Hey There Friend, I'm Eve!

I'm a labor and delivery nurse, a certified birth doula and childbirth educator, and a Catholic wife and mama of two. I believe your body was designed by God with intention, and I started this show to help you trade fear for faith as you prepare to meet your baby.

Grab your coffee (I'll be drinking mine from our espresso machine) and pull up a chair. I'm so glad you're here.

From listeners
“So thankful to Eve and this work God has called her to… It’s hard not to wish I had her insights for my previous births. She is so so spot on in all that she educates on in terms of finding the right provider for you and being informed and empowered on what to expect and what your choices actually are. I highly recommend her course and this podcast to anyone preparing to have a Christ-centered birth.”
