Postpartum support

01/15/2026

Women that may resonate with having perfectionist tendencies (🙋‍♀️😅) may find pregnancy, birth and postpartum quite disorienting. When we are used to being in control, studying, learning, achieving, ticking all of the boxes, the uncertainty and roller coaster-like nature of postpartum can really come as a shock to some of our previous patterns (that have served us well in other stages of life) but are not what is actually required of us in postpartum.

When late night google searches have us spiralling, wondering the ‘right’ way to do something, when our babies don’t follow what the books say (hint: many many don’t), and feeling like nothing had been achieved in a day because there isn’t really a tangible measure of success in this phase of life.

If any of this feels true for you, you are definitely not alone and it is actually an extremely common response.

Right now is where gentleness, self-compassion and a sound listening ear can be so nourishing and really really helpful.

Be gentle with yourself as you learn something for the first time (where there is no manual), work on accepting the fact that perfection doesn’t exist and keep reminding yourself of ALL the things you are doing extraordinarily (I can assure you there will be many!)

Sending so much love to anyone in this stage, or even if you are not there anymore but reflecting on what your experience was like ❤️

I want to start by saying that this checklist is not something we need to be achieving every day. It is more meant to be ideas and inspiration for you to reach for when you are needing some nourishment in a tough season.

If postpartum is feeling overwhelming, exhausting, depleting or even when it’s not, tending to our physiological needs can support us in big ways and they do not require much thought or mental energy when we don’t even know where to start.

If you have a bit of space you can pause and check in with your body and this moment and choose something that you can give to yourself. Other times this space won’t be available and you can just pick one thing from this list that feels possible. Even little things can go a really long way and you are developing habits and ways of being that include taking care of yourself as you take care of your family ❤️

An invitation to save this for when you may need it, or send to a friend who may benefit.

I hope you all have had some space to rest and nourish yourself through this winter break. I am so looking forward to connecting with you this year and for all of the exciting things coming for Held & Whole Postpartum.

Knowing that building community takes time but also bursting at the seams to bring some really special offerings to Prince George very soon, with more virtual support coming too.

If you are looking for postpartum doula support, I am currently booking into March/April/beyond so please get in touch soon if you are expecting a new family member this spring or summer ❤️

This list could go on forever 😅, what would you add?

Sending love to all moms who have birthed this year, holidays can bring up a lot so be kind and go gently with yourself ❤️

If postpartum is feeling hard, chaotic, impossible, like you’ve lost yourself a bit: You’re probably right. It is all of those things.

But you’re not failing, you are not broken, you are not doing anything wrong. You are healing, you are nourishing new life, you are shedding older versions of yourself and growing into a new version, into the mother you were meant to be.

It is messy and it is painful, and it is also excruciatingly beautiful.

Wherever you are in your journey, you deserve support. You deserve to be heard, held and cared for during one of the most tender parts of your life ❤️

In times of chaos where it feels like life is spinning from demands from all areas on top of sleep deprivation, feedings, diapers, laundry, siblings adjusting, their feelings, your feelings, here is a question you can ask yourself to help ground back into your current reality.

“What is required of me in this moment?”

Can we slow down momentarily to actually pause and look around and check in what yourself, your family, your body. There may be so many things that could be done, but what is actually required of you in this exact moment?

Maybe it’s taking 10 deep breaths, maybe it’s putting a show on so you can close your eyes for a few minutes, maybe it’s saying something kind to yourself and acknowledging the overwhelm and all you are holding, maybe it’s finding something nourishing to eat, maybe it’s going outside for some fresh air. Maybe while you are feeding your baby you soak in all of their tiny little perfect features, maybe you have 5 minutes of deep presence to give to your toddler. It could be literally anything depending on your particular circumstance of any moment, any day.

There will always be something that needs doing - but what is actually requires right here and right now?

A simply nourishing space to share, hear, relate and tune in with ourselves.

You can sign up at the link in my bio. My dm’s are open for any inquiries or questions you may have.

This circle is open to everyone, no experience necessary and you are welcome exactly as you are❤️

Promoting warmth, rest and healing can happen in so many different ways.

Keeping the digestive fire going with warm soups, stews, teas, broths etc.

Keeping the body physically warm with wool socks, blankets, herbal baths.

Keeping the heart warm surrounding yourself with love, care, listening and support.

Also acknowledging how much easier this all happens during Fall/Winter compared to summer ❤️

For quite some time, I have been dreaming up a space for women to connect, be seen, be heard and share stories together. Where we come together in a community where everyone belongs, everyone is welcome, and we are all given space to connect with each other and ourselves. This space is open to all stages from pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood and beyond.

I am so thrilled and beyond excited to be offering a 4-week online women’s circle starting November 9th. Together we will venture through different topics relevant to womanhood, connect to ourselves and our bodies and share and listen to stories within the group.

As we are gathering online, please join from wherever you are! I welcome anyone from all places and parts of the world and I can really feel that this group is going to be so nourishing and filled with growth and connection.

No circle experience is necessary, come as you are. All of you is welcome. If you have any questions or curiosities, my dm’s are always open and I would love to chat with you.

Here is the link if you are ready to gather. I am soooo looking forward to connecting ❤️
