Continuing to reintroduce our team….
Meet Abbie💛

“Hi. I’m Abbie! I became a doula after the joyful home birth of my oldest son. Since 2013, I have supported families through pregnancy, labor, and birth with practical guidance and steady encouragement.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University and a Master’s in Pastoral Counseling from Asbury Theological Seminary. I am trained in birth and postpartum support and childbirth education, and am thankful for a well-rounded background to guide families through every stage of the journey.

My husband and I are parents to five children—three born at home and twins born at the University of Louisville. My personal experience with both home and hospital birth shape my approach and the care I offers to every family she serves. Outside of birth work, I enjoy glamping, hiking the Parklands, baking, and spending quality time with friends and family. Can’t wait to meet you!”

If you have been loved on by Abbie during your pregnancy, delivery and into postpartum….let us know in the comments🫶🏻

Meet our Esther -

“Hello! I’m Esther. I gave birth for the first time nearly 15 years ago. It changed my life forever and sparked in me a desire to support women through the transformational journey into motherhood. Ten years ago I began supporting friends in their births and I read books on birth just for fun! I decided that maybe I wanted to do this for more than just a hobby. I decided to become a prenatal yoga teacher as a way to support women and families and shortly after I completed that training I went forward with my doula training through DONA. In 2022 I began the path to become a lactation consultant (IBCLC) and in the summer of 2025 passed my board exam!

Through prenatal yoga, I guide women in connecting with their bodies, building strength and flexibility, and preparing for childbirth. As a lactation consultant, I offer compassionate support and evidence-based guidance to help mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals. And as a doula, I provide emotional, physical, and informational support throughout the perinatal period. My passion is to empower women to embrace their innate strength and navigate the challenges and joys of motherhood with confidence and grace.

Often you can find me running my four kids to their activities, singing karaoke, or on a walk with my husband. My favorite pastime is reading a book in my hammock. I consider myself an extroverted book nerd who always has a book in her bag and an audiobook on her phone! I am excited to partner with you on this beautiful journey of birth and new beginnings.”

We are so blessed to have her on our team and have her walking with women through such a huge and transitional time in their life🌷

Holding Space…

“I’ve got you”
“You’re doing it”
“There is no hurry”
“One wave at a time”
“Every wave has a beginning and an end”
“I’m here IF you need me”
“I’m here WHEN you need me”
“I’m your constant in this room”
“You aren’t alone”
“You are so close, almost there”
“Look at you, you did it”
“Soak it in momma”

Time for a little reintroduction of our team!

Meet our Sydney -

“My name is Sydney Palacio Diaz! I grew up in San Diego, CA and moved to Louisville, KY as a young teenager. I was originally a math teacher, but was completely transformed by my first pregnancy and birth experience. I had my first at home after a long and challenging 40+ hour labor; though it was incredible and empowering, it would have made a huge difference to have a doula there to see me through. This sparked a desire to give other women the support I wish I would have had. I did my first doula training with ToLABOR when my oldest was about a year old. I have since completed continuing education with BBTW. I also made sure to have a doula present at my second and third home births, and can say firsthand: there is truly nothing that compares to women supporting women.

My goal is to provide emotional, physical, spiritual, and educational support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and birth. I am also here to advocate that your care be evidence-based and patient-centered. My desire is for you to leave your birth experience feeling confident and empowered as you enter in to the next stage of your motherhood. Every birth I attend makes me more and more passionate about this work.

When I’m not supporting women as a doula or home birth assistant, you will probably find me hanging with my husband and my 3 kiddos, cooking or baking sourdough bread, reading a good book, attempting to learn piano, or trying to catch up on laundry. I can’t wait to meet you and get to know you!

We are BLESSED to have her on our team - pouring into women ….their families, their birth spaces and the birth community in Louisville! 🌼

Celebrating Midwives this week👏🏻

Midwifery care is no new concept. However, the impact it’s making in our world today is immense. We live in a world where women often don’t feel seen, don’t feel heard, don’t feel fully informed and don’t feel held in vulnerable spaces — midwifery care is changing that.

Countless women who have their care through midwives can attest to this. The difference they feel is so real.

Midwives - thank you for holding space, advocating, listening, honoring, trusting, being gentle - the list goes on and on and it doesn’t go unnoticed! Thank you for the work you do!

When you manage the intensity of labor well, it becomes your friend. One step closer to your babe with each wave.
