I think my senior English teacher Ms. Anderson would be proud! 😂 she based our whole senior project on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and it was such a memorable way to end high school. : : Now, I get to share my love for learning and reading with my child. It’s really come full circle! : : I can’t wait to roll out some classes this year for you guys as well! Like I stated a few posts back, I am making some changes to my services (again lol). In order to make this work more sustainable for myself and my family, and be around for you longer! Look out for a blog post on the changes in my services and some classes I will be offering this year! ☺️💛 : : : : : : : : : : : : : #birthworker #lasvegasbirthworker #birthprofessional #birthclass #childbirtheducation #childbirtheducator #earlyparenting #babies #babiesreading #aisforalice #alicesadventuresinwonderland #aliceinwonderland #babybooks #babyreading #lasvegas #lasvegasmoms #lasvegasbabies #postpartum #earlyyearsplay #mamapreneur #ericayserranobirthservices (at Paradise, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSmQTun6Bc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17ix9xu5pdi4g

The clock becomes irrelevant during labor. It's there and time is indeed passing, but the present moment is all that can be focused on. ⌚ I spent the past two days with a client in labor and so lost track of time that I forgot which day it was. Twice. 😮 📆 Doulas - What is the longest time you've been with a client in labor? 🌞 Mommas - Were you aware of the clock during your labor? • • • #time #labor #laborland #birth #birthdoula #laborsupport #birthprofessional #pregnant #babyontheway @Regrann from @ph_ony - #old #clock • Shared by @expectingnewlife - Heidi Duncan, Birth Doula • #nashvilledoula #clarksvilledoula - #regrann

Most surprising item in my #birthdoula bag of tricks? A string of white Christmas lights. 🎄 Turn off the harsh florescent overheads and poorly dimmed can lights. Plug in the twinkle lights. The room is transformed. Lights instantly soften the space and make it more cozy. ✨ @Regrann from @tessa.k_01 - #twinklelights • Shared by @expectingnewlife - Heidi Duncan, Birth Doula • #nashvilledoula - #regrann #doulatips #clarksvilledoula #birthprofessional (at Doula Heidi Duncan - Expecting New Life Birth Services)

On this day 18 years ago, my life was forever changed. My dear friend was having her 2VBA2C. It was my first time in an L&D room. I learned many things about myself that day, but it was while watching her push her baby boy into the world that I had my aha moment... "I belong here." It was an unmistakable calling that resonated deep in my heart. I have not wavered from it since. So thank you again, Bridget, for allowing me into your laboring time, and Happy BIRTH Day to Baby A... I'll never forget the day we met! • • • #birthdoula #birthprofessional #VBAC #vba2c #laboranddelivery #mycalling #lifechanging #doulalife #doula #naturalbirth #hospitalbirth #nashvilledoula #clarksvilledoula (at Doula Heidi Duncan - Expecting New Life Birth Services)
