NORA tea is GREAT around your period… sometimes it doesn’t always cut it. 🤷‍♀️🥂

One thing I wish more people understood about postpartum is that you can desperately need support AND feel completely overwhelmed by having people around you.
You can want someone to talk to but not have the energy to host. And while I would NEVER expect to be hosted by a postpartum mama, some of us moms just don’t know how to turn off the hosting part of us (🙋‍♀️guilty).

You can feel lonely and overstimulated at the exact same time. That doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful. It means you’re a human being going through a huge transition.
When we plan for our postpartum friends and family, we need to make room for the kind of support that actually feels supportive to the person receiving it, and sometimes that’s not how we would traditionally give our support🤍

Reminiscing on the my first birth client that wasn’t family.. this day was so special for me and I thought 13 years later, I would love to share the story with you!

April 24th, 2013. I was living on a naval base with my husband in a modest townhouse. Above me lived this lovely lady with her daughter. Her husband was deployed so I would often go over to see how she was doing and help out with her daughter. We didn’t know each other for long but we quickly grew trust for one another. She knew I worked in health care and that I had supported births before but we never discussed having me as her doula. Honestly, I didn’t even realize at the time that what I had been doing for family was doula support! I always said I was their “birth support buddy”. (Which basically… yeah). I thought that the only way to truly have a career in birth work was to be an OB and my heart was set on working in Emergency Med indefinitely.

I was home one afternoon after coming off of a 12hr night shift when I hear a knock at my door. It’s my neighbor, laboring HARD. She had no way to the hospital and needed a ride. Once I got her to the hospital, I immediately knew I couldn’t leave her side. Even though we didn’t know each other super well, I knew that as a woman, I needed to be there to provide her reassurance, comfort and support. I stayed with her for the entirety of her labor and birth and the immediate postpartum until her sister arrived (who had a new babe herself).
This day changed everything for me. Because this was the first time that someone who knew very little of me trusted me in their most sacred space. I am forever grateful for this day and the incredibly strong woman. And I am forever grateful for how this helped shape me into a birth worker.

What an incredible privilege it is to be a doula and be welcomed into these moments. I am not just trusted into a birth space, I’m trusted with their fears, hopes, vulnerabilities and their families and I do not take that lightly.

And then to receive messages like these from my clients 🥹 I will never get over how blessed I am ♥️

Postpartum is full of contradictions! That can come with guilt, but know that you are not alone in these feelings.
You can love your baby more than you knew was possible and still miss pieces of your old life. You can want help and want everyone to leave you alone, and you can feel deeply grateful for this season and still find it to be extremely hard.
Having one feeling does not cancel out the other.
If you’re postpartum, give yourself grace in this time. You are changing and becoming a whole new person; allow yourself to become the mother you are meant to be.

Spokane is my home, and watching our community walk through these wildfires has been heartbreaking.

For a limited time, 100% of the proceeds from every copy of Searching for Sasquatch: A Spokane Summer Adventure will go directly to those affected by the wildfires. Signed copies are available at no extra cost.

If you’ve been thinking about picking up a copy for your family, now is a meaningful time to do it. Every purchase helps support our neighbors while celebrating the city we all love.

Thank you for helping me turn a children’s book into something that can give back to our community. ❤️

These last few days have been heavy.

Like so many families in our community, my own family has been affected by the wildfires. Watching our beautiful Spokane area hurting like this has been heartbreaking, and I know many of you are carrying so much right now.

To all of my Lilac Birth Co. clients: I have sent an important message through your DoulaDo portal with updates about appointments, resources, and what support will look like over the coming days. Please check your portal when you have a quiet moment. If you don’t see it, or if your situation has changed, please reach out to me.

Please know this: your well-being matters more to me than keeping a schedule. If you need to reschedule, if you need to vent, if you’re worried, or if you simply need someone in your corner, I’m here.

I’ve been thinking especially about my pregnant and postpartum families. Carrying or caring for a baby during a natural disaster is something no one should have to do. Be gentle with yourself. Rest when you can. Ask for help when you need it. There is no prize for doing this alone.

Today, I’ll be praying for every family who has evacuated, every home that is threatened, every firefighter and first responder standing between us and these fires, and for our community as a whole. I truly believe we’ll see brighter days again.

Please stay safe, check on one another, and know that you are loved.
