The famousssss MILES CIRCUIT!

Let’s talk about it and what it’s good for 🤪

💞Encouraging baby to rotate and engage more optimally in late pregnancy (usually starting ~37 weeks)
💞Relieving low-back pressure or discomfort from a less than ideal position
💞Giving labor a gentle nudge when baby just needs better alignment (not a true “induction” if your body isn’t ready)
💞Helping early or stalled labor by creating space in the pelvis and supporting descent

Have you done the miles circuit? What did you think of it?

Birth was never meant to be treated like a medical event.

Somewhere along the way, we started treating the most natural process a human body can go through as if it’s broken until proven otherwise. 😳

Continuous monitoring, early interventions, strict timelines, and a cascade of procedures have become so routine that many people no longer recognize what undisturbed, physiological birth can look like. 👎🏼

LET’S:
💞Support the mother’s autonomy and instincts
💞Use interventions only when truly indicated
💞Restore trust in the body’s capacity to birth

As a doula, my work is to help families prepare for that possibility—whether they birth at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital. Let’s bring the focus back to the mother, their body, and their baby.

What does “making birth natural again” mean to you?

Amazing 🙌🏼

Many women say home sweet home is best when it comes to giving birth. Compared to being hooked up to wires in a hospital room filled with beeping machines, some women are choosing their own living or bedrooms as the best environment to give birth.

Fl**ge fitting is included in any of our lactation visits, if needed! We always want to ensure our pumping clients experience comfortable & effective milk removal. 😍👏🏼

Hey mamas!

As a doula, one of my favorite tools to share is the Side-Lying Release. This simple yet powerful technique, popularized by Spinning Babies, uses a gentle static stretch to create more space in the pelvis, ease tension, and support smoother labors. 🤩

Why do we love it?
❤️Increases pelvic mobility — Helps open the sacroiliac (SI) joints and free up the sacrum for better movement.
❤️Makes room for baby — Encourages optimal fetal positioning by softening and lengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
❤️Eases pain & tension — Releases muscle spasms, which can mean more comfortable sleep during pregnancy and less sharp or stall-y contractions in labor.
❤️Supports labor progress — Great for when things feel stuck or need a reset.

Thanks to my girl for the demonstration with me during our childbirth education class. 😍
