Hello friends!

Wanted to share that at this time we are observing focus on prayer and fasting from social media. If you need us, have been referred to for care, or need anything please text or call. I realize there are going to be places I am tagged as reference and I will try my best to accommodate while observing the fact I need time to pray and put God first. We are very excited to see what 2025 does for our family, church, and business.

👉🏻Starting in February we will be recording podcast episodes in person! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 if you are interested in sharing your birth story, journey with infertility, or anything else you want to share please contact me during this time. These will be recorded in a place we are face to face. I’m so excited about this! 👈🏻

Thank you! ❤️

Although we are taking a social break- we still have 3 babies due during this break.

Please 🙏🏽 keep moms and babes in your prayers for safe birth and postpartum.

Thank you!

Walk into a room while I am supporting a birth and you might think that I am just sitting there doing nothing. I won’t be talking. I won’t be touching the client. I won’t be using anything in my bag.

So what am I doing exactly?

🪑 Watching mom’s breathing and sometimes breathing loudly alongside her to remind her to slow down her breath

🪑 Scanning mom’s body during the contraction to make sure that she isn’t holding any tension

🪑 Monitoring the temperature and lighting to create the peaceful environment that she desires

🪑 Calculating how long it has been since she emptied her bladder

🪑 Thinking about how long she has been in her current position and thinking about the next position that she might try

🪑 Timing contractions to see if they are longer, stronger and closer together

🪑 Thinking about when mom and her partner last had a snack

🪑 Reviewing her preferences to make sure that everything is going according to her plan

🪑 Giving the couple space to connect on an intimate level (allowing for oxytocin) and/or guiding the partner to be the lead support

🪑 Updating notes and capturing labor flow

Sometimes just being fully present is enough. Sometimes just knowing I am there in close proximity is all mom needs to be able to relax and focus on what she needs to do. Sometimes just holding space for them in an unbiased manner allows for a noticeable shift in the energy of the room.

And the list goes on….
