📝 Our extensive prenatal prep work together will look like this :
sitting with you for 2 prenatals, where we spend hours diving in to your individual birthing desires, likes/dislikes, “Top Goals for birth”, childbirth education information and any extra special touches I can do for you to elevate your birth experience. 💛 You only get to birth your baby once! That’s it! Once. Why not shoot for the moon and make this experience everything you’ve imagined… and more!
👋🏻 This Doula is Type A! I will take vigorous notes to ensure that come “game day”, this is our play book. We are sticking to your individual birthing plans, regardless of the birth story your baby writes.
When you’re deep in LaborLand and any questions arise, let me reference my doula book -first- so no one disturbs your flow. 🌊 💫

Your breastmilk is basically magic...

It changes every single feed - even every sip — to give your baby exactly what they need.
Inside every drop you'll find:

💧 Water - about 87% for hydration
💪 Proteins - for growth & immune support
🧠 Fats - for energy, brain & eye development
🤱 Carbs - for energy, gut health & calcium absorption
Vitamins & Minerals - for growth & health
💛 Antibodies — to fight infection
🌟 Hormones & Growth Factors - to aid development & bonding

No two mamas' milk is the same — it's made just for your baby.

More studies continue to come out about the benefits of breast-feeding.
The longer you can, the better!  benefits for baby, and benefits for you! Lifelong!
Need help? Reach out to a CLC or IBCLC 👋🏻

Breastfeeding has long been linked to a reduced risk of breast cancer, but how it has this effect isn’t entirely clear. Now, scientists have found that women who have breastfed have more specialised immune cells in their breasts, which may keep malignant ones in check.

Previous research suggests that the risk of breast cancer – the second most common form of cancer in the world – is reduced by 4.3 per cent for every one year of breastfeeding, with the protective effects perhaps particularly benefitting older mothers.

The 2025 Cochrane review on immediate and early skin-to-skin contact after birth highlights that further randomized controlled trials comparing skin-to-skin contact with ‘usual care’ are no longer ethical.

The findings show there is now enough evidence to make immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth the global standard of care, and as WHO already recommends skin-to-skin the standard of care, the authors argue that randomizing the separation of mother and newborn may no longer be justifiable.

Imagine telling vulnerable Mothers that you are a student midwife and perform Midwifery duties, including catching babies for pay - but you're actually not even enrolled in Midwifery School ... still very new into being a Doula and just graduated high school a few years ago. ....What possibly could go wrong...?

Excuse me while I go check my blood pressure and take my jaw off the floor. Unreal.
