🎨Welcome back to Parent Art!

One of my favorite parts of teaching is asking parents to pause… reflect… and draw.

Not for perfection.
Not for talent.
But for clarity.

Because birth isn’t just something you prepare for physically, it’s something you visualize, feel, and begin to understand from the inside out.

Every time I do this exercise, the drawings are different.

Different stories.
Different fears.
Different hopes.
Different definitions of peace.

And honestly… that’s what makes it beautiful.
So I think Parent Art needs to become a thing.

A recurring little art show where we get to witness how families are imagining birth, motherhood, transition, and themselves.

Consider this your invitation to keep tuning in… because there will be more.

Which drawing would you stop and stare at first?

A Day of Maternal Movement

This was more than a class, it was space to pause, breathe, connect, and prepare.

From our Moms & Babies morning session to our intimate partner birth prep in the evening, every movement was intentional. Every detail was placed with love. Every family left a little more connected.

Birth preparation is not just about labor, postpartum is not just about recovery, it’s about trust, support, learning and transforming how we move through life’s biggest transitions together.

Thank you to every mama, partner, and little one who shared this beautiful day with me

This Saturday, we move.

I’ll be stepping into the Beloved Yoga space for a full Day of Maternal Movement… and if you’ve been feeling the nudge to reconnect with your body, this is your invitation.

There are so many ways women try to prepare for birth and postpartum. Staying active, strengthening, pushing through.

But this day is about something deeper. It’s about learning how to move with your body not against it.

Together we will soften where you’ve been holding, strengthen where your body is asking for support, and breathe in a way that actually carries you through intensity… in birth and in life.

Saturday, April 25
Three ways to join us:
• Birth prep movement
• Postpartum restoration
• Partner connection session

Whether you’re preparing, recovering, or simply craving a moment to come back to yourself… there is space for you here.

If you’ve been thinking about ways to move through motherhood, be it pregnancy, birth, or early postpartum, this is your sign.

The more the medical team has to monitor, the more likely they are to function like lifeguards. They are left constantly asking themselves, "Is she still ok in the pool? Or is it time to take her out? "

These days mothers are stating that they don't want too many interventions yet many expedite getting epidurals, an intervention that requires more monitoring.

Monitoring is an intervention.

So many are fearful of labor and birth in this season. They are afraid of the waves. Scared to get in the water.

But people used to be fearful of water too and now, we know how to move in it and with it.

Labor deserves that same energy.
Prepare to get in. Learn how to swim.

Sometimes all you need is a simple setup.
A circle. A mat. A moment to arrive.

To move, soften, to be seen and held in conversation, energy, and flow.

This is how women return themselves.
This is how we remember we were never meant to do this alone.

I've been seeing more babies being referred to physical therapy…and it’s not always about not having enough tummy time.

It’s also about how much time babies are spending flat on their backs, period.

Babies are designed to be upright, held, and moving with us.

That’s where they build:
• head control
• core strength
• body awareness (proprioception)
• balance and coordination (vestibular system)

This is just another benefit of babywearing and why it can be so powerful.

Not just for bonding… but for development too.

This month at Beloved Mothers Circle, Laci from .co is coming to guide us through babywearing, what it supports, and how to do it in a way that feels good for both you and baby.

If you’ve been curious, this is your space to explore it.

Join us at
I’d love to see you there!

Hugs and good vibes to the moms managing "The Double Peri" season of life.💖

I believe the mature pregnant mother increase is Divinely designed to shift the maternal Healthcare system.

Why?

Because mature mothers don't play the radio. (See how I showed my age just by making that statement.🤫😉).

One of you explain it to the younger mothers. 😅🤣🤣😂

Love you all.

Please keep advocating for yourselves to shift things for the next generation of birthing parents... your children. 🙏🏿💕

What if the stories we’re sharing are actually part of the problem?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately because I'm heart alot of new and expecting moms sounding confused, overwhelming with anxiety and it's causing them to freeze in fear. I'm seeing less self-advocating and more surrender to medical interventions.

Cesarean rates aren't decreasing, epidurals and inductions of labor are increasing. And, providers are always the cause.

Moms are tapping out of of fear.

When we share birth stories, it’s kind of like a game of telephone.

It gets passed from person to person, and things shift along the way. But even before we share it, we’ve already started shaping the story in our own minds. We replay it, we attach meaning to it, we fill in gaps without even realizing it.

So, by the time we tell it, are we even telling what actually happened?

Need to process? Never to late to process your birth with a therapist or check out:

The stories you’re sharing, are they helping someone move forward, or keeping them stuck before they even begin?
