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? - 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........

Homebirth after C-Section - It is POSSIBLE!!! - So he agreed to having the homebirth I wanted..... I NEVER doubted myself, my body, or my baby in being able to do this thing!!!!!.....GOD gave me a Supernatural Belief in what HE had created my body to do......I missed my OB appt for my 39 week check up.....Back Labor is hard!!!......I wish I knew some of the things that I know now to deal with that.....

Taking Charge Through Pregnancy - Being pregnant again was such a blessing and looking back it still amazes me that it was soooo easy. After trying for so long for our first and having to get fertility help, getting pregnant right away when trying again and then losing that baby…….So there I was realizing that I didn’t want to take my chances with this medical group and have someone I didn’t trust involved in my care in any way.....This time around I didn’t let the doctor dictate to me how or what I would be doing......

Deciding to try again and what that looked like for us.

Deciding to try again and what that looked like for us - A little over a year after our daughter was born we decided that we wanted to have another baby.........Since we were unable to conceive on our own the first time, we weren’t sure what trying again would look like. We hoped for the best of course but again, would it work or would it be a challenge again?.......there wasn’t a fetal pole and had to get some bloodwork done to determine if I was in the process of miscarrying...........

I didn’t know what I didn’t know!

I didn’t know what I didn’t know! - But I do know now! Have you ever been at a point in your life where you follow ALL the things, don’t question the ‘experts’, and just go with the direction others are TELLING you is the best way?

That is what I did with my first pregnancy and by the end.............
