Sarah was my first mentor in this field & I am so, so grateful for our friendship! Today was a big milestone💘

Two birth workers glowing after a beautiful, speedy, Friday the 13th homebirth this morning! 🌞 Our dear Michaela has been a PLD doula and team member since 2020, became a Certified Professional Midwife in 2024, and she's the owner of the thriving practice, Prairie Child Midwifery. But this was our very first time attending a birth together where Michaela was the client's midwife and I was the client's doula. Such a special experience working together caring for this lovely family today (who are also repeat PLD clients)!

A little heads-up 🤍

I’ll be traveling for ~5 days in mid-November for the 2026 Born Free Twins & Breech Gathering. Deepening my skills, making new connections, and taking time to recharge is part of how I honor birth & keep families safe and supported at home.

‼️Because I’ll be out of state, I may not be able to serve families with due dates close to that window. There will be other wonderful midwives still in town, but a group of us from St. Louis will be heading down for the gathering! Which is another reason I want to share this with you all now. Home birth midwives’ calendars fill up, & back-up support may be limited that week.

Just for reference, if you conceive on Valentine’s Day, your due date would be November 7th. 😉

If you are hoping to conceive soon, or find out you’re pregnant, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to chat.

➡️ I am also now full/unavailable through the end of September 2026, minus some potential room in April. But you are always welcome to reach out just in case I may be able to help or I can connect you with someone!
