We’re not just here for birthers, we’re here for the community.

What we do…

  • We offer support not only during your fertility journey, but also through family planning education.

  • We are birth and postpartum doulas. We not only support, but also educate and advocate. We are not your partner or your mother, but we support both while supporting you.

  • We provide classes on lactation and breastfeeding education as well as lactation counselor support.

  • Whether you’re hiring us as your doula team or not, we also offer birth photography and videography services, as well as maternity and fresh48 photography & videography.

  • Placenta castings and placenta watercolors are a great option for memorializing your birth. Check back soon for belly casting!

  • Loss touches us all, but the sudden loss of a child can need something more. Whether you need appointment support, home support or photography, we will soon offer the help you’re looking for.

We hold space.

As doulas, we hold space at births so that you and your partner(s) don’t have to. We educate first, advocate second. Most of all, we deeply care about changing the birth space, making it a more passionate field towards birthers.

It is said that those in labor leave their bodies, travel to the stars and return to earth with the soul of their baby.
