Experienced doula, birth mentor + gender equality consultant with a passion for creating positive change in families + communities 💪 🧐Expert guidance, partner connection, + values-based birth prep ❤️✨ Proud trans ally 🏳️‍⚧️ Vermont-based 🍁
Let me get this straight:

Schools MUST out trans kids to parents—even when the kid says it’s not safe.

But parents can’t be trusted to support their kid with gender-affirming care—even when we know it's safe.

So... parental rights only matter when parents don’t support their trans kid?

“I don’t want to be the driver anymore—put me in the trunk.”
Funniest thing a client ever said in labor 😂

Birth can be full of decisions. You shouldn’t have to navigate them alone.

Childbirth ed + doula support = knowing your options + building your team.

There is no one-size-fits-all way to birth. And there is no one-size-fits-all way to experience gender. You are not here to fit into someone else’s expectations.

You don’t owe anyone a performance. Birth & gender are about listening to yourself.

Honor what’s true for you. 💜

Many people have an opinion about birth and gender. But what if instead of offering advice, we just listened? What if we let each person be known as they know themselves to be? What if each birth story was granted the same honor of the rite passage it is, no matter how one births?

There is so much joy in being affirmed—in birth, in identity, in life. Every person deserves to feel held, supported, and seen in their full humanity.

Folks, let’s uplift joy. Let’s celebrate trans and nonbinary people the way we celebrate the beauty of birth.

Tag & share to spread the love. 🌈✨

Whether you are birthing a child, birthing a new version of yourself, or simply walking your path—community makes it stronger.

Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate trans and nonbinary people everywhere. 🌈 You are seen, you are valid, and you are deeply loved.

Birth is unpredictable. So is life. And within the mess, there is magic. Let’s hold space for both. 

The fear of not knowing, not understanding—whether it's birth or gender—can keep us from seeing the beauty that was always there.✨

Birth and gender diversity are both part of the natural world. Just as there is no single ""right"" way to give birth, there is no single ""right"" way to be human. 💛

Birth teaches us how to love unconditionally, long before we know who our child truly is. That love must remain steady—no matter what. 💛
