This is amazing!! So important to realize what you are actually dealing with rather than an over exaggerated presentation.

Being a doula is such a privilege! Discussing, Informing, Assisting, Comforting, Loving, and Witnessing to one of the most significant events in a families life is incredible! Love you John and Bree! You were both so awesome!

It's the best to hear your client say..."Jamie! I love your voice, it's so soothing! And your hands are magic!" I'll take it! 😍😂

Infant massage dates back to ancient India, where it was integrated into Ayurvedic medicine for various health benefits including enhancing circulation, eliminating toxins, improving digestion, and boosting relaxation and overall well-being.

👶 Here are some of the benefits:

1️⃣ Baby massage facilitates weight gain, with premature babies gaining 47% more weight when receiving "touch therapy" compared to those who did not. (WOW! 😲)
2️⃣ Baby massage lowers the chance of jaundice by reducing bilirubin levels in the blood and promoting bowel movement to expel excess bilirubin.
3️⃣ Baby massage reduces stress by improving heart rate variability (HRV) in infants, promoting the maturation of their immature nervous systems.
4️⃣ Baby massage reduces colic, similar to the calming effect of vibrating chairs, helping soothe colicky babies.
5️⃣ Baby massage promotes sleep by lowering cortisol (stress hormone) levels and stimulating melatonin production (sleep hormone).
6️⃣ Baby massage strengthens bonds between parents and their little ones, enhancing the parent-child connection through eye contact and skin-to-skin contact, reducing parental stress, and improving the bond between dads and their babies.
7️⃣ Baby massage relieves gas or constipation by helping release pressure in a baby's digestive system.
8️⃣ Baby massage enhances learning by promoting alertness, allowing babies to absorb more information.

I recently attended a beautiful home birth! The drive there and back was gorgeous and just what I needed. A time to clear my mind and heart and make room for what lay ahead and then express gratitude for all that was accomplished on the way home. Mama was well into her work when I arrived. Dad and the boys were feeling excited to welcome their new baby! I quickly set up the birth pool and helped mama to relax with counterpressure and words of encouragement. Baby number four is just as much excitement and anticipation as any... and with a houseful, waiting to welcome the first girl, there was no shortage of interest from the brothers! I am humbled by the power of women as they transition new life earthside. Such incredible beauty and strength!
