✨ 3 ways to reduce tearing during birth ✨
Tearing during birth can feel like one of those “just hope for the best” things—but there are simple, evidence-based steps that can help protect your perineum and support healing afterwards. 💪

Here are 3 things you can try:
1️⃣ Breathe your baby down – Instead of holding your breath and pushing hard, use slow, controlled breaths to guide your baby out gently.
2️⃣ Perineal massage – A few minutes a day in the weeks leading up to birth can help your tissues stretch and adapt.
3️⃣ Warm compress – During pushing, a warm cloth applied to the perineum can increase blood flow and reduce trauma.

Every birth is different, so results can vary—but being informed means you can make choices that support your body. 🫶

Did you try any of these during your birth? Or is there one you’re curious to try? Share in the comments!

✨ Certified & ready to support you in the fourth trimester! ✨

I’m officially a certified postpartum doula—which means I’m trained to walk alongside new parents during one of the most transformative (and tender) seasons of life.

From emotional support and recovery tips to practical newborn care and gentle guidance, my role is to help you feel nurtured, informed, and never alone.

The postpartum period isn’t just about “getting through it.” It’s about making space for rest, bonding, and the slow unfolding of your new chapter as a family. 💛

Here’s to honouring the fourth trimester—and every parent’s journey.

😢 Tearful for no reason? Feeling overwhelmed or easily irritated after birth?
You might be experiencing baby blues—and you're not alone.

Up to 80% of new mums go through this emotional rollercoaster in the first 1–2 weeks after birth. It's caused by a sudden drop in hormones, sleep deprivation, and the huge mental shift into motherhood.

Some common signs:
💧 Random crying spells
😬 Mood swings
😣 Anxiety or irritability
😴 Trouble sleeping—even when baby sleeps

It doesn’t mean you’re a bad mum. It doesn’t mean you’re not coping. It means your body and brain are adjusting.

The blues usually ease up on their own. But if it lingers beyond 2 weeks or gets more intense, it could be something more—like postpartum depression—and help is available. 💛

Let’s talk about it. Let’s normalise it. Let’s support each other through it.

✨ August Workshops Are Here! ✨
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum don’t come with a manual—but they can come with a solid plan, realistic prep, and unwavering support.

This August, I’m bringing back my two most requested workshops:

👶 Birth Ready Workshop
Empowering you with knowledge, tools, and mindset strategies so you can walk into birth feeling calm, confident, and informed.

🍼 Fourth Trimester Workshop
Let’s talk real postpartum recovery, newborn care, and feeding without sugarcoating or overwhelm.

Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or looking for a more grounded experience this time around, these sessions are designed to meet you where you are.

📍In-person in Singapore
🎟️ Limited spots available
📅 DM me or check the link in bio to reserve your seat!

Let’s make August the month you feel ready—not just for birth, but for what comes after too. 💛

✨ July 2025 Workshop Highlights ✨
What an incredibly heartwarming weekend it's been 💛

From empowering conversations about birth and postpartum…
to shared laughs, gentle reminders, and lots of “aha!” moments—
these sessions reminded me once again why I do what I do.

To every parent, partner, and participant who showed up with curiosity, openness, and heart: thank you.
You brought the space to life 🌿

Here’s to more conscious, confident, connected journeys into parenthood 🤍

💧*“My waters just broke—do I need to rush to the hospital?”*
Not always.

Here are 4 key questions to help you decide your next steps:

1️⃣ Was it a trickle or a gush?
2️⃣ Are the waters clear (not green, brown, or foul-smelling)?
3️⃣ Have you tested positive for Group B Strep (GBS)?
4️⃣ How much time has passed since your waters released?

Each situation is unique—so it's important to stay calm, observe, and connect with your care provider to make an informed decision based on your personal circumstances.

⚠️ If you're unsure or notice anything unusual—like discoloured waters or reduced baby movement—reach out to your provider immediately.

✨ Knowing what to look out for can help you stay confident and centred, even when things take an unexpected turn.

✨ I’m officially a Certified GentleBirth Instructor—and the first in Singapore to be certified! 🇸🇬

This means I can now support expecting parents with a unique, science-based approach to birth preparation that blends mindfulness, brain science, and practical tools.

GentleBirth isn’t about striving for a “perfect” birth—it’s about feeling prepared, supported, and confident in your own choices, whatever path your birth takes.

I’m so grateful to be able to bring this option to families here in Singapore. If you’re curious about what GentleBirth is or how it can help you, my DMs are always open 💛

Birth isn’t a solo act — it’s a team effort. 💞

To all the incredible partners out there:
You don’t have to fix or do everything. Just being there — truly present, calm, and grounded — makes all the difference.

Your steady hand, gentle voice, and quiet encouragement matter more than you know.
✨ “I am a calm, steady presence. My love and support make a difference.”

❌ MYTH: You're pregnant, so it’s time to eat for two.
✅ FACT: You only need a little more food—not double!

Pregnancy isn’t about eating twice as much—it’s about eating wisely for you and your baby.
Nutrient-dense foods, not oversized portions, are what really count in supporting your baby’s development and your own well-being. ✨

🧡 Focus on balance, hydration, and listening to your body—not the outdated advice.
