🫶🏼2026🫶🏼

On solstice I wrote down 12 wishes / goals for the new season ahead. Each day I burned one while folded, releasing them to the universe to take care of for me. 1 was left for me to open today, as my responsibility for the year. It couldn’t be more fitting. From motherhood, finances, my body, my relationship - all that is taken care of and already in progress.

I only need to let go of my own fears keeping things small to allow it all to fall into place.

As a follower, patient, client, partner or future connection of whatever kind - I’m beyond grateful for you and so excited for what’s to come in 2026.

In Love & Health,
Dr. Anna Marie

2025, the year of expanding in all the ways I never knew I could.

January: Finding some peace after busy holidays
February: First trip to Nelson and started on a RX for my PPA
March: Back to work, navigating bottle refusal and our first two teeth
April: Started solids and sunny days
May: Hikes, first Mother’s Day and pool hangs
June: First toes in the lake and first flight to Edmonton
July: Camping, gardening and started another income stream to support my family
August: Boat days and visits from California
September: Wineries, weddings and scaling up working
October: More wineries, pumpkin patches and first Birthday celebrations
November: Crafts, lake dates and a date night
December: Last birth of the year, busy clinic days and Christmas celebrations.

Not pictured was the countless hard nights, exhausted days, big feelings and growing and learning that we all did together.

I couldn’t be more proud of all of this year. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my village.

My favourite year yet.

I keep coming back to those early day of nursing, when it all feels like such hard work. For me it was terribly painful, so much work and when it did go well I never felt like I could count on it being good again the next time.

I remember having to work really hard at gently setting boundaries of wanting to cuddle him myself after feeds, of reminders for clean hands and no kisses, of feeling the magic and also just it being so much.

So if you’re in the thick of those days, just know you’re not alone. You can take all the space and time you need and that next year the holidays might be filled with a toddler running around, playing solo with his toys and nursing while twerking to Christmas Raffi songs.

You’ve got this.

When your kiddo is wide awake at 5:40, there’s no excuse not to make pancakes.

Happy Friday everyone. And FYI milk kefir is a great sub for buttermilk!

Finally got around to trying the camomile gummies from with his molars coming in and they were an instant hit!

I brewed some organic camomile tea pretty strong (4 tsp / 2 cups hydrogen water), let it steep about 15 mins *with a lid on*, strained then dissolved 3 tbsp of organic gelatin and popped it in a container in the fridge to firm up!

They are cooling, soothing and he is loving them!

(Also an awesome way to get bone broth into your little ones too!!)

My sweetest boy, my greatest joy and most humbling experience.

Having worked in perinatal care for almost 9 years I’ve walked alongside many people in their parenting journey. But walking it firsthand gave it a perspective I expected yet was entirely unexpected at the same time.

Our experience has not been easy, but it’s been so so worth it. I show up now with fatigue in my bones, my own bouts of baby brain, experience with breastfeeding struggles and a renewed sense of wonder about infant movement and milestones. I hope to share this with you and continue walking alongside the parenting journey of you all.

I could type out a whole essay on this topic, but I’m a bit short on time this morning, so I’ll start and end with this:

I see you. I see the aspects from thinking about doing the thing to planning the thing to executing the thing and if you’re like my family, you likely hold one of those three roles for most things in the house.

I hope this weekend brings you more teamwork, and you can set aside some time to plan out your week and go into next Monday feeling a little bit more settled about all the things going on in your life.

We’ve got this!

Catch me showing up to your prenatal doula appointment with all the goodies.

You get access to my:
- peanut ball (soooo comfy for those late weeks of pregnancy)
- birth sling (awesome for stretching in pregnancy and labouring with support upright)
- TENS machine (IYKYK)

Our first visit includes lots of education, space to connect, and support for whatever is feeling most supportive for your journey. Our second visit is a labour rehearsal, supporting postpartum preparation and making sure you’re ready for your upcoming family expansion.

I love deepening our connection, providing a safe space for all your excitement, fears and worries and helping you breathe through it all.
