Come Help Us Set A World Record!

The Great Cloth Diaper Change is happening all over the world on Sat. April 23rd. I am one of the hosts for a location in Chandler, AZ. The Change will be happening in AZ at 9:30 a.m. the morning of the 23rd. We will be setting a world record for the most cloth diapers changed at one time. Our accomplishment will be displayed in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Come out and help us set this record! Participants with babies and toddlers under 39 inches, please join us. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 9:15 a.m. No registrations able to be excepted after 9:15. If you have more than one child, please bring along someone who can help look after them as they cannot come into the diaper changing area (sorry that's a Guinness stipulation).

We'll have prizes and giveaways and come also to learn about placenta encapsulation.

The event will be hosted at Tumbleweed Park near the Playtopia. If you're not in the Phoenix area, check out http://greatclothdiaperchange.com/ for a location near you.

For more information about the change here in Chandler, AZ, visit our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=153398258055825.

ACOG Embarasses Itself Again

It's no surprise that ACOG lacks a serious misunderstanding of how to care for a laboring woman, but check out this article regarding ACOG's April Fool's joke. It's so pathetic they pulled if off the internet quickly.

What's It Going to Take?

The fear of birth is so prevalent in our country. Other cultures do not fear birth in the same way that we do in the United States. Where do you think it comes from and what steps are necessary to get rid of it?

What You'll Receive if You Encapsulate with Me

Hello Ladies!

It's no secret I'm a fan of placenta encapsulation! I absolutely love to do the encapsulation process. It's rewarding and I believe in it strongly. Here's what you'll receive when you encapsulate your placenta with me.

You will receive a satin pouch with a momento of your baby's umbilical cord dried in either a heart or wreath shape.



100-150 professionally encapsulated placenta pills.



A brochure on the benefits and information about placenta encapsulation. Also, a dosage information card and nice jar to store the capsules in.

If you choose to encapsulate your placenta, you may experience benefits such as:

  • increased energy
  • increased lactation
  • decreased fatigue
  • decreased baby blues
  • less risk of postpartum depression
  • less postnatal bleeding
  • a shortened recovery period
  • a uterus that returns to pre-pregnancy size quicker
  • an easier postpartum recovery

I come to your home to prepare the placenta with my professional grade supplies. I leave you with no extra work and I clean the entire workspace before and after the process. I have been trained in the TCM method of encapsulation by PBI- the only certifying and training organization in the world. I maintain strict OSHA standards of handling the placenta and I maintain current food handler safety certification from the state.

If you're interested in having an easier postpartum recovery by encapsulating your placenta, I'd love to speak with you and answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact me at azbirthdoulas@gmail.com. I look forward to speaking with you!

My T Shirts Have Arrived!

I'm excited to announce that the T shirts I ordered for my business have arrived. I've included pictures below. For ordering something online, they sure turned out nice. I'm just relieved they fit!









The last one I order from Vistaprint of all places and it's my favorite. It's more of a comfortable T shirt feel, and it has my logo!

The other two I ordered from http://www.spreadshirt.com/. I couldn't figure out how to upload my logo to them, which is why I did Vistaprint for the other one. Making the top two shirts was super easy though and lots of fun. The shirts have a little more of a starchy feel, but maybe after I wash them...
