SORRY!!

I've been a little MIA from my business page. This is because my partner and I made a huge move from England to Canada and then decided to embark on a HUGE roadtrip across America🇺🇸

I will be back with more Doula & Nutrition content this Winter. But until then, please check out & follow our travel page 🚘

While being in the UK I have taken a break from my Doula work but I am still keeping myself creative and busy. I have now opened my own Etsy shop with customized prints for your living space and specifically a section on baby nurseries & children wall prints.
I hope you can spare a moment to follow & share when possible for a small local business.🍂🍁

I mean this from the bottom of my heart...

If ANYONE is not working/not getting a paycheck and runs out of food or necessities or times are just tough... Please don’t let your kids go to sleep with an empty stomach. Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to send me a private message. We are more than happy to share whatever we can. We will drop and go. No one has to know and we will pretend it never happened. What's understood never has to be explained! It’s not your fault! We’re here to help!


Copy and paste if you can help

It is completely normal during pregnancy to not feel yourself, not feel beautiful, not feel like you're glowing and NO ONE should tell you to feel different.
▪
This is YOUR experience and what you're feeling is valid. Period. There is always support available and you should never feel undervalued or silenced.

This is so important👏💜

What do you do when life falls a part?

Because we all know it does sometimes. Healing is not linear and is never a straight line upwards. There are bumps and bruises along the way.

So its good to know what are your go to’s when things are hard. I know for me I look to writing and creative outlets. I like to get whatever it is inside me out. Release it in a way. This is why I recommend journalling for so many of my clients trying to make a hard shift. Some look to food and others look to conversations or verbal release.

Whatever it is you do here are some things I find helpful in keeping us moving when we may feel stuck.

✍️ Journal - it can bring up so many aha moments or new perspectives.
💪🏻 Movement - either hiking, walking, swimming… just get your body moving so your mind can follow.
🎶 Music - we all know music can heal the soul.
🥘 Nourishing food - if you turn to food try making something delicious that you love but that also nourished your body. It will feel like a gift.
👯‍♀️ Community - Reach out and ask for support fi you need it.
🌲 Get outside - this is arguably one of the most important ones. Get into fresh air and let nature do its magic!
📖 Reading - find a good book that inspires you!

An empty bucket.

April 19-25, 2020 was National Infertility Awareness Week

And this is my bucket of hope for those of you who struggle with fertility issues. In general, "infertility" is defined as the inability to conceive after >1 of trying.

Did you know...
1 in 8 women struggle with infertility
1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage
1 in 100 pregnancies are affected by stillbirth.

But there is a rainbow after every storm.

You are not forgotten. We are praying for you, sending you love, and saving you a bucket. One day, your miracle will arrive and the bucket will no longer be empty. Your arms will no longer be empty. And your heart will be more full than you realized was possible.

I look forward to photographing your miracle.

❗**I cannot take credit for starting the buckets of hope. If you know who did, please have them comment or send me a message so I can give credit where credit is due. I never expected this post to be seen as much as it has!**

This is an interesting time to be giving birth. Whether you have a present partner, an absent partner, a friend/family member or yourself, you can still make this birth what you need it to be.

Focus on you, what you need, what you want. Do not let fear bring you down, embrace it, breathe it in & let it go.
You👏Do👏You

This is not what you had planned. This is not what you’d envisioned. There are no visits from friends, no loving doula bringing you soup, no “mommy and me” yoga classes, no coffee dates, no stroller walks through the park. There is empty space where you had planned comfort and company. There are long days with no one but your little one to talk to and this big transition to navigate all alone.
I know it’s lonely, mama. I know the walls of your house feel tight and the days feel so long, and you crave a warm hand on your knee and the soft embrace of a friend. You wish for someone by your side to marvel at this beautiful baby of yours and to wrap an arm around you when the feelings get too big and scary.
We were never meant to do this alone. Motherhood has never been a solitary sport. And yet here we are, in this odd chapter of isolation and distance, with no choice but to do it by ourselves.
But mama, know this- We are alone. Together. You are surrounded all the other mothers who are navigating this tender time in isolation. You are held by all of us who have walked the path before you and who know how much you must be hurting. You are wrapped in the warm embrace of mama earth, as she too settles into this time of slowness and healing.
This too shall pass. And when it does, hugs and coffee dates and visits from friends will taste so much sweeter. Soft kisses on your cheek and arms around your waist and gentle laughter in your ear will be the joyful medicine after this trying time.
Until then, hunker down mama. Find the coziest, warmest spot on your couch, sink into the pile of unfolded laundry, and sleep the Spring away, with that sweet babe warm on your chest.
