🌿 Acupuncture for Men's Health & Fertility 🌿

Fertility and reproductive health aren’t just women’s concerns. Acupuncture can be a powerful support for men looking to optimise s***m quality, balance hormones, and reduce stress to improve your chances of conception.

💡 When to start: Ideally, men begin acupuncture around 3–6 months before trying to conceive to allow the full benefits to take effect. Early intervention can improve s***m count, motility, and overall reproductive wellness.

✨ How it works: Acupuncture can support fertility by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and regulating the nervous system. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs, focusing on your unique physiology, lifestyle, and fertility goals.

👨‍⚕️ With Dr Nicole Pawley, each session is personalised, combining Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis and deep understanding of anatomy and physiology to support your reproductive health and overall wellbeing.

Book your consultation today and take proactive steps toward fertility and vitality.

✨ The Newborn Scrunch ✨

You know that irresistible moment when you pick up your baby and they curl their legs in, tuck their arms close, and pull into a little snuggly ball? That’s called the newborn scrunch 💛

This sweet reflex is your baby’s natural way of staying in that cozy, womb-like position after birth. It’s part of their instinctive design, and a sign of their healthy tone and nervous system adjusting to the world outside.

You’ll usually notice the scrunch most in those first few weeks after birth, gradually fading as your baby begins to stretch out and explore their new environment. Soak up every little scrunch, nuzzle, and cuddle!

Learn more about healthy newborn reflexes and behaviours, plus get support during your fourth trimester by booking postnatal doula support with Sarah Goldberg 🌿 Link in bio

The Power of Your Birth Partner 🌿

Take a moment to breathe, and imagine your birth space. Who is in it? What do you envision them doing to support you, and themselves? How they are navigating the space around you and with you?

Apart from the birthing person, her birth partner is the most important person in the room. Their presence, confidence, and calm can shape the entire experience, and they can support you in a way no one else can. Providing strong support strategies for a partner to use during birth is vital to create a joyful experience for both of you, increasing feelings of safety and trust that enables you to work with the ebb and flow of labour.

Childbirth doula and educator Sarah Goldberg believes that the love and support of a partner is powerful. She creates space for this connection to deepen, coaching and educating partners so they can step fully into their role, ready to nurture, encourage, and celebrate alongside you, and stepping in when advocacy or a moment of respite is needed so partners can be fully present.

Curious about having a birth educator / doula to guide you leading up to and during labour? Reach out to enquire. Together, you and your partner can create a birth that feels connected, empowered, and deeply shared. 💛

🌿 Unwind the branches of your mind 🌿

Spring is no stranger to us now, as the Wood Element rises within and around us, singing its song of growth, expansion, and outward grasping.

Yet, this fast-moving yang energy can sometimes leave us feeling tight, pressured, overwhelmed, caught up in our heads with nowhere to go.

Massage of the face and head can restore softness and lift the heaviness of the mind. Gentle, intentional facial and scalp touch helps to:
🌸 Ease headaches and release jaw tension (TMJ)
🌸 Relieve sinus pressure heightened by spring allergens
🌸 Melt away stress held in the muscles of the face and scalp
🌸 Encourage restful sleep and calm the nervous system

This sensitive part of the body, with so many touch receptors, which holds so much, can sometimes hold the key for letting go. As you surrender into stillness and allow energy to drain away from the head, down deep into the tissues all the way to your toes, your body will remember that it can, and eventually must, unwind.

Let this be a moment to return to yourself, grounded, refreshed, and open to the new 🌱

✨ Book a massage at Nurtured Birth and let us help restore your natural flow this spring.

🌿 Supporting New Mamas After C-Section 🌿

Welcoming a new little one into the world is a beautiful journey, but it can also bring challenges, especially for mamas recovering from a cesarean birth. At Nurtured Birth we're here to provide holistic support and healing for new mamas navigating the postpartum period after a C-section.

Our therapies, including massage, acupuncture, physio and osteopathy, offer gentle yet effective ways to support your recovery and promote healing. Massage therapy can help alleviate discomfort, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, while acupuncture can aid in pain management, hormonal balance, and overall relaxation. Physiotherapy and osteopathy offer techniques to address postural/muscular imbalances, pelvic floor issues, and scar tissue release.

Whether you're dealing with physical discomfort, emotional adjustments, or simply need a moment of self-care, our team is here to provide compassionate support tailored to your unique needs. We understand that every mama's journey is different, and we're committed to helping you feel empowered, nurtured, and supported every step of the way.

If you're a new mama recovering from a C-section, reach out to us today to learn more about how our therapies can support your postpartum healing journey. You deserve gentle, nurturing care as you embrace this new chapter of motherhood. 💖

The Power of a Kiss in Labour 💋

Have you ever heard of kissing in labour?

It might sound surprising but something as simple as kissing during labour can make a beautiful difference.

When you kiss your partner, especially deeply and lovingly, your body releases oxytocin, the same hormone that fuels contractions, softens the cervix, and helps labour to progress. It’s also the hormone of love, safety, and connection.

Kissing helps you drop out of the thinking mind and into the body, into warmth, intimacy, and trust.
It reminds the birthing woman she is not alone, she is supported, loved, and held.

This is something your partner can do to help you stay connected, calm, and open. Whether it’s soft kisses, gentle touch, or simply holding each other close, those moments of connection can nurture oxytocin flow and bring calm through each wave.

Birth isn’t just physical, it’s deeply emotional and hormonal too.
Love really is the most powerful medicine. ❤️

✨ Tag your birth partner to share this beautiful reminder.

🖤💛❤️ Acknowledgment of Country ❤️💛🖤

At Nurtured Birth, we acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, work, and gather in Windsor, Melbourne.

We pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present, and honour the unbroken lineage of women, mothers, and families who have birthed, raised children, and cared for one another on this Country for tens of thousands of years.

We recognise the strength, wisdom, and resilience that continue to flow through these communities, and we hold deep gratitude for the traditions of nurturing, healing, and storytelling that have sustained life and passed knowledge across countless generations.

At Nurtured Birth, we too believe in the power of story, education, and shared experience. We walk gently in our work, supporting women and families of all cultures and faiths, and honouring the diverse traditions and voices that enrich our community.

With respect and humility, we continue to listen, learn, and grow in the presence of the world’s oldest living culture.
