<strong>If You’re Looking for a Pregnancy Blog...This Ain’t It</strong>.&nbsp;

This space is intentionally set for all, whether you are thinking through paths to conception, expecting, parenting, or living happily kid-free – wherever you fall on the journey! Welcome!

Honest moment: When I was carrying my Littles, I was in grad school the first time (Anyah) and my husband was in grad school during the second pregnancy (Judah). One of my financial “turn-offs” from birth work(er)s was that they were only there for a small portion of the journey – 9 months and some change. Whatever they could do in nine months, I was “sure” I could do on my own (eh.). 

The difference with my philosophy of birth versus others you may encounter, is that I am not here to just equip you or someone you know for the next nine months. I am here to help you acquire skills for a LIFETIME of ups and downs, loving, losing, and loving again. I will show you how to support yourself even when the doula support is long gone. In essence, this is what birth should be right? An experience that empowers us for the rest of our lives. 

I want our community to know the stages and phases of birth, but I also want you to know how to make it through those moments where your toddler (or partner - HA) is anticipating your attention and you may not have the mental room to think through who you are, who you are becoming, or what your goals may be. 

This space is designed for those who are not only ready to walk into an empowered birth, but an empowered life.
