March is almost upon us - be sure to save the meeting dates of our upcoming Postpartum Support Circles for the new month! 🗓

Set your reminders and join us on alternating Thursdays in the month of March (the 3rd, 17th, & 31st) at Azikho in Salt Rock from 9AM-11AM.

Our Support Circle is a free chance to connect with a motherhood community and to find support through non-judgmental listening (with some good laughs thrown in)… If you’re a new mom (or are getting ready to become one), it’s also a great place to forge new friendships & connections, and to find out about what support is available to you on your postpartum journey.

I hope to see you there! 👋

All my love always,

Joanne

For many new mums, the end of year holidays were anything but relaxing… 😰 The start of a new year can really be hampered by the lingering effects of postnatal burnout due to the demands of pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, chronic sleep deprivation, multiple or closely spaced pregnancies and the daily demand of motherhood.

Common symptoms of postnatal burnout include:

✔️Exhaustion
✔️Depression
✔️Anxiety
✔️Brain fog
✔️Hormonal Imbalances
✔️Multiple Nutritional Deficiencies

If you’re starting the year feeling depleted and overwhelmed, there’s never been a better time to get postpartum support: as a Postpartum Doula, I offer postpartum planning & at-home support tailored to the unique needs and situation of each of my clients. Don’t hesitate to get in touch - I’m always open to chat & to figure out how I can best support you on your postpartum journey (and help you get your battery fully charged for 2022!) 💛🔋

As we reach the end of the year, you might be feeling like you’re just barely able to keep your head above water while juggling life over the manic Festive Season… Particularly if you’re entering Postpartum (or are preparing to), the reality of burnout and depletion can hit especially hard at this time of year.

What’s needed right now is nourishment in a holistic sense. While taking care of your nutritional needs is a big part of this, also never forget that a nourished postpartum includes JOY. ⁠
⁠
As my doula friends at explain: “Caregiving can be HARD, night wake ups can feel like torture, and healing from birth can be a long road. These are all reasonable reactions to a challenging season of life. But we do have to, and WANT to, enjoy some moments! And sometimes we do have to fight for them, scavenge for them and uplift them for all to see. ⁠
⁠
Joy is generative, joy is life giving, life saving! Joy is the oxytocin flow that binds us with love (and biologically facilitates the milk ejection reflex!) and helps us keep on keeping on. We need to tap into joy whenever it is available to us and/or we are available to it.“
⁠
So as we get ready to wrap up this year and launch into 2022, here’s a though for you to ponder:⁠ What joy is available to you in the stage of parenting you are currently in? ⁠

As always, if you’re a new mama (or you’re getting ready to become one) and you’re feeling overwhelmed, depleted and in need of support (physical, mental or emotional) - don’t hesitate to reach out and get in touch with me… Let’s figure out how I can best support you and help you tap into joy on your postpartum journey. 💛
