Thank you Jesus.

Stepping back into this space after taking a year off didn't feel any different and being allowed to watch this beautiful family bring their baby into this world in the comfort of their home will never cease to amaze me.

The work it takes, the strength that takes place, the intentional care, the love in the room, then there's God. The very reason for you and I's existence, the reason i'm standing in this place holding space with the highest honor of watching another precious baby be brought earth side.

I pray I never take this work for granted. The spaces im allowed into, the lives im apart of. I pray I never lose the ability to safley provide the space for these mothers to be confident in themselves and their care team; knowing they are in control, loved, and taken care of. I pray that any family I come into contact with gets to see birth as transformative and sacred just as God intended it to be.

Some of you know I was able to step back into a birth the other day and man it felt SO good. I’ve been quiet on here for the last year ( intentionally). My focus was being shifted into being more present at home. I had the honor of helping this momma navigate her move to NC, and get her established with a fantastic midwife and hoping I could be able to make it to her birth whenever this baby decided the time was right.

As I’m winding down from this birth I read another post from another midwife friend who didn’t know I needed to hear the same thing. “ I didn’t need your confidence, I needed your obedience” and man when I tell you I heard it, I did loud and clear.

This year obedience didn’t look like full calendars planning my life 9 months in advance. It didn’t look like my phone in my hand constantly waiting for the next client to call. This year looked completely different then the last 6 years were. And yet after taking a year off I STILL wondered if I wasn’t going to be “good enough” to step back into this space… but when I did, I tell you it felt like I didn’t miss a beat. Through the chaos of setting up a birth pool, helping a momma through contractions and a baby on my chest. God reminded me that just because life looks different these days doesn’t mean this life gets to take a back seat forever it’s just temporary.

Sometimes obedience means knowing that serving looks different in this season but it doesn’t make it any less important.

I pray I never take for granted the spaces I’m allowed in, I pray I’m always reminded God shows up in so many ways to remind me it’s his plan and he always has it already written perfectly.

Shoutout to Alise Emmert for capturing this moment of me and Emily. I can’t wait to share my POV. Forever grateful and humbled by this career and the life I get to live 🥹♥️

2025 ✨

What a year! I had the honor and privilege of helping 17 families in there pregancy & birth journey. For someone who only worked half the year I was actually shocked at this number 😂

2025 was BUSY. Wrapping up our time in FL ( attending my last birth 5 days before we moved 🤪) moving back to NC & then welcoming sweet baby Elaina this year was deffintley jam packed.

I’ve learned and grown so much. I advanced my education in the home birth world as a birth worker & birthing person. Every single birth I attended was filled with love, amazing providers ( FL really has it going on) and then being able to wrap up the year with my second home birth really solidified God’s attention to detail and just how amazing his plan is for me!

2026 will look different, I don’t have births on the books for clients. I do have a few special people in my life that are expecting and i can’t wait to share my knowledge & craft with them.

This season looks different ( for now) but you can find me teaching classes, and enjoying the slower pace. Our time in NC is short and I know as soon as we leave things will be returning to a new normal. I’m trying to appreciate this time being home with the kidddos, and even if I don’t have a “ full” doula / birth assistant calendar, my heart and hands are full already.

To every single one of you, thank you. Thank you for trusting and believing in me. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your birth space and I can’t believe this wraps up year number 5 as doula / birth worker. 🥹♥️

Recertified again ✨

I know I’ve been super quiet since moving to NC. But big things have been taking priority and I’m so thankful for all of it.

I recertified again as a birth doula and I’m SO thankful to have continued my education and have the opportunity to be apart of such an amazing organization.

Doula work has taken the back burner for now while we are in our final weeks of meeting our sweet little addition. ( she can make her arrival whenever shes ready) but when I’m back up and ready to take clients I’ll be posting a lot more, I promise.

Thankful for ALL the families I’ve had the honor and privelage to support and hold space for. I keep in touch with most of you, and just know you and your babies are such important parts of my life. Forever thankful. 🥹

Hello Camp Lejeune!

We are officially moved in and ready to start jumping back into the birthing world for all of you expecting families. For those that don't know I am expecting! We are over the moon to be back in NC with family and have a great birthing team to help bring a sweet babygirl into the world come September.

So what does that mean for my expecting mommas? I have opened up class dates & birth planning slots for any momma who wants to maximize their ability to utilize my services to prepare them for birth.

Birth planning - You will gain access to a birth planning platform provided by myself that will help you expand your knowledge on ALL things child birth. We will carefully review your options, go over scenarios, and ways to navigate things that mean the most to you about your upcoming birth.

Childbirth Education class- A 3 hour class designed to help you get a crash course of what your about to go through in the birthing process. This is a couples class, so your spouse/ birthing partner is required to come to maximize the most out of this experience. In this class we will cover Steps of informed decision making, Stages of Labor, Comfort measures, and Labor and pushing positions. This class does talk about the few hours postpartum, and its a hands on course!

If you have Tricare as your insurance please reach out. I am Tricare East provider and would LOVE to talk to you about how I can best support you.

Wesley Ann

This is a birth I'll probably never get over. This sweet family never imagined that after their first baby they would have to change how they were going to get there growing family.

God was so intentional with the relationships he allowed Madison to obtain when they met their surrogate. The next 9 months they developed a bond I don't think anyone will be able to quite understand.

I can tell you as there birth photographer the love I saw between two people that may have only been by fate was so overwhelming. To have a women be the vessel to carry a baby, and a beautiful babygirl be born into such a loving family. To watch a mother be able to catch her baby, and bond with her after a long 9 months. It's safe to say there wasn't a dry eye in the room.

I will post in another Big sister Brett meeting her sweet baby sister but this birth deserved a post on it's own. So grateful for the opportunities I'm given. The spaces I'm able to be in, and the love I'm able to bare witness to. Women are amazing and I'll never get over it 🥹
