To the mothers bravely leaning in when you've been taught to lean away.
To the mothers staying curious as you meet new parts of yourself.
To the mothers learning and unlearning. Grieving and celebrating.
To the mothers who love fiercely and prove that softening doesn't mean shrinking.
To the mothers using the transformational power of motherhood as a reclamation.
Happy Mothers Day 🤍

With love,
Hayley & Steph 🌸

Postpartum anxiety - some days you can get out of the house and think “I’ve got this” - while others feel like you’re trapped by your own thoughts in a spiral of Googling “is _____ normal for a baby?!” or “is my baby doing ______ on time?!”.

Healing isn’t perfect, it isn’t linear - but it’s possible.

Be gentle with yourself when anxiety shows up in the moments that are supposed to be joyful too - the milestones, the changes, and everything in between.

A gentle reminder to you from my self and my recovering perfectionist parts - it’s okay to accept help when you need it 🤍.

Postpartum is a time for togetherness. Hayley and I deeply believe in walking alongside you in the journey of motherhood and sharing our honest truths of the full experience.

In awe of your strength and ability to heal,
Steph 🌸

In honour of Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, our Wearing Wednesday post this week is dedicated to sharing the potential mental health benefits of wearing your baby 🤍.

We know the psychological experience postpartum is very nuanced and each person’s unique circumstances and physical ability impact the use of carriers and participation in babywearing.

That’s why it’s SO important that if you’re not sure how babywearing might be able to support you, you can reach out to a babywearing consultant for credible advice and guidance.

Babywearing can be such a great tool in addition to proper postpartum care and a caring support system, to reinforce mental wellbeing during such a vulnerable time 🤍.

We hope you learned some new information this week and can’t wait to share more next Wednesday (including our booking link to our Pop-up Mom & Baby Circle at R&B Lavender Farm in Mt. Brydges, ON) 🪻

With compassion,
Steph, Hayley & Leah 🌸

In so many ways I feel as though I'm still deep in my becoming.

I'm not so sure we ever really stop?

This is my ever-evolving matrescence story. And an invitation to look at yours with more tenderness.

The discomfort, the disorientation, the fumbling, the feeling of the clothes not quite fitting - it was never a sign something was wrong.

It's you/me/us in the chrysalis.

It's us becoming 🤍

With you in it's unfolding,
Hayley 🌸

This week is maternal mental health awareness week so it felt right to start off with a share and I hope this resonates with some of you 🤍

Through the course of this week we hope to share some of own experiences postpartum to shed some light on what it was like for us and to hopefully bring some awareness to just how varied of an experience it can be!

The images popping up at the beginning of this reel are real screenshots I found in the archives of my photo album on my phone - and there were many others.

I remember it feeling so so hard in those early months to lean into what I felt was right, when everything was telling me to follow a schedule, or that my baby “should” be doing this or that. No surprise here, but my baby didn’t get that memo!!

For me, this caused months of intense anxiety (that included a very detailed log book of my baby’s every move 🫠). When I tell you it would have sent me into a spiral if my husband didn’t write down the number of minutes I was breastfeeding for lol …

I think it’s important to share this side of postpartum for other mothers to feel less alone. This is truly why we are doing this work 🤍.

Because it’s a lot. And you don’t have to do it alone, even though it might feel like you do. You don’t have to present yourself to the world like you’ve “got everything together” when all you need is someone to ask how you’re doing too.

If leaving the house feels hard - of course it does, you’ve got a whole new human to bring along with you.

If sleep feels confusing - of course it does when there’s so many opinions and voices.

If having a “routine” feels impossible - of course it does because every baby is different and there is no one size fits all approach.

I wish someone had told me all of this when I was newly postpartum, to know that it was okay to just exist in attunement with my baby and have more realistic expectations about what postpartum is really like.

So, we hope to be those voices and that space for you to rest into motherhood a little bit more gently 🤍.

With compassion and understanding,
Steph 🌸

Human babies are evolutionarily and biologically wired to be close to their mothers and caregivers.

So what’s changed?

We no longer live in a society with matriarchs at the centre. Childcare use to be a collective effort in which elders and village members joined together to care for infants AND their mothers.

With the rise of industrialization and similar eras, this further perpetuated the separation of mothers and infants. It brought about research, largely conducted by men, that told women “don’t cuddle your babies” or “don’t look them in the eye”.

Decades of societal and cultural shifts, and harmful research with sensationalized claims has brought us to a place in need of deep healing.

We are so passionate and inspired to bring power back to a place of peace within motherhood. One without pressure and schedules, without rules and performance.

If this resonates with you - we have some upcoming events that we would love for you to join us at 🤍

June 24, 2026 @ 10am - Pop-up Mom & Baby Circle at R&B Lavender Farms in Mt. Brydges, ON 🪻

July 8, 2026 10-11am - The start of our 12-week Mom & Baby Nurtured Postpartum Circle at “The Space” London, ON 🌸

and many free events to come as well!

If you’re interested, booking links are coming soon, but feel free to DM us or email us at thenurtureddyad@gmail.com

You are invited to Blooming Together, a postpartum nurture circle - a shame free space to come and feel safe, seen and held alongside other like-minded mothers.

During the 12 weeks, you will learn about the science and art of building lifelong health and wellness for yourselves and your babies. Neuroscience information informed by Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum’s novel “The Nurture Revolution”.

We will also demonstrate some supportive, realistic somatic-informed and nervous system friendly exercises you can use in your everyday life.

Topics include:
• infant brain development
• parent brain development
• growing your babies brain through relationship, communication and sleep

When we think immobilization - we might think fear, unsafe, shut down - and sometimes, yes.

Our bodies can also immobilize into rest and safety.

You may have heard this as “rest and digest” in relation to the state of our parasympathetic nervous system.

This is not to oversimplify and make this sound like it is an easy process for all, especially in the context of chronic uncertainty/lack of safety, and trauma.

It is a gentle and beautiful reminder that two things can co-exist in one system, and that immobilization can serve our bodies in a supportive way too.

How do you support your body to immobilize into safety? 🤍

With understanding, Steph 🌸
