Happy July 2021, all!
I know that I'm not alone in saying that the past year (or longer) has highlighted and turned my priorities inside out. I attended my last birth a week before the world seemed to shut down (which was, coincidentally, also my birthday), and have been pretty quiet since then. In that withdrawal, I focused on some semblance of control, and shortened my reach to those immediately around me. My thoughts became almost obsessive: how can I be the best version of me, while caring for my family and filling their cups from mine?
Now as the world reopens, I realize that there is only so much I truly can control, and the majority of that is: myself. While I reckon with loosening my grip of control on my kids, my partner, my home life in general, I am learning that I can control only my thoughts, my
actions and how I can apply my life to my passion: helping, empowering, and coaching women through their labors.
After a brief hiatus from actively attending births and meeting with clients, I am finding myself refreshed, reaffirmed, and ready to take clients on again. At this time, my schedule is wide open and I am available to chat, meet, and relearn all things birthy! This also means that things will start to look different in this space - more updates, designs more personal and reflective of myself, as well as new pricing.
I remain your friendly, neighborhood doula, and am eager to meet you and help you along your birthing journey, wherever you are!
