I am posting this with so much love in my heart and peaceful reflection on everything that happened. I love going back to my birthing day. I love reliving it. I love remembering the moment when I found my power and when we welcomed Maeve earthside 🌀

Two years ago at this time, I was about to become a mama. My contractions were growing stronger and my waters were about to go. In the next few hours I would reach the liminal space and from then - the time would become a blur.

That evening I would die just to be reborn.
That evening I would birth my daughter and become a mother.

My sweet little Maeve Roma. Her name means "she who rules". She is an answered prayer. A powerhouse of a girl. A morning sunshine and the brightest star on the nighttime sky.

Today I am so grateful that I get to see her grow. That she chose me to be her mama. It is the most wonderful privilege.

The love I have for my daughter is a special kind - the one impossible to capture in words, both tangible and intangible, not just a feeling or emotion but the whole being. When I look at her, I do not just feel love - I embody love, I become love. And everything else fades away.

Happy 2nd birthday, Maevey 🤍

As my daughter is about to complete her second solar return, I - yet again - reflect on our birthing journey and here is what I am very grateful we did & what we would definitely do next time:

🌀 we invested in our antenatal education, learnt about the UK maternity system, physiological birth, hypnobirthing and more

🌀 we got to know our rights, learnt about informed consent and undue influence - and it proved very important in our journey

🌀 we hired a doula - straightaway, without giving it a second thought

🌀 I went on a journey of self-discovery, learning to listen to myself and follow my instincts

🌀 I did the work to start trusting my body and recognise its incredible strength, knowing that it was made to birth!

Our birth might have not been perfect (more about this in the days to come), but we achieved a lot and had a very positive experience after all. I look back and remember that one of the first things I said was "I want to do it again" - and in my work, that's what I would love to hear from all birthing mamas.

So whether you are on a journey to "do it again" or for the very first time, I would love to connect with you and see if we are a good doula match! Send me a DM ✨️ xx

One of my favourite elements of being a doula is sharing food.

Just because such a simple gesture, and yet it is a whole love language.

Food nourishes, supports body & soul, brings memories, makes mothers feel mothered. Especially if usually they are the ones preparing food for everyone else, often sustained by leftovers and a cold cup of tea.

Food is medicine. It sustains the pregnant body and heals the postpartum one.

It seems so little and yet it is so much.
The carefully chosen ingredients.
The time and the process.
The intention put into cooking.
The wisdom, often passed down the generations.

Food is one of the most thoughtful gifts.

So, if you are looking for a doula that won't let you go hungry & and who prioritises healing foods, utilising her experience as well as the wisdom of her ancestors, send a message or book a free consultation 🫒

Myth Mondays!

And today let's discuss your Placenta. Does it stop working when you pass the threshold of 42 weeks? Or maybe it's more complicated than that?

I am curious, when pregnant were you ever told that if you go past your due date, your Placenta will "fail"? 👀

I heard way too many new mums lately speaking up about how difficult is this time for them. What did they all have in common? A sheer need to be at their best for their babies, to tend to them, to care, to love, to "give it all". All whilst sleep deprived, exhausted and not properly nourished: with no time to eat or to rest. And all of them with feelings of failure.
Whereas it's been the system we live in all along.
This system does not need to be "fixed" because in its design it's not broken.
This system needs to collapse and be built again so that all mothers are nurtured and all mothers are mothered as they should.

Happy Summer Solstice!

May your light peaks with the energy of the Sun, transforming everything into joy. May your song rise to the new heights. And may you find your fern flower as the wheel turns yet again.

In old Slavic beliefs, a mythical fern flower blooms on the night of the Kupała (Solstice, Litha...) and the one who finds it will live in abundance, forever sustained. I would like to think that the flower is in fact a part of us and yearns to be discovered. And once it is, all falls into place. Another reminder that what we tend to seek what can be found within us. It can be reached by peeling the layers, diving into our own depths.

Last night, as I gave prayers of gratitude and cleansed what did not serve me, the sky above cleared and the whisper of the wind brought messages of joy, peace and being held.

My intention for this time is that this whisper has reached you too.

Lots of love

Weronika

We had a great morning trying out with Kath and a bunch of lovely local families! ✨️ Tiny Talk is a baby signing class that we've heard of before and were lucky enough to participate in a class about farm animals 🐮🐷🐴

Maeve loved her first class, especially since it involves singing nursery rhymes and using instruments. We didn't even notice an hour fly by among all the interactive play and learning BSL. I feel like I learned a lot myself 😅

We will definitely be signing up for a whole term
🙏🏻 and for those of you who would like to try the class, message Kath and join one of her sessions. Upon booking a term, you will get a whole book with 150 different signs that you can practice at home. Oh, and you will get a cuppa & biscuits during the class. ☕️
