PART 2

So back to my client who had that wave of emotion come up mid-treatment.

Here's the piece that explains it. The lungs aren't just about breathing, they're tied to the part of you that holds physical sensation in the body. So when we do work like cupping, especially around the chest, and we release physical tension, sometimes whatever's been sitting underneath that tension comes up too. Her body was holding something, and the treatment gave it somewhere to go — right on schedule, according to everything we just talked about with Earth and Metal.

And the emotion connected to the lungs is grief.

But grief doesn't just mean you lost someone. It can be grief over a boundary that got crossed and you never really processed it. Or a version of yourself you've grown out of. Or a relationship that changed and you never quite mourned what it used to be.😔

By the end of her session she was exhausted but calmer.

So here's what I want you to take from this. If something like this happens to you in a treatment, or honestly just in your regular life over the next few months, your body is just doing exactly what this season asks of it. And if you can let it move instead of fighting it, you'll probably learn something about what you've been carrying.

I'm curious 🧐 has something like this ever hit you out of nowhere?

Part 1:

It's the beginning of September and we're still deep in some kind of heatwave 🔥 so why am I talking about the coming fall season?

In Chinese medicine, the five elements nourish each other in a specific order, and Earth nourishes or generates Metal. Right now we're actually in Earth season (late summer), and Metal season of fall (Lung organ and grief related emotion) — is what comes next.

Whatever we're doing for ourselves during this stretch, even in this heat, sets up how we move into the next season.

I saw this play out with a client this week. And I want you to learn something from it.

More on that in part 2.

Some days my WhatsApp looks like this 🐥💕

Back-to-back baby journeys, each with their own shared space for questions, planning, check-ins, guidance, and staying connected every step of the way.

These whatsapp groups become a place for birth bag prep, last-minute questions, helpful videos, and those first newborn photos that never stop melting my heart.🫠

It’s one of my favorite parts of accompanying families as a doula, and seeing them line up like this reminds me how lucky I am to do this work.

It's a busy baby season… and my heart is full!!

Part 2 -
Birth doesn’t begin with labor, it begins long before. Every woman is different, every family is different, every birth is different, and that is the beauty of this work.

Being a doula means more than showing up for the moment of birth. It means walking the journey — through solid birth education and body preparation, emotional presence, and partnership.

This week reminded me of this so deeply. Every Mama I work with has different fears, different desires, different bodies, different histories, different homes waiting for their baby. And there is space for all of it.

My work is not just teaching about the stages of labor. It’s walking alongside women through pregnancy — helping them prepare their body, move through emotions, clear fears (it’s ok to have them), build trust, and learn how to communicate and advocate for themselves.

And when birth comes, I am there as many things:
🐣 A steady presence.
🐣 A bridge between family and staff.
🐣 A translator of language and options.
🐣 A set of hands — sometimes literally holding a monitor in place so there’s no false emergency. Or squeezing literal life out of her pelvis
🐣 A teammate, working together with the staff who learn to trust me as we create the best possible outcome.

And yes, sometimes I’m literally standing on a bed rocking hips, crouching in the shower, holding up a birth ball so it doesn’t roll, or letting a woman lean her entire weight on me with one leg on my shoulder. Who needs the gym? These births were workouts in themselves. 💪🏋🏻‍♀️

I do this work because I CANNOT not do it. Because people inspire me. Because birth holds too much beauty and power to resist.

And because every time a new life comes into the world, I am reminded again why I love what I do.

Birth is not predictable. But it is always powerful. Always life changing.

Friday night I finally arrived home close to 11pm. The last time I had a full night’s sleep? Tuesday.

Nothing about this week could have been planned. One client went more than a week before her due date, another two weeks after. Within 24 hours, I found myself at two different hospitals, supporting two different families through two very long, very powerful labors – around 20 hours active each!

I am inspired. I am (was) exhausted. I am (and will continue to be) in awe.

Each birth was unique, with its own challenges, its own beauty, and in the end — two perfect babies in their parents’ arms.

And that is what keeps me coming back: the unpredictability, the strength, the power of birth, and the privilege of being invited into these intimate moments.

Stay tuned for part 2… I want to share more about what this really means for me as a doula, and what I believe the heart of this work is. (Just as soon as I get a moment to catch my breath).
