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!

The Realization…..

The Realization…..

The Realization…..- 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. ......
