🌎✨Happy World Breastfeeding Week!✨🌎

As we mark August 1–7, this year’s theme calls on all of us to build sustainable support systems that uplift every breastfeeding family.

At The Collaborative Doula Collective we’re proud to support the real, everyday journey of feeding:

🤱 Peer support doulas who offer compassionate guidance and encouragement through the ups and downs.
🎓 IBCLC consultations, so you get trusted clinical expertise when you want it most.
📚 Our WTF Lactation Class, where families prepare together before baby arrives—with practical tools and resources to bring home.

No one path looks the same—some find breastfeeding starts easily, others find it a learning curve. Whether you’re prenatal, early postpartum, or navigating challenges weeks in, our team is here on your side.
This week, we lift up families in all their forms—because real inclusion starts with actions, not buzzwords.

👉 DM us to learn more about our lactation support offerings or to register for our next WTF class.

Let’s invest in breastfeeding, and in our collective future. 💙

☀️Pregnancy in the Summer Be Like...Hot. Glowing. Swollen. Glorious. Exhausting. Magical. Sticky.

All at once.

Pregnancy in the summer is its own journey. The sweat is real, the swelling is next level, and don’t even get me started on trying to sleep when it’s 27°C at midnight.

Here are some summer pregnancy survival tips from your friendly doula:
💦Stay hydrated (yes, even if you’re already peeing every 5 minutes)
🧊 Freeze grapes or watermelon for a quick cooling snack
🌬️ Keep a handheld fan or spray bottle in your bag game changer!
👒 Loose, breathable clothes are your best friend
🧘‍♀️ Rest often and unapologetically — heat is work, rest is productive!
🏖️ Choose shade over sun when you can
🏊‍♀️ Get in the pool or go to the beach. Not only will you cool off in the water but the weightlessness can ease swelling and achy joints and it's a great body balancing exercise!
🩴 And yes — the only acceptable shoes might be the ones that still fit 😅

You are doing an incredible thing growing life and surviving summer💜

☕️✨ Doula life is rooted in community and this past Tuesday was a beautiful reminder of that.

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down for a cozy coffee meet up with Colleen McLean, MSW, RSW and Melissa Lindsay, MACP, CRPO of , based in Parry Sound and Huntsville.

We talked about the power of compassionate support, mental health in the perinatal period, and the importance of building strong local networks for families and youth in our communities. 💜

These two are doing such meaningful work, and I’m so grateful for the connection. Looking forward to more conversations and collaboration in the future!

We are so excited to bring back our postnatal fitness class. This one hour class will focus on core and pelvic floor health. Workouts will be interval style so there will be time to check on baby, and we will finish with a song circle so the babies leave in great spirits. Kathryn apologizes in advance for her singing skills, her assistant coach baby Sloane can’t wait!

Even after 9 months of moving, I'm still going through moving totes, reorganizing and finding little gems like this from one of my last clients from North Bay 🥹😍

I do have a designated place for all of these and all the cute baby pictures I am given/sent now and I love remembering all my families and just how much we've all grown together! 🌱

🌟 Happy Father’s Day 🌟

Today we celebrate the dads, partners, and father figures who show up with love, strength, and care, each in their own way.

To the ones who hold space during labour, learn how to swaddle, ask the hard questions, change diapers at 3am, and grow right alongside their babies, your presence matters deeply.

To the co-parents, non-bio dads, trans dads, stepdads, and chosen fathers, your love shapes families in beautiful, powerful ways.

Parenting is a team journey, and today we honour every father and fathering presence who supports, nurtures, and helps families thrive.

💛 You are seen. You are valued. You are loved
