The battle it takes to bring your baby to the world is a powerful one. It calls you for more. It’s battling with all of your deepest fears and doubts about yourself.
To me - having an all female birth team is insanely powerful. To have that energy in the room supporting the mother is everything. I love that Mia’s birth team of women were all different ages & ethnicity’s.
It felt so empowering to witness, support, and capture Mia’s birth. Izabel arrived into this world through an unmedicated birth (not so much by choice.) Izabel was coming too soon for an epidural. But in that room we all knew Mia had the strength to labor Izabel down all on her own. To hear the cry’s of a mom in labor is the testament to the strength, perseverance, and power within us. You don’t know your power until you’re face to face with a journey that calls you to find every ounce of strength within. Watching a mom step into that is incredibly inspiring. Watching the switch in birth when physically we believe we can’t but mentally we choose that we CAN. That’s the moment that I love in birth. That’s the moment that makes me fall deeper and deeper in love with birth and all that it is.🔥 What an amazing birth story this day was.
