Well Worth Watering offers soul-nourishing prenatal classes, lactation guidance, and postpartum care rooted in faith, rest, and renewal.


A lot on your mind? You are not alone.

Excitement and worry have been hallmarks of pregnancy for generations. I’ve been there myself; slow dancing with the unique set of "what-ifs" that come with pregnancy, birth and life after baby.

I know what it’s like…navigating anxiousness and discouraging maternal health stats, but determined to keep a firm grip on the wisdom that I was certain grew alongside my babies.

Though I couldn’t name them, I knew there were gems lovingly tucked into each birth journey, waiting to be unearthed. And you wanna know something?

Every birth is a threshold.

Birth isn’t just about survival.

The way you remember your birth matters!

Before your baby arrives and long after the meal trains end, your well-being matters.

 

So…take a deep breath.

 

and picture yourself…

• At ease with the birth process.

• Growing a pain-coping mindset.

• Releasing fears about birth.

• Healing holistically after birth.

Well Worth Watering celebrates the anticipation and transformation of birth through soulful prenatal classes, nourishing lactation support, and postpartum care that honors your full journey.

Testimonials
I cannot recommend Lou-Ann more highly. She was so healing during my postpartum experience.

“We don’t have family here to help us, and when I found Lou-Ann, and we talked, I knew she was a perfect fit. She is kind, caring, intentional, listens well, genuinely cares about the health and well-being of both me and my child, and overall was such a calming presence. Postpartum has been difficult. This is my first baby. I did not know what to expect, but I know I was exhausted. Her presence allowed me to do some things that helped take care of "me" and offered me an opportunity to collect myself, rest, and recover to be a better mom for my newborn.”

– Madison

 
 

For your becoming. For your healing.

Meet Lou-Ann

After two very different births of my own, I know how much informed birth classes and compassionate postpartum care can contribute to your well-being. Birth is a sacred season. And I would be honored to pour into yours.

Instead of filling it only with things for the baby, they’re creating space for support—funds that allow them to hire a lactation professional, take a birth class, or welcome a postpartum companion into their home.

Whether or not you consider yourself religious or spiritual, that picture of breath as something more than just oxygen can be deeply reassuring during birth. Breathing for birth is vital—but it’s also timeless. It’s not just oxygen; it’s alignment. It’s a rhythm that has carried humanity through both ordinary days and extraordinary thresholds for generations.
