From Jess with love and care:

Somewhere along the way, we began to believe that being stretched to our limits was a sign of strength — that the more worn out we are, the more we’ve achieved.

In our culture, rest is often seen as a luxury instead of a necessity. We celebrate the parents who “push through” on little to no sleep, as though exhaustion is the ultimate badge of love and commitment.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to be depleted to be devoted.

Your worth as a parent isn’t measured by how much you can sacrifice, but by the love, care, and presence you bring — and those things are easier to give when you’re rested, supported, and nourished.

Here’s your reminder: you’re keeping a tiny human alive, and that’s basically a superpower.Teeth brushing is optional. 😉💛

The early days with your newborn are sacred—and exhausting.

This is your gentle reminder that support is available, and rest is possible. 💛

👶✨ Expecting a little one this fall or winter?

🦃🍂🪾❄️☃️

The early weeks with a newborn are beautiful — and incredibly demanding. Around-the-clock feedings, unpredictable sleep, and constant worry can leave even the most prepared parents running on empty.

🌙 That’s where I come in.

As a Registered Nurse and Newborn Care Specialist, I provide overnight support so parents can rest, recover, and reconnect — knowing their baby is in experienced, nurturing hands.

💛 I’m currently welcoming my first Five Founding Families and offering 25% off all care packages as part of my business launch. This is a limited opportunity to secure personalized overnight newborn care at a reduced rate.

📅 Booking before baby arrives ensures you’re not scrambling for help when exhaustion hits — you’ll already have someone by your side.

📍Based in Burlington, supporting families across the Halton region.

🌙✨ Hello and Welcome! ✨🌙

I’m Jess M., BScN RN and the heart behind Millie and Marin — a boutique newborn care service built with heart, experience, and a whole lot of love for those early days of parenthood.

As a Registered Nurse, mother of two, and soon-to-be lactation consultant, I’m stepping into this new chapter with a deep passion for supporting families during one of life’s most beautiful (and exhausting!) seasons. While Millie and Marin is new, the heart behind it is not — I’ve fed my own babies in the quiet hours, soothed sleepless nights, and I know just how transformative gentle, knowledgeable care can be.

📣 I’m currently looking for five Founding Families to help me shape this dream into something truly special. In return, you’ll receive priority booking, a complimentary first night of care (8h), and a few extra perks to say thank you for being part of the beginning.

📅 Our official website launches September 1, and I’ll begin accepting overnight newborn care bookings for October 1 and onward.

Follow along for updates, tips, and gentle encouragement as Millie and Marin comes to life. I’m so glad you’re here. 💛

With warmth,

After much reflection, I’ve decided to close the doors on my RN psychotherapy practice. This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the right one for me and where life is taking me next.

I want to thank every single person who supported me, referred to me, or trusted me with their care. Being part of your journey was a privilege, and I will always hold that chapter close.

Stay tuned for what’s next — I have something beautiful to share soon. 🌿

🌸 Menopause is a natural phase in every woman's life, marking the end of menstruation and fertility. However, many women find themselves unprepared for the changes that come with perimenopause, the transitional period leading up to menopause.

During perimenopause, which can start in a woman's 30s or 40s, hormonal fluctuations can lead to a variety of side effects, including:

- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Irregular periods
- Mood swings and irritability
- Sleep disturbances and insomnia
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort during in*******se
- Decreased libido
- Fatigue and low energy
- Memory issues and difficulty concentrating
- Weight gain and changes in metabolism
- Joint and muscle pain

Understanding these symptoms is crucial for managing this transition. It's time to break the stigma surrounding menopause and open up the conversation. Remember, you're not alone in this journey, and seeking support can make a significant difference! 💪

If you’re willing to, please share what you’ve been experiencing and perhaps what has helped. 💞

World Su***de Prevention Day: Together, We Can Make a Difference

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we come together to raise awareness about a critical issue that affects millions of individuals and families across Canada and around the globe. Su***de is a complex and tragic phenomenon that can often be prevented through understanding, support, and timely intervention.

It's essential to recognize the signs of someone in distress and to foster a culture where open conversations about mental health are encouraged. If you or someone you know is struggling, remember that help is available. You are not alone, and there are people who care and want to help.

If you or someone you know is thinking about su***de, call or text 9-8-8. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you need someone to talk to or are seeking resources for a loved one, the trained counselors are there to listen and assist.

Let’s use this day to spread awareness, reduce stigma, and reinforce the message that seeking help is a sign of strength. Together, we can create a supportive community that prioritizes mental health and ensures that everyone knows they are valued and loved.

Please share this message and help us make a difference in the lives of those who may be struggling. Remember, every life is precious, and every conversation can be a step toward healing.
