpertsโ€ saying theyโ€™re okay to cry themselves to sleep. ๐Ÿค”

None of that sat well with me. And, if youโ€™re in the same boat, tune out the noise, tune into your intuition, + parent the way that you feel called.

Books, podcasts, + random stranger advice may try to tell you societal โ€œnormsโ€, but what does your gut say? Listen to that. โœจ You know your baby best.

Wife. Mother. Birthkeeper. Friend.

Hello, sweet friend! Iโ€™m Destiny, a holistic infant sleep specialist and birth + bereavement doula with a heart for holding space for families through every chapter of their journey. I believe deeply in the beauty of embracing both joy and sorrow in lifeโ€™s most tender moments.

Having navigated my own experiences of grief, love, life after loss, and healing, I truly understand how important it is to be surrounded by compassionate and intentional care. This personal connection inspires me to provide holistic support that goes beyond the surface.

My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and trust, creating a safe environment where families feel supported, heard, and understood.

If youโ€™re looking for a gentle, understanding guide to help you through birth, loss, or early parenthood, Iโ€™d love to connect and walk alongside you on your unique path.

Another testimonial from a wonderful family who graciously invited me into their birthing space.

I love that this is what I get to do โ€” it is truly one of the biggest honors to sit side by side with people as they go through lifeโ€™s big transitions. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

Hey friends! Iโ€™ve been a little MIA on social media, but Iโ€™m still active in my community and supporting families through their birthing journeys. ๐Ÿซถ

I wanted to share a testimonial from this wonderful family. And a huge thank you to them for allowing me into their sacred birth space. Itโ€™s an incredible honor, every single time.

Close your eyes and think of a dinner plate. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Did you know that when your placenta detaches, that's the size of the wound left in it's place?!

If we had a wound that size externally, of course weโ€™d tell someone to rest and heal. So, tell me why we guilt moms into "bouncing back"? Excuse my language, but it's utter bullsh*t and it's gotta STOP. ๐Ÿ›‘

โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน Take the first several weeks after giving birth to rest. Relax. Soak up the baby snugs, and bond. Eat nutritious meals. Listen to your body + don't over do it.

We have been so conditioned to believe that our arms are not capable of soothing our babies + that we need to run out and buy a swing or bassinet that will do it for us. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

That our breastmilk loses nutritional or comfort value once our baby turns a year old + we must switch them to another animal's milk + hide our breasts away in shame... ๐Ÿ™„

That our baby, that spent nine months cozied up in our warm, safe womb, needs to sleep in a completely separate room. And, that as long as they aren't hungry, they're okay to cry themselves to sleep. ๐Ÿค”

โฃ๏ธ None of that sat well with me. And, if you're in the same boat, tune into that God-given intuition of yours + mother the way that you feel called.

Books, podcasts, + random stranger advice may try to tell you societal "norms", but what does your gut say? Listen to that. โœจ You know your baby best.

What if we honored our postpartum bodies the same way we celebrated our pregnant bodies?

Imagine. Honoring the belly that kept your child warm, happy, + protected within your womb. Confidently wearing your skin, rather than hiding it away when the cameras come out. Saying โ€œmy body made, nourished, + birthed, + I am damn PROUD!โ€

Imagine. Lovingly holding + rubbing your belly, even when the womb is empty. Thanking each stretch mark, scar, + roll for bringing you both to this new life.

Imagine. Knowing you are perfect just as you are. Honor, rejoice, + celebrate โ€” in pregnancy + forever postpartum.
