— Matthew 11:28

I’m Mannah!

(like hannah with an m)


I love Chipotle, being outside, knitting, and childbirth. My life was changed in ways I could never have imagined when I gave birth to each of my children. At my first birth, I was gobsmacked by a lack of informed consent and a loss of my autonomy. I became obsessed with learning about evidence-based, physiological birth practices and by the time of my second birth, the experience left me feeling exhilarated, empowered, and in complete awe of God’s design. I don’t want ANY mom to feel blindsided by birth the way I was.
