a new chapter

I am really not entirely sure what this next chapter of atticii studio will be, all I know is I am not the same woman as I was before I had little pops. In a way that I am now truly proud of.

I feel ready to hold the space in a whole new way and I cannot wait to begin to share new and creative offerings, little by little with the world.

tuesday was my first 1:1 session in over six months with an existing client - and it felt SO GOOD. that is a sign to me, to gradually offer the space - again and again.

never have I ever felt into my bones the importance of looking after self amidst the chaos, finding your people amidst the chaos and showing up in small ways for you, amidst the undeniably (beautiful) chaos.

slowly but surely the studio is coming to life again - with little poppy as my number one studio guru

words that moved me - for our friday 🤍

‘you never really know the true impact you have on those around you. you never know how much someone needed that smile you gave them. you never know how much your kindness turned someone’s entire life around. you never know how much someone needed that long hug or deep talk. so don’t wait to be kind. don’t wait for someone to be kind first. don’t wait for better circumstances or for someone to change. just be kind, because you never know how much someone needed it’ - words by - thank you 🙏

to all the women 🤍 you are so much more than ‘pretty’ - you are extraordinary- today and everyday.

our wonder girl is earthside - never have we ever, ever felt a greater love and my goodness she is beyond my wildest dreams.

at 9:42pm on sunday the 18th of february, 10 days early ‘poppy roo fraser’ came into the world with a loud cry straight off the bat, the most beautiful bright eyes and weighing 2.8kg.

we are truly doing so well and are in absolute awe of her - soaking it all in.

she was born a star gazer 💫 (posterior) the little adventurer.

sim was genuinely the best birth support I could have asked for and the staff were fabulous 😭

we are now adjusting to our new normal and gosh it feels good. 🤍

I’m so looking forward to sharing all the little (and big things) that this journey is teaching us. she’s given me a fire in my belly.

big, big love to you all and I hope today has been kind to you

ps. pops’ just wondering, since she passed her hearing test could you drop us your favourite song to add to her ‘pops’ mix’ playlist?

gestational diabetes 🍉

hello beautiful humans I’ve been meaning to share my experience of gestational diabetes in the hope that it helps somebody that perhaps feels alone in it all.

I wanted to share some things that have helped me to manage GD, process it and still thrive throughout the final weeks of pregnancy.

when I was diagnosed it brought up a lot for me, I blamed myself, of course, but mainly it brought up a lot around the diet culture that I had worked so hard to let go of over the last couple of years. suddenly I was back thinking about every single thing that I put in my mouth and the relaxed attitude that I had towards food at last had gone out the window.

not only that but I tried so hard to be ‘the perfect patient’ and still my blood sugar levels were not perfect. after trying and trying to control it just via diet I surrendered to medication and I’m so grateful I did.

this was such a game changer for my mental and physical health and the health of our little baby gal.

some things that really helped me;
finding + following the .diabetes.nutrition , who decreases so beautifully the stigma and shame that sometimes comes with gestational diabetes and the misunderstanding of the causes of it. as soon as I started following her account, I felt so much more at ease and I no longer blamed myself for the diagnosis. what a gift that is, thank you.
I focus on mindful nourishment and try not to think about the things that I cannot have with ease right now, and instead focus on the things that I can have with ease and that keep my blood sugar nice and balanced and are also delicious
I try for the most part to balance every meal + snack with a carb, protein and fat - the account above has loads of tips on this too
a gentle walk or movement after a meal
drinking enough water
managing stress through movement + meditation (always a work in progress to be consistent) - when I’m stressed I can guarantee a higher level
the realisation that GD is so much more common than I thought, and that I am not alone
trusting that I’m enough and surrendering to the process

all these things have helped my mental health massively, too 🫶🏼

and after all of that, I genuinely think it’s happened for the better 🤍 it’s meant I’ve eaten more consistently, and more nourishingly, so I’ve had more energy and felt much more balanced, it’s meant I’ve moved more mindfully - and once I accepted my body needed the extra support with medication everything has fallen into alignment - it’s all gooood

the placenta is a wild and wonderful thing and something that we have no control over. we do though, have control over is being kind to ourselves throughout the process, knowing that we can manage it and have a beautiful healthy baby at the end of it all

day twenty one - of 21 days of loving intention ✨🫶🏼

for your beautiful mind on day twenty one;
write a letter to your future self - two years from now - what are you proud of yourself for? what does life look like now? how are you taking care of yourself? feel into your bones how good it feels to be living in more alignment, feel your energy, your love

a mantra for your day or your week

‘I choose to take care of myself, every single day’

and words to take with you moving forward;

‘with light upon your shoulders, find the courage you are seeking in the simple act of breathing, slow and careful breaths, taking moments, step by step, trusting full within the depths that even in the mystery there is a brave new chance to be’ -

remind yourself you are so loved, so strong and so brave. go gently.

I am so grateful to have shared these days with you - thank you for sharing them with me,

regardless of how many times you picked up a pen and paper, or took some deep belly breaths, I hope you feel proud that you chose to care for yourself in the first place.

the tiny guide to meditation and the journal guide for your mind will be available for you always and I hope they feel like a safe place to come back to whenever you need them.

feel free to let me know how you found the 21 days, any breakthroughs or discoveries you’ve had and please give yourself a big warm hug. I’ll be cheering you on from here, from now. true as true
