This one fires me up every time, because I hear it from nearly every birth client — no matter their size, health, or history. Doctors love to drop the “your baby looks big” line based on an ultrasound that’s statistically wrong half the time or more.

Here’s the truth❤️‍🔥
Ultrasounds can’t accurately predict a baby’s weight. “Big baby” isn’t a medical diagnosis — it’s a fear-based phrase used to justify inductions and C-sections that might not actually be necessary.

Your body was designed to birth your baby — whether they’re 6 pounds or 10.

Unless there’s an actual anatomical reason, your pelvis and your baby work together in labor. Movement, instinct, and trust in your physiology are far more powerful than any measurement on a screen.
So next time you hear “big baby”… remember: evidence says otherwise.

Growing our own food is how we step out of systems that were never built for us.

By reclaiming our food, our rhythms, and our connection to the land, by remembering that we are capable of feeding ourselves, body and soul, we are participating in a radical act.

A quiet revolution.

I planted these beans this year by literally just scattering them around my urban garden.

No plan, no tending, no expectation.

They grew tall and wild, wrapped around my fire pit, and offered more than I imagined.

I didn’t grow them for food — but now I have next year’s seeds.

And that feels like enough.

Before your coffee, try warmth. 🕯️
A cup of warm bone broth in the morning isn’t just a trend — it’s womb medicine.

Warmth nourishes blood flow, supports digestion, and helps your womb stay supple, oxygenated, and alive. Cold food and drinks can constrict and stagnate — warmth invites flow, fertility, and healing.
In traditional postpartum care, new mothers are fed broth for weeks to rebuild minerals, blood, and chi (in TCM).

But you don’t have to wait until after birth — your womb deserves that nourishment every day.

This is how we remember that our bodies are cyclical, sacred, and deserving of slow, warm care.

So pour yourself a mug of mineral-rich broth.

Sip. Breathe. Feel your womb soften.

Don't be ridiculous! You totally want your man to sit with you labouring on the toilet. This is where the magic happens!

Whether you're at home or hospital, the 🚽 is your friend!

Did you know the toilet can be one of the best labor positions for natural birth? Squatting or leaning forward on the toilet helps open your pelvis, encourages baby’s descent, and can make pushing easier and safer. This position also allows you to release tension and stay grounded during labor.

Your partner can support you by sitting in front of you, holding your hands, supporting your back, and being your anchor. This simple, practical setup strengthens connection, promotes calm, and helps you feel confident and prepared during birth.

Laboring on the toilet isn’t just practical—it’s a powerful way to work with your body’s design for natural birth.

If you want to learn more about natural birth preparation, prenatal and postpartum education, holistic birth support, and how to integrate your partner into the process, DM me to book me as your Birth Keeper or prepare for natural birth by joining the Aligned & Thriving retreat.

✨ Serving families across Peterborough, the Kawarthas, and beyond

As a Birth Keeper and Clinical Herbalist, I walk with families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — helping you prepare your body, mind, and heart for a birth that feels truly your own.

I support all birth spaces — home, hospital, wild, or somewhere in between — because what matters most isn’t where you give birth… it’s your commitment to yourself, your intuition, and your vision.

Whether you’re preparing for a natural birth, a free birth, or simply seeking deeper connection and calm — you deserve support that honours your strength and your story.

💌 DM me to learn more about my birthkeeping packages and upcoming retreats for couples preparing to birth differently.

Feeling like your birth could be different? Here’s how to know you’re ready…
For those who don’t know me, I’m Nessa, a birth keeper and clinical herbalist. I guide women and couples to prepare for birth and postpartum in a way that brings calm, confidence, and deep connection — wherever you give birth.

Signs you’re ready to birth differently:

🏥 You don’t want a hospital class — you want real preparation that actually teaches you how to navigate birth.

🧘‍♀️ You want to understand your body and nervous system so you can stay grounded.

🤝 You want your partner fully engaged, not just present, so they can create safety and support.

💡 You’re done with generic advice and want guidance that aligns with your intuition and values.

💪 You’re ready to do the work — practice comfort measures, train your body and mind, and embody your birth plan.

If this resonates, it means you’re stepping into confident, clear, and connected preparation for your birth.
DM me to learn more about my retreats and my one-on-one birth keeping packages.

🌿 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

I’m a single mom — equal parts chaos and magic.

I have two dogs and two cats, and yes, the fur situation is real.

I grow my own food and medicines — there’s nothing like seeing your apothecary come alive each season.

I love to cook, but I’m not a great baker (I measure with vibes, not cups).

I love coffee, but more than two cups and my anxiety joins the chat. ☕

I used to be super extroverted — now I crave quiet more than crowds.

I’m a recovering people-pleaser learning that peace is better than approval.

I used to be terrified to use my voice… now you can’t shut me up.

I’ve been a surrogate — carrying life for someone else changed me forever.

I’ve had both a traumatic hospital birth and a freeing home birth — and they’re why I do what I do today.

✨ Your turn — tell me something most people don’t know about you.

It’s October — time to introduce myself again 🖤
If you like calling out the system and reclaiming your power in birth, then follow along — I’ll help you prepare for a natural, informed, and empowering birth experience.

You don’t need another prenatal class.

You need an experience.

A space to breathe together.

To remember that this isn’t just about getting through labour it’s about meeting yourselves as parents for the first time.

The Aligned & Thriving Retreat was created for couples who want to get on the same page, not just about birth plans, but about presence, partnership, and what it means to walk this threshold together.

This is where we practice trust in your body, in each other, in the unfolding. It’s where knowledge meets devotion,
where you start building the foundation for a birth that feels sacred and real.

Because birth isn’t something you manage —
it’s something you meet.

And when you meet it together, everything changes.

Two days.
One shared intention: to begin this journey in alignment.

Sunday's Nov 30th + Dec 14th

✨ Natural Birth vs The Hospital — new newsletter just dropped
⠀⠀
Recently, I’ve attended several births in the hospital… and I’ve been deeply reminded why even the most prepared, badass, informed women still need a Doula by their side.
⠀⠀
🤰You can love your OB.
🤰You can plan a C-section.
🤰You can say yes to every intervention.
⠀⠀
And STILL walk out of there going,
“What the hell just happened to me?”
⠀⠀
I just wrote a raw and honest piece about what really happens during the pushing stage in the hospital, and how quickly the energy shifts — even with the “good ones.”
⠀⠀
It’s about advocacy, protection, and what your people actually need to know before walking in that room.
⠀⠀
If you’re birthing in 2025/2026 — or holding space for someone who is — you’ll want to read this.

Don't forget to grab a bucket and harvest the herbs you worked so hard to grow. Sometimes we can get gardener's fatigue, especially in this heat wave, but we must keep in mind the end goal to get medicine in the cupboard.

You've got this! 💪
