•Out of Office for Midwifery Training•

Hey everyone! I’ll be out of the office this week attending midwifery training to continue growing and learning how to better serve our families. 💕

If you need anything while I’m away, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Anne (270) 993-2745. I’ll respond to messages as soon as I can once I return.

Thank you all for your patience and support while I take this time for continued education — I’m excited to bring back fresh knowledge and skills to our community!

Now Offering Birth Pool Rentals!

We are so excited to share that we are now offering **professional birth pool rentals** as part of our services.

You may have seen people recommend using an inexpensive kiddie pool for home birth, but here are a few reasons why a professional-grade birth pool makes a big difference.

Birth Pool In A Box (BPIAB):

Safety & Comfort– Birth pools are made with materials that are **phthalate-free and designed for prolonged skin contact**, unlike kiddie pools.

Depth & Space– They’re **deeper, sturdier, and roomier**, giving you buoyancy and freedom to move into positions that support labor progress.

Built-in Comfort Features- BPIAB pools have **cushioned walls, handles for grip, and an inflatable floor**, making them supportive for both you and your partner.

Clean & Hygienic– Each rental includes **disposable liners**, ensuring everything is fresh and sanitary for your birth. And in addition to the liners, the pool will be sanitized between uses.

Designed for Birth, Not Play – Kiddie pools weren’t designed to support hours of labor, heat retention, or the weight of adults moving around. A birth pool keeps the water warm longer and stays comfortable throughout.

Whether you’re planning a water birth or simply want the soothing benefits of laboring in water, renting a professional pool is a beautiful way to enhance your birth experience. 💙

Phase 1: ✅Complete

I’ve officially finished Phase 1 of my midwifery training—and I’m feeling all the feelings. Mostly joy, excitement, and a deep sense of calling. But I’d be lying if I didn’t say that every now and then fear, anxiety, and overwhelm sneak in too.
In just a few short weeks, I’ll begin traveling out of state one week each month to study alongside some amazing women. I’ll be learning so much—but I’ll also be missing a lot. Theodore’s birthday, Galaxy’s next baby’s arrival, my first holiday away… and that’s just during the first week. There will be many big and small moments that I won’t get to be part of, and that’s honestly the part that makes me want to say, “Nope, someone else can do this.”
But I love this work. Deeply. And I know I have to at least try. I have to start the journey.
So—thank you in advance for your patience and your prayers as we figure out our new normal in our family and business life.
Yes, I’ll still be doing homeopathy! Just know that during my travel weeks, my availability will be limited. I’m working on:
* An automated message so you’ll know when I’m out of reach
* A detailed intake form to help streamline the process. This will apply even when I’m home/in office (PLEASE fill it out with as much info as possible—“cough” is not helpful —paint the picture so clearly that I can hear it as I read it).
This is big. And a little scary. But also so right. Here’s to the beginning of something beautiful.

Hey Mommas!

I’m putting together some simple, low-key park meet-ups for new and expecting moms. Nothing fancy — just a chance to get out of the house, connect, and breathe some fresh air with others who *get it*.

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, bottle-feeding, breastfeeding, baby-wearing, or just chasing a toddler around in crocs and yesterday’s dry shampoo — you’re welcome here. AND nobody will be judging you!

We’ll chat birth, postpartum, babies, and whatever else is on your heart.

It’s informal and short (because… naps, breastfeeding, and toddler meltdowns)
Come as you are — even if that’s late and a little frazzled.

📅 Upcoming Meet-Ups:
🧺 Friday, August 15 (Horsefork Splash pad @ 9a)
🧺 Thursday, September 11 (TBD)
🧺 Tuesday, October 14 (TBD)
*(Locations and times TBA — or message me for details!)*

A quick note:
These meet-ups are *not* a space for selling or promoting products or services. I want to keep things relaxed and focused on connection, not commerce. If you have something to share, I’m happy to help spread the word outside of this setting when it’s appropriate!

My hope is that you’ll meet a few other like-minded mommas and start to build the kind of village we all need(ed).
