Today, on Mother’s Day, we honour every way that motherhood is woven into our lives. At Papaya Wellness Doula, we know that mothers come in many forms-not just the ones who gave birth to us, but also the grandmothers, aunties, sisters, friends, and the collective of nurturing women who have held, guided, and loved us through life’s transitions.
For some, a grandmother or an auntie becomes the heart of home. For others, it’s the circle of women-friends, mentors, community-who become the vessels for love, growth, and support. Motherhood is not always about biology; it’s about presence, care, and the willingness to hold space for another’s journey. As doulas, we witness daily how the collective strength and wisdom of women uplifts and sustains families.
“Mothering is not just a role, but a community of hearts-sometimes the women who nurture us are not those who gave us life, but those who make life richer with their love.” By Sulin Corella
To all the mothers, grandmothers, aunties, and the beautiful web of women who nurture, support, and empower-thank you for being the safe harbour and the gentle guide. Your love shapes the world, one heart at a time.
Happy Mother’s Day from Papaya Wellness Doula. 🌷
