The long awaited moment is here!

While it may not have seemed all that long for those who just saw my announcement; it has been quite the minute for me. I’ve wanted to create this platform for honest open discussion, education and women supporting women for the last two years. I’m so grateful things have finally come together to make it a reality!

The heart of this is inspired by a desire to not only connect parents and their stories, but to also invite care providers to the table so we may work toward a more collaborative future in maternity care.

Birth Matters and I want to help encourage that positive change.

So, here is the first of many episodes to come! I hope you enjoy and if you’d like to share it with others I’d be so grateful!

Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. 

Having talked myself out of pursuing it when I graduated high school, I ended up studying Anthropology and Psychology. From there discovering a passion for women’s health and starting on a path of serving families through birth work. 

Now, I find myself drawn back into art. Unable to fully leave it to the side. I wanted to find a way to use that creativity in relation to my desire to continue pursuing birth work as a life path. 

My friend Jen & I delivering a bench I helped to paint for MAD LAB to Jeannette’s Library

You Are Here Gallery in Jeannette provided that opportunity to explore that very idea. 

I’m happy to share that I have been creating pieces, typically fabric sculptures or quilts, often focusing on the relationship between mother and baby, womanhood, and parenthood. 

Part in raising awareness and education. Part in raising funds that will help families in financial need afford doula services. 

There are several blogs I have written for the gallery during my time as their satellite artist that I will cross post here on my site. 

Birth Matters as well as Art, and I want to combine them in a meaningful way. 

I hope you derive some inspiration, whether as an expecting mom or an artist or both in joining me on this journey. 

If you are involved in art as a mom or an artist who focuses on womanhood, birth, parenthood I would love to chat and have you on the podcast!

Until next time: 

I wish you all the best, and happy birthing!

2021 bringing forth new opportunities! 

Introducing the JB Doula Podcast. Launching both in audio podcast format and video compliment on Youtube. 

The JB Doula Podcast has been brewing in my mind for the last couple of years and I’m excited to bring it to life. I very much wanted a way to reach families in Western Pennsylvania on a more personal level to provide information, resources, and some familiarity with who I am and what I do. 

With conventions, gatherings, and talks still up in the air with the pandemic, I’ve finally decided to take the plunge into making a podcast.

Here I will explore topics such as what a doula is, does, and how they serve you as well as other informative topics like your options in birth. I’ll explore various aspects of womanhood, birth, and the childbearing years. There will also be interviews with care providers ranging from chiropractors to midwives and OBs as well as moms to share their birth stories and mom hacks. 

I’m also excited to have special episodes where mompreneurs can share their business success and promote what they do or their products. I very much want this to be a platform of honest discussion, education, and women supporting women.

If you’d like to share your birth story, mom hacks, or your services/products please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Until next time: 

I wish you all the best, and happy birthing!
