Welcome to my blog dedicated to empowering women's health! 

I believe in the power of women's bodies and their innate ability to bring new life into this world. My mission is to provide you with the latest research, personal stories, and expert advice to help you make informed decisions about your health and the health of your baby. 

As a birth worker, I help women own their power and have the birth they desire on their own terms. I love empowering women through every step of the process, from preconception to postpartum care. I can help you discover the benefits of natural pregnancy, offer tips on how to live a more holistic lifestyle, and provide you with the tools to have a positive home birth experience.

My prayer is that while you read through these posts, you discover helpful information that will elevate your journey toward optimal health and wellness for you and your baby!

Are they taking your power?

Are they taking your power?
Are they taking your power? - One of the things that keeps coming up in conversations that I find extremely disturbing is how our medical system is dictating our care and how they are training their labor and delivery teams on how to handle having a doula attending and assisting their patients in the birth of their baby........
