I see you mama!

πŸ’œThe ones who need things to be done correctly

πŸ’œThe one who shows up for everyone else and puts her own needs last.

πŸ’œThe one that feels like they ask for "too much" or have standards "too high".

These traits can make postpartum a STRUGGLE.

Maybe it really just means that you need safety, security, comfort and love.

Good news, these are all just symptoms of underlying limiting beliefs that we can sit with, understand, and move on from!

As a recovering people pleaser myself, I can tell you the water is beautiful on the other side πŸ˜‰

During Postpartum, your healing and mental health matter just as much as your baby's needs.

These are a few of the things I always check in about in my initial consult.

βœ…οΈ Is mom eating? Is she eating nutrient dense foods? Is she drinking enough water?

βœ…οΈ Is mom able to take time to go for a walk? Or do some stretches?

🌟Did you know that movement can create better quality sleep?!🌟

βœ…οΈ How much sleep is mom currently getting? Are there ways that we can maximize this? Is mom having a hard time falling asleep? Is mom waking even without external stimuli?

🌟I always say mom should be getting at least 4 hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep each night. We often include this in our goals.🌟

βœ…οΈ Does mom have space to care for herself? What does the support system look like? Is there space built in for activities that mom enjoys?

πŸ’œ Mom is the most important piece of the puzzle πŸ’œ

These seemingly small things can have a huge impact on mental health and recovery.

Maybe a sweet little πŸ“© send of this post to your support system would helpful?

"I feel like I can be present with my kids now"

"I feel like I have a voice that I can use and express myself more clearly"

"I feel so much lighter!" (This is the most common one πŸ˜‰)

"Thank You" πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯ΉπŸ₯Ή

God, I love this work!

TW: birth trauma

The experience of birth trauma often isn't as obvious as you may think it is.

It's not only in those moments of fear,

But can be found in those moments of helplessness.

Those moments of not being heard or understood.

Those moments of rushed decisions.

You may not understand why you feel "off".

You may not understand why you feel disconnected.

The good news is,

Is that we can put all those puzzle pieces back together.

You get to feel yourself again.

You get to feel connected to yourself and to your family.

Please reach out for support with a specialized provider!

You're worth it, Mama ❀️

I was watching this interview yesterday by with neuroscientist .suzuki and was kinda chuckling to myself.

Here, they are talking about brain health, and yet some of the most common issues we see with new moms are being shared as the main problems with brain health!

βœ…οΈ Poor Sleep
βœ…οΈ Sedentary Lifestyle
βœ…οΈ Isolation

So when I say - PRIORITIZE SLEEP, I mean it!!

Going for walks or checking out are great options for movement!

And seeing friends, family or joining "the group chat" can be great options to combat that isolation!
and.body
Are other great options to find community and time with some great people!

What are your favourite tips and tricks that helped with Sleep, a sedentary Lifestyle and isolation postpartum??

Burnout doesn't look like a haunted house, but it sure can feel like one when you are an exhausted mom trying to hold everything together!

What else would you add to this list that feels like a haunted house?

Burn out doesn't mean that you are broken, it just means that you have been carrying too much, for too long.

Join us on November 29th & December 6th for the "Burnt Out Mother Workshop".

These sunflowers were resilient!

So many things could have stopped them,
🐿 being pulled out right from the get go,
🐿 being chopped in half just as they are getting started
🌬 and falling over as things got really big and were looking promising.

🌻 So take this as a lesson from nature. 🌻

🀰 Maybe being a mom has been hard from the get go for you,

πŸ‘©β€πŸΌ Maybe you got chopped down just as you though you were getting a hang of things,

πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦ Or maybe you blew way over just as you seemingly reached the peak,

YOU get to choose how you respond.

YOU get to choose if you still blossom πŸ₯°

It IS possible to heal that birth trauma!!

And what a difference in can make in your day to day life to be free of that trauma.

To be able to tell the story of your birth without bursting into tears.

To be able to feel like yourself again.

My client today said "What a difference it makes - a traumatic birth vs. Non-traumatic birth".

What a powerful statement coming from someone who πŸ’«felt traumatized by her first birth experience,
πŸ’«dove into healing that trauma and anxiety with me,πŸ’«experience a second birth where she described it as peaceful and well informed (during a C-section might I add)
πŸ’« and now feeling anxiety free at home recovering postpartum.

TW: suicide

This is a heartbreaking statistic that shouldn't have to exist.

But it does.

And, considering the lack of funding and specialized supports and resources available,

It can be easy to understand.

It might feel like the only escape to a mother who is depressed, anxious, and sleep deprived.

Sometimes, it is the result of postpartum psychosis.

Either way,

I see these mothers working tirelessly to be the best mother they can be.

They LOVE their child(ren).

And

They are severely under-supported.

And often feel a lot of shame about having thoughts of suicide.

So please, let's keep this a shame-free conversation.

The more we discuss these things, the more mothers we will save,

And the less people will feel alone.

❀️ I promise that my space will always be a judgment free zone ❀️

Check in on your own needs.

Check in on your friends.

Ask for help.
