- A true blessing
Natalie, where do I even begin? From the moment I’ve found out I’m pregnant I’ve been excited and anxious about what’s to come, and your podcast has really helped me put more faith in God and keep Him at the forefront of this biggest blessing in my and my husband’s life. Thank you for all you’re doing for mamas out there!

Hearing Natalie talk about her doula experience and insight is such a treat! She has a wonderful heart for equipping soon-to-be moms and loving the families she gets to work with, all while sharing the gospel. Her knowledge and child birth education course were blessings to have access to.
Apple Podcasts5itsportmanUnited Statesa year ago - Packing with Peace
Listened to Packing with Peace today and the end talking about "the most important thing I'm bringing to the hospital is my faith in God who has been knitting this baby together from the beginning" just got me. Thank you so much for this sweet encouragement and reminder that He is in control and we can trust Him!! 🤍
Apple Podcasts5vlynnUnited Statesa year ago - “Am I in Labor?”
I listened to the episode “Am I in Labor” today, at 42+3. It was so encouraging and a full of wonderful reminders. It’s been 8 years since I’ve given birth, and I really needed this. Especially the encouragement and prayer at the end. We are planning a home birth and my midwife is also a strong Christian. We are trusting the process but I admit, I’m getting antsy. Thank you! Can’t wait to listen to more!
