At a recent visit to Saint Clare’s in Denville, this was waiting in my client’s room at check in 💕 I haven’t seen this in any of our other area hospitals and it’s such a nice touch for a mom in labor. Sometimes the little things matter.

What a better way to start the New Year than welcoming a new baby into the world!

My own struggles during postpartum prompted me to become a doula so I could be the village for other women. 💕

The sweetest new family enjoying the golden moments after birth. Mama & baby needed a surgical birth but they were still able to experience all the beautiful little firsts like skin to skin and breastfeeding right away. Birth can be unpredictable and this amazing mom took it all with so much grace.

This is where we are headed and it’s scary. While I absolutely understand the benefits of medical intervention when needed, we have the statistics telling us that birth has become medicalized for many, many women who don’t need it. We know what medicalized birth is doing to individuals all over the country, from poor maternal and fetal outcomes to birth traumas and more. But, have you stopped to think on a larger scale? What would happen if we become a society dependent on private & government institutions to birth all future generations?

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy…..have you heard of it? An experienced practitioner can help work through so many common issues we see in newborns & infants; such as reflux, torticollis, sleep issues and more.

If you’re lucky enough to be in New Jersey, Maria Parlapiano Postpartum Place in Chatham is an amazing IBCLC, CFT practitioner and more. She’s been my mentor for many years and is so gifted in her care of babies (and their parents!).
