Just a little life update - unfortunately I won’t be taking on anymore birth work for 2024 and taking a hiatus. However, I will still be here cheering you all on 🤍 thank you for allowing me to support you through the most incredible roller coaster of your lives 🕊️

Did you know that when you become pregnant no matter how long for, whether it be a few short weeks or 10 moons and beyond, you will carry the DNA from your baby for as long as decades.

And just to blow your mind even more, there is some evidence that when the mother becomes injured, the cells from that dna rush to the site to help heal them.

You are divinely connected to your babies more than you can even know. Even the ones that can’t stay with us earth side.

I don’t know about you but I find such a deep comfort at that thought, there is no man made device or intervention that can break the connection between mothers and their babies.

If only you knew just how powerful your body is and never spoke a bad word about it again.

And how protected you are by your babies and angels 👼🏻

When I say you’re in charge of your own experience, this is what I mean..

My role as a doula is something I take very seriously as well as your experience and how you are respected. I’m not in the business of taking any power away from you. So here’s a list of things I won’t do as your doula and why it’s important that you are in charge of your experience 🕊️

Hey guys 👋

I haven’t posted in a while but I’m still very much here, my DM’s are open.

Motherhood and life is kicking me in the ass at the moment and social media is like having a whole other job sometimes so I’m allowing myself to not be focused on posted or applying pressure on my self to always show up because life is demanding me right now.

I’m currently sat in the kids room giving feet tickles while my husband attempts to deal with the monstrosity that is our kitchen.

How’s your Friday night?

It is such an incredible honour to hold you through such a major life event.

I get to see your family evolve and expand not just just numbers but emotionally you go through so much growth.

It’s such a honour to bare witness to 🤍

Damn I really hate that common phrase that’s aimed towards Mothers..

“you don’t get a trophy for having a natural birth”

You hear it from older generations, you hear it from care providers and you hear it from other Mothers.

It gives me such an icky feeling - imagine saying that about anyone else’s birth choices.

I can’t quite understand why Mothers constantly get pitted against each other, we should be routing for each other and divinely supporting one another.

Motherhood is not a story of winners and losers, and we deserve better..

no matter how we bring our babes into the world, what choices we make whether they are within our control or not, I support and honour the Mother in you.

You are incredible and so completely needed 🙌🏻

I’m not here to show up at your birth to only hold your hand when baby is almost here.

Sometimes that may be all you need but we know birth isn’t linear and sometimes there’s days of frustration and fear to work through in the time leading up to your birth.

I’m here to hold it all, quite literally - I’m always thinking about you, how you are, what might be going through your mind and I always allow you to lead the way.

I’m here to hold you through the doubtful moment where you start to think, “can I actually do this?” - it can feel like no one can really understand the firecrackers going off in your brain and just how overwhelming it can be to feel stuck in limbo.

I get it - I mean I truly get it, and while I’m not here to save you, I’m right by your side reminding you that your body is doing exactly what it needs to, that you are safe, baby is safe, everything is as it should be and your birth will unfold exactly as it needs to, all within divine timing.

Trust, surrender and allow yourself to feel that frustration - because there is no rush, we can take all the time we need.

Your baby will be in your arms in no time, and soon enough you’ll be holding a 3 month old wondering where on earth the time went.

Allow yourself to visualise your dream postpartum.

What does it look like?

What does it feel like?

Who can you call for support?

How would you like to be taken care of?

What foods are you eating to nourish you?

How will you prioritise rest?

How will you plan for self care?

Think about those questions and give your self the space to answer them with your dream scenario.

You deserve a consciously planned postpartum sanctuary, you deserve to invest in your self knowing it will benefit your whole family, & dare I say even society as well.

We need Mothers who are taken care of, who’s postpartum’s are intentional, taking care of their own needs so they can have a softer landing into postpartum as they emerge back into the world feeling truly held by those around them.

When I tell you that you have everything you need within you already to birth your baby on your terms, I believe that to be as true as the sky being the colour blue.

You are the one doing all the work, all the research, all the advocacy, I’m simply there to remind you that you can and to bring you back to trust.

You being so confident and stepping into your own power means I’ve done my job and the rest is divine timing.

Then when you birth your baby, you’ll come to realise it was you all along.

You wanna what my toxic trait is?? 😬
Sometimes I don’t practice what I preach…

I remember this day so clearly.
Steve had gone back to work during this week and there I was just me with an 16 month old and a newborn.

That felt impossible to me at the time, how tf was I going to do this.

The pressure I applied on my self to make sure I had a spotless house while I learned how to juggle between my 2 babes and their very different needs.

Making sure everyone was sleeping when they needed, fed when they needed and everything was cool calm and collected.

Except I forgot the part where I needed to take care of my own needs.
I thought by keeping the house spotless I was helping to keep my own overwhelm at ease but I didn’t stop all day, I was constantly doing something and getting little rest.
You know just the biggest no-no for postpartum health.

This was the day I looked at the pile of washing behind me and said “f**k that”.
I wanted to just take at all in and snuggle with my fresh newborn while she slept on my chest and I didn’t worry about what else was going on or what needed doing.

I was doing exactly what I needed to do, bond with my baby and put my own needs first. I won’t ever make that mistake again, I vow to have a postpartum plan in place and make hubby take more then 3 days off!
