So I did it. Made my first batch of sourdough bread. It was a soft sandwich loaf, and though it was amazing, it was way too much work. I am sure practice will help streamline the process, maybe a different recipe. Not giving up yet, but I don't have time for this hobby yet.

It is with great excitement that I announce that I will be taking over teaching and pool rentals from Hypnobirthing Hamilton.

For many years I have supported families through many styles of mindfulness and hypnosis for birth. What stands out for me with this approach is how inclusive it is. Clients would be more engaged with their surroundings and their partner. It is useful for helping people stay in their power through all birthing options. And people it has helped them not only for birth but in their regular day to day lives.

When Lara mentioned she wanted to ease out of teaching, I was worried that this unique style would get lost. I began teaching it, and gained an even deeper appreciation for the content. I am so honoured to be able to continue sharing this with families. I had been renting out TENS units, now adding birth pools, means people have more choice bringing comfort to their births.

Helping people create an easier, more peaceful, comfortable birth. - Michelle Haché

I want to be where the race cars are.
I want to see, want to see them racing.
Driving around on the, what do you call it again, oh right street.
Out where they reve, out where they run, out where they drive all day in the sun.
Out on the street
Happy to be
At the Honda Indy.

I do not enjoy the cold but I felt compelled to bundle myself up and head to the Labyrinth at Central Park. It was serenity. At first as I walked in my big, clunky, very warm winter boots I felt a bit awkward, at times unsteady and unbalanced. I put my focus on my breath, and walked mindfully. I realized how sacred Fridays are to me, and the importance of honouring my day off to do the things that allow me to realign, to give back to myself.

At the centre of the labyrinth I felt love flood into every cell of my being. I soaked it in. Walking back out of the labyrinth felt peaceful, and steady. As I prepared to step out of the labyrinth I took a moment and mindfully prepared to re-engage with the community from a place of love and compassion.

I continued with my day's errands of grocery shopping and felt a giggle inside as two employees engaged with me, not in the hustle and bustle, but sweet, I see you, connected conversation.

Feeling very grateful to live in a city with a labyrinth, that I am able to make time for myself to do things that fuel me, for a warm, down to my knees coat, and warm boots. Feeling the love and warmth on this gray day.

I absolutely love doing this session. If you haven't tried it yet it includes massage for the back, head, neck, and scalp. The session is both restorative and stimulating. When the weather is colder I turn the fireplace on to make it a super cozy experience. It is a wonderful way to nurture yourself as we move into the colder, and darker months. Looking forward to sharing this session with you soon.

The red tape restricting medications midwives can prescribe affect ~30 000 people accessing midwifery care each year. Support midwives' advocacy to remove unnecessary restrictions on their prescribing powers - so Ontarians can get the care they deserve:

The AOM is calling on all midwives, clients, and supporters to mobilize in response to government's proposed regulatory amendments to O. Reg. 884/93 (Designated Drugs) made under the Midwifery Act, 1991, which regulates the list of drugs that midwives are allowed to prescribe. Take action now! Click...

Halloween hootenannies. Once the trick-o-treaters have gone I am off to see Saw X.

What a day. My mama, kiddo, a giant bag of cotton candy, Tequila Paloma, and Cirque du Soleil, followed by dinner on a patio. Kooza was amazing. Then watched F1 qualifying, and Checo took pole. 🎆 Life is good.
