Ring ring baby!

So, we have signed on to work together...when do you call your doula?

If we start working together early in your pregnancy, I find it helpful to get a "touch base" call or text after your regular appointments with your health care provider so that we can address any questions or issues that may have come up.

As your pregnancy moves along, you will notice that your appointments start getting more frequent and so will our communication!

Towards the last days of your pregnancy, we are in touch quite a bit as you may be experiencing signs of early labor that tend to come and go over a certain period of time. Staying in touch will help you feel calmer and more prepared as you navigate early labor and assess the next moves.

During your postpartum period, you may have questions about feeding, pees and poos, bellybuttons, bathing and sleep schedules. I am here for all of that too.

As I always say, your doula should feel like your BFF, who also happens to know a sh*t-ton about birth! 😏

The first question that I ask in interviews is "How did we get here?"

I had a lot of interviews in these past weeks, and it was so interesting because all of the folks that I got to talk to had the most unique stories.

Everyone that reaches out for doula support does so for their own reasons. They may be coming from a complicated fertility journey, they may be in a huge life transition and overwhelmed, or they may just have heard their friends raving about their experience with a doula and are interested in exploring that option for themselves.

My job is to meet people where they are at. There is no cookie-cutter model for doula support and that's what makes my work so fulfilling for myself, and for my clients.

Tell me where you are at, how you want your journey to feel and let's take it from there 💕

Your best is going to look different from one day to the next and that's OK.

I hope you guiltlessly cancel all the plans that you aren't up to today.

I hope you are gentle with yourself and that your inner voice is kind if you don't do all the things you thought you would get done today.

Sending you all love and kindness on this rainy-ass weekend ✌💕 😘

Team work makes the dream work 💞

I have always been an entrepreneur, it's just the way my brain in wired.

That's why it was such a natural move for me to start my own business when I decided to pursue my journey as a birthworker.

I have also always been a team player, and my birthwork business was the first business that I started all on my own.

It's a cool thing to be calling all the shots, but it can also be a lonely ride... especially in birthwork, where we rely so much on community.

Being part of a team means exchanging ideas, experiences and expertise with your peers and also knowing that someone has your back in unexpected circumstances to assure that your clients will always get the best care.

I am so happy, proud and excited to be joining forces with and to be moving forward on my journey into birthwork as part of a team 💞

The ones from the dads tho 😭😭😭

Sometimes I get messages from pregnant folks saying "I am really interested in getting a doula, but my partner doesn't really see the point."

The point, my dear friend, is that I am here to teach your partners to be the best birth partner that they can be!

A huge part of our prenatal visits are about educating you, and your partner, about the physiology of birth and how to best support it.

I'm just over here, coaching the team! 💁🏼‍♀️

My heroes don't wear capes

They wear mesh un**es with mega overnight pads, leak-proof nursing bras, stretchy joggers and messy buns.

They wear stretch marks, scars and stitches.

They are sweaty and thirsty and almost always hungry.

They are strong and fierce, kind and vulnerable and they are worthy of all the praise in the world.

Google isn't always your friend...

I know that it can be tempting to Google just about anything and everything when it comes to your pregnancy and that can sometimes be helpful...and other times it can feel like falling down a rabbit hole.

Enter your doula...

Every pregnancy and birth is different, and let me tell you, I am learning learning every day and will continue to so.

These experiences have allowed me to sift through the world wide web of the internets and put together a curated list of evidence based information that I share with my clients when issues come up.

So, having a doula is pretty neat, it saves you loads of time in research and it also assures that you are getting quality information.

Skip the Google search and text your doula 😉

"Ideal client" can be such a buzzword...

I can't remember the first time I heard the expression "I am not for everyone" for the first time, but I do remember how much of an impression it left on me.

When I do "meet and greet" consults with folks who reach out for my services, I am on the lookout for a good fit...for both parties.

Entering a space as sacred as a pregnancy and birth journey is not something that I take lightly, nor for granted, and you should be picky AF as to who you allow into that space.

You can't choose your family, but you can choose your doula. You are well served to meet with a few and find your best fit.

Sometimes it just clicks, and that's the best feeling ever!

As I always say, your doula should feel like your BFF, who also happens to know a sh*t-ton about birth!

If you are curious about what it's like working with me, hit me up for a consultation and let's see if it clicks...I promise not to get butthurt if it doesn't 😉
