Childbirth is one of the most empowering events in a birthing person's life.
You matter. Your choices matter.

Crazy as it seems, even regarding birth, women have been trained out of trusting their own bodies and inner knowing.
Pregnancy checklist:
-
Get educated. Do not be the person who regrets decisions later because you didn't know better.
-
Work with a doula who resonates with you, supports your vision, and can give you research-based information.
-
Create a healthy, natural, fulfilling birth experience. This is possible with home, birth center and hospital births.
-
Embrace and allow support. Having a partner, doula or close friend with you on the journey is incredibly helpful. If you don't have an organic support system, create one with a doula and support team.
It's your birth. Let's figure out what you want, what is healthy, what your backup plans are, and be nurturing and loving to you while you're prepping for your huge changes.
I am extremely patient, loving and solid...and you are on a time limit, so let's get the party started.
