Definitely in the top 10 reasons why being a midwife (& independently self-employed ) is so dope…
It allows me to make my own schedule of busy-ness so that I can take in these
once-in-a-lifetime moments, particularly this summer.
Prom; Graduation; trip to Honduras w daughters; time w dad; time w friend; time w goddess-mom; birthday parties of babies I’ve birthed; open houses; golf trips; college move in day 🥹✨

Uva Ursi Infusion… I currently have a client who gets UTIs kinda frequently. Her UTI was causing uterine irritability to the tune of “possible early labor”. After several bottles of unsweetened cranberry juice and no change, it was time to bring in the bigger guns - UVA URSI.
An infusion is made from the bulk herb (steep for 4 hours to overnight) drink 1 cup every 4 hours like clockwork for 5 days. My client is feeling 100% better 🥳. An untreated UTI can lead to a kidney infection - ouch! or even premature rupture of membranes 😳 Do not over look a UTI, it needs to remedied. Uva Ursi is extremely effective but should only be used after other methods have been tried and are unsuccessful. Uva Ursi is nature’s antibiotic.

…”they’re not letting me feed him, they’re giving him FORMULA!” 😳

Celebrating Midwives Day 🌷: without even realizing it was “our” day, I spent breakfast with my most influential senior midwife. To become a midwife, we must spend years apprenticing with senior midwives who all contribute to honing our skills. It is a relationship that can mirror a good or tumultuous teenager/parent bond. We do great and serious work in moments and when you can love, respect and remain bonded with those you learn under it tis a most beautiful thang 💞

Can you guess the celebration??? 🎊 😅😁🎉

There exists true satisfaction in knowing your family is complete, just the right girls and boy or boys and girl or boy/girl or boys/girls. Life transitions, though not always easy can and should be celebrated because there’s many more experiences awaiting discovery. It tis nice to have choices and options.
