✨ I LOVE consultation days ✨
There’s something so special about sitting with an expecting mother, hearing her story, and learning what she hopes for in her birth and postpartum journey. It’s a joy to get to share how a doula can support, advocate, and bring more confidence and calm into the process. And honestly, it fills my cup every single time.
I’ve met some of the sweetest families through these conversations, and many have turned into real friendships.
Feeling grateful today. 💛

It’s homebirth awareness week ❤️

Homebirth will always hold a special place in my heart. I’ve had two of my own babies at home surrounded by people who trusted the process right alongside me. Those experiences shaped not only how I view birth, but how I support birth today.

This week, I’m celebrating the families who choose home, the midwives who serve with wisdom, and the divine design of birth itself.

Have you ever thought about or experienced birth at home? I’d love to hear what “home” meant for you

✨ Did you know? For low-risk moms, hands-on (intermittent) fetal monitoring is recommended by ACOG, ACNM, COGC, and NICE — not continuous electronic fetal monitoring.

✨ This approach can lower your chances of a C-section or vacuum/forceps delivery and lets you move, labor, and birth freely — in whatever position feels right for you.

Were you offered options besides continuous monitoring? 💬
Ask your birth team about what’s available to you!

Pregnancy is more than waiting — it’s a season of becoming. The words you speak carry power, and Scripture is full of promises you can declare. You are held by the One who designed birth itself.

🌸 Save this for daily encouragement
🌸 Share with a mama who needs these reminders
🌸 Speak them out loud — let truth settle into your heart

You know what your dream birth looks like. Let me help you make it a reality.

My calendar is completely open February forward.

Just another perfect example of how you were made for birth!

There's a lot we can learn from animals when it comes to birth. After all, our needs as mammals are pretty similar!

All mammals look for safety and privacy for labor to unfold. What does that look like for humans?

✨ Creating a supportive environment- when choosing who to invite into your birth space, think of who makes you feel heard and loved in vulnerable moments? Choose a provider who you really resonate with, and use your prenatal appointments to ask questions and get comfortable with them!

✨ Invite familiarity in- what makes you feel the most at home? Bring your favorite pillow, diffuse your favorite essential oils, wear your own clothes!

✨ Release your fears- fear isn’t always an external factor. Sometime our preconceived ideas about birth are riddled with fear. Taking the time to address these fears before labor begins will make for a smoother process all around.

I revisit this beautiful thought often, and it feels extra personal right now as I prepare for the birth of my second child.
My Heavenly Father loves me so, and resting in His goodness brings peace.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬ ‭

God’s beautiful painting outside of the hospital. A lovely gift to welcome a new baby into the world. ❤️

Also, my fourth birth in a month! Things are picking up over here 🥰

You could be 0cm and have a baby before bed, or you could walk around for weeks at 4cm.

Until labor actually begins, it's unreasonable to place expectations on your cervix's progression.

When might it be helpful to know what your cervix is doing?

✨ If it makes you feel good to know you've been making changes (but remember, this can go the other way if you haven't made any changes)

✨ If induction of labor is the plan, there may be a higher chance of a vaginal birth if some change has begun

✨ If you are making decisions about how to move forward with induction, knowing the state of your cervix may impact what method you use.

The most important thing is knowing that you have the right to consent, refusal, or delay!
