I have been doing Placenta Encapsulation for about 8 years and the success rates of these little capsules being helpful is incredibly high. It’s very important to make sure that whomever does your encapsulation is well educated on the encapsulation process, has a sterile environment, and knows when it’s not safe to use encapsulate.

The evidence mostly anecdotal but people swear by it…. If you’ve gone through postpartum without Pleacenta Encapsulation then you had placenta encapsulation for the following pregnancy, you will feel the difference.

Tell me your experience!!! Nothing speaks like personal experience.

✨Raw videos of my son’s birth in honor of his 5th birthday today — he was my 10lb Homebirth baby✨

The fetal ejection reflux (FER) is soooooooo real. Your body pushes and bears down hard, it’s a reflux that happens beyond your control. My body was pushing spontaneously and I was just letting it happen. I legitimately had no idea my baby was about to fly out, I was shocked! Natural, physiologic birth is truly unbelievable — best, hardest, most out-of-body and blissed out experience in all of life. 🤍😭

See the next video when he gave a little cry. I had zero fear with him not crying immediately. It’s actually totally ok and normal for it to take a minute for babies to transition to breathing, they are still receiving oxygen through the placenta. He was alert, responsive, had good color, he was fine. Crying is not required for a healthy transition; it’s just one way babies clear fluid and expand their lungs. I was so grateful not to have people breathing over me and aggressively rubbing my baby.

I’ll never get over this moment 😭

Thank you - I love you.

✨Twin Birth✨
These cuties had a twin birth via cesarean.
We did some grounding and mom had a mediation she wanted to do before going back to the OR. We had prepared and they were ready to meet their baby girls. I was prepped and ready to join mom in the OR should dad need to leave with the babies. This is an option you can advocate for with a cesarean birth. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Did you know this?!

It’s important to know your choices and options for a cesarean birth so you can feel calm, confident, and ready to welcome baby.

Birth is sacred. Birth matters. A cesarean birth is no exception. 🫶🏽

✨Sibling introductions are the best! Just look at these two! What did you do when introducing the baby to the big sibling? For those who had a tough time, what helped make the transition smoother? We’re all ears! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

For the mother to feel held and supported is everything. Birth is dynamic, unpredictable, vulnerable and sacred. You really don’t know what will come up for your birth but feeling held, seen, and having support to navigate the journey is why I love being a doula.

I will hold space. I will hold your hand, give counter pressure, massage your feet, laugh, cry or just bear witness to your strength.

I will always hold the mother.
Sometimes I hold babies
But mostly, I hold the mother.

My mom and sister were there when both my babies were born. It was so special. I couldn’t have people around me when I was laboring 🤪 🙅🏻‍♀️ but when it came time to push, I was all for it.

I absolutely love that the closest women in my life were there when my babies were born. Just look at these photos 🥹 😍

Out of the office 🏔️ ⛺️ 🎣 ☀️

I have been off for almost two weeks. I am so grateful to have been able to enjoy Spring break with my husband and kiddos.

I am back to regular scheduled program on Tuesday 4/7.

Doulas are not just for homebirths and unmedicated birth. It’s about having someone with you to provide continuity of care, help navigate the unexpected, translate what’s happening in real time, and help create the calm 🩷

Also, wanting an epidural doesn’t mean you don’t want a low intervention birth. Being educated on timing for an epidural, how to keep out other interventions, different ways to push, and having peace of mind around it all can make a huge difference in your birth experience.

I was so grateful to have met Courtney! She helped me realize that I needed to share more about the benefits of a doula even regardless of the way you use pain management!

Courtney had such a ✨calm✨ birth and her baby boy was welcomed with so much love in the room 🩶

Lucky me 🍀
Look at this cutie baby! We aren’t getting pinched today.

————-
Three births in one week.
Their due dates were spread out over the month of March and all three came in the same week. This happens often. Back-to-back babies.
Somehow, it always works out and I am so grateful that the case.

I want to hold space for all of those who have births that, despite doing “all the things”, ended up going sideways.

I want to hold space for those who wanted a redemptive birth and gave it their all with choosing a good care team, got educated, prepped their mind and body, and still they were the .04% that has a different ending.

I want to hold space for all of those who did everything they could for a trauma-free birth and yet, there was still trauma and deep grief around how things went.

I want to hold space for all the folks who didn’t get immediate skin-to-skin with their baby, or photos, or even remember the first moments… or maybe don’t want to remember.

Holding space for all those who feel stuck in grief and sadness in their postpartum period and have lost hope about birth being a “beautiful experience.

Not every birth has a happy ending. I wish we could promise that to everyone… but they deserve to feel seen and heard, too. It’s hard! I will hold space for you and sit with you in your grief.

Love you.

I believe you!!! Period. You’re not being “dramatic” and you’re not making stuff up. You are in your body and can feel things that I cannot. You tell me, I believe you!

If you feel like you need to push - I believe you
If you are in pain and need support - I believe you
If you don’t want to be induced - I believe you
If you say you feel better don’t the hospital - I believe you
If you say you want to labor at home - I believe you

In home care is family centered care 🤍

This sweet family had a homebirth birth and I had the pleasure of being at their last homebirth, too. My heart is so full being able to bear witness to their growing family.

Pic 1, 2, 3 - postpartum care and making muffins for the family with big brother’s help (melt my heart!!!)
Pic 4 - snuggling baby brother right after his brand new baby sister was born in their bathtub
Pic 5 - in home prenatal meeting as we prepare for baby sister’s home birth. The kids were playing and part of the whole process.

& - love you guys and your beaaaaaautiful babies! Thanks for having me as part of your care team!!! xoxoxo
