Perimenopause and menopause conversations are starting to become more frequent among women, but many of the conversations are filled with questions about symptoms, work-life balance and how to manage this new phase of life.

Because so many of my clients are transitioning to this stage, it was only natural for me to educate myself so I can provide another layer of support. I’m excited to now offer Menopause Lifestyle Coaching, providing physical and mental guidance and support for the real-life challenges that come with this transition. From brain fog and fatigue to mood shifts and body changes, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Through this offering, I will support you with:
◽ Lifestyle management with a customized nutrition & wellness plan
◽ A personalized movement program designed to support your changing body
◽ Evidence-based guidance as a GGS Certified Menopause Specialist
◽ Compassionate support for your emotional and mental wellbeing

Menopause is not the end of life as you know it, it’s an invitation.
An invitation to take charge of the next phase of your life…
To redefine how you want to feel…
And to boldly decide who you want to be in this season.

This work is deeply personal to me because I am in this stage of life too. I understand the shifts, the questions, and the desire to feel like yourself again, if not better. I’m not just guiding you, I’m walking alongside you.

And as with all of my services, a spiritual aspect of support can be incorporated into your wellness plan if that’s something you desire. Because caring for your body and your spirit can go hand in hand.

If you:
😔 haven't felt like yourself
😵‍💫 are confused about how hormones are affecting your body
👩🏾‍⚕️ need help finding a provider or resources
🔍are seeking a mentor to put you on the path to reclaiming your identity

This is for you.

You deserve support. You deserve clarity. You deserve to thrive in this season.

Not being invited into the delivery room isn’t a reflection of your importance it’s a reflection of her comfort.

Birth is one of the most raw, vulnerable, and intense moments a woman will ever experience. It’s not a performance, it’s not a family gathering it’s a deeply personal medical and emotional event.

The people in that room are there to bring her peace, safety, and support… not pressure.

It’s okay to feel disappointed but it’s not okay to take it personally. Respecting her boundaries in that moment is one of the greatest ways you can show love.

Because when a woman feels safe, supported, and at ease during birth that matters more than anything.

✨ New on the Blog: AI Doulas vs Human Doulas ✨

This week I'm talking about the impact of AI doulas and how they compare to human doulas. Spoiler alert: they don't 😁 But there is some advantage to integrating AI into medical care and the influential element of virtual doula care to bridge the gap.

Get all the deets on my blog now 👉🏾 http://www.bestofbothworldsnc.com/blog/ai-cant-hold-your-hand-why-real-doulas-matter-in-the-modern-world

We are just one week away from introducing Abiding Love Birth Collective!

If you are expecting, planning to grow your family, newly postpartum or simply want to build a support system for the seasons ahead, I would love for you to follow along and learn more about what we’re building.

We are also currently looking to connect with a few Preferred Business Partners who serve families in our community, including:

✨ A maternity, birth, newborn, and family photographer
✨ A home organizer or cleaning service
✨ A pet sitter who understands the unique needs of families preparing for birth or welcoming a new baby

If this sounds like you or if you know someone who would be a great fit, please feel free to comment, tag them or send me a message. I’d love to connect and share more about the vision.

And if you’re a local family who may benefit from compassionate, faith-centered support during pregnancy, birth or postpartum, I invite you to follow along as Abiding Love Birth Collective continues to grow.

Today feels especially meaningful.

On this International Women’s Day, I’m celebrating 11 years of serving women and families as a doula. Eleven years of learning, giving, kinship and the incredible privilege of witnessing life begin again and again.

Biblically, the number 11 is often associated with transition, revelation and stepping into a new season of purpose. Looking back over the past eleven years, I can see how every birth, family, and lesson has been preparing me for what’s next.

What started as a calling on my heart has grown into my life’s work. It has truly been an honor to support so many families and bring peace and reassurance into birthing spaces & homes.

And as I celebrate this milestone on a day that honors women around the world, I’m also standing at the door of a beautiful new chapter.

Very soon I’ll be introducing to the world. A vision for deeper community, faith-centered support and collaborative care for families in our region.

To every mother who trusted me, every partner who welcomed me, every baby I had the honor of meeting first, thank you.

And to the doulas, birth workers, and women answering their own callings-keep going. Your work matters.

Cheers to 11 years of birth work, faithful obedience and the promise of what’s still to come.

Stay tuned… the next chapter is almost here.
