Summer 2021 Updates: A social media and blogging break, our current availability, lactation and sleep support, and more!

Brooke, Emily, Gina, and Meredith here! It’s been a while since we’ve last checked in and wanted to give a little update. June has already been such a wonderfully busy start to summer filled with births, sleep support, lactation visits, and all of the other inner workings of Gather. I mean, we know it’s not technically summer yet, but wow, does it feel like it outside!

You’ll notice us being a bit more quiet here on the internet. We’ll be taking a step back from the blog this summer to spend more time focusing on our families, our clients, the communities we serve, and a bit of summertime joy along the way! In between attending births over the next few months, each of us has at least one weekend getaway to look forward to! And while we won’t be resuming our weekly blog posts again until fall, check back occasionally for a peek at the spring and summer birth stories we are so honored to be able to document.

As far as birth availability goes, we’re very nearly booked for the year! We have only a handful of openings between now and the new year, so inquire ASAP to reserve your spot on our calendar. If you’re expecting in 2022, set up a consult with us! We always offer a complimentary call to get to know one another, answer any questions you might have, and talk through any next steps as you piece together your birth team.

If you’re looking for lactation or sleep support, we’re here for you. Click here to learn more about the support we offer for all the days after the birth of your baby. In addition to our infant support, we’d love to capture some sweet brand-new baby moments with an intimate Real Postpartum Session.

While we have you, have you checked out our Mutual Aid page? We’d love it if you contributed to one of the funds we’re highlighting!

It’s been one heck of a year already. We’ve transitioned from hospital restrictions to vaccinations, and all the while babies have continued coming into the world, filling us all with hope for the future. Our team is continuing to take every bit of precaution in keeping our families and those we work with safe, with everyone’s health and wellbeing at the forefront of our minds. We feel so grateful to be doing this work as a team, especially in the midst of a pandemic. Click here to learn more about the Gather Birth Team, or contact us to schedule a call together!
