Golden Hour Magic 🌟
Did you know that prioritizing skin to skin with your newborn in the first hour post partum is vital for both of you?
It doesn't JUST feel right, snuggling your baby is backed by heaps of scientific data.

For baby and mama:
🌡️ Regulates body temperature - mama's chest is nature's incubator
🫀 Stabilizes heart rate and breathing - helps babe adjust to life on the outside
🤱🏽 Increases breastfeeding success - stimulates milk production and triggers natural feeding instincts
😴 Improves sleep and reduces stress and crying - calmer baby makes everyone calmer
💪🏼Strengthens immune system - transfers beneficial bacteria for optimal microbiome development
💓 Triggers oxytocin - the love hormone, which helps control uterine bleeding, preventing excessive blood loss and improving blood pressure regulation, not to mention - nature's pain reliever
♥️ Supports vital attachment and bonding between mama and baby and encourages confidence and caring

🌟 My favourite post partum plan (whether you are planning to breastfeed or not) is immediate skin to skin with the birthing parent for a minimum of one Golden Hour. Followed by a quick head to toe check for weighing and measuring baby. Then the non-birthing parent gets to have their skin to skin time, while the one who did all the hard work gets to eat, drink, p*e and generally just come to terms with the enormity of what just happened. And baby just gets to blissfully snuggle in. Go ahead, tell me what could be better. I'll wait 😉 💖

Did you know that Naturopathic Doulas can be the difference between a terrifying, lonely and traumatic surgery to a supported, empowered and joyful one?

Spoiler alert - birth doesn’t always go as planned. In fact, it rarely does.

In this country, 1 in 3 hospital births results in a Caesarean section. (This number is actually lower with doula support)
At the same time, Caesarean sections are simultaneously a life saving surgery and a vastly overused one.

As medical professionals, Naturopathic Doulas are uniquely equipped to help explain what exactly is going on, help you weigh out options as to why surgery is being suggested, and describe in detail what to expect during surgery. We also....

💚 Provide natural, hands on techniques to help calm your mind and body
💚 Support you in advocating for your preferences in the operating room

💚 Encourage and facilitate skin to skin immediately post partum, even while still on the operating table

💚 Assist with recovery postpartum, supporting both physical and emotional healing

I will never take for granted the absolute privilege it is to witness life begin and be one of the first people who get to lock eyes with a brand new soul.

Being able to hold a fresh and precious life in my arms until a parent is able to commence skin to skin is one of the great honours of my life. I do not take the responsibility lightly
No matter how your birth unfolds, I’m here to guide you with compassion and care 🌸💫
