Ep 47//”My Story is My Own”:The 2HBAC Birth Story of Elyse Marie

Many lessons were learned during my second homebirth after cesarean (HBAC). Elyse Marie taught me things I never would have learned without this experience. 
Listen along as I share her story to the public for the first time since her birth! I process through the lessons learned and I hope you find encouragement!
There is nothing special about me to be able to have a blissful birth, I'm just a woman who respects the birth process and trusts my intuitive abilities to birth a baby.

Ep 39//4 Reasons I Am Done Attending Hospital Births

This is an episode I’ve been hesitant to do but I have felt like it was needed for a long time. I want to be very sensitive to women no matter what their choices and in no way want to diminish the birth experiences of those clients I have attended in the hospital. They are all beautiful in their own way. That’s the thing about birth, we can truly pick out the beauty in any situation we are in. My goal is to create and foster an environment that is dripping with beauty in all areas.
 
Come alone as I attempt to explain how I came to this decision as a doula and where I am going and how I am serving from here!
