The first 9 days of becoming a mother have cracked me wide open.

In the most beautiful, disorienting, soul-stretching way.

There have been moments of pure love I didn’t know my body could hold.

and moments where I’ve felt exhausted, overwhelmed, and completely undone.

Both exist. At the same time. 🙃 Neither is right or wrong.

No one really prepares you for the identity shift.
For how everything you were meets everything you’re becoming.

Suddenly my life revolves around this little squish mellow and my self care practices went completely out the door

The hormone plummet. The sleep deprivation. The healing of a body that just went through a ultra marathon. The new anxieties around this little being "is she breathing??" "Is that a rash?" "She's sneezing. Is she getting sick?"

The primal instincts to do anything and everything to keep my baby safe. It's beautiful. And it's also another mind game 😅

I've felt deep sadness. Deep, profound love and joy. Anger. Bliss. Anxiety. And probably every emotion in between.

Mothers - I am humbled 🫶🏼

Our sweetheart, Luna Grace Lukash, arrived safely March 18, at home 🐣🩷 divinely, on the New Moon 🌝 8lb, 1oz.

During an incredible sunset, with the snow melting, 2 days before Spring, just like I had envisioned.

That was the most wild, primal, humbling, empowering, challenging, and trying experience of my entire life, and it was worth every second.

Yes, I am booking therapies to process this event 🤌🏼

We couldn't have done this without our incredible birth team of midwives and our doula, ._co . This girl deserves a Nobel Prize. 🥲 More to share on that. Briona, you are a miracle.

We chose to not share with many that we were planning a home birth, as we had worked through many of our own fears and assumptions prior to coming to our informed and confident decision that this was the best place for us to birth.

So, surprise!!!! 😂

And somehow, even though I wanted to throw in the towel MANY times, even though I got completely in my head MANY times and fear-stricken, even though I said "I don't think I can do this" MANY times, and lovingly heard back "but you already are", WE SOMEHOW DID THE DANG THING!!!!!

And I brought our perfect little girl into this world naturally, the way women have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years.

These days don't come with words, transitioning into motherhood. But it all feels perfect somehow.

And once again, its been affirmed to me:

• Feel the fear, and do it anyway 💪🏼

• You are beyond capable of what your mind limits you to 💪🏼

• You don't have to feel ready to be ready 🔓

So I'll be over here touching these wrinkly little toes and apparently brushing this absolute mop of hair 😂

Luna Grace, welcome to Earth ✨

🚨⚠️ I'm personally alarmed by the astonishing rates of diseases like cancer and dementia, occurring in younger and younger people - simply through observation of people that I know.

I'm consistently learning new information and remaining curious as to what is all contributing to the declining health of us humans.

It's easy to say "oh it's too overwhelming to keep up", but I know I won't regret any of this knowledge accrual in doing my best to prevent disease and promote the health of my family.

I didn't know that Ziploc is under a class action lawsuit over microplastic shedding concerns 😳 - but I'm of course not surprised and am satisfied to hear this.

I found this video helpful in terms of safer food storage options 👇🏼

Let's look at how to store food sustainably. Gone are the days of using BPA infused Tupperware. It's time we opted for safer, healthier and more eco-friendly...

I'm not calling this "maternity leave" - I don't love the word leave.

And truly, I'm not leaving, I'm not disappearing. I love this community and feel so at home here.

I won't be hosting any further offerings for the time being 🤍

I'm entering a new chapter of my life while we await babe's arrival that feels tender, sacred, and deeply transformative. This season asks for presence, slowness, and devotion to my body and mind. So that's what I'm 'doing' 🙂

You may see me host the occasional breathwork journey / yoga class when it feels spacious again - potentially Summer 2026.

If you'd like to stay connected and receive personal updates on our journey, The Sanctuary is where I'll continue to share 🫶
(It's my free online community for those who have participated in EMBARK experiences - link in my Instagram bio or DM me)

Big love to you,

Kimberley 🐣

37.5 weeks and still coming back to my mat 🤍

Yoga has been the most supportive form of movement for me during pregnancy.

It helps me:

👉🏼 Breathe deeper as my body changes, supporting my diaphragm and pelvic floor working together (reduces tension, supports more instinctive labour pushing)

👉🏼Maintain strength without strain (not overloading joints which are already more mobile from pregnancy hormones)

👉🏼Create space for my baby in my body and pelvis (I feel much more ease in my side ribs after practice!) and helps baby find an optimal position for birth

👉🏼 It reminds me to soften inside sensation - arguably one of the most important skills for birth.

I'm so grateful for the practice of yoga that has evolved with me in this season. And to beautiful teachers like Jessica of on YouTube - highly recommend her for pre and postnatal Yoga!! Thank you for your gifts 🙏🏼🙏🏼🧘🏼‍♀️

🤓 Research shows prenatal yoga is associated with:

🧘🏼‍♀️Decreased back and pelvic pain
🧘🏼‍♀️Decreased pregnancy anxiety and depression
🧘🏼‍♀️ Decreased risk of preterm birth
🧘🏼‍♀️Decreased perceived labour pain
🧘🏼‍♀️increased birth satisfaction
🧘🏼‍♀️Increased maternal - fetal bonding

Yoga in pregnancy simultaneously trains breath, nervous system regulation , mobility + stability, pelvic awareness, mental resilience, and body trust. ALL skills required for birth and postpartum recovery ✅

Mamas, head to your mat! 💜

Such a perfect little overnight at Little Manitou Lake at the !! 💆🏼‍♀️💧

We stopped in Watrous today to find a super sweet thrift shop (scored vintage plates for the cabin and a camping mug)

& a Health Store (Little Olive Health Market) with a lovely owner we had a great visit with & stocked up on some items

WHY hadn't we been here yet? It's 1:11 from our house 😏

Perfect way to support the body pre-birth. We feel so relaxed and excited 😊 highly recommend for a special SK holiday. Look up the history of Little Manitou Lake and its healing properties... I had no idea! It's a salt water lake.

Excited to come in the summer and checkout the drive in theatre, campground, golf course, coffee shops, Danceland, Beach Bar, and all the live music events I hear go on here 💃🏼🕺🏼
