💫A little throwback to 2022 and this precious boy, Soren! 🥰 I try not to pick favorites, but his birth will always be one of my most memorable! 🤍

In this picture, I had JUST come from another birth—messy hair and all! And no, my hair wasn’t red… those were the brake lights! 😂 His mama reached out, and their home was on my way, so I got to stop by for some sweet snuggles. He came right to me and let me love on him! 🥹

One of my favorite parts of being a doula is getting to see my doula babies again and again, watching them grow, and reconnecting with their moms and dads. Such a special privilege to be part of these families’ stories. 🤍

These teaching tools might look simple, but they help start some of the most important conversations about birth! 👶🤍

Childbirth education is about more than knowing when to head to the hospital. It’s about understanding your body, learning what happens during labor, exploring your options, and helping your partner feel prepared to support you.

We talk through comfort measures, birth positions, common interventions, and questions you can ask along the way. Because birth can be unpredictable, preparation also means feeling informed and supported when plans change.

✨ At Pure Birth Doula, I offer a variety of private childbirth education classes, including:

🤍 Comprehensive Childbirth Education
🤍 Childbirth Refresher
🤍 VBAC Success School

Whether this is your first baby, you’d like a refresher, or you’re preparing for birth after a cesarean, I’d love to help you prepare with greater understanding and confidence. Classes offer space for you and your partner to ask questions and focus on your individual needs.

🍂 As the leaves change, so do we. Motherhood has seasons, too. 🤍

There are seasons of waiting and growing. Seasons of newborn snuggles and sleepless nights. Seasons of little hands reaching for yours—and seasons of learning to let go a little more.

Sometimes you feel ready for the change. Sometimes your heart needs a little time to catch up.

Wherever you find yourself this fall, give yourself grace. You’re allowed to miss the season before while finding joy in the one you’re in. You’re allowed to need rest, ask for help, and grow alongside your children.

Take the picture. Enjoy the snuggles. Step outside and breathe in the crisp air. You don’t have to rush through this season or have it all figured out to find something beautiful here. 🍁

With love,
Susie 🤍

❤️‍🩹October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and today, I’m remembering my own little one. 🤍

🗓️On this day thirteen years ago—October 30, 2013—I experienced an ectopic pregnancy and lost the baby growing inside of me. A baby I already loved. A life I had already begun imagining a future with.

I had this little charm made in memory of my baby—a keepsake to honor that precious life and carry the remembrance close to my heart. Something so small, resting in my hand, represents someone I will never forget.

🤰As a doula, I have the privilege of supporting families as they welcome their babies. But I also carry the memory of my own baby whose story ended far sooner than I ever wanted. There is room for both—the joy I share with families and the quiet grief of remembering my own loss.

❣️To the mama remembering her baby: your baby mattered. Your love still matters. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, you don’t have to minimize it or put a timeline on your grief. You deserve tenderness, support, and space to remember.

Today, I’m remembering my baby and holding close every family who knows this ache. May God bring comfort to the tender places we carry, even when others cannot see them.

Always loved. Always remembered. 🤍

💥PRECIPITOUS LABOR!!!💥

This pro mama’s labor went SO FAST that I didn’t even get to be there! How’s 15 mins for ya?!

I got to come right afterwards and spend a few hours with her getting settled, breastfeeding, recovering, eating and getting to snuggle this sweet, sweet boy. Yet this family was still thankful for my support and guidance through it all.

Sometimes babies RUSH out and no one expects it to be *that* fast. This mama is so strong and has lots of little ones, but I got to experience her grace and grit as she’s overcome so many things as a Mama and she is just so inspiring and caring. Thanks to this family for allowing me to be part of your journey!

10 texts I’d rather get than “let me know if you need anything!” (newborn edition)

1. “I’m dropping off dinner Thursday. It’s already cut up so you can eat it one-handed.”

2. “No need to reply. Just thinking about you at 3 a.m.”

3. “I’m coming at 10 to hold the baby. Shower, nap, or stare at a wall. Whatever you need.”

4. “I ordered your groceries. Diapers and snacks will be there at 4.”

5. “How are YOU? Not the baby. You.”

6. “I’m folding laundry when I get there. Please don’t clean for me.”

7. “It’s okay if you don’t love every minute. You can love your baby and still be struggling.”

8. “I’ll do the next pharmacy run. Just text me the list.”

9. “I’m outside with an iced coffee. Come to the door if you can. No worries if you can’t.”

10. “You’re doing a good job. I mean it. And you don’t have to prove it to anybody.”

Sometimes supporting a new mom means doing the things she doesn’t have the energy to ask for.
Don’t just offer to help.
Show up.

🤍 VBACs have such a special place in my heart! 🤍

Supporting a mama as she finds her voice, builds her confidence, and welcomes her baby after a previous cesarean is a privilege I never take for granted. This mama’s story is one of the many beautiful VBAC success stories I’ve been honored to be part of! 🥹💪🏼

That passion is why I created VBAC SUCCESS SCHOOL—a class for mamas hoping for a vaginal birth after cesarean and, for many, a healing and redemptive birth experience.

We talk about understanding your options, preparing for labor, asking questions, and choosing a care team that truly supports your goals. You deserve to feel heard, informed, and supported every step of the way. 🤍

I have so many VBAC stories to share, and I’d love to help you prepare for yours! While no one can promise a particular birth outcome, we can work together to build your knowledge, confidence, and support as you work toward your VBAC.

✨ Message me for a free consultation and to learn more about VBAC SUCCESS SCHOOL. I’d love to hear your story and talk about how I can help!

As your doula, I bring a calm presence, comfort measures, and reassurance—along with support to help you understand your options and feel confident asking questions. I’m there for your partner, too, helping them feel involved and ready to support you. 🥰

Whether you’re preparing for your first baby, hoping for a VBAC, or welcoming another little one, I’d love to hear your story and talk about how I can support your family.
