Who’s gonna sign up for your meal train?

If you’re pregnant and you’re still telling yourself that you and your husband can do it on your own I’ve got one question. Why try and do it alone when there’s a city full of parents who would love to be there for your family during this amazing transition?

Parenthood is so much better when we do it together. So PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE! I’m telling you now that 99% of people are eager to connect and will respond with YES when you invite them to a coffee date or a walk around the marina.

Get your butt in an IN PERSON parent group and invite one person to do something outside of that group.

Here’s a few of my favorite groups, please feel free to comment more!

Moms connect ( Christian, cost involved, south Reno)
MomCo( Christian, cost involved, all over!)
Primed Pregnancy Circle, ( free, biggest little baby)
Dads and donuts ( free, biggest little baby)
Fit4mom (exercise, cost involved, midtown)
Hike it Baby ( hiking/outdoors, maybe cost?, all over)
Your neighbor who walks down your street with a stroller!

Go on Facebook and search {niche ie sourdough, twins, crunchy, silky, 1000 hours outside, hipster, medically complex, board games} {your part of town} moms and I guarantee you can find a group that is planning play dates at least every month. Don’t stress if you are pregnant without a kid to play at the play date, you are one of us and we want you there!

You have to build your village! So get out there and DO it! 🤍

Asked ChatGPT for some great doulas and guess who popped up on the list..

Thank you for the idea!

I am so grateful for the ways God has chosen to grow my business. It is a blessing to serve the city I was raised in and to be a part of so many families birth days. And I’m so grateful to every family I have worked with and will get to work with this year! 🥲

If you’re looking for one of the best doulas in Reno, I just might be your girl! 😉

Please don’t JUST take the free class at the hospital.
Sign up for Childbirth Ed Express!
You will learn about all the basics, the physiology of labor, talking to providers, common tests and procedures, pushing methods, pain management tools, and more.
But what makes this class different from the others is this:
1. I focus on your unique questions and concerns regarding birth and postpartum. There’s extra time scheduled into the class to go over things you won’t find answered in most childbirth classes.
2. I focus on getting you connected to local, in person resources that will make your transition into parenthood (or into a bigger family) a beautiful experience.

Signing up for a high quality childbirth class is one of the simplest ways to make your birth safer and smoother. You will be prepared and confident for whatever birth you have.

This class is taught at , Reno’s best local resource for families. Come early or hang out after and take a tour to learn more about everything they offer.

I hope to see you there! You can find a link in my bio to sign up. 🤍

I absolutely adore you, and you just told me you’re pregnant… here’s what I’m bringing you to say congratulations!🥳🤰👶

1. Calm - personal fave, we love a magnesium supplement during pregnancy. This one isn’t the best of the best BUT it’s a godsend for heart burn and keeping BMs normal.
2. Peppermint tea - for nausea and nerves! Something about even just the smell of a cup of warm peppermint tea can soothe morning sickness. I also recommend a cup of peppermint tea before ultrasounds or really anything stressful.
3. Ginger mints - good for nausea on the go. No one will ask questions if you’re popping a mint, so it’s great for early pregnancy. Stash some in the car and in your purse.
4. Crackers - keep these next your bed, if you wake up with nausea, snack on a few of these before you get out of bed and it’ll help to settle all the yuck.
5. Liquid IV - again maybe not the best of the best as far as electrolyte supplements go, but this one was rocket pop flavored 🤤 and it’s good for those days where it’s hard to drink enough water or you’ve been sick. Throw a few of these in your purse too!
6. Probiotics- start these when you start your prenatal! Seriously! Look for ones with at least 6 billion CFUs. Great for keeping strep B at bay and making sure yours and baby’s gut bacteria is strong and happy!
7. Raspberry leaf tea - this one is talked about a lot, but I feel like most moms wait until the third trimester. It won’t put you into labor, but it will make you p*e more. Start with 1 cup a day per trimester you are in. 1 cup- 1st trimester, 2 cups 2nd trimester etc. This herb helps tone your uterus which can help labor progress more smoothly as well as helping with postpartum hemorrhaging.
8. Your favorite treat and a reminder to take it easy- the first trimester is invisible and challenging work. You’re going to think you’re lazy or crazy but you’re not! You’re literally creating the building blocks of life with the nutrients and energy that used to be just for you. It’s normal to be depleted. Give yourself rest and remember that you’re working at marathon capacity right now. If the opportunity for a nap presents itself, take it!
And eat a treat, you’re a mom!

It’s Childbirth Ed Express but make it lovey-dovey and extra sweet!

Really, it’s the same fun and comprehensive class it always is but this time the snacks are date night themed; sweet treats, Martinellis , and fancy appetizers! Also I’ll be wearing pink so I’m really going all out for yall!

It’s a date night, it’s an investment in your family, and it’s a good time!

You’ll leave the class feeling confident, encouraged, and ready to meet your baby!

Ways to get discounted rates included in caption 💵

I am raising my prices for a few reasons.
1. My time away from my primary job, as parent to my children, needs to be worth it for my family. Raising prices allows me to have better resources to care for them when I’m away from home for unpredictable amounts of time.
2. My current rates are pretty far below a lot of other doulas in the area. I respect their businesses and believe when we all charge in the same price range we all benefit. Doula burnout is real and it happens when we pour from an empty cup.
3. I’ve gained another year of experience and added another training under my belt. I promise I am worth what you pay.

If you have worked with me before you will pay the rates for the time you first worked with me 🥳

If you book in the next month you can get in on my low pricing while still getting all the amazing I currently have to offer. 🥳

Finally if you take my childbirth class at Biggest Little Baby you can get $300 off my just the basics package. You get 3.5 hours of education, 1 hour one on one prenatal and postpartum check ins, 4 weeks on call, my attendance at your birth or a qualified back up if needed and my phone number to ask questions about whatever comes up throughout pregnancy and postpartum. 🥳

Thank you so much for supporting this dream of mine. When you sign with me know you are paying for my kids swim lessons, trips to visit family, sleds and homeschool materials. 🤍

Rebuilding and rebranding a business in a new city is a challenge in and of itself, doing it with nursing twin babies was a little like building a house on a spinning beach ball.
But my God does not fail and when He has a plan nothing will stop it.
Thank you to every family that chose me this year, it’s an honor I don’t take lightly.
Thank you to the businesses that recommended me to pregnant moms and bolstered my fresh start in the Reno birth community.

Here’s to all my 2025 families and the amazing people who will enter the world this year. 💜

Merry Christmas!

My cup is full!
This week I attended TWO births and had a prenatal&childbirth class visit.
We sat outside in the most perfect weather and discussed all things birth, parenthood and faith.

I love prenatals because they are so full of hope and expectancy. We anticipate the good while preparing for everything else. We praise God for the mountains knowing He will be there in the valleys.

If you are feeling like your prenatal care is lacking in the care part and you’re looking for someone who is going to really listen to you, DM me. Let’s talk about how I can walk alongside you as your family grows!
