Celestial Bliss Birth Doula

Never been one to be happy with the "flexfit" hat look, but super happy to have my logo on this one!

Put my new vinyl Logo on my truck! Thanks to Rosedale Decals and Stickers I kept it small because I am not a huge fan of stickers all over vehicles, but I like how classy this looks! #doulalife #letsdoulathis #momhelpingmoms #celestialblissbirth

As a Nurse, evidence-based research is something that I find extremely important... Not only to my own knowledge and learning about factual vs non-factual information, but it gives me a good place to be unbiased and factual for my clients and remain non-judgmental to everyone's own beliefs or desires. As a Doula I am there to support my clients decisions by giving them all the information possible and having their back when they make their choices. Interesting info on the Vitamin K injection after birth

I found this interesting...for those contemplating whether or not to be vaccinated against Covid... https://www.google.com/url

The thing that brings on anxiety for most pregnant women is the impending labor. When will it happen? What signs will there be? How will I know? Well, one of the reasons I became a doula, is because there is no textbook thing that is the same for every woman, and it sounds extremely cliché to say, but you will just know! I've had many of my mom's come back to tell me "you're right, I just knew this was it!" And after 2 babies myself, both completely different experiences, when labor started, I just knew it was time! #doulalife #lovewhatido #passionnotajob

Why hire a doula?! I thought this when I had my first daughter in 2011... In the end I had an unsupported labor that was fast and I felt no one was listening to my wants or needs. Numerous people coming in and out of my room telling me what was happening to MY body, which they were wrong about might I add, as I went from 4 to 10 cm dilated in less than 30min and told them it was time, where they argued with me . I became a doula to support people, to help them feel empo...wered and in control of their bodies and decisions, as well as to provide calm and reassurance when their birth plans were perhaps not going according to their plans. My second daughter born Nov 26, I decided I wanted a doula... Even though things went horribly unexpected and ended in a cesarean, my doula was there, she walked beside me through the journey and reminded me to breathe with every contraction. As I felt myself holding my breath she reminded me to breathe. Now, having gone through two entirely different birth experiences myself, I know that I can provide better care and support to my clients and their families in so many ways. I am humbled by my experience and gracious for the lessons learned. See more

I'd like to introduce the newest member of my family, another beautiful daughter born November 26

Honesty put forth... We hear how pregnancy and motherhood is this fabulous, wonderful all loving time, the greatest and happiest journey we will experience, the glow, the excitement, the love... Anyone not feel that, and then feel guilty because we didn't have that "amazing feeling"? Yep, it happens! Don't get me wrong there are amazing aspects, beautiful moments, but there are those other moments too... The ones when our body hurts, you feel sick, you're exhausted from lack ...of sleep, labor sometimes causes trauma- some worse than others, our bodies go through a change that sometimes doesn't go back to normal. Why do we feel guilty for not enjoying all these things it's ok to have feelings, emotions, and moments of overwhelming things, sadness even, but what happens when those feelings weigh on you and you bottle it up because you want to be like your friend, sister, or mother who "loved pregnancy" and tell you "you should be happy" but inside you hurt and feel guilty ridden? Perinatal depression and postpartum depression are a real thing, more than just the momma/baby blues, and it's ok! There is support, you're not a bad mom and you're feelings are allowed!! Never bottle it in, reach out for support and know that you are never alone See more
