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!

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.............

In the end I gave in to having the c-section because I wanted my OB out of my life and the way I saw it once our baby was born I would have one more appointment with her and then I was done!!!

It was terrifying to go into the hospital for a surgery to meet our baby........

So I FINALLY got a positive pregnancy test and we were on our way to becoming parents. So exciting and so overwhelming at the same time. I had waited so long for this to happen!! .........

“This doesn’t mean it will stick.”...............One thing I did know was that I didn’t want a c-section.........
