Hoping your partner knows what to say to soothe you during birth?
Share these phrases for your partner to encourage you with when you’re in labor.

Remind them their words are powerful.
They are to be your safe place, your biggest cheerleader, a soft spot to land and a guiding light when birth (and parenting) gets intense and confusing.

Also maybe share with them that coming to our birth class this week will help them (and you) feel even more prepared!

I’ve been meeting with partners in prenatal appointments for years now, and something I hear a lot is, “What if I don’t know what to do?”

You don’t have to have every answer before labor begins. You can learn what helps your person feel cared for, talk about what you’re each carrying, and practice a few ways to support one another.

That’s the heart our upcoming class this week- preparing together, without expecting either of you to have it all figured out.

My husband and I would love to see you at More Than a Birth Partner at the Birth & Baby Fair. Birth and Baby Fair Duluth

Class is 11:15-11:45. Its 1 of 12 FREE WORKSHOPS

Your partner doesn’t have to memorize a birth textbook or have the perfect thing to say.

Sometimes support looks like offering water. Sometimes it’s giving you space. Sometimes it’s helping you feel safe enough to follow your own rhythm.

My husband,Toffer and I are teaching More Than a Birth Partner at the Duluth Birth & Baby Fair Birth and Baby Fair Duluth . We’ll talk about the changing rhythm of labor, the hormones behind birth, simple ways to offer support, and preparing for those first days with baby.

Come learn together. We’ll bring the real-life perspective, and probably a few stories from our own five births.🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Nobody trains for birth like they train for a marathon. And then we wonder why it feels so hard. Let’s fix that!
(This is coming from someone who never ran a marathon, wanted an unmedicated first birth and did ZERO prep)…I’ve since learned many lessons.

You weren’t meant to just get through pregnancy, you were meant to rise through it. To feel supported, strong, and ready for what’s ahead. That’s what BRM® was built for, and this Labor Day, all three programs are up to 20% off through September 7th.

Body Ready Prenatal trains your pelvic floor to work with you during labor instead of against it, so those aches and that pressure stop feeling like something you just have to live with.

Body Ready Birth teaches you and your partner the positions and hands-on techniques that make finding what works during labor feel intuitive instead of like guesswork in the moment.

Body Ready Postpartum gives you an intentional recovery from day one, instead of crossing your fingers and hoping your body figures it out.
You can also bundle all three together for even more savings!

20,000+ families have used these programs to move through pregnancy feeling strong instead of just surviving it, train their pelvic floor to release efficiently, build the core stability that helps prevent diastasis recti, and calm their nervous system enough to actually trust their body during birth.

Each program includes:
Targeted exercises and techniques
Clear, detailed tutorials
Progressive, intelligent preparation
Access to a supportive community

Having been a Doula for 7 years, and given birth 5 times, I’ve seen countless programs promise results. BRM® actually delivers because they understand what your body was designed to do. It’s why I trained to become a BRM PRO and recommend it!

Sure I can bring the tools to your birth, but what if we didn’t need them all!

This Labor Day, give yourself the gift that will support you from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond!

In a world that tells us we can do it all, and a place where we are constantly consumed by people’s highlight reels. I am here to remind you that none of us are doing it all.

We are dropping balls.
Late on emails.
Running behind because mixing motherhood and work means sometimes someone cries when you walk out the door.
Sometimes we are telling our kids “just a moment” (for a lot of moments) while we try and show up in the digital space.
And sometimes we are ignoring the pings of our phone when we are trying to put our feet on the grass or walk in the woods.

Balance is a unicorn that most of us have yet to find.

So it’s pretty important to me to just show up authentically and unapologetically(ok actually there will be apologizing bc that’s a trait of a perfectionist😬).

What I have learned in friendship, motherhood and working especially with mothers and new parents is that there is so much value in the authenticity and vulnerability.

I originally wanted to make this post about what it’a like being on call, but that just seemed to skim the surface.

So when you see someone showing up with meals, just know her kitchen is probably messy and her kids are eating pizza. When a mom is late it’s probably because she had to kiss a boo boo or nurse a baby. When someone takes a moment to get back to you, maybe it’s because they needed some time to unplug.

So here’s my heartfelt reminder, none of us are doing it all, myself especially. But I appreciate you sticking around this corner of the internet and I appreciate even more those of you who let me be a part of your village.

Hold my hand while I tell you something…you don’t have to simply accept care, you can actively choose a provider whose philosophy aligns with their values.

You deserve to ask questions.

You deserve to understand your options.

And you deserve a care team that welcomes those conversations.

The people supporting you, the conversations you’re having, and the questions you’re asking can have a profound impact on how informed and supported you feel.

If you’re currently interviewing providers, c0mment QUESTIONS and I’ll send you my favorite provider interview questions. 🤍 (be patient, I am a real human(and mama) sending these things!

Raise your hand if your provider has mentioned anything about environment + birth physiology??
🦗 🦗🦗
…yep, that’s kinda what I thought.

When most people think about birth preparation, they think about what they’ll do during labor.

But one of the most important questions might be:

What kind of environment am I creating?

The environment around you influences the hormones inside you.

And those hormones play a huge role in how labor unfolds.

This is one of those birth conversations I wish we were having more often. 🤍

I spend a lot of time in client visits talking about the importance of hormones!
