Much to the surprise of the medical community, a recent study showed that pitocin is linked to postpartum depression. The mothers aren't surprised.

Birth is beautiful, no matter how a child enters the world.

My family has grown and I'm so thankful! Easton Bruce McFadin was born August 23rd at 4:43am, in the comfort of our own home.
I'm currently taking time off from attending births while soaking in all the newborn snuggles I can!
I'll be accepting new clients starting January 2017!

I'd say learning the art of Bengkung Belly Binding on my 27 week pregnant belly was not the easiest, but I had such a great time learning at the workshop today! This is such a great benefit to all postpartum moms, helping them feel secured, supported and taken care of.

If you are interested in having belly binding done please send me a message!

"Focusing on an EDD (estimated due date) can set a woman up for often unnecessary fetal well-being tests, unnecessary induction, and the increased potential for serious risks during childbirth." -Trina Hampton

This is incredible!

We know sharing this captured moment will bring many different emotions to surface, but regardless it's an incredible sight!

Sending love to all the Mothers with children that live on in our hearts instead of on Earth.
You are not alone in your journey and pain.
Your children are loved and remembered.
Thinking of all of you this Bereaved Mother's Day.

Thinking of the families who have lost a baby on this special day 💕

Amazing!!

Incredible! This is what your babies look like in the womb.

Twin babies born at home in the water. Twin A was breech and Twin B was born 16 minutes later in the caul. Wow! They were both 6+ lbs and born at almost 39 weeks.

You know you're a doula when it feels almost like Christmas morning when you have to wake up at 6am to get ready for the Spinning Babies workshop!!! I'm excited and ready to learn how to serve my clients in more ways!

The more you know...

Synthetic Hormone - Pitocin. It should come as no surprise that there are unintended and poorly understood consequences.

This is gorgeous!

There's something about a fresh babe on a freshly postpartum belly and skin-to-skin that makes us clucky.

Great read for the sleep deprived mothers (like myself)!
It's normal for breastfeeding babies and toddlers to wake during the night.

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I will be participating in the International Wave of Light in honor of my daughter Peyton Grace and all the other babies gone too soon. If you would like to participate as well, light a candle(s) at 7pm your time and leave the candle burning for 1 hour. I would love to see all those candles burning for our precious babies!
