Faith & Reflection

Do you realize that a lawyer, hairdresser, or even the guy who washes your car is the same as the doctor you go to for your healthcare needs?They are all paid professions. YOU pay them to provide you a service! Meaning that they work for you and that YOU are the ultimate decision maker in everything. Yes, doctors are the ones that go to school for years and have the degrees, I’m not denying that. That does not, however, give them authority over your body...

Have you ever thought, Can I Have a Homebirth? - You were made to do this one thing without a doubt!!! Many women are more than capable of having a homebirth, EVEN when they don’t think so... If you have been thinking about having a homebirth and are wondering if it is something that you can do, I want to encourage you to seek out as much information as you can before deciding that you can’t...

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....

In today’s medical world women are not getting the care they deserve or desire and many are turning to homebirths with midwives to get what they are looking for. I was one of those women and I have now had three children at home surrounded by my family. If you have been thinking about having a homebirth and are wondering if it is something that you can do, I want to encourage you to seek out as much information as you can before deciding that you can’t. See a lot of times our mind will tell us that something is too hard or too scary and that stops us from moving forward towards our desires. 

God gave me a supernatural belief in my ability to birth our child naturally.....I have a FIRM belief in the ability of all women to be able to do this........Can we tell our body to get pregnant?.......We have little control over when we will get pregnant, how that pregnancy will go, or what our baby will look like in the end......I believe that this is true for anything you are drawn to learn or do in life!

Holding my newborn baby and staring at her for hours on end was my favorite thing to do in those first days. In those first days of having her home and figuring out what our new life looked like, we had plenty of time to just sit and think. One day as I was standing there looking down at her beautiful sleeping face in my arms I had a shocking realization that rocked me to my core.
