Hi I'm Natalie. I am so glad that you're here! I am a board certified lactation consultant and mother of two. My passion is helping families feed their babies and navigate the journey into motherhood. My approach is simple, I meet families where they are at and then I help them grow their vision to meet their feeding goals. Each family is unique and I take care to honor their choices and paths to success. Success looks different for everyone.

I am Whitney and pregnancy and motherhood have changed me forever in a million beautiful ways. After years of knowing I wanted to be a healer, I earned a bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of New Mexico with the original intention of going to medical school afterwards. I became disenchanted with the medical field and then became a yoga teacher and yoga studio owner as I was searching for how to fulfill my calling in integrity. Birth work finally found me after I became a mother myself and this has become my focus! Within the same year of giving birth, I became a certified doula. I am a lifelong learner who is continuing independent midwifery studies and who is in the middle of Birthkeeping school with Whapio of La Matrona. I have much to offer in my service including with yoga, meditation, essential oils, herbal remedies, homeopathy, and deep anatomical understanding. The biggest thing I want to help women with is learning how to dream big when it comes to their labors and then giving women the tools to make that dream become a bit more possible as a birth coach, educator, and doula/Birthkeeper. I recently had a very blissful labor journey with my second baby and I can't wait to help other women find similarly blissful/orgasmic/ecstatic births of their own!

As your doula, I will provide judgement free support through education that will help guide you through your pregnancy and empower you to make informed decisions.

Hi! I'm Kate Buckles. Thanks for visiting my page! I'm a Midwestern girl with a love for people and photography. Although I'm not a native New Mexican, this place has really grown on me. When I'm not running in the bosque or chasing after my boys, I'm out taking photos of life's most beautiful moments for my clients. I'm so honored you've considered me to do the same for you. I've always loved photography and that love grew when I had babies of my own. I wanted to document every moment with my little darlings and realized that most mamas do too. Shout out to the borderline obsessed mamas with no remaining iPhone memory because you have 1000s of photos of your precious babies that you just can't seem to part with.We cherish these moments because they go by so quickly. As your photographer, I want to capture the laughs, the smiles, the joy, the tears...all of it. I'm all about creating an amazing experience and having fun along the way. Thank you for letting me capture your life's most beautiful moments. Love, ​Kate
