Quick & Easy Homemade Lactation Treats:
My name is Alexis and I’m the owner and founder of Breast and Bear. My son Koda and our breastfeeding journey is the inspiration behind my business. I wanted to make lactation treats and drinks available for all moms. All of my products are gluten and dairy free to help those moms who might have dietary restrictions, like I did! The ingredients are prepared so you can bake and mix them yourself. You can even add your own touches such as nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit! Breastfeeding is an amazing thing but can be difficult at times so my products help to make it just a tad easier! My goal is to help all mothers have a beautiful and healthy breastfeeding journey! You can order Breast and Bear products here!

Photographer:
I am bold and fearless when it comes to loving my family. I wish I could document everything all the time; every giggle, every first step and even every ouchy that creates this wild yet wonderful journey of motherhood, but I can’t do that and neither can you. So I’m here that way when you do get to, I can help pull out those emotions and freeze them for a lifetime! With motherhood comes struggles but it’s the most beautiful and wonderful time in a woman’s life. Far to often we forget to prioritize documenting this marvelous journey. Sometimes we fear how our kids will behave or we just haven’t thought about the day that will come when we can’t hold our littles anymore. We don’t think about what it’ll be like later down the road and missing those memories, not having them in a frame or canvas to remind us of those days when we held their tiny hands; and then life passes by. We all have memories in our minds but to see it helps us re-live those moments more vividly. Your children will grow up to bring their children or even their children’s children to show them all the love you had and where they came from. A photo is more than a photo, it’s a family heirloom and I strive to capture candid and authentic emotions so you can remember just how you felt in that moment even 20 years down the road. My greatest joy is getting to witness the beautiful transformations you go through on your journey while capturing the most precious milestones in your life.

Midwife/ Birthing Center:
Special Delivery Midwifery Care & Birth Center
Our midwives have more than 45 years of experience attending births at home and in the birth center. Special Delivery Birth Center opened in May 2012 providing a comfortable and safe place to labor, birth, and bond with their new baby. Located near 71st and Yale, this south Tulsa location is within minutes of 3 hospitals and within one mile of a major hospital. This location allows us to have close proximity in case of an emergency but with the comforts of home. Our facility also offers comfortable offices and a family-friendly waiting room. We welcome your calls to schedule a time to meet a midwife, tour the facility, and ask all your questions.
Ruth Cobb, CNM, APRN- Believes birth is a natural physiological process that when nurtured, but otherwise left alone, will function beautifully. I am very aware that as a midwife, complications in birth need to be managed; however, as a rule I do not believe that normal birth must be “managed.”
As a Christian, I believe that God created the woman’s body to powerfully and wonderfully bring forth children. Through the years, I have watched and assisted in this process with awe and respect. I believe this is the most incredible physical event we experience. Next to God and my family, there is nothing that gives me more satisfaction. I will try my best to be what you need. That means giving you the support, love, time, information and skilled midwifery care that will ensure an enjoyable home birth.
I believe midwifery to be a “calling” and feel blessed to have the gift of midwifery in my life.
