A big, heartfelt thank you to all who came out last week to our doula family reunion! It was wonderful to see your faces, how your babies have grown, and give you hugs.

While I loved hearing all the birth stories being shared, the best part for me was seeing parents connect about everything from sleepless nights, feedings, to potty learning and introducing new siblings.

You all are incredible human beings. Even though I'm moving to New York, a piece of my heart will always be here in Massachusetts.

Gentle PSA:

Google is not your doula.

And 2am Google is definitely not your doula 😅

When something feels scary, uncertain, or unfamiliar in pregnancy, random internet stories rarely bring peace.

Usually they bring anxiety.

What helps more?

✨ asking someone who knows birth
✨ evidence-based information
✨ context
✨ calm support
✨ a place to ask “is this normal?” without judgment

That’s a big part of why I created Doula Chats.

A low-pressure space where expecting parents can ask questions, learn, and feel more prepared.

If your first birth feels like a blur, you are not alone.

One of the moms I recently spoke with described it this way:

“I kind of blacked out.”

She remembered pieces. Fragments. But not the full experience.

Birth is intense. Sometimes deeply primal. You are not meant to be calm, polished, and making executive decisions every 5 minutes.

But if you came away feeling disconnected, confused, pressured, or like things happened faster than you could process… that matters.

And it’s okay to want something different next time.

If having calm, evidence-based support during pregnancy (without needing in-person doula care) would feel helpful, I created something for exactly that:

✨ Everything But The Birth

Yes, the rumors are true! My family and I are moving out-of-state this summer.

Most parents-to-be spend far more time thinking about the baby gear than thinking about the model of care they are stepping into.

But two early decisions can shape so much of your birth experience:

✨ WHERE will you give birth?
✨ WHO will care for you?

Not because there is one universally “right” answer.

But because different birth settings and different providers often approach pregnancy, labor, and birth very differently.

These choices can influence:

• how risk is communicated
• what testing is routinely recommended
• what procedures and medications are routinely recommended
• whether your appointments feel rushed or relational
• how much room there is for questions
• how your partner is included
• whether birth is approached primarily as a medical event to manage, or a physiologic process to support
• and ultimately, how you feel about your birth afterward

Birth is not just about how your baby arrives.

It is also about how YOU are treated along the way.

If these decisions feel big… that’s because they are.

And if you have questions, that’s a good thing.

That’s exactly why I created Doula Chats: a space to ask questions, explore your options, and make informed decisions that align with your values.

Have questions about your birth options? Drop them below, or come join us 💜
