Very grateful for the wisdom passed on & the work I do 🙏🏽

The Historical Significance of Doulas and Midwives Today, Midwives are trained healthcare providers who operate both at birthing centers, hospitals, and private residences to care for and support healthy mothers and newborns before, after, and during childbirth. However, midwifery has existed for centuries prior to its earliest recorded practice in....

There is no deeper love I can ever explain than that of my children. I absolutely LOVE being a Mommy! My Mom used to try and explain this to me, but I never fully got it... until my babies were born. Today I celebrate ALL Mother’s. The Goddess who gave me life, my beautiful sisters and friends as well as all the wonderful Mother’s whose births I had the honor of being a part of. Today can be a challenging day for some, and for those I send so much love and healing energy. Today breath in the depth of what the word Mother represents in all its energy and know you are loved, you are love, and you give love through the vibration of it all! Happy Mother’s Day 💐💖

Being a labor and post partum doula, I am part of group 1B who became eligible in January. It took me weeks of constantly refreshing my browser to finally get an appointment! I woke up so grateful, excited, and just filled with genuine love knowing that each day... each step will bring us back to doing, seeing, joyfully hugging those we love!

As a postpartum doula, one of the tools I always teach new parents is the 5 S’s!!! Interesting article.... 5 S’s..... for adults 😴💗

Can’t Sleep? Treat Yourself Like a Baby Can the “five S’s” used to calm fussy babies — swaddle, side or stomach position, shush, swing and suck — also help grown-ups snooze? A reporter finds out.

This week I attend my 1st birth physically since February 2020!! All year I have supported birthing parents virtually, staying away from physical contact due to the pandemic and CDC guidelines. With PPE on and following all necessary precautions I was able to support a family through birth during this pandemic in a truly beautiful way! 2020 taught me so much gratitude and also how to support my families in a deeper way...where they could feel fully supported virtually or physically! I absolutely love the work I do! After almost two decades my eyes still water when I hear/see a little one take their 1st breath and cry! Supporting births has been a blessing I will always cherish 💖🌞

Village Obstetrics considers doulas to be a gift from heaven for any labor, an infusion of positive energy, and caring. In our view, they are an essential component of the team, especially for first labor or VBAC labor. See our website for a list of favorites.

One of my favorite obstetricians!

Are Cervical Exams Actually Necessary During Labor? We know from watching the movies that “she’s at 10!” yelled in a delivery room means a baby’s birth is imminent. The cervical check (or vaginal exam) is taken for granted as a necessary part of the birthing process in hospitals, even as the pandemic…
