The hardest part of being a doula on call isn’t always the birth itself.

Sometimes, it’s the waiting.

People don’t always realize what “on call” actually means. It means never being completely off duty. It means keeping your phone close, making sure your car has gas, thinking ahead about where you’re going, staying within a reasonable distance, and being prepared to leave at a moment’s notice.

It means trying to sleep while knowing your phone could ring at 2 AM.

It means getting a “I think this is it” text… getting your heart racing… preparing to leave… and then finding out it was a false alarm.

Then doing it all again the next night.

It can mean rearranging plans, missing things, turning down commitments, and carrying the mental weight of “What if I get called?” everywhere you go.

And the hardest part?

You can’t always predict when that call will come.

You’re still a wife. A mom. A friend. You still have a home, responsibilities, appointments and a life happening around you.

But when your client needs you, you show up.

That’s the part of doula work people don’t always see.

The birth may last hours… but being on call can take weeks. 🤍

Pooping during labour is 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 and honestly, it happens to many mamas. 🤍 As baby moves lower into the birth canal, the pressure can also put pressure on your re**um, which can create the urge to p**p. The same muscles and sensations involved in pushing can also make it happen naturally. Your nurses, doctor, midwife, and doula have seen it all—𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦! There’s no need to feel embarrassed or try to hold it in. Your body is doing exactly what it needs to do as baby makes their way down. So if this is something you’ve secretly been worried about… 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟. 🤍

If I could sit down with every first-time mama before her birth, these are some of the things I’d want her to hear. 🤍

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

You don’t have to know every medical term, every possible intervention, or exactly how your birth will unfold.

You just deserve to have someone in your corner who will listen, help you understand your options, encourage you to ask questions, and remind you that you are capable.

Birth can feel like such a big unknown—but you don’t have to walk into it feeling alone.

What’s something you wish someone had told you before your first birth? 🤍

Something exciting is coming to Simply Sacred… and I can’t wait to share it with you. 🤍✨

I’ve been working on a giveaway with someone who is absolutely incredible at what she does, and I think you’re going to love it.

But first, I need your help! 👀

Would you rather see this giveaway happen around 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 🍂 or 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 🎄?

I’d love to hear what you think, so 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐃𝐌 and let me know which one you’d be more excited about!

An incredible giveaway, a bunch of excitement, and a whole lot of love. 🤍

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗮, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆?🤎

A doula is someone who helps you feel more prepared, supported, and confident as you navigate pregnancy and birth.

But what does that actually look like?

It can look like having someone explain what to expect before labour begins.

It can look like talking through your birth preferences, learning about your options, and understanding what questions you may want to ask your care team.

It can look like having someone remind you to breathe, help you find a more comfortable position, or simply sit beside you when things feel overwhelming.

It can look like supporting your partner, too — helping them feel more confident in how they can be there for you.

And sometimes, it looks like having someone remind you that 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

A doula doesn’t make decisions for you.
A doula doesn’t replace your medical team.
A doula doesn’t promise a certain kind of birth.

Instead, a doula offers 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗰𝘆 — helping you feel more informed and supported throughout your journey.

And that’s exactly what I hope to offer through Simply Sacred. 🤍

Whether you’re looking for 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, my goal is to help you feel a little more prepared and a little less alone.

Because you deserve support that meets you where you are.

Maybe you’re feeling excited. Maybe you’re nervous. Maybe you have a million questions running through your mind and you’re not quite sure where to begin.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

I’m here to sit with you in the unknown, help you feel prepared, remind you of your strength, answer the questions you’re afraid to ask, and be that calm presence beside you when you need it most.

Whether you need support during pregnancy, someone beside you through labour, or a little extra care as you find your way through those first days with your baby—𝗜’𝗺 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

No judgement. No pressure. Just support that meets you where you are.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. 🤎

It’s about understanding what’s happening, knowing your options, and feeling confident enough to make informed decisions along the way.

We’ll talk about birth, comfort measures, interventions, what to expect, questions you may want to ask your care team, and the things that often aren’t talked about until you’re already in the middle of it.

Because when you understand your choices, you can walk into birth feeling a little less overwhelmed and a little more grounded.

My goal isn’t to tell you how your birth 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 happen.
It’s to make sure you feel 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱, 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱, 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 no matter how your birth unfolds.

You deserve to feel confident going into this. And I’d be honoured to prepare for it with you. 🤎

As your doula, I’m on call for you 24/7 from 37 weeks. When labour begins, you have someone you can reach out to for reassurance, guidance, and support—and when you need me, I’m there.

Throughout your birth, I’ll offer continuous emotional, physical, and informational support, while also supporting your partner and helping you feel con

My hope is to offer a calm, supportive space where you feel heard, encouraged, and empowered in your feeding journey. 🤍

Something sacred has been quietly taking shape behind the scenes… 🤎

And this Friday, I finally get to share it with you.

A little surprise.
A new chapter.
Something very close to my heart.

I can’t wait. ✨

There are smiles in these photos, but there was so much pain behind them.

In these first two photos, you see me laughing, smiling, and sharing funny moments with my best friend at a friend’s wedding. You see happiness. You see life happening.

But moments after these were taken, I experienced my second miscarriage.

Suddenly, my best friend wasn’t just standing beside me at a wedding. She was holding space for me as I experienced the loss of my baby in real time. She went to the bathroom with me, made sure there was no blood on my dress, and helped me process something I was desperately trying to hide from everyone around me.

A few days later, blood work confirmed what my heart already knew.
My husband and I had lost our second baby.

And then, that same week, I went to a branding shoot for my doula business — one that was also going to have some pregnancy announcement photos taken.

My photographer knew. She knew the heartbreak I was carrying, and somehow, in the middle of it all, she made me laugh. She made me feel beautiful when I felt completely broken inside.

And then there’s this photo of the three of us.

A photo that holds both pain and beauty.

Because sometimes both can exist at the same time.

You can laugh while your heart is breaking.
You can feel beautiful while feeling shattered.
You can be carrying something no one else can see.

I’m so grateful for two incredible women who held space for me in completely different ways — Josie, my best friend, who was my rock through the loss, and Magna, my amazing photographer, who helped me find laughter and beauty in the middle of heartbreak.

Two women from different parts of my life, both reminding me that I don’t have to choose between beauty and pain.

There was grief here.
But there was also love, friendship, laughter, and beauty.

And I think I’m finally learning that I’m allowed to live in both. 🤍

I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to support this mama, even from a different region. 🤎 It’s such a beautiful reminder that distance doesn’t have to stand in the way of feeling educated, heard, and supported. Being able to walk alongside her through this season, even from afar, truly means so much to me.
