If you’re in your third trimester, you know the "mental load" is getting real. 🧠

I’m finalizing a new Postpartum Planning Workbook designed to break down the big transition into 6 bite-sized topics (think 10–15 minutes each). No fluff, just the essentials, culminating in a one-page summary for your fridge.

I’m looking for a few expectant moms to "beta test" this PDF.

In exchange for early access to the full workbook, all I ask is for your honest feedback on whether it felt helpful and manageable.

What does a postpartum doula actually DO? The specifics will vary client by client but the outcome is always meaningful support, so when I have to really boil it down my answer to the question is "I help in the home of families with newborns" ✨ I come to YOU and I am there for whatever you need on that day, from a listening ear, to help with the baby, to giving you peace of mind to take a real shower and nap in fresh pjs.

Please share this with anyone you know who is expecting or even recently postpartum! In this day and age we can all use a little real talk and human connection ❤️ it's over 3 minutes so meta won't recommend it to anyone who doesn't already follow me.

I have availability through the end of Jan and early Feb, and then I will be out of Canada and pretty offline for the back half of Feb so now is the perfect time to reach out for help feeling GREAT about your postpartum support plan - no charge and no tricks, just a full heart that wants to see new mamas thrive ✨

Being unscripted on the internet is a scary thing, but so is hiring someone from the internet to help you through a vulnerable time when you've just had a baby.

Planned/polished content and information is still part of my social media goals, but I also want you to know I'm just me!

In August I completed a one-year program through Mohawk College to support breastfeeding. This certificate represents 126 course hours covering basic anatomy and physiology of human lactation, assessing and managing difficulties related to infant suck and milk transfer, and examining the effects of various infant and maternal issues on breastfeeding including premature birth, birth trauma, pregnancy and labor complications, and weaning practices.

I learned a lot! This series of courses exceeds the lactation education requirement for doulas and meets curriculum standards for individuals seeking certification as a lactation consultant with the IBCLC.

Today, my certificate arrived in the mail and I had to laugh. Did I know the program was called breastfeeding? Yes. Did I think the certificate was going to say just that? Honestly, I did expect a few more words to make it clear 😅

Smart!

Vitamin D supplementation for breastfed babies is important because breast milk doesn't provide sufficient vitamin D🙏

I suggest keeping your vitamin D close by where you nurse at a specific time of day to help you be consistent.

Vitamin D is often a good vitamin for grown ups too - postpartum is a good time to rebuild your body's nutrient base and establish healthy habits 🩷

Thanks to for a great conversation and helping normalize the conversation that postpartum doesn't look the same for all women.
