What a beautiful beginning at Gardenview! 🌿
Wednesday evening, Fiona and I welcomed a fabulous group of midwives, doulas, student midwives, birth assistants, lactation professionals, and others who support families throughout the birth journey. The Coach House was full to the brim, and my heart certainly was too! 🤩
The evening was filled with meaningful conversation, new connections, thoughtful ideas, and so much encouragement as we toured the spaces and explored how Gardenview might serve local and traveling homebirth families before, during, and after birth.
I’m deeply grateful to everyone who came, shared their experience, asked questions, and helped me imagine what this peaceful place could become. Hearing that there is a genuine need for flexible, welcoming accommodations has left me even more excited to see where God leads.
This is only the beginning, and I’m so thankful for the beautiful community already gathering around this vision. 💕
If you are a birth professional—or know a family who may benefit from Gardenview—I would love to connect!
P.S. I was having so much fun visiting that not everyone who attended made it into the photos, but I’m so grateful for each person who came and contributed to such a meaningful evening.
A special thank-you to Julia for capturing several of these moments—and to everyone pictured for allowing me to share them. 🥰
