Breastfeeding is natural… but that doesn’t mean it always comes naturally.

Research continues to show that birthing persons who receive breastfeeding education before baby arrives are more likely to feel confident, feed longer, recognize what’s normal, and ask for support sooner when challenges come up.

That’s exactly why we created this class. 🤍

Our June Breastfeeding Class is intentionally kept small so you don’t feel lost in a room full of people.

This is a supportive, judgment-free space where you can ask questions, learn hands-on skills, and leave feeling more prepared for those first hours and weeks postpartum.

Inside this class, we’ll talk about:
• what to expect in the first few days
• latch & positioning
• how to know baby is getting enough
• pumping & bottle questions
• common feeding challenges
• partner support
• what’s actually normal in the early postpartum days

Led by our IBCLC in the warm atmosphere of Pelvic Love Massage Therapy, this class is designed to help you walk into postpartum with more confidence, less fear, and real support behind you.

📅 June 3rd 6-8 pm
📍 Small group setting
✨ Limited spots available to keep the experience personal

Because feeding support should start before baby arrives.

When someone asks me if they should bounce on a yoga ball for 6 hours to start labor…”

No, my love. 😂

Your baby is not ignoring the memo to come because you didn’t do enough figure 8s on an exercise ball.

Movement can absolutely help support comfort, positioning, and progression in labor…

BUT there is a difference between supporting your body and exhausting it trying to make labor happen.

By the end of pregnancy, so many women are:
-walking curbs
-eating dates
-drinking raspberry leaf tea
-bouncing until their hips hurt
-trying every “natural induction” trick on TikTok

…while already running on little sleep and a tired nervous system.

Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do is:
-rest
-hydrate
-nourish yourself
-regulate your nervous system
-stop treating your body like it’s failing.

Labor is a physiological process.

Not a performance.

And if your body needs support balancing for birth, that’s where we come in. 🤍

To the moms in the thick of it.
The moms who are exhausted.
The moms healing.
The moms grieving.
The moms longing.
The moms trying.
The moms holding babies in their arms, and the moms holding babies in their hearts.

Today, we celebrate you.

Motherhood is not one story.
It’s birth, loss, hope, waiting, love, sacrifice, resilience, and deep, fierce care in all its forms.

Whether you became a mother through pregnancy, adoption, fostering, IVF, surrogacy, loss, or loving others with a mother’s heart… you matter here.

And to the women carrying invisible pain this Mother’s Day, infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, estrangement, postpartum struggles, or the ache of wanting to be a mom, we see you too.

Sending love to every kind of momma today.

You are worthy of care, support, softness, and celebration. 🤍

— Love,
Pelvic Love Massage Therapy

I love receiving texts from my patients and clients… thought I would share a few of them with you.

The life of a doula & pregnancy/postpartum RMT!!

🎙️ Good morning mommas

Today I had the absolute honour of sitting down on CKBG 107.9 – The Burg with Megan Boschin, the host of Fitness Fridays.

This conversation meant so much to me, not just because we talked about Deborah the Doula and the work that I do, but because it was two women sitting at the table, supporting each other, sharing space, and having real conversations that matter.

When women uplift women, when we create room for each other’s voices, that’s where real change happens, for moms, for families, and for our communities 🤍

Behind every number is a mother trying her best.

💔 1 in 5 experience anxiety or depression in the transition to motherhood.
💔 2 out of 3 don’t reach their breastfeeding goals.
💔 Su***de is the leading cause of maternal death across multiple countries.

This isn’t a failure of mothers, it’s a failure of support.

Motherhood deserves compassion, community, and care that meets women where they are.

You are not weak for needing help. 🤍

This sitting position isn’t harmless 🚫

When you sit with one leg wrapped or dropped outward, you push your hip into excessive external rotation. Over time, that creates a chain reaction your body has to manage 👇

⚠️ Increased strain through the inner thigh (adductors)
⚠️ Uneven load through the pelvic floor
⚠️ Tension + irritation at the SI joint
⚠️ Pelvic imbalance → hip, low back, or deep pelvic pain

Your nervous system reads this as instability 🧠

So muscles grip. Brace. Hold.

That “tight” feeling?
❌ Not strength.
❌ Not core engagement.
✔️ It’s compensation.

If you sit at a desk, drive often, or default to this position daily… your body keeps the receipts 🧾

Try this instead:
🪑 Feet flat & grounded
🧍‍♀️ Hips level
⚖️ Weight evenly on your sit bones

Your pelvis should feel supported, not twisted into survival mode.

Save this 💾 and of course follow us for all things pregnancy & postpartum related.

Your hips will thank me later 😉

If you ever think about me…

Know that I’m living a full life, one cup of coffee, one birth, one moment at a time.

And I’m still here, doing what I love. 🤍
