Crystal Ferrell Headshot

Hello All! My name is Crystal and I am a wife, mom of five, birth doula, and placenta encapsulation specialist. I love all things birth and pregnancy related and I am deeply passionate about parenting, mothers, and living a natural life. I live in Clermont, Florida with my husband of ten years and five children ages 8, 6, 3, 2, and newborn.

I was never the type of girl that envisioned getting married or having children. I was all set on a career path and going to college when Christ and my husband came into my life and CHANGED EVERYTHING! After the birth of my first child I was HOOKED. My heart expanded tenfold and I found my true calling. I was not intended for a high power career job, I was meant to be a wife and stay at home mom. This is the most demanding and rewarding job I have ever encountered.

Being in the birth world I see all types of parents, and I also hear all the well-intended advice these new parents are given. I have come to realize our society is sorely lacking encouragement. There are all types of parents out there and as I grow in my parenting I am realizing we lack support from people who don’t agree with us. We are often criticized by those who are well meaning but hurtful. I want a space where we can be encouraged and focus on what unites us, not what separates us. I am a firm believer that God gave us each our own unique children because He knows what He is doing and He knew who we’d parent the best.

So whether you choose to bottle feed or breast feed, naturally birth or opt for c section, homeschool or public, bio or adopted: We are all PARENTS first. My hope is to encourage and empower each of you in your specific walk in parenthood. We are all called to be parents, and it does take a village. I want to bring the village together on what binds us. I am so excited to begin this journey with you all on Mami of Multiples and I am eager to let you into my little section of the world.
