Going with the flow...

I'm going with the flow of things right now...life's little waves of momentum.  Some are little, some are big, but we are always moving with the current.  Just like birth.  Like labor.  

In the past few years, I devoted my time to mothering my baby and raising my big boy.  He will officially be a Kindergartner in the Fall and my daughter is a talking toddler at two & a half.  At this turn, I feel much more room to give of myself to others and feed my passion!  I'm so blessed that I can do those two things at once!!!

Simply Birth encompasses sort of my philosophy of birth and its process.  In short, pregnancy and birth is a beautiful natural journey that can be made very simplistic.  Simple as in clear, understandable, pure, uncluttered.  Its at a fingertips' reach. 

Too many times today, pregnancy is presented as complicated, misguiding us through murky waters of misused data and statistics, scare tactics, setting us up for the worst before anything has yet to begin.  The key is education.

As you become an informed patient, you are empowered to make choices regarding your birth and your vision of your baby's entrance into the world.  In conjunction with a supportive birth team, you will be able to tackle all the twists and turns labor and delivery brings.   In the end, you will feel happy and confident recalling your birth experiences knowing you gave yourself and your baby the best possible outcome. 

What is the best possible outcome?  This truly is for each individual mother's perspective.  We can all share aloud our favorite birth adventures but what may be perfect for you, may look much different for another and yet...sublime just the same.  I often hear providers say...'healthy baby, healthy mom'.  While this is true, very true, the feeling of satisfaction and happiness stem from much much deeper grounds.

And that's where I am....here to encourage mothers on their birthing journey, to support fathers as they comfort their wives, and to hopefully bring an awareness to all that the miracle of life and its entire process is to be honored just as much as the blessing of the baby held in your arms.
