The power of continuity.
When your care provider knows you deeply and shows up for every chapter, the care feels different.

Continuity of care allows midwives to practice to their full scope, and families to feel truly supported.

Sounds like a win-win right?

Who is internal pelvic release for?

It’s for anyone holding tension, discomfort, or emotional heaviness in their pelvis. For those with pain during s*x, after birth, or during their cycle. For people recovering from birth, trauma, or just feeling disconnected from this part of themselves. For those who want to connect with their bodies in preparation for birth or other events, without any concerns.

In short – for anybody!

This gentle, respectful work helps create space, awareness, and softening; in the body and beyond.

Wow.

Kelly and Marita had the BEST time at this weekend. We loved sharing our live pictures & videos, but some of them just had to have a permanent spot on our grid. Very hard to choose just 10 after all of our fun!

Hearts, brain and cups are full to the brim. Grateful for the chance to learn, connect, and return to our families with fresh ideas and renewed energy.

You will not master breastfeeding in 3 days, and you’re not meant to.

This is your reminder that breastfeeding is something you and your baby learn together over time. It’s okay if it takes practice and support.

Soften your expectations. Go gently. And reach out if you need guidance, we’re here for you.

We have breastfeeding workshops for you to learn the basics before your baby comes, free feeding drop-ins run by a lactation consultant where you can meet other parents & get some tips and 1:1 clinical appointments for more tailored advice.

Bianca and Cam’s third home birth was both slow and fast!
It all started with Bianca’s waters releasing at 3am on a Wednesday, followed by 18 hours of irregular surges that came and went. After choosing to have a gentle stretch and sweep from their midwife Marita on Thursday morning, labour quickly intensified.

Within an hour, their beautiful baby girl, Jagger Sofia, was born at home, surrounded by love and calm. A powerful and unforgettable home birth experience for this beautiful family.

We’re so grateful to families sharing their stories with us so that we can show how positive birth can be! Head on over to our wesbite if you would like to read their story in Bianca’s words.
Please show them some love & gratitude in the comments!

We’re not saying Sarah is here so much that she’s becoming one with her environment… but we’re also not saying it!

One of our team members popped in for a debrief and immediately burst out laughing & took this picture.

So.. who wore it best?!

The Bayside midwives coming together for group education, reflection, case conferencing and connection.

Ongoing learning and shared wisdom is such a big part of how we care. It’s also a huge way that we continue to keep each other grounded & supported while we do such soul work.

And of course, no gathering is complete without cuddles from the mini-midwives in the family!

This world breastfeeding week, we’re celebrating the community connection & learnings that come from people coming together in postpartum!

In our free feeding drop ins, we see amazing parents show up as they are, meet others in the same season, and build their confidence. Support from our LC team is always available, but we really see the value in the village learning from one another in action.

Happy breastfeeding week - come join us if you feel like you need a little bit more support, connection or celebration during your feeding journey!
