Tokyo Prenatal Center

Tokyo Prenatal Center Tokyo’s only prenatal pilates studio and prenatal wellness center. Pelvic & cesarean rehab specialist

Welcome and I'm so glad you're here and you're ready to up-level your embodiment. The antenatal period is full of transformational power to those who know how to tap into it, and I do. I'm here to upgrade women's body awareness during the prenatal and postpartum window. I specialize in labor prep, in person birth support and healing and growth during the postpartum period. I'm an expert in helping

babies into the optimal position, teaching mothers how to push in labor and birth, and pelvic and abdominal healing post birth. More deeply, I support women in the monumental transformation into motherhood. I've worked as a Pilates instructor and massage therapist for nearly a decade, and bring my expertise as a doula to unite birth and postpartum care with healthy movement.

The researchers who built attachment theory have been misunderstood, and it’s shaming mothers. Here’s who actually did the work and what they found.

Third baby, small apartment, no nursery, no problem. As a postpartum doula and a mom who has raised three kids in a studio and a one-bedroom, I know firsthand what actually gets used and what collects dust in the corner.

This is your newborn list when space is limited and you don’t want to spend money on things you don’t need.

Transportation, daily needs, feeding, sleep – I cover all of it.

Maybe the postpartum doulas are going to come @ me for this, but I think the 6 weeks of confinement is outdated and unrealistic for most women.

I even think the messaging is actually a bit harmful because if you can’t take 6 weeks of rest, you feel like you’re failing somehow (and none of us moms need MORE of that feeling).

So what if the goal wasn’t one-size-fits all? Movement that genuinely feels good after 9 months of pregnancy? An outing that resets your mental health?

The strict confinement period shouldn’t be used a blanket modal of care. We need to honor and respect that every woman and family is different and work to give them the customized support they need 🫶

Mamas, how were your first 6 weeks? Did you do movement that felt good for you or mostly rested👇🏼

Postpartum doulas, speak up! Is our messaging of strict confinement really of service to women?

I remember feeling so frustrated with how often my first baby needed to nurse (which was a totally normal amount but I had no idea what to expect).

Feeding baby number three now and just so enjoying the snuggles and relaxing time with him while life goes on outside and around us.

And a huge part of why I can relax while feeding this much is because I have a LOT of support around me. I’m not doing it all alone (though I’ve been through years of that too).

I hope this video helps normalize what the early days look like. Feeding, feeding and more feeding 💕

My midwife said don’t leave the house for a month. I made it one week before I walked half a block to the park.

Here’s the thing: Yes, your body needs rest. Yes, you shouldn’t push yourself physically too soon.

But if your mental health is suffering from being inside, it’s okay to go outside.

Rest doesn’t mean imprisonment. It means listening to your body - physical AND mental.

My recommendation is: give your schedule 6 weeks of restorative time - no obligations. And then IF you feel up for adding some small activities in you can and should!

How long did you wait before leaving the house postpartum? 👇

I had a difficult pregnancy and a straight forward birth, and every birth and healing journey is different. But as far as the DAILY movements that kept me feeling so defeated in pregnancy, I find 1 week postpartum easier than my final weeks of pregnancy.

Pregnant mamas, what week are you at and how are you doing? I’m rooting for you from the other side.

Postpartum Diaries: Day 5 - Anxiety

Postpartum anxiety and I are old acquaintances. Had it with baby 1. Had postpartum rage with baby 2 (yes it’s real, look it up).

Day 5 and feeling anxiety starting. Hard time sleeping. Anxious thoughts. Intrusive thoughts. Nightmares (common with hormone drop in days 3-5).

Intrusive thoughts: Theory is they’re a well-designed system - scanning environment for threats to baby. Personal experience: dads don’t have this vigilance moms do.

Lots of moms feel worried letting newborn be with dad. Not about sharing load. It’s anxiety and intrusive thoughts they’re having that partners aren’t. Hard to be told “let your husband help more” when you’re stuck between rock and hard place.

What I’m doing: Still in 3-5 day hormonal crash window. Not assuming I’ll have anxiety whole postpartum, but I’m at risk (had it before, have anxiety my whole life).

Body-based work: Gentle Qigong to flow energy, stay in body.

Somatic meditations: Not “clear your mind” - contractions in body, relaxing, breathwork. Specific guided meditations through different body parts.

Differentiating between anxiety feeling and where my body actually is in space/time. Using Insight Timer. Anytime I wake with anxiety, turn on meditation.

Triggered by being alone: Keeping myself around family and loved ones. Not inviting everyone over, but rotation of people checking in.

Touch work: Partner or booking massage soon. Need human touch, not massage gun.

If it gets extreme, see a practitioner. This is advice from someone who’s been through it, not clinical advice.

Day 5. Anxiety showed up. I know what to do.

I’m sleepy and hungry but at least when I sleep, I feel like I’m actually resting and when I eat it feels like it gives me some energy, not just reflux and swelling.

If you’re in the final stretches of an uncomfortable pregnancy know that it will be done soon and you’ll be able to put on your own socks again in a few weeks time.
