How about a new logo?? Kind of excited and nervous with a touch of imposter syndrome. This was a big step in putting myself out there professionally but it is done!

Does the world of possibility of being a new mom excite you the way it excites me?! It is a magical, mysterious time but the possibilities are endless. Don't let that weigh you down. Allow it to set you free! As blank slate, you get to try and fail and try again. You get to grow and shift and define what being a parent looks like for you. And you can do that no matter how many kids you already have!

What do you want your ever-changing life to look like? You get to define it. YOUR POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

There is so much courage in birth! The unknown and the pressure are strong but every birth comes from one person who is strong enough to say, "this is worth it".

Having a baby is not for the weak and every person who has done it is the strongest person I know.

Even a planned pregnancy comes with a lot of questions and uncertainty. Once you've come down from the initial excitement, it is time to make that to do list and start planning. Is a doula on your list? It should be!
Will Google answer all your questions?
Does your OB/midwife answer your texts?
Who's going to help keep your partner calm in the moment?

A Doula is your guide through it all. They will help you and your partner navigate the questions, the information, the emotions. No question is the wrong one, no information is too complicated, and no emotion is too big.

What questions do you have about hiring a doula? Contact myself or to start navigating early!

Or late! If you are wishing you had hired a doula sooner, it isn't too late to see if we have openings!

Get yourself a lifting partner who encourages you and works with you even when you are worlds apart in skills and abilities. has pushed me to do what I am able to through my pregnancy and now beyond. She never lets me feel down about not being where I was compared to where I am now. She reminds me that the work is more important than the skill level or the progress. Listen to your body and just keep moving!

The post partum phase has been so hard on me as an athlete. The culture tells me that I should be further along than I am now but that wasn't the case for my body. I inherently knew when it was ready to push myself further and when to slow down. It isn't always that easy but I spent a lot of time listening to my body and respecting her wishes so that I could honor her now and treat her with patience and grace.

Always be yourself. Unless you can be a flying unicorn, then be a flying unicorn. 🦄

You gotta be you! This is back to remind you that your journey is your own. If you are doing things differently than someone on the internet recommended but it works for you, then keep rocking! If you are struggling when everyone appears to be thriving, know that your path is different and that's OK! Just because your journey doesn't look the same as someone else's doesn't mean you are failing.

This goes for your:
pregnancy
post-partum
parenting
Most aspects of life!

Surround yourself with those who support your journey. 💞
And don't forget the value of a doula. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend people and don't let anyone fit you into their boxes! 🌟

You know I believe in proper training and birth is no different!! Check out this great guide from . Normally, this is not available for the general public so take advantage of this awesome offer from a doula and pelvic floor PT!

Reposted from Y’all, birth is an athletic event. You would never run a marathon without training. Birth is no different.

There is an entire module dedicated to training your body for birth inside of The Birth Blueprint online course.

The best part? The course comes with a resource guide that provides you with the exact, evidence-based blueprint of how and when to implement each of these strategies during your pregnancy in order to achieve the best outcomes.

DM me the word “Blueprint” if you are ready to hear more!

Remember — introductory pricing ends tomorrow so don’t wait ❤️

She does what she wants. Social norms do not apply. She will choose violence on the daily.

Anyone else with a different kind of baby? These pandemic babies are telling the world that it is irrelevant and that they will do as they please!

But it is a reminder to not compare your journey to anyone else. Especially not someone you see only on social media! These babies know that it will do NO good to compare your pregnancy, your delivery, your recovery, your post partum, your baby, or your family to anyone else.

These babies are wise so let's listen!

My babies. ♥ 15 years apart and that always gives people pause. The reason that people don't expect for why there is a gap is because there was a loss in between. For October and Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awareness Month, I want to honor the baby that almost was by honoring the 2 that made it to the outside.

My loss was hard and a bit traumatic and I'll talk about it if you want but my message here is about how scared I was to get pregnant again. I felt like I coped with the loss well and I framed my moving forward with a "what will be will be" mentality that felt healthier than being mad at the calendar for another month going by without being pregnant again. But really... Really I was terrified of being pregnant again. Every month was a bit of a relief instead. I carried that fear with me even 12 years later when pregnant. Every test early on was so much scarier waiting for them to tell me that this baby wasn't going to make it. I didn't want to go through it again. I didn't want to grieve. I barely grieved the first time and buried it deep inside instead.

That is why this month is important. We shouldn't be burying our grief. We shouldn't be feeling like it doesn't mean anything or that people won't get it. I felt like a burden to try to share my emotions with others who had no connection to the life that could have been.

I need to remember and honor that moment and I hope that, if you are struggling, you will honor it too. Share that with me if you feel comfortable. 💛 Grieving is not a burden. Find someone to talk to and make sure your partner does as well. Remember, having a doula for your rainbow baby can help you and your partner work through those fears.

If you have a way that you found to honor that life, please share that as well!!

Here's where I am supposed to say that their smiling faces will make everything all better. But that's not always the case, is it? Sometimes it is gloomy out and sometimes it is sunny but sometimes the tears come anyway. But then that face smiles so goofy at you and you smile a little in return but the fact that it doesn't make the tears stop makes you feel worse.

What I am here to tell you is that you aren't alone! These hormones are still surging and the sleep is limited and the pressure is high and you are NOT ALONE IN THIS FEELING.

I hope knowing you aren't alone makes you feel better, it is less daunting! But it might not. 🤗 And if it doesn't make you feel better then ASK FOR HELP.

🧡 Ask for time to yourself.
🧡 Get yourself a postpartum doula.
🧡 Contact a mental health professional.
🧡 Pop that kid in a stroller and get both of you a change of scenery and vitamin D.

DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET EASIER. it doesn't really get easier as they get older, you just learn how to handle it differently. So do yourself a favor and get the help now. SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
