LouVe For You - Doula & Birth Companion

11/12/2025

This morning I had the privilege of supporting a beautiful mama with a Gentle Birth Activation (induction massage)… and just a few hours later, her labour began naturally.

Every time a mom’s body responds in its own perfect timing, I’m reminded of how powerful, intuitive, and capable women truly are.
No rushing. No pressure. Just gentle support, relaxation, and allowing her body to do what it was designed to do.

So proud of this mama and honoured to walk this journey with her.
Birth is magic — and I’m grateful to witness it every day. 🌿🤍

🌿 A Gentle Year-End Reflection 🌿

I haven’t been very active on social media this year — not because I disappeared, but because I’ve been choosing to be more present in my real life.

Looking at this screen today reminded me how easy it is to get caught up in the noise, pressure, and rush of social media. And honestly… I don’t want to live like that.

This year taught me to slow down, to be intentional, and to show up only when it feels aligned — not because of hype or expectation.

As we head into a new year, I want to keep sharing here with purpose, peace, and authenticity.
Thank you to everyone who has stayed, supported, and understood. 🤍

Here’s to a softer, more mindful year ahead. ✨

🌿 A Heartfelt Message to My Moms-to-Be 🌿

I’ve recently had a few questions about my faith and the comfort tools I use during pregnancy and birth support, so I wanted to share this openly and lovingly. 💛

Yes — I am Christian.
My faith shapes the way I support, honour, and gently care for every mother who welcomes me into her birth space.
And just as importantly: I do not discriminate against any religion or belief system.
All moms are welcome, valued, and treated with the same love and respect — always.

Along with prayer, encouragement, and a calm, grounded presence, I also use holistic comfort tools such as:
✨ Calming breathwork
✨ Guided relaxation
✨ Birth affirmations
✨ Gentle, therapeutic touch
✨ Natural stones or crystals for grounding

These tools are not spiritual practices on their own.
They don’t replace my relationship with God, and they don’t ask you to believe in anything outside of your own faith.

They’re simply comfort methods — practical ways to help your body relax, release tension, reduce fear, and create a peaceful environment during pregnancy and birth. Just like worship music, essential oils, soft lighting, or prayer can do.

Your faith, your comfort, and your boundaries will always come first.
If there is ever anything you don’t prefer, we simply leave it out.
Your birth space should feel safe, sacred, supported, and aligned with you.

I’m here to walk alongside you — with peace, integrity, and love — as you welcome the precious life God has entrusted to you. 🌸

Sharing for all the breast feeding moms... I see you, ive been you. Loads of love

I pull the blanket halfway up,
pretending it’s for the baby
but really, it’s my shield.
My heart beats louder than her little suck-suck-swallow rhythm.
Because somehow, somehow,
feeding my baby became a statement.

I can feel the stares
before I even sit down.
Eyes like spotlights.
Hands clutching lattes.
Whispers that weigh more than the diaper bag.
And me?
Just trying to give my baby what she needs
my milk, my warmth, my calm.

I whisper to myself,
“Don’t shake.”
But I do.
Because all my life I was told the other way was normal.
Shiny bottles, neat measurements, sterile plastic perfection.
And now here I am
skin to skin,
heart to heart,
doing the most ancient thing a mother can do
and feeling… wrong?

How did we get here?
How did something sacred turn scandalous?
How did the world forget
that every mammal feeds its young this way
and not one of them feels shame about it?

I am milk and fear and courage mixed together.
I am centuries of mothers before me,
whose only cradle was their chest,
whose only peace was that small sigh when baby was full.
I am them
but I’m also me
shaking in a coffee shop,
wondering if someone will film me,
or worse…
judge me.

But my baby’s eyes meet mine.
And in that look, I hear her say,
“It’s okay, Mama. You’re home.”
Right here.
In this body.
In this moment.
Doing exactly what we were made to do.

So I breathe.
And let the world watch if it wants to.
Because this this is not shame.
This is love made visible.
This is biology, bravery, and bond.
This is me feeding life.
And for the first time,
I’m not sorry.

How exciting!! This is where my journey into motherhood started. I was privileged to have a water birth with my firstborn. And wow, compared to my other birth that followed thereafter, I wouldn't trade it for the world, Genesis Clinic Women's Health & Beautiful Birth .

Midwife-led care for pregnancy, birth & family-centred care

✨ Some stories begin in joy and are shaped by loss — and yet they lead us exactly where we’re meant to be.

My journey into birthwork began with my own story as a mother. I’ve known the miracle of life and the heartbreak of loss. Losing my baby changed me — it deepened my compassion and the way I hold space for others.

It taught me that birth is never just about bringing life into the world, but about honouring every part of the journey — the love, the grief, the strength, and the surrender.

As a doula, I support both the natural rhythm of birth and the moments when medical care becomes the safest, most loving path. Because birth is not about control — it’s about connection.

Every story matters. Every birth is sacred. 🌙

It’s amazing how birth has evolved over time — imagine “going to sleep” and waking up with a newborn! In a way, we still experience something similar with modern C-sections. Years ago, anesthesia and surgical techniques were far riskier, but today, C-sections are performed safely with mothers often awake and alert, meeting their babies within moments of birth. What a shift in how we bring life into the world!

To all my fellow Doulas out there..

Dear doula,

We see you...

on those late night drives back home when your heart is pounding and you are so filled to the brim with adrenaline due to proxy-oxytocin you feel like you’ll burst.

Dear doula,

We see you...

when your plans are changed last minute again because babies don’t have calendars, and you miss yet another family dinner because you love to selflessly serve pregnant mamas.

Dear doula,

We see you...

as you wake up in the morning completely sore from 18-hours straight of hip squeezes and counter pressure because you would do anything to make her laboring easier.

Dear doula,

We see you...

while you cry in the shower trying to process when trauma and heartbreak happen and you had a front row seat but couldn’t do anything to stop it.

Dear doula,

We see you...

and we applaud you. Your servant’s heart and selfless devotion do not go unnoticed, and as long as we are around we will be giving you the recognition you deserve!

So, thank you.

You are making a difference, and you are seen!
