APRIL BIRTH STORY 🌸🫶🏻 Part One:

First time moms are so incredible. A completely new experience, one that she has prepared long and hard for, announces the early labor stages and comes with such excitement and uncertainty. It can just look so many different ways. For this mama, her (very) early labor contractions began Monday evening. She texted that they were anywhere from 7-18 minutes apart. I told her to keep going about her evening, and check in if things picked up. From 10pm-2:30am she labored on her own, and we texted a bit, then hopped on FaceTime as it was beginning to sound more intense- but I wanted to actually see her through couple contractions. She was clearly working hard, stopping to breathe through contractions but chatting sleepily yet alert enough I could tell she had a long night ahead of her. I suggested she do the first two positions Miles Circuit and please try, try, tryyy to sleep. This is certainly true labor, I encouraged her, but it’s important to conserve energy and rest when possible. First babies often like to take their time 🙂‍↕️❤️

She labored all through the night, but contractions spaced out a bit. Unfortunately, not enough to get any good rest, though. The next morning, I got my big kid ready for school, littles situated with my mom, and by 9:30 I was on my way to support mama. When I arrived she was feeling pretty exhausted and discouraged, understandably. She had been working nonstop since about 6pm the night before! After getting a feel for her mindset and energy levels, we got to work with positioning. It was time to get this baby engaged and workin! From the time I arrived at 10am until about 5pm, she was the dream client, agreeing to every suggestion and position I threw at her - miles circuit, spinning babies, three sisters of balance, curb walking, ball movements, watching The Office (it’s not allllll bad hard or scary;) forward leaning inversions, more curb walking (that really got it going!) by 5:30 we were headed to the birth center, ready to meet a baby!!

✨ TACOMA MAMAS—this one is worth saving 🤍

💌 You’re formally invited to join me at the Mother’s Day Market on May 9th. This is an intentionally curated space to slow down, be poured into, and gather with other women in a Christ-centered community.

Think: beautiful local vendors, a place to sit and breathe, worship, and real connection—not surface-level small talk.

I would loooove to meet you!!
If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or even just curious about birth and doula support—come find me and let’s talk 🤍 I would love to connect with my former, current and future mamas as well!!
There’s even space for your little too (kids room available 🙌🏼), so you don’t have to overthink it—just come!

Save this so you don’t forget, and tag the friends you want to go with 🌿 and spread the word!!

Pregnancy has a way of bringing thoughts to the surface you didn’t even know were there. Fear. Doubt. “What if…?” spirals.

Those thoughts aren’t wrong to have! Trust me, this came straight from the memory vault of my pregnancy thoughts.
You can wrestle with them. Sit with them. Bring them into the light… But don’t stay there, sis! Because the way you actually release fear isn’t by trying harder to be calm, it’s by replacing it with truth.

God’s Word doesn’t just comfort, it anchors us deeply in truth over anxiety. It reminds us what is actually true when everything feels uncertain.

So when the invasive thought comes…
meet it with Scripture.
Meet it with truth.
Meet it with the voice of God over your birth, your body, and your baby!!

If this stirred something in you and you’re needing support, comment “Hope” and I’ll reach out to you 🤍

Availability Update!!! ✨ My books are filling for upcoming due dates, and I would love to walk alongside you in this season.

My heart feels like it could burst in this season. The kind of full that only comes when you realize… none of this was built by your own hands.

Over and over, the Lord has been gently asking me to loosen my grip, surrender my plans, and trust Him with this business, this calling, this future.
And every time I do, it’s like He says, “watch Me work.” And He has!!

To every mom and dad who has trusted me with your sacred birth space, your vulnerable prayers, your tender pregnancy journey… I don’t take that lightly. It’s holy ground every single time.

This isn’t just “busy season.”
This is obedience bearing fruit & God’s kindness on display.

And I’m just so, so grateful.

If you’ve been quietly following along, feeling that pull toward a supported, peaceful, faith-centered birth experience, this is your nudge. 🫶🏻🤍 Currently serving Puyallup, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and surrounding areas.

The art of becoming a mother is beyond words, music, or photos.
How can you capture the first flutter of feet in your belly?
How do you express the overwhelming feeling of uncertainty, mixed with a deep, unshakable knowing that this child was always meant for you?
What combination of notes could ever compare to the sound of your baby’s first cry as they enter the world?
What amount of reading, or listening to others tell their tales, could ever compare to experiencing it for yourself?
Stretching, molding, knitting, glowing… spinning, retching, snapping, crying, tired beyond belief (have I ever been this tired?)

What a treasure it is to house life. What an honor it is to be their first love, their first comfort, their first home.
May God give grace to carry, to deliver, to nurture, and someday… to release.

What words could ever describe the releasing? I can’t fathom it.
I won’t dwell on it. I’m still here, nurturing them 🌱🌱🌱

Tehe TikTok saw to first 😂🫶🏻 this is an example of when acquaintances become clients become friends 🤩

Super special that this younger girl from high school found me all these years later and asked me to be her doula! It’s been so sweet getting to know her better throughout her pregnancy and now just a few weeks away from meeting her little girl 🩷

I hope you like me, you’re stuck with me now, lady!!

I'm curious: what's your ideal birth? Homebirth? Hospital - natural, medicated, C-section? Birth center? What kinds of births have you had, and how did you like your experience?

I’ve seen a lot of different approaches to birth, and somewhere along the way it started to feel like you had to pick a lane and fully commit to it 🌿✨🌙🔮🕊️🌀 vs 🏥🛌📈📉⌚️🖥️

either super crunchy or super clinical
either all intuition or all protocol

most women I talk to don’t actually want either extreme. they just want to feel calm, informed, and supported!

that’s kind of the lane I stay in :) somewhere in the middle, informed, empowered, secure in your own choices for birth, where we’re both guided by the Holy Spirit and trusting God for the outcome of birth, since we have done our due diligence preparing, praying and now trusting! ☺️🙏🏻🌸🧺👏🏼🧠🫂☕️🫶🏻🪩🍫
