In the heart of home, magic unfolds—where birth is honored as sacred and each breath rises in calm and radiant joy. Delayed cord clamping becomes a quiet ritual, allowing every precious drop to nourish new life. Supporting families in their own space means honoring every heartbeat, every act of love, and the deep, unspoken bond that weaves us all together.

Please sign this petition.
“Currently, Georgia maintains restrictive midwifery policies that prohibit trained midwives from attending community births. The March of Dimes’ data showing that 61% of women in rural areas across Georgia live more than 30 minutes from a birthing hospital coupled with a severe shortage of obstetrical providers in the state highlights the urgent need for policy reform to reinstate midwifery licensing. This reform is a vital step in expanding access to quality care, improving health outcomes, and reducing the risk of maternal mortality in our state.”

Sweet daytime birth today. Second baby and second homebirth. Big brother was such a great help, and listened to the baby’s heart with his own stethoscope with me during the newborn exam. Once newborn exam was over mom got resettled and baby went back to skin-to-skin with mom for some more nursing. He is a great and motivated nurser! ❤️

Fastest birth I have ever seen last night!!! Mom called after 2 contractions and baby was born in 10 minutes! I hadn’t even gotten all my clothes on yet. 😝 Talked the family through the birth while I was getting dressed. Then drove the 30 minutes and got there in time for the placenta and a newborn exam. Big sister was in the room sleeping the whole time and woke up after the newborn exam and was so happy to see her new sibling!!

December babies started with a bang this morning at 37 weeks. 😊 First phone call at 6:06am baby born at 7:01am. Sweet baby girl was joined by her 3 siblings for a bit of a sibling love fest. So adorable. ❤️

3 births this week (so far). 2 on Halloween and one this morning on the mom’s birthday!! Sometimes at births we are also the photographer. 😊

I was invited to speak at Life University’s ICPA Club and a former client came in with her children and I was gifted this piece of artwork. 😍 Another former client is faculty there and was also there as a backup speaker in case I was at a birth. So great to speak about homebirth and also get to see former clients!

Postpartum visit. Gorgeous, recently fed baby = a little mess on the shoulder. ALWAYS worth the sweet cuddle! ❤️😊

Sometimes sitting quietly and just holding her hand is all she needs to feel loved and supported during labor.

“It's increasingly common for healthcare companies to have binding arbitration agreements, which stipulate that if a dispute arises, it will be settled by an arbitrator rather than a judge or jury. Since binding arbitration is a private process, it also means that companies can better protect their image and reputation by avoiding negative publicity.

In a Bloomberg Businessweek featureopens in a new tab or window, reporter Heather Perlberg shed light on this trend toward binding arbitration and how it's affecting patients. On the one hand, she explained, "The argument [in favor of] arbitration hinges on the rising costs imposed by malpractice lawsuits, which some policymakers and doctors say have made medicine more litigious and led to worse care." On the other hand, it's pretty apparent that binding arbitration has much more to do with protecting private equity than prioritizing patients' well-being.”

There's a problematic trend toward binding arbitration agreements

It is our very own Debbie’s birthday today 🎂 Please help me to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I’m not sure there are words that could accurately capture her - but I feel confident that those who know and love her, already know what a gift she is to us all. Her love and passion for supporting women is evident in every aspect of who she is. Lover of extra cream in her coffee, excellent Mexican food and never says no to breakfast any time of day 😉 But her truest love in life is her family. Her husband, two children and five grandchildren and (almost) 3 great grandbabies are her sun, moon and stars.
Debbie, we love you and our lives are richer because of your care and support. Wishing you the happiest birthday 💜
