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!

What is Wrong with ME?!?

What is Wrong with ME?!?

Hey there and welcome to my blog!!! I’m Amanda and I am a wife, Stay at Home Mom (SAHM) of 4, homeschooler, and mom boss. I wanted to share a bit about my journey so you could get to know me and understand how I went from infertility to mom to open-minded and empowered birthing mama!

I was at a point in my life that I wanted to be a mom and quite frankly at this point I didn’t care if I was in a relationship or not......No pregnancies EVER, no late periods, NOTHING at all!! It was frustrating. I had regular cycles and no health problems so what was wrong with me.
