🌾 WE’RE BACK, MAMAS + FAMILIES OF THE PRAIRIES! 🌾
Season 2 of Birthing on the Prairies is officially opening recording spots! 🎙️✨

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to share your story — the raw, real, powerful journey of how your baby came into this world — I would be honored to hold that space with you.

Whether your birth was unmedicated, epidural, cesarean, home birth, hospital birth, fast, long, surprising, empowering, or beautifully complicated… your story matters here. 🤍

I’m opening 12 spots for Season 2, and I’d love to feature families from across the prairies.

👉 Head to my website to submit the recording form and claim a spot!
Let’s keep building this prairie-rooted tapestry of stories — one birth at a time.

They told her:
“You’ll change your mind.”
“Your too soft”
“You’ll never manage without the epidural.”
“I needed meds , so you definitely will too.”

She said:
…Watch me 🌊💪🏻

Because birth isn’t about luck or pain tolerance — it’s about support, informed decision making, safety, and being trusted in your power.

Every birthing person deserves to know: you absolutely can.

** But, Just so we are clear & people read this the wrong way. the “they” isn’t a direct at hospital staff. When I say “they,” it could mean anyone — our moms, sisters, friends, partners, or even that little voice inside ourselves. I love nurses & nurses love me lol **

This quote from @kalliecaton has been echoing in my mind ever since she shared it in her stories weeks ago: birth is birth. No more comparisons—it’s meant to be discovered.

I'M KRISTY COOPER

I'm a small-town mama, prairie doula, wife, and human who's imperfectly leading others to hold space for Albertan Families.

I’m here to share stories from the prairie, tender moments from birth work, and the very real juggle of motherhood, marriage, business, and holding space for #allthethings.

Let's hang out
