Some births don’t go as planned, but they show us strength in ways we never imagined 💛

This weekend, I had the honour of supporting a mama who faced challenge after challenge throughout her long labour. Despite the unexpected turns, she and her partner continued to show up for their baby girl with so much love and strength 🫶🏻

Although her birth looked different than she had envisioned, I hope she knows how deeply I admire her resilience. From the tough moments to the little moments of comfort, connection, and even a face mask self-care break, it was a reminder that birth is about so much more than the plan ✨

To this beautiful family, thank you for letting me be part of your journey. It was an honour to support you 💛

Also incredibly grateful to have shared this family’s care with Birthing with Bry - Ottawa Birth Doula and Placenta Artist ! Thank you for trusting me through this process and helping me grow as a doula 🫶🏻

Welcome to the world, sweet girl 💕

POV: you’re a doula, but you’re also just a mom trying to make it through a busy Saturday 😂

Here’s a little peek into my day:

Two prenatals (one in my home, second in my client’s home) ✔️
Home for dinner ✔️
Banana bread with my girls ✔️
Outside time with the fam ✔️

Busy day, full heart 💛

One year of The Birth Way 💛

Today marks ONE YEAR since I officially started The Birth Way Doula Services!

It’s honestly hard to believe how much has happened in just one year.

I’ve supported families through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I’ve witnessed strength, vulnerability, unexpected turns, beautiful moments and everything in between. I’ve continued learning, growing my resources, connecting with other birth professionals and finding my place in this incredible community.

But when I look back on this first year, the thing I’m most grateful for isn’t a milestone or a number.

It’s the people 💛

The families who trusted me. The birth stories you shared with me. The referrals. The messages. The encouragement. The people who have followed along and supported this little dream from the beginning.
Thank you for allowing me to do something I truly love 💛

Here’s to one year of The Birth Way and to everything still to come 🌼

You may have seen this before, but do you know what it is?

As we approach the end of Breastfeeding Awareness Month, I wanted to share one of the tools that can support a breastfeeding journey: a Supplemental Nursing System (SNS)! ✨

An SNS allows a baby to receive supplemental milk (formula or pumped breastmilk) while nursing at the breast. It can be one option for families who are navigating supplementation while still wanting to spend time at the breast and support their breastfeeding goals💛

There’s no one “right” way to feed a baby, and needing supplementation doesn’t mean breastfeeding has to end!

Have you heard of/ used an SNS before? Let me know👇🏼

Today we honour the little ones who come after loss, while holding space for the babies and dreams that came before them 🌈

To every rainbow family: your journey, your grief, your hope, and your joy are all worthy of being held 💛

Happy national rainbow baby day 🌈

✨Fear → tension → pain → more fear ✨

This cycle can feel overwhelming during labour, but understanding it can be incredibly empowering!

Birth preparation isn’t about trying to guarantee a pain-free birth. It’s about building tools that can help you feel safe, grounded and supported when things get intense.

The more you practice relaxation before labour, the more familiar those skills can feel when you need them.

Breathe, soften, move, release, trust, support 💛

Save this for your birth prep & share it with your birth partner!

The final page of my Birth Preparation Guide ✨

Every client who books a birth package or a prenatal consultation receives this guide to help them feel informed, confident, and prepared for labour and birth.

My goal is simple: to help you feel supported, empowered, and ready to navigate your birth; whatever it may look like 💛

If you’re expecting in the Ottawa area and looking for personalized birth support, I’d love to connect 💛

✨Let’s chat about water births✨

Water birth can be such a beautiful option for many families! Warm water may help encourage relaxation, support comfort during labor, and give you more freedom to move and find positions that feel good.

A birth pool isn’t the only way to have a water birth, you may also be able to use your own bathtub, as long as it meets your midwife’s requirements! But how can you see how aesthetic and peaceful our Birth Pools By Grace | Canada’s White Birth Pools are and NOT want to use one during your birth?!

Interested in renting a birth pool? We offer a birth pool rental that truly has everything you need to make your setup simple and stress-free!

Included a little behind-the-scenes moment of me setting up one of The Collaborative Doula Collective rental pools for the first time.. It truly was a smooth process even if my face says otherwise 😂
