The body keeps the score and each year I’m reminded to slow down, grieve, feel both sadness and gratitude. You deserve time and space to feel.
Honor this process 🙏

The sweet, sweet interaction of my client birthing almost one year ago. She got to see and connect with her older kiddos for a little pep talk and rally. Her boy was the sweetest little love and all of our hearts grew 3 sizes watching this love and oxytocin pour out. Raise them kind!

Heading into my doula-versary next month and celebrating S E V E N years of doula work 👏👏👏 I LOVE this work and will forever carry this passion as a doula in how I show up for, love on, and serve my friends, family and community members. This work has challenged me, stretched me and shaped me into a kinder, more compassionate human; and I’m grateful for every single person and family I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I carry a piece of each of you in my heart.

I’ve been keeping a secret and working on something that I’ve always wanted to pursue.
The timing, the motivation, the opportunity wasn’t quite right up until now. But here we are! I’m going back to school (At the ripe old age of 37) for a degree in abdominal/OB Sonography.
It’s a 4 year commitment and my focus will be on balancing full time schoolwork in a super competitive program, with kids and home-life.

YES- I am still taking clients, but with SUPER limited availability during the school year; and then opening my books to fill the calendar for winter and summer breaks.
So plan accordingly 😉 🤰

Even after graduation, I plan to sprinkle in doula work as I LOVE the birth space and feel called there. It’s just time for me to switch gears and work towards something more sustainable. Being on-call all the time is exhausting 😅

My heart still burns for doula work, reproductive rights, healthcare & birthing folks! I’m looking forward to continuing my education while still showing up for women and birthing people. I love y’all so much! 🤗
I plan to keep this account active and will share bits and peices on my journey along the way.

Thanks for your support and encouragement!

Here’s to normalizing normal bodies in artwork for the world to see.
Here’s to the lumps, curves, dimples, and stretch marks.
Here’s to honoring myself as the thick baddie that carried and birthed two babies.
Here’s to the fat and pregnant folks who feel mistreated and shamed by fat bias and prejudice in maternal healthcare, I see you. 🫶
Here’s to being healthy and low risk despite the weight.
Here’s to autonomy, reproductive rights, and respect for the choices we make.
✌️

Everyone meet, Clare
My own doula, close friend, and incredible L&D nurse. I’m grateful for her friendship and presence in my life. 🙌🏻 She graciously tagged along to support my repeat client Danielle during her labor, birth, and postpartum.
Last night we gathered around Danielle’s family, snuggled baby Jones, and debriefed an epic birth tale. We processed, joked, laughed, validated, and uplifted each other.
Literal dream team right here! I’m selfishly bummed this is Danielle’s last baby, but I’m grateful to have grown as friends and will cherish this connection for years to come ❤️

I believe it’s essential for a doula to have close birthworker friends (and Clare is an integral part of that community for me) who will support you, process s**t with you, and give wisdom, nuance and perspective to complicated situations. You can’t put a price on that kind of community!

Feeling extra grateful today 🥰

In the words of MILCK, “I can’t keep quiet. A one woman riot.”
TBH I am filled with rage as I watch our country dismantle and become vulnerable. I as I watch the bridges to our allies burn. As I watch marginalized people groups suffer. As I watch human rights be obliterated. As I watch personal data and information get pillaged. As I watch our benevolence become stained with greed. As I watch inflation rise and costs soar.
With eyes wide open I watch as they work to oppress the working class. Removing the stewards of our national land, purging watchdogs and overstepping checks and balances. They submit bills seeking the death penalty for the women who practice autonomy. Denying healthcare to bleeding and dying women for fear of litigation.
Professionals no longer safe from retaliation and abusive workplaces.
Removing protections for women, minorities, and the disabled.
Free press being barred access bc they refuse to bend the knee.

What’s happening now is overwhelming but we can’t numb out. We need to stay vigilant. We need to stay angry. We need to recognize our power and actively resist.
The worst thing we can do right now is see what’s happening and choose to stay silent, to do nothing.
We cannot stay silent.
Together we will overcome.
Together we will take back what’s ours.
STAY HUMAN. STAY YOU. LET YOUR FIRE BURN. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD. 🔥

Give the gift of birth support this holiday season!
Support a BIPOC family in need of financial assistance in order to afford doula care and homebirth fees.

I’m flexing my rate to accommodate this family, but they could use some extra love and $$$ to cover their expenses.

Put “spring baby 2025” in the payment description.
THANK YOU for being the most generous people I know! 🙏

It has taken me years. YEARS. To come to terms with this.
As a former “pro-life” advocate and conservative voting Christian who thought I understood this topic, it has taken me years to unpack this concept and face some ugly, uncomfortable feelings in order to grow in my understanding of Abortion care.

I had to ask myself hard questions.
I needed to confront my bias and look beyond my indoctrination to find empathy and compassion.
I needed to listen to people’s stories and lived experiences.
I needed to try and understand the nuance and gray world in which abortion care exists.

My hope is that you can read this post and challenge yourself to sit with hard concepts.
I hope you can share this post to spread awareness and education.

If this post makes you feel defensive, angry, or confused, I’ll ask you to lean into that.
Then I need you to ask yourself if there’s something here for you to learn?

You still have the right to form your own opinion and respectfully disagree on a personal level; but I urge you to understand how your belief system and bias impacts the world around you. -especially if you’re a one issue voter and abortion is the only reason you chose Trump in this election. (Bc that was me in 2016) 😔

Lastly, if you’d like to hear stories of how current laws and abortion bans are affecting American families today, please take some time to watch Diane Sawyer and Rachel Scott’s Impact/Nightline ‘On the Brink’ via Hulu.

Lainey says, “Yes! We did it!”
Postpartum visits with my repeat client and friend are always amazing because Mallory knows how to do postpartum the right way.
She prioritizes rest, nourishment, and bonding time with baby. Whenever I check in on this family they are thriving! 👏👏👏
Postpartum is NOT easy and can be a real struggle for most families if you don’t have a solid care plan and support system going into it.
This is why I dedicate a lot of the first prenatal visit with clients talking about the pp plan and giving them a realistic look into life following birth.

You deserve good things. You deserve quality care. You deserve partner and community support, nourishing (& tasty) meals; and time off to rest, bond, and heal.
You are worthy of it.

I recently celebrated my doula-versary —6 years! 😱 it was in September but this season has been crazy busy.

Here’s a little update on life:
I moved! Still local to the twin cities but 10 mins further south. I have space for my own office now, and it feels exciting to have dedicated space for administrative doula work and continuing education.

I just sent out emails to this year’s client list asking for updated reviews for my public social media spaces. I cannot tell you how grateful these reviews make me feel. It’s affirming, but also allows new families to find my page and supports my small business. If you’ve worked with me and haven’t done so yet, I’d love it if you’d take a few mins to write a review and post it to fb, doula match, and/or google.

This year I’m continuing education and participating in the cohort. 🙌🏻 It’s a deep dive into birth physiology, prenatal body prep, and learning another layer of support for my birthing peeps. 🤗

I’m co-hosting the “keeping your Power; Advocacy in Action” workshop for doulas this Feb! If
Your local or would like to fly in and attend, shoot me a dm and I’ll send you deets!

Lastly I’m excited to announce that I have plans to travel internationally to support a special doula fam early spring 2025!

If you would have told brand new baby doula Brittany all this 6 years ago she wouldn’t have believed you.
God is good.
Sending you all baby dust, happy birthing vibes, love and light.
Here’s to an amazing 6th year in birthwork! 🙌🏻🥂

Mama- 🙌🏻
