Nature is endlessly, mind-blowingly amazing!

“When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”.⁠

For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades. Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too.

Even if a pregnancy doesn't go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream.

Research has shown that if a mother's heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart.

The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby.

How cool is that?

This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant.

It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back - so that the baby can develop safely and survive.

Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave?

Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?”

If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them.

I find this to be so very beautiful.

It's official and I am proud to announce that I am now an Isla-Grace trained and certified Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist!

What does that all mean? I now offer sleep education and consults for families looking for a holistic, attachment and development based approach. I help families who seek alternatives to "sleep training" and cry-it-out methods. This is suitable for breastfeeding families.

My apporach is baby-led and family-centred:
Baby-led means we give advice based on what is developmentally appropriate for your child.
Family-centred means it's not just about sleep, but also nuturing family relationships and adapting our advice to your unique family situation, needs and environment.

I am a mom to 2 wonderful children, one of whom was a terrible sleeper. I went through all the physical and emotional struggles of trying to follow advice that blamed me for setting up "bad habits" when I was simply following my own instincts. My percieved "failure" at getting my baby to sleep eroded my parenting confidence and increased my anxiety. I was tricked into thinking that my child's frequent wake ups were the exception when in fact they were very much the norm. I felt terrible when I finally did the cry-it-out methods only to realize that when those methods didn't work, I put my child and myself through that for nothing.

I've heard these exact same struggles echoed through the stories my clients tell me. This inspired me to seek out ways to help families with sleep and to also change the way we approach sleep as a culture.

I offer Gentle Newborn Sleep Prenatal classes for pregnant families to help you prepare your home and mindset for sleep before your baby arrives.

I also offer private consults to families who are struggling with sleep.

DM me if you'd like to learn more!
