I support expecting women and families physically, emotionally, and informationally as they prepare for birth! Then I provide continuous labor support, and check in post partum as well. I offer a free prenatal meeting to see if we’d be a good fit, hear about your goals/vision for birth, and tell you more specifics about my services.

Enrollment is open for the next round of my Holistic Pregnancy & Childbirth Series 💛✨I hope to begin later this month, and there are just a few spots left.

This is a 5-part virtual series…we meet weekly over Zoom (2 hours each session) on Sunday evenings at 8 pm. Classes are recorded so you never miss anything and always have it for future reference and review!

I didn’t create this course so you could memorize everything there is to know about birth… I created it so you can have such a rooted understanding of physiological birth… that you TRUST IT 🫶🏼 I created this course to be exactly what I wished I’d had access to as I prepared to become a mother for the first time.

Inside this series we cover:
• Pre-conception nutrition + preparing your body before pregnancy
• Supporting your body holistically during pregnancy
• The father’s role in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
• The altered brain wave states of labor (“laborland”) and why it’s part of the design
• The cardinal movements (baby’s journey through the pelvis)
• The holistic stages of labor + physiological birth
• Mental and physical birth preparation
• Postpartum planning + breastfeeding foundations

This isn’t about performing birth “correctly.”
It’s about understanding how intricately designed it already is.

When you understand what birth is doing…
You stop trying to control it.
You stop second-guessing it.
You begin to surrender to it.

Cost is $300 per couple (payment plans available).

If you’ve been feeling the nudge, this might be your sign 🫶🏼 Message me for details or to claim one of the remaining spots!!!

Sharing some photos from my 4th birth almost 2 years ago because I just loved that birth experience so much, and Carpe Diem Photography captured it perfectly!

🌸 Another mama’s placenta honored and prepared as medicine, with her baby’s cord preserved in a precious “M” keepsake — since baby’s name begins with M. She also requested one of her placenta prints be made to look like a tree, a beautiful symbol of life and connection 🌳✨ I think it turned out like a cute little bonsai tree 🥹

I offer package options that include:
✨ Capsules + cord keepsake
✨ Capsules + cord keepsake + tincture + artwork
✨ Artwork only

It’s such a joy to weave together two of my passions — birthwork and art — to create these treasures for mothers and their little ones. 💛

The next round of my holistic pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum course begins September 7!! I wanted to create a course that covered the wisdom and information I was longing for in my first 2 pregnancies but had no idea where/how to find it! And being intentional about taking charge of your experience begins with nourishing yourself well, prior to conception. My course includes a lot about this too!

Classes are held virtually over Zoom, so anyone anywhere can participate! Please DM me if you’d like to be included so I can get you registered! And if you and a friend take the course together, you each get $50 off! More info below 👇🏼

✨ Pregnancy + Birth are not medical events…
They are sacred, physiological, transformational rites of passage.

If you’re planning for motherhood—or already pregnant—and desiring a more rooted, intuitive, and whole-body approach to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum…
This course was made for you.

Taught live over Zoom, this 5-part series will guide you through:

🌿 Nourishing your body for fertility + pregnancy
🌿 Supporting your body’s intelligent design throughout pregnancy
🌿 The father’s role in pregnancy and birth, how he supports and serves you
🌿 The altered brain wave states of labor and how to preserve them
🌿 The Stages of Labor thru 2 different lenses (clinical and holistic)
🌿 Learning how your baby navigates the pelvis through the cardinal movements of birth, so you can trust the journey as it unfolds
🌿 Preparing for a supported postpartum, intro to breastfeeding, and supporting biological infant sleep

This is not your typical childbirth education. This is for the women who want to remember their power and trust their Creator’s design. Enrollment is open now. $300 per couple 💛🫶🏼✨

✨ Just because we can doesn’t mean we should.

We’ve become so advanced in pregnancy care that we sometimes forget the beauty in what’s meant to be mysterious.

Technology has made it possible to know almost everything about our babies before they’re even in our arms—including their gender. And while I honor that some mothers love knowing early, I also believe there’s something deeply sacred about not knowing.

Waiting to discover your baby’s gender at birth isn’t just “old-fashioned”—it’s biological. That rush of surprise can trigger an incredible release of oxytocin—the very hormone that fuels love, bonding, and helps the uterus contract after birth to protect against hemorrhage. God designed it that way.✨

It’s not about judgment. It’s about tuning into a rhythm that modern life often drowns out. We find comfort in control of knowing all we can know instead of surrendering to the mystery.

Sometimes, mystery is medicine 🫶🏼✨

This was such a powerful moment — when my friends discovered they have their first daughter after three sons 💕

❤️‍🩹 With my first two babies, I had this deep knowing that my prenatal care was severely lacking. But I didn’t know what to do about it, where to even begin, or who to talk to.

✨With my third, I chose a home birth with midwives. I left every appointment feeling like their level of care was everything I knew I needed, deserved, and longed for in my first two pregnancies.

🫶🏼If something feels off — even slightly — trust that. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and deeply held during this sacred time. Your prenatal care should be nourishing, relational, and rooted in trust. You should know your provider — and be known by them.

📋 This isn’t just about checkboxes and measurements. It’s about preparing the soil for your birth — body, mind, and soul.

🌿 If your intuition is whispering that something isn’t right, listen. You are allowed to change providers at any time. You’re allowed to choose care that aligns with your values and your vision for birth.

✨You are not “too much” for wanting more.
You are wise. You are in charge. And your care should reflect that.
