My first birth of 2022 - A fast and peaceful homebirth

Walking into 2022…expecting our fourth baby after a season of loss…I couldn’t have asked for a more healing birth to attend. My first birth of 2022 was peaceful, beautiful, and just swelled with so much support.

The older kiddos were sleeping when I arrived on a cold January night. Ashley, my client, labored with such grace as the tub filled with water. Her bedroom was full of affirmations, gentle lighting, and the soft laughter of family and midwives.

There is so much I could say about this birth, but in the end - words fail. The love and joy of this family meeting their third baby - a boy - was beyond perfect. You can see the magic in both the images and the film (edited for sharing purposes) below.
