No one needs a doula. But you deserve one.

And believing that from early on in your pregnancy will change your entire experience. 🤍

Two different moms, two different birth plans… similar outcomes, neither of which was expected.

Doulas don’t provide guarantees, and most of us don’t even care what you decide. We just want you to feel as informed & present as possible from belly to birth (and beyond). ✨


If you’re prepping for birth, make sure there will be someone in the room reminding you that healthy baby, healthy mom and how you feel are all important. 🤍

And don’t miss kissing my kids goodbye, wishing my husband good luck with bedtime, chugging some electrolytes + a protein bar and jamming out to my fav song. 🤍

Honoring National VBAC Day is about so much more than a birth outcome.

It’s about learning to listen to your inner voice.

It’s about finally understanding that you’re in charge of your birth experience.

It’s about connection and community, solidarity and not feeling alone anymore.

It’s about trusting your intuition.

It’s about letting go of control and having the confidence to step forward.

It’s about leaning in, making one good decision at a time.

It’s about letting the whole refining experience change the way you mother and cheer for other mothers.

No matter the outcome. 🤍


To the moms who have gotten their VBACs and the ones who haven’t (I’m one of both), choosing a VBAC takes a certain kind of courage. And, if you let it, the journey will change the trajectory of your life.

No matter the outcome. You chose it, you’ve walked it… Happy National VBAC Day. 💙

It was only just a guess anyway. ✨

But really, take it from someone who had four babes born healthy & safe well past their “due dates,” I get it.

Late pregnancy is tough physically, but things really get weird mentally & emotionally once you hit that 40-week mark.

Hang in there, your body knows what to do if you give it the space & time. One of the biggest influencers of when labor starts and how it progresses is your ability to surrender to the process.

Call me if you need a reminder. 😘

Walk. Every day.

Eating dates > drinking red raspberry tea.

Hire a doula who feels like a soft & sturdy place to land.

Not everyone will get why you’re choosing this. Some will try, some won’t. Learn who you want to share details with and who you don’t.

Even with a supportive provider, you might feel like every prenatal appointment puts you on defense.

Process your last birth & move whole-heartedly into a new experience.

Find a place to ask questions, listen to stories and walk away feeling encouraged (you’ll love Lily Wyn & Paige Lloyd | VBAC Educators | Podcasters | Doulas if you haven’t plugged in there yet).

Learn about every choice you’ll have and build a plan based on what feels right to you.

Stay home as long as possible.

Make one informed decision at a time. You don’t owe anyone a commitment.

Trust your intuition and then… lean into labor. ✨

Lastly, you’ve got this. And I’ll be waiting to hear every single detail. 🤍

You should learn about birth.

You should make informed choices.

You should choose what’s best for you.

You should share your preferences with your team.

You should get so freaking hyped about your vision.

And…

It will be in your favor to accept that things likely won’t go exactly to plan.

But because you are educated and you’ve built the team, you can remain confident that when things get weird, you’ll make one right choice at a time.

And that’s how you find yourself on the other side of birth feeling like you’re a super hero.

Because you are. ✨🤍😘

The unpredictable schedule & hours. The long & hard births (you know who you are 😘). The ebb & flow of business in an already uncertain economy.

Birth work is unmatched when it comes to fulfillment and sacredness, privilege and relationships.

But it’s also heavy sometimes.

And when it gets stressful or overwhelming, I have to remind myself of the many times where my voice was the only one in the room that validated, my eyes were the only ones that saw the discomfort, my presence was the only one that calmed the fear.

And there are more mothers out there to mother through birth. What a privilege. 🤍

If you’re a doula, you know this. You do and are this. Keep going.

If you’re looking for someone to be this throughout your pregnancy, birth & postpartum… start building your team. You deserve it. ✨

Adding a doula to your birth plan isn’t free. There’s an investment there… of time, vulnerability and money.

And because most insurance plans don’t cover doula support, we always had to make some sacrifices to cover the cost.

For me (and my husband), hiring a doula was a reassurance. We both valued having someone we intentionally chose walking beside us through pregnancy, birth & postpartum.

Helping us plan a VBA2C, guiding us through early labor, being a physical & emotional foundation in active labor and offering a soft place to land postpartum…

all of this was worth much, much more than a bougie stroller to us.

We shopped what we already had, we thrifted & bought gently used, we found rhythms & formed new habits and we were really intentional about what mattered.

I get it. Hiring a doula is a cost, in more than one way.

But the support is honestly worth so much more than all the things society tells new parents they should have.
If you’re curious about what hiring a doula would look like for you, I’m happy to chat anytime, no strings attached. 🥰

Important info from a knowledgeable source!

The air quality is obviously terrible right now due to the wildfires in Canada. For all of our pregnant folks, here would be our recommendations for getting through this!

- Use HEPA Filtration: Run an indoor air purifier with a true HEPA filter to remove fine smoke particles (PM2.5).

- Inhale Clean Steam: Use a plain hot shower or a distilled-water facial steamer to loosen mucus and soothe nasal passages.

- Saline Nasal Rinses: Use a sterile saline spray or Neti pot to flush ash and irritants out of your nasal cavities.

- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your throat moist and help your respiratory tract trap particles.

- Wear an N95 Mask: If you must go outside, use a well-fitted N95 or P100 respirator to filter out fine particles.

Stay safe!
