My May birth turned into an April birth, with this mama welcoming her sweet baby earthside safely at home, surrounded by her other babies and a wonderful birth team.
A literal dream birth!
I’m so thankful I was invited into this special space and able to support this sweet family

This birth was such a beautiful example of moms being left alone and able to experience physiological birth in the hospital space 💓 So incredibly thankful for these sweet clients inviting me along for their journey into parenthood, and to be able to support mama through her unmedicated birth. This is the first client I’ve had BREAK a labor comb, tooth by tooth 😂 and they’ve since framed it!

My 🌎 & my ☀️. So very grateful for the journey these two little souls have invited me along for.
My purpose truly lies in motherhood and supporting motherhood, and I couldn’t imagine another path for myself, no matter how hard it may get.
Thank you all for being on this journey with me and for inviting me onto your own 💓

I thought I had posted this one, but I guess I didn’t!
This sweet mama was hopeful for a vbac, but opted for another cesarean due to pretty bad preeclampsia showing its face at 37 weeks. Regardless, I’ve been supporting her family postpartum for the past few weeks and have loved getting to bond with this family and establish a new family dynamic with adding their second babe to the picture 💓

This and no one telling me I can’t birth at home 💓
We’re coming up on my littlest baby’s 4th birthday, and I will forever be proud of home birthing him, and bringing him into the world on my terms.
If you had a home birth, what’s something you loved about it? I love being undisturbed and in my own space, as well as pushing my limits and trusting my body!

Mama worked so hard to bring her baby earthside after 36 hours of labor, and did an awesome job pivoting and advocating for herself when she needed to💓

Birthwork is so special, and so important. I’m so honored to be in this space and to be apart of so many important life events, milestones, traditions, and families.
A frequent comment made to me is “I don’t know how you do it.”, and as a full time working doula, homeschooling mom of two, with too many hobbies, neither do I! But I do it for the families that seek me and know they need me, for the mamas who need the help coming into their power, for the families that need support with a new family dynamic, for the first time parents that don’t know what they don’t know, and so many others. It has been so healing to be able to offer guidance and support that I myself didn’t get as a mom, and I really can’t express enough how grateful I am.
Thank you to those who have welcomed me into their families during such a special time 💓
