This would be an amazing class is you’re interested in learning about Hypnobirthing for your birth. Happening in Saskatoon on March 22nd.

✨ Elevated Birthing Retreat✨

Hypnosis-Based Birth Preparation for the Modern Mother

Birth is one of the most powerful experiences in a woman’s life — yet many mothers approach it feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to expect.

The Elevated Birthing Retreat was created to change that.

This unique childbirth preparation experience helps mothers approach birth feeling calm, confident, and deeply supported — however their birth unfolds.

Whether you are planning an unmedicated birth, choosing an epidural, preparing for a cesarean, birthing at home, or delivering in a hospital, this program meets you exactly where you are — without judgment, pressure, or rigid rules.

Through hypnosis-based tools and nervous system regulation techniques, you’ll learn how to work with your body rather than against it during labour and birth.

During this immersive retreat you’ll learn:

• Self-hypnosis and deep relaxation techniques
• Guided visualization to build trust in your body and your baby
• Breathing tools to stay grounded during labour
• Nervous system regulation for birth and early motherhood
• Somatic awareness to support the mind-body connection
• How to release fear and build confidence around birth
• Practical strategies for labour support and partner involvement

This is not a one-size-fits-all method.

Elevated Birthing is a flexible and intuitive approach that honours the reality that every birth journey is unique.

✨ The Retreat Experience

This one-day immersive retreat blends education with experiential hypnosis practices in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Partners and birth support people (including doulas) are warmly welcome to attend.

You’ll leave with practical tools you can use throughout pregnancy, labour, and early motherhood — along with a deeper sense of trust in your body and your ability to birth.

This is cool, an updated study on how Doula’s help improve outcomes in birth!

A 2025 study published in AJOG adds powerful, up-to-date data showing associations between doula care and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Key Maternal Outcomes:

More vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC): For every 100 patients who received doula care, there were 15 to 34 additional VBACs compared with those without doula care.

Higher postpartum follow-up attendance: 5 to 6 more per 100 received postpartum office visits.

Key Neonatal / Infant Outcomes

Increased exclusive breastfeeding rates: Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Fewer preterm births (and early preterm births): Doula-supported births showed a reduction in preterm birth rates.

In short, the study links doula care with improvements in birth outcomes — across birth mode (more VBACs), infant health (less prematurity), and early infant care (breastfeeding, postpartum follow-up).

This is a very cool thing!!

Naida is asking for help from expectant mothers in Saskatoon with an important study. More Milk Sooner is constantly asked if there is a difference in the makeup of prenatal and postnatal colostrum. The short answer is we do not know. So we partnered with the University of Saskatchewan to design a first of its kind study to look at this question. Moms receive a kit while they are expecting and if possible give a small sample of their prenatal colostrum and then a small sample of their post natal colostrum once baby arrives. Everything is designed to be super simple for participants and done through online communication and we even come to your home to pick up the prenatal sample. We have the most amazing coordinator Karlee who makes the whole process seamless. If you are expecting or know someone who is please consider participating. We need approx 40 more families. If you would like a study kit please text Karlee at 306 461 6732 or email karlee.schoff@usask.ca This study is helping to contribute to Saskatchewan being a leader in the study of colostrum and is so so valuable. Thank you.

🌸 Re-introducing Myself 🌸

Hey everyone! It’s been a while, so I wanted to take a moment to re-introduce myself and share a bit about who I am. 😊

I’ve lived in Melfort for 19 wonderful years, where I’m lucky to be married to my amazing husband and raising our three kids—the oldest is 20, followed by a 15-year-old and 12-year-old. Our family is completed by two very spoiled cats 🐱 and a senior Basset Hound who keeps us all laughing. 🐾

I’ve been working as a doula for 12 years, guiding and supporting families during one of the most important moments of their lives. I became a Certified Childbirth Educator in 2017, and I absolutely love what I do.

Over the years, I’ve attended births in the Melfort, Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Tisdale hospitals. I’ve been serving families from all over the Northeast, supporting them with knowledge, care, and empathy.

I’m also excited to share that I recently attended my 49th birth as a doula—what a privilege it is to witness the strength, beauty, and power of birth!

Thank you to all the amazing families who have trusted me to be a part of their journey. I can’t wait to continue supporting new families and sharing more with you all in the future!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to chat about anything related to pregnancy, birth, or postpartum care. 💕
