Beautiful words from a super strong, amazing Mumma - 🥰

I wholeheartedly recommend Meg to anyone looking for a Doula!!
She was invaluable during the birth of my daughter.

Meg had agreed to be my doula as a very last minute back up for somebody else that couldn't be with me that night.
She dropped everything to come immediately in the middle of the night, and even upon meeting her for the first time, I was instantly comfortable with her.

I was in so much pain and getting scared when I entered the hospital, but the moment she was there to greet me, with such a lovely and guiding presence, it was a huge game changer and really made me feel like it's going to be okay.

She came with a bag of helpful comfort items and also respected my wishes throughout the birth.

I had a water birth, she was an angel pouring warm water on my back and also keeping the space quiet and calm during my contractions.
It's so lovely to have the photos she took from the birth.

Thank you again, Meg ❤️💜

It’s the unseen moments — the late-night cuddles, the whispered “I love you’s,” and the endless patience — that shape a life in the most powerful ways. The work may seem quiet, but its impact stays forever. 💗

Doula support is not always about a birth…. Today I was with clients who needed additional scans and wanted clarity and support for follow up appointments. These support appointments help build our relationship…

Love, love, love these beautiful prints in RPA, so much about love and care.

Newborns grow so fast, and so do their tummies! From just 5-7mL on day one to 80-150mL at one month, your baby’s appetite is on the rise. 🍼 Your little one is getting bigger by the day—how quickly time flies when you’re in the baby stage! Keep up with all those feeds, mama! 💖

The glorious golden hour. Such sacred time. This is time we must protect and honour; for mother and baby’s sake. 💕

“🌠ᎢᎻᎬ ᏩᎾᏞᎠᎬN ᎻᎾᏌᎡ🌠

When you are able to hold off the fuss over mom and baby as much as possible and keep the two together within the first hour after birth nature is allowed to take its course.

“The Golden Hour”is a crucial time for mama and baby.

In each of their precious bodies, massive shifts are taking place as they adjust to life’s new transition. Two separate creatures within learning to be one without. An every day miracle.

💁🏽‍♀️What do you see happening?
I see:

🌸1st latch: establishing bond of trust, familiarity and nourishment. Surges of oxytocin constracting mom’s uterus. Protecting against hemorrhage.

🌸Vernix Caseosa: the white sticky substance lubricating that new skin (Don’t wash it momma, RUB IT IN)

🌸Gentle colonization of microorganisms which help baby adjust to the outside environment.

🌸Body temperature regulation, which babies in the beginning can have a hard time doing.

🌸 Trust developing, as the two new beings birthed through this process get to know eachother.

So much more takes place when you are able to allow yourself this special time.

Let it be a red flag when someone tells you that you don't need to make a birth plan. It's code for 'don't think about your birth". Because your care providers aren't just winging it. They have a plan.
