Todays Monday! In case anyone needed the reminder 😉 Kids back to school, people back to work, and for me today it’s a chance to sit and reflect on all the things I want to accomplish and share in 2026. Without sharing too much though, will be adding some workshops and groups in the Milton and Burlington area and really diving into why I chose this work.
Wishing you all a happy Monday and all the best cozy vibes this week!

I’m not one for making New Year’s resolutions. I’m just grateful for the year 2025. I’ve met so many new people, built a community of doulas to help support one another and the community we live in. Supported many births, logged a heck of a lot of postpartum hours with families. It’s been a wonderful year for our family overall. Thank you to all that have supported this endeavour the whole year through. To my friends and family I love you all 🤍 May 2026 bring many blessings to each and every one of you .

This holiday season I am sending out a message for one of the most amazing places with some of the most beautiful people. I have been very fortunate to be working with Shifra homes for the last 3 years and we are looking for some help with this amazing project.
Please help if you can 🤍

7 years ago we had the opening ceremonies at Nada Yoga school in Rishikesh India
Was the most amazing 5 weeks of study and culture. Always dreaming to go back. Some of the best experiences have come from traveling.

I shall call these slippers my “Precipitous Labour” slippers.
What started as a mid normal Wednesday turned into a cascade of things going sideways.
This work is a delicate (not so delicate) balance of trying to keep your head above the water moments.
What was supposed to be a more calm, take care of home kind of night, quickly turned into a mad dash cause babies are on their own timeline kind of night.

Let me spell out what a precipitous labour is for the folks who aren’t aware…

When labor is “super,” it’s called precipitous labor, which is a fast labor that results in the birth of a baby within three hours of the first regular contractions. This type of labor can be intense and may leave a person with little time to prepare or get to the hospital, potentially leading to a roadside delivery.

Total labour from start of contractions till baby born= 45 MINUTES…..was fast, it was furious, but it was also calm and peaceful.
We can not plan for everything that comes our way when it comes to babies and births sometimes we got to ride the waves and hope it all works out 🤍

How do we do it all?
How do we work all night and try to get adequate sleep the next day?
How do we work all day and try to keep a house clean?
How do we make time for our family and friends?
How do we teach kids to self regulate when we haven’t learned it ourselves?
All the things, so little time….
I’ll tell you one thing about life….. you’re gonna miss this.
Even if you don’t have children, there are gonna be “THINGS” your gonna miss because we’re too damn busy keeping it held together.
Do yourself a favor, and give yourself some grace today.
Your likely doing your best at whatver is in front of you and for that I AM PROUD OF YOU!!

Is it just me or are we seeing a rise in usage of postpartum support?

Let’s break it down.
Hiring a postpartum doula is not just a trend, it’s a way of life for so many now.
We talk about building the village for new parents, we talk about wrap around support. What does that look like these days?
When I first started this work it was a fairly new concept coming from my small town. Bigger cities had doulas, and lots of them.
The reasoning for this spike in doulas ….. it’s a valued resource that can help frame the postpartum recovery.
We have a growing awareness of maternal mental health issues and the seriousness of postpartum depression- leading to demand of more specific care.
We have been more focused on holistic approaches to living. Meaning we are suing many tools and resources to care for our families.
Either way you look at it- we know it’s a need and working together to create the best possible solution for a crucial time in life.

Excited to put this together and set up a new offering for our clients in the Hamilton and GTA.
One of my dear past clients, turned friends asked if I would ever be interested in attending a wedding to assist with a baby.
I have done this before from time to time, with not only babies but older grandparents as well. So I decided to make it an offering limited to available space of course.
Want to attend a special occasion like a wedding, birthday party, gathering of any kind and want to have it as stress free as possible traveling with a baby? Why not bring a Doula along?
Today’s work has me in Toronto helping out the sweetest little family.
Message for details and bookings, let us help you keep making memories with family and friends 🤍
