MEET THE WITCHLET'S

Hi my name is Sabrina, "The Baby Witchlet”!

I am a registered nurse and new mom with a passion for supporting other women. I became a labor and delivery nurse because I always felt that the delivery of a baby was such a special moment to not only witness, but be apart of, and I wanted to feel that magic all the time. Watching a person discover how strong they are is my favorite moment to see.

I first met Kelly when I started working in labor and delivery, she didn’t have her awesome name as "The Baby Witch" yet, but everyone on the unit knew of her "magical" ways. While I knew Kelly, we didn’t work together much in the beginning, it wasn’t until I was pregnant with my son that our relationship grew and my love for supporting others deepened.

Around 32 weeks into my pregnancy I found out that my little stinker was breech and I went to Kelly for help. We spent so much time together balancing and following breech protocols to get him to flip. Kelly always said “babies are sent here to teach us things” and she couldn't have been more right! Long story short, we tried absolutely everything to flip my baby, including TWO External Cephalic Versions (ECV) at the hospital.... My persistent little boy stayed breech through it all and was delivered via C-section, which was not my plan at all....At first I was very upset and frustrated and felt like my special experience was taken away, but in reality, I was given an opportunity to learn more about my body, my strength, and my values.

Through this experience I really thought about how important and special Kelly’s support was to me, it helped me develop a strong bond with my baby before he was born, and in my opinion, was the best part of my pregnancy. After experiencing this first hand, I wanted to be able to help others connect with themselves and their babies in the same way I had experienced.

Babies are truly sent here to teach us things and my driving force, desire, and wish is to help you learn to truly listen to them.

I look forward to being part of your journey!

Hey Mama!

My name is Jenni , I am a registered nurse specializing in labor and delivery, but also a new mom to a little boy!

Ever since childhood, I always knew I wanted to work with, and care for, mamas and their babies. Pregnancy, labor, and delivery are such special times for families…. but in the blink of an eye, can become utterly terrifying and difficult for many. I knew I was destined to not only provide care to, but also support mamas and families throughout this incredible and rewarding journey  to motherhood. Becoming a mom is the most amazing gift, and to be able to help families navigate their birth journey, is truly a blessing to me.

Similar to Sabrina, I met Kelly when she was working a travelling nurse. She was very well known for doing her “magic” to get babies delivered. She was especially know for helping the more stubborn ones!

At my 20 week ultrasound I had received the news that my little boy was breech…. I instantly knew who to call… I made my initial intake appt with Kelly, thus starting my proactive pregnancy journey!

Having a doula had never been part of my plan, but with the news of a breech baby, and having the medical knowledge I do, I became fearful of what my pregnancy journey and birth experience could become.

I started seeing Kelly for balance sessions at her recommended intervals, soon enough, my baby flipped and was no longer breech!

As a labor and delivery nurse, I witnessed the wide variety of birth experiences…. Some go very smoothly, while others are very traumatic. I, like many other mama’s found myself dreaming of a smooth unmedicated delivery, but had many doubts of this dream becoming my reality. Despite Kelly telling me very frequently that this would be my story, naturally,  I didn’t believe her because I knew exactly how rare this reality was with my first hand knowledge as a labor and delivery nurse. 

Kelly and I spent so much time together. I received release work, balance session, emotional support, educational support, and reassurance of my strength on a regular basis to prepare me for my birth experience.

I was proactive in my birth….
Because of this, I had my dream birth and then some….

My labor was less than 12 hours…..
I arrived at the hospital at 8cm dilated….
I delivered my baby boy unmedicated in just a couple pushes….

This expense showed me how strong my body is and what labor and delivery should be. From that very moment I knew I needed to be a part of this story…. I became immersed in the belief that more women need to know and receive support like this during their pregnancy…. This type of support and care is exactly what is lacking in today’s world. This experience opened my eyes to my new passion of providing this support to other mamas. Not only did it contribute to my dream delivery, I had a pain free pregnancy, resulting in my enjoying and loving my pregnancy journey.

Each Balance session showed me how to “talk” to my baby before he was earth side. With these techniques my husband and I were able to have jumpstart in bonding with our little boy. Because of my expierence, it has become my burning desire and driving force to help women experience this level of care that I was blessed with…. I truly believe that this is exactly my I am meant for, which is why I am here, working with these lovely ladies, to share this magic with others.

As much as I love working in labor and delivery, it’s just not the same in a hospital setting….Patients are in and out of the hospital so quickly, that it is nearly impossible to nurture and promote a lasting relationship of support and trust. Since working consistently and with mamas throughout their pregnancy and continuously in birth, has allowed me to build the relationships that are unfortunately missing in a hospital setting due to the current strain in healthcare.

Our bodies are meant for this….we just have to create space, find balance and trust in ourselves and our abilities….. it is truly a gift from God. Working with your body and your baby is the most special thing on earth and I can’t wait to help you to experience it!
