What does a doula actually do? 🤰

A doula is your constant support person through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

While nurses rotate, we stay with you—
supporting you and your partner emotionally, physically, and mentally.

That can look like:
• Hands-on comfort during labor
• Helping you understand what your body is doing
• Creating a calm, grounded space
• Supporting feeding, recovery, and confidence after birth

We don’t replace partners—we support both of you.

✨ If you’re in Monterey and want this kind of support, I’d love to connect.

Cycle awareness = creative power 🦋

About 18 months ago, we received an email from the brilliant, award-winning film director, Chloé Zhao...

She shared how menstrual cycle awareness and our books, Wild Power and Wise Power were supporting her through her midlife quickening challenges.

We met up and had a gorgeous lunch talking about the power of menstrual cycle awareness - especially for creativity. And we were delighted when she told us that she listens to the Menstruality podcast!

We invited her to join us as a guest once her film Hamnet was out in the world.

Even in the middle of a busy run-up to the Oscars, where Hamnet was up for eight nominations (and for which Jessie Buckley won best actress!) she sat down to speak with us, both about how menstrual cycle awareness has helped her personally, and how it informed her creative process with Hamnet.

We're really looking forward to sharing the episode with you later this week.

🐛…  🦋

You may not realise it… but your first birth plan was probably written when you were about 7 years old.

Long before pregnancy.

Long before antenatal classes.

Long before you ever thought seriously about giving birth.

It started forming from the stories you absorbed.

From movies.
From TV shows.
From what adults said about birth.
From the way women talked about their bodies.
From the messages our culture carries about pain, strength, control and what a “good” birth looks like.

By the time many women become pregnant, there’s already a quiet script running in the background.

How birth is supposed to go.
What it might say about you if it doesn’t.
What it means to be strong.
What it means to cope.
What it means to “do it right.”

Then birth happens.

And sometimes that script is confirmed.

But sometimes it’s completely rewritten.

And when the story we carried for years collides with what actually happened…

That’s often where the questions begin.

Information = empowerment

Valentine’s doesn’t have to be tonight.
Plan something meaningful instead.

If crowded restaurants and rushed dinners aren’t your thing, consider giving yourselves something that lasts longer than one evening.

On February 21, join us for a Couples Partner Massage workshop at Salty Soul Sanctuary.

An evening to:
• Slow down your nervous systems
• Move in sync without distractions
• Reconnect through intentional touch
• Learn tools you can return to again and again

This isn’t just a date night.
It’s a foundation for returning to one another when touch is needed more than words.

Before words, before logic, there was touch.

It soothes the nervous system, builds trust, and reminds the body it’s safe to soften.

This is the foundation of my work—care that listens, hands that support, space to exhale.

I cannot tell you how much relief I have brought to my clients by relaxing the muscles and working the area where the pudendal nerve flows

Reclaiming my attention
reclaiming my pleasure
reclaiming my power

If there’s anything that birth has taught me,
WE ARE PORTALS
We get to choose what we carry, what we release and what we claim as our own.

Pregnancy, birth and motherhood can hold both highs and lows.
The invitation is to sit with it
To tend to your needs
And consciously choose what you are calling in
