Midwife turned Yoga teachin-Infant Massage Instructing-HypnoBirthing-Massage Therapist-Doula Mum of 3!

Today the sky was spacious and my heart was filled

Today the sky was spacious and my heart was filled with the colours, smells and sunshine of autumn.

My heart was also heavy, torn and in turmoil.

I always try to keep politics out of my professional life as I value, honour and respect the diverse beliefs of my clients, regardless of whether they align with my own.

I believe fiercely in individuality, autonomy, the freedom to choose and advocacy. I also believe in supporting Community for the betterment of society. .These last few weeks therefore have been a very difficult time for me on a personal and business level

both spaces that I rent to teach from I now obliged to be part of the restrictions exemption program. I am now faced with two choices, neither of which I consider to be fair as with both option there is exclusion and segregation.

My business is small, and I need it to be sustainable.
Can I continue to rent spaces with the uncertainty of knowing whether this will be financially sustainable?

I have decided therefore to keep some services in person (facilities adhering to the restrictions exemption program) and for other services to continue online in order to be able to support those who can’t, won’t or don’t want to be dictated to.

I WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE OR SEGREGATE

INFANT MASSAGE //

ever wondered how you could possibly learn how to massage your baby virtually? Well here’s a little sneak peek of how it works!

No, virtual classrooms are no substitute for the in-person energetic community classes, but they are a great addition when circumstances are challenging and offer flexibility for those who aren’t able to make the sessions in person for one or all of the five week course

if you have a baby between the age of zero and 12 months I would love to know how to give a nurturing, connected her body massage it will give you the tools and techniques that will last you and your baby a lifetime then join us for our next five week course starting in October.

When I trained and worked as a midwife in the UK we are back in 2008, the Doula as it is now known was just an emerging thing. Also referred to as a birth keeper or traditional birth attendant, the birth Doula is somebody that meets with you during your pregnancy and provides continuous support throughout your labour birth and early postpartum period. The main role of this birth support person is to offer emotional, physical and informational support to allow the birthing person (and their partner) to achieve their birthing goals surrounded by love, nurturing care and knowledge, just as our ancestral wise women would have done many moons ago (and still doing many cultures around the world).

investing in a berth dollar means investing in yourself and your family, bringing a trusted person into your inner circle who can offer truly individualised care and support you with a depth and focus that is unrivalled.

If you are interested to know more about what the birth doulas or if you would like to book a free meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit for you and all your family then please reach out and get in touch: 4039227571

I have openings from now until early/mid December ❤️

Every time I do a spotlight on services it reminds me just how powerful these programs are and why I love teaching and implementing them so much.

This program gives potential parents (or recurring parents!) The tools and techniques to really take charge of the birth and the birthing process; empowering themselves to achieve the best birth possible for them and their baby – no matter what kind of birth that may be (homebirth, water birth, hospital birth, Caesarean section)

if you’re anxious or her fears surrounding your pregnancy and upcoming labour and birth, or maybe you’re curious to know more… Get in touch and I’ll be happy to chat about why this program might be just the thing you need

This incredible mama & her support team had the most spectacular home-birth. She practised hypnoBirthing & was in such a deeply rejected state throughout the labour & birth. Baby O was so finely in-tune with her mama & her capabilities that she made her appearance fast and furious - just like her mama lives life. I had the honour (& surprise) of receiving this beautiful baby girls into my arms. What an unexpected blessing ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏. I love my job!

Shout out to Jeneve & Beth @aurora.midwifery who arrived to help birth the placenta & maintain the calm, peaceful environment this family so deeply desired

Season changed ☀️🌿🍂🍁🌨 it’s that

Season changed ☀️🌿🍂🍁🌨
it’s that time of year…

Seasonal changes can take a toll on our immune systems, especially when pregnant

here are some immune boosting suggestions:

- rest- ideally sleep, but even a 20 minute rest for your body and mind can help
- hydration – water is best
– nutrition – eating the best quality food you can afford, keeping it fresh, local, organic if possible ensuring that every meal has a rainbow on your plate will help keep your blood sugars regulated, give your body enough protein to support building a new human.
– Movement – continuing with a current exercise or movement regime is a great way of keeping your body strong, supple and healthy during pregnancy. If you’re thinking of starting something new during pregnancy, why not consider yoga – a gentle and effective way of supporting the body and mind without stressing either you or your baby.
– Supplements – this is a very personal choice, but ensuring that you are taking a prenatal/postnatal multivitamin in conjunction with some other natural immune boosting supplements can help. Easy things to add into your diet include: garlic, oregano, chilli powder/cayenne pepper, ginger kiwis and oranges (vitamin C) dark green vegetables (iron, calcium)
– Light - natural light is a great way to help regulate your circadian rhythm Especially allowing the sunrise and sunset rays to enter the eyes is especially beneficial to regulating our systems
– Mental health – ensuring that you take time for your mind as well as your body is essential during pregnancy and postpartum.Establishing a routine of positive talk, eliminating negative self talk or limiting thoughts can be a great way to put you in a good mental space.
- reducing stress – stress, especially chronic stress (meaning stress that goes on for a long time) releases the continual stream of cortisol into the body. This cortisol puts us in a constant state of Hypervigilance which can present in the body as disease, disorder and depression. Finding ways to manage or reduce your stress is really important

What are some other ways that you find helps boost your system during these times of change and transition?
