Материнство — это про расширение себя, а не про потерю той, кем ты была.

My Beautiful Birth Story ✨

Since these were my first birth, it was very important for me to feel reliable support nearby. I dreamed of having a doula by my side — someone who would help me go through this special experience with care and understanding. And I am so grateful to God that it was Katie who was there with me!
From the very beginning, she gave me not only helpful information, but also so much attention, care, and encouragement that even before labor I felt much calmer and more confident.
I really wanted my birth to be as natural as possible. My dream was to labor through all the contractions at home and go to the hospital only for the actual birth.
My due date was September 10, but contractions began on the 9th and gradually intensified. By the 11th, I could already feel that everything was becoming more intense, and I called Katie. She advised me to try to rest and gave me tips on how to ease the process. I continued to work through the contractions, resting as much as I could and even managing to sleep a little.
But at night, the contractions became completely unbearable, and I called Katie again. She came — and from that moment on, she stayed by my side until our baby was born.
Katie's Support was incredible. Katie helped me with everything: she gave massages, applied heating pads, and suggested comfortable positions. She gently but confidently guided my breathing. When it felt like I was losing control and “flying away” with the contractions, Katie brought me back, helping me refocus and breathe properly.
There was so much verbal support and encouragement, and most importantly, she constantly reminded me what to focus on — not the pain, but the upcoming meeting with our baby girl.
Everything she did — the massages, the touch, the words, her full presence — was done with so much love and devotion that I truly felt: there was a person next to me who was walking this path together with me.

✨️Leading up to the birth of my baby boy, I felt ready. I loved being pregnant and was ready to meet him whenever he was ready. I’ve lived my whole life wanting to be a mom — to birth tiny humans and raise them to be good, God-fearing people. I filled my Instagram feed with birth stories so I could experience it as much as possible beforehand. I felt ready.
Labor started Monday night just before midnight. I didn’t wake my husband, unsure if they were real contractions. They were strong, 6–10 minutes apart, all night long. I labored all day Tuesday and Wednesday with the help of my loving husband and wonderful doula, Katie — in and out of the water, curb walking, massage, stretches. Katie’s gentle words and loving touch made the intensity feel manageable.
My husband was everything I needed — supportive, calm, steady. He labored with me in and out of the birth pool and held me through every wave. At one point contractions were 2–3 minutes apart. I could hardly eat and barely slept.

2025 — deep transformation and the year I met myself.
The year I stopped running from myself
and, for the first time, truly began to listen.
It was a year of silence.
A year of truth.
A year of growth that wasn’t always visible from the outside.
A year of deep, intense inner work.
A year of therapy, honesty, and becoming an adult in the truest sense.
A year when I chose healing —
not survival.
I lived.
I felt.
I released.
In that depth,
I found God within myself —
as love.
Quiet.
Alive.
Real.
I saw my soul
and allowed it to be.
It was an inner turning point.
Deep work — and the real me.
I went inward,
into the silence that heals.
And there, my soul became home.
I chose myself.
The inner work no one sees,
but the work that changes everything.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours🎄
May this season remind you that love is not found in perfection, but in presence.
In gathered hearts, quiet moments, shared meals, and the simple gift of being together.
May your home be filled with warmth, peace, and deep love.

Birth transforms not only the mother — it shapes the father too.
To witness a man show up for his wife with so much devotion and presence is powerful.

I walk with families to help them feel steady, informed, and held.
And seeing feedback like this reminds me why this calling is so sacred.

Thank you for your trust,
With love, Katie 🤍
