💜 The Hormone Behind Labor & Bonding: Oxytocin

Did you know one hormone helps power your contractions and helps you fall in love with your baby? Meet oxytocin: the body's "go" hormone for labor and "connect" hormone for bonding.

During labor: Oxytocin is released in pulses, helping your uterus contract more strongly so your cervix can open and baby can descend. It's a beautiful feedback loop: each contraction prompts more oxytocin, building the rhythm your body needs.

After birth: That same hormone supports skin-to-skin contact, milk let-down, and the calm, protective feelings that help you respond to your baby. It's one of the threads connecting physical care to emotional attachment.

Why it matters: Oxytocin doesn't flow as freely under stress or fear. Calm support, privacy, and uninterrupted time with your baby help your body do what it was made to do.

"As a mother comforts her newborn, so I will comfort you." ~ Isaiah 66:13 ~

This is exactly why having a doula in your corner matters. Someone to help protect that calm, sacred space so your body's natural design can work the way it's meant to. 💜

👉 Want support that helps you feel confident, prepared, and held through labor and beyond? Send me a message, I'd love to walk this season with you.

Happy Memorial Day everyone! Well, yesterday anyway 😅 While I hope everyone was enjoying time with their families, I spent my day welcoming a precious little baby girl into her own family!

Now, I've known this family for decades, to say they are my best friends is, well, the ABSOLUTE TRUTH 🥰 It was the greatest honor to witness and support their birth journey. This particular story, and family, is very very dear to my heart.

This is one of those stories that really shows how unpredictable birth is and that outcomes are never promised, and that is ok!

This mama went through it! She had her preferences, and when it completely flipped on her from start to finish, she never gave up. Her strength was most evident in her endurance through all 18 hours of laboring to welcome her baby girl. It was definitely not easy, and birth never is, but she powered through it like the warrior I've always known her to be. She leaned into trust in her team, her husband, and God. Her wisdom for every pivot and knowing her limits, were beyond compare.

The dad, my goodness, that dad. He was her perfect teammate, even the nurse mentioned it! His steadiness in being her anchor and her grounding force mixed with his visible love and compassion for his wife and child was the most beautiful image of the 3 strand cord that the Bible talks about. He was so attentive to her needs and her pain, and trusted her intuition when she said something would need to change.

The beauty in this wildly unpredictable birth is unmatched. The strength, the endurance, the wisdom, the trust, the intuition, the steadiness, the love between mom and dad all to welcome their little girl was absolutely awe-inspiring.

All the births I've attended are amazing and have their own special beauty, every single one of them. The ones that go exactly as planned, and the ones like this birth that take on a life of their own.

Hey there, mamas! Between sick kiddos and launching my birth course, life got a little busy behind the scenes recently.

​First off, if you are in the thick of late-night feeding and feeling worn out, please take a deep breath. One feed at a time, you are doing beautifully.

​Since feeding takes a lot of work, let's talk about a quick tip that changes everything: the latch. A proper, deep latch is essential because it protects your comfort and ensures baby gets enough milk.

​You can spot a shallow latch if you notice:
- ​Clicking or smacking sounds during a feed
- ​Your ni**le looks flattened or creased afterward
- ​Persistent pain past the first few seconds

​If you are struggling with a painful latch or just want some professional reassurance, I am here to help. You can book a lactation support visit with me for either a cozy in-home session or a virtual consultation.

​To wrap things up, let's swap some ideas in the comments. If you have breastfed, what was your favorite nursing-friendly food or drink? We all know that breastfeeding hunger is real, so let me know your go-to snacks below!

The last 48 hours have been a reminder of what motherhood is really all about. Between launching my birth course and tending to sick kiddos these past two days, my hands and my heart have been completely full.

​Because life gets full (and trust me, I totally get it) I had a few mamas reach out who missed the launch day cutoff while they were taking care of their own littles.

​So, let's extend some grace. I’m giving the special 'Grace Period' price of $47 live through the weekend before the course moves to its standard price on Monday.

​This course is real, raw, and recorded from the heart of my own home. You might see a stumble, a glitch, or a laugh in the videos—because that’s motherhood. We focus on the soul-deep truth of birth, not the perfection of production.

​If you want to move from fear to confidence and prepare for birth with a foundation of faith, DM me 'ROOTED' this weekend and I will personally get you set up.

This is why I do what I do. 🕊️

​I recently had some amazing women test out the Rooted in Birth Course, and their feedback reminded me why these conversations matter so much.

​One mama shared that the reminder that "bodies aren't broken" moved her to tears. Another mentioned how the demonstrations made her feel confident and less awkward about preparing for labor.

​That is my prayer for you: that you feel seen, supported, and spiritually grounded as you prepare to bring life into the world.

​The Birthday Special is still live!
In honor of my 34th birthday, you can grab the full course for just $34.

​How to get it:
Comment "ROOTED" below and I’ll send a personal message to your inbox with the details!

🎂 Celebrating 34 years with a gift for YOU. 🕊

​Today is my birthday 🥳 and I’m marking the occasion by finally opening the doors to the Rooted in Birth Course.

​I created this because birth preparation should be more than just a checklist. It should be a place where evidence-based education meets spiritual rest.

​What’s inside:
🙌 ​Confidence: Practical demonstrations so you feel prepared, not awkward.
💕 ​Truth: Reminders that your body is not broken and your voice is vital.
🫂 ​Support: Mental and spiritual prep for birth and the postpartum days ahead.

🎁 ​The Birthday Special Gift:
To celebrate turning 34, the course is only 💲34 for the next 24 hours (from May 14th, 9am - May 15th, 9am)

​How to get it:
Because I want to keep this connection personal, I’m doing things a little differently. Comment "ROOTED" below or send me a DM, and I will personally send over an invoice to get you started!

​Let’s cultivate a birth experience rooted in peace and confidence 🥰

I bridge the gap between pregnancy overwhelm and a peaceful, grounded birth experience. 🕊️

​As a mother who has navigated the transition into motherhood multiple times, I know exactly what it feels like to search for answers but only find noise.

📋 ​Are you tired of feeling like your birth plan is just a checklist of things you are afraid will go wrong?
❤️ ​Do you wish you had a simple rhythm to prepare your heart, not just your hospital bag?

I see you, mama!
​I see you in that space of wanting more than just a medical checklist. 🫂
​I see your desire for a birth that feels sacred and supported. ✨

​I created the Rooted in Birth Course to be a faith-forward resource that offers evidence-based guidance paired with grace-rooted encouragement. 🌱

​This means you aren’t just learning the mechanics of labor; you are gaining the confidence to trust God's design and respond to your body with confidence and surrender. 🙌

​I will never forget being uninformed and scared during my first birth, feeling like I was dying behind an oxygen mask while my baby was in distress. 💔

​That experience ended in the NICU and a disconnected postpartum season of depression, followed by the deep grief of a miscarriage. 🌧️

​Walking through three redemptive births over the last seven years changed everything for my family, and it is the reason I am so motivated to help you cultivate that same foundation of trust. 🌿

📢​The doors open in less than 24 hours. 📢

​Send me a DM with the word ROOTED right now, and to be first on the list to join us the moment we go live. 💌

We are officially two days away from opening the virtual doors to Rooted in Birth 🤰🏻🙌

To be honest with you, these last few days have looked a lot like the birth process itself with plenty of hard work, a few unexpected pivots, and a lot of tending to the small details that matter. I have been deep in the beta testing phase with some amazing mamas who are helping me prune these lessons to make sure they offer the most peace and clarity for you. I want this to feel like a real conversation between us, not a polished performance.

My heart is to provide you with a solid foundation so you can walk into your birth feeling strengthened and empowered rather than rushed or overwhelmed.

This course is built for the mama who wants to find her rhythm and trust the way God designed her body to bring life into the world. I am so excited to finally share this labor of love with you all on Thursday. And for 24hrs ONLY on May 14th, this course will only be $34 🤯

A little peek behind the curtain at Rooted in Birth course this afternoon! 🌿✨

​This 'mush-mom-brain' of mine has been so focused on getting the details just right, but seeing the dashboard finally put together makes my heart so full. Between tech confusions and mom perfectionism, I'm learning that this course is about tending to you and giving you a faith-filled foundation for the season ahead, not me being the perfect presenter LOL

​From understanding how your body works to cultivating a truly sacred space of postpartum, I’ve poured my heart into these introductory lessons.

​I’d love to know which module feels most beneficial to you right now? Let me know in the comments! 👇
