It’s time to turn up and face reality.
I love what I do. I love being an open ear for women, for being by their side for pregnancy and help them work out what it is they and their partners want to achieve in birth.
I thought I was so ready to jump back into prenatal yoga and birth work after having some time off with the twins.
I missed it. I love it. I craved to be back in it.
However, I’ve recently come to realise I wasn’t in fact ready. Not quite yet anyway.
Not because of the impact is has on me or my family… But the impact it has on the women I’m working with. You see, when I teach prenatal yoga, I don’t want you just turning up for 75 minutes a week and that’s it. I want to know all about you. I want to hear about how you’re going, how you’re handling your journey. I want to be apart of your pregnancy. I can’t help it; that’s who I am. I usually walk away knowing more about you than you, and having you on my mind more than you’d ever realise… trying to recreate this way of working with women after adding two more children to my family during a pandemic… was a little more challenging than I first imagined. Why? Because I am unable to give my all to those who need it.
And the ladies who walk through my studio doors or who enter my inbox deserve more than what I have been able to give them. This role I’m in, can’t be done half assed (for want for a better word).
So it hurts me to say, that for this moment will be the online shop only for a little while longer, while yoga and birth preparation continue to take a wee little bit more time off.
I can’t thank you all so much the support I’ve received over the years and the passion you’ve all ignited in me. It’s not gone, it’s still very much there 💕
