Guiding Your First Steps Into Motherhood

Navigating the roles of doulas & midwives as first-time parents can be overwhelming. Doulas offer invaluable support but will not attend births without a medical provider. Midwives have limitations, & the so called high risks & "complications" (however they choose to define it) may lead to transfers or termination of care. The frustration of potentially losing both money AND the desired birthing experience can be so discouraging — it certainly was for us!

At this juncture, the question arises: What's the point? By the end of our first trimester, the desire to take control emerged. I yearned for the support of a loving, strong woman at my birth but struggled to find a doula willing to provide that. This is where I come in – to bridge the gap & redefine your birthing experience. I'm dedicated to guiding women on a transformative journey to reconnect with & trust their bodies, transcending the influences of mainstream media & the conventional medical system. My mission revolves around preventing the challenges most women face by offering unwavering support throughout pregnancy, birth, & early parenthood. Let's explore holistic alternatives, reclaim informed consent, & rediscover the power within ourselves. My philosophy is grounded in radical responsibility & fundamental health principles: community, purpose, diet, movement, sleep, & the innate healing potential of our bodies & nature. My commitment is to be your steadfast companion, providing valuable resources to a community of holistic-minded individuals who champion the belief that every woman deserves a fully-supported & empowering birthing experience.

Our curated free resources cater to various birthing preferences, offering valuable insights for hospital, birth center, or home births. I understand the fears surrounding pregnancy, birth, & postpartum, as I personally faced similar concerns as a first time mom. Unexpectedly pregnant, my holistic approach & past negative experiences within the medical system led to a challenging journey, including disappointing MEDwife experiences. Despite setbacks, those rejections ended up being the best redirections, leading us to the empowering choice of free birth. And I cannot thank my husband enough for encouraging me every step of the way when I doubted my own capabilities, which makes him a wonderful mentor & coach for husband's or male partners!
