So proud of this girl right here. She ran 5K with me for the @calgarywomensrun this morning, despite being cold. Having a nosebleed. Having self-doubt

We turned negatives into positives. Felt the positive energy. Learned abouts ourselves along the way. All whijst supporting USAY @usaycalgary & their work

Periods shouldn’t be an extra concern for the most vulnerable & disadvantaged women & girls. Understanding menstruation & safe sex is a vital life skill for young women

Tapping your glands is an excellent practice to br

Tapping your glands is an excellent practice to bring into your daily routine.

Whether you start your day with it, re-balance, re-energise and rejuvenate after emotional challenges, or bring it into your bedtime routine, this practice is hugely beneficial

Certain points in the body are better for certain things, so you can focus or reduce focus as needed.

If you’d like to learn more about practices like this, why not come along to the upcoming holistic pregnancy and birth workshop on Saturday, the 18th of October and fill toolkit with more gems like this

🚽. I know, I know. Nobody wants to look at them

🚽. I know, I know. Nobody wants to look at them, let alone clean them.

but if there’s two things that I hear that people are scared of once they’ve had a baby it’s this:
One – having their first poo
Two – touching/cleaning a perineal tear

But on a serious note here.

Postpartum healing. Perineal recovery. Bladder and bowel elimination.

The matter.

So why am I suggesting these options?

1.. A bidet removes the need for toilet paper. Toilet paper can cause friction and can get stuck in places you don’t want to getting stuck. Gently spray as you pee to reduce stinging and discomfort. Why not opt for some nice warm or cool water to clean and soothe after you go.

2. Elevating your knees above your hips and getting into a squat position to eliminate when having a bowel movement optimises the whole process.

Not only do you not want to strain when you’re going for a 💩 but essentially you want to sit down, get to it and get up. No lingering. This will reduce the amount of pressure on your pelvic floor and subsequently reduce swelling and discomfort

Happy 💩 ing

trigger warning: discussion around intrapartum and fetal death

Just a little 💗 note to anybody expecting, trying to conceive or in the very delicate postpartum phase and not in the space to absorb traumatic and graphic information.

Probably best to stay away from media channels and news feeds for the next little while.

There has been a lawsuit brought against medical staff involved in a case down in Georgia, USA which resulted in a very graphic fetal death and alleged cover-up thereafter

I would also like to send my love and open up my heart and my inbox to anybody needing support if they are feeling touched by this event
