This hiatus wasn’t intentional… But I have REALLY missed mothers. I have really missed babies. I have missed the connection of women. And so, I am hoping to connect with some of you beautiful women in your postpartum time. Which is where the discounts come in!

I am so grateful when friends allow me to share their stories on my website. This is part two of my soul friend Brittany's story. She shares her journey of breastfeeding her baby through chapped nipples and tongue and lip tie revisions, setting breastfeeding goals, and giving of herself in ways she never thought she could. 

I am so grateful when friends allow me to share their stories on my website. This is part one of my soul friend Brittany's story. In it, she shares about how important it is to have a team surrounding you that you trust and who trusts you and your choices. She poses some questions at the end that I hope you'll really think about and consider while you prepare for your birth. 

I am so honored to share Ashley's story with you. She is my lifelong best friend and being so far from her during her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period has been so difficult for the both of us. Ashley gave birth to Eleanor January 15th, 2018. She is 8 weeks postpartum and in this blog, she shares about her struggles with breastfeeding and finding the right lactation support person. 

As your doula when we sit down to discuss your birthing options, like an epidural or pitocin, we discuss the risks and benefits for those interventions and then I step aside and give you space and respect to make the choice that is right for you. When it comes to routine infant circumcision, I would argue, and so would many others, that it's not the parents decision to make.

If you live in a city like mine, when you google doulas in your area you will get A LOT of results! Every one of those doulas is different. We all have different personalities, we all have different philosophies on birth. You can find doulas who specialize in home birth, and doulas who specialize in planned cesarean birth. So how do you choose the right one for you?
