| Finding Your Strength |

Strength⁠
Doesn't Always Come from⁠
What You Can Do.⁠
⁠
Strength Comes from⁠
Overcoming⁠
The Things You⁠
Thought You Couldn't.⁠
⁠
Doula support is about helping you shine in your strength. Reminding you that you are supported so that you feel safe to labour fully, without hindrance, judgement, bias, inhibitions... creating and honouring the space to allow the overcoming of it all.⁠
⁠
Your strength isn't an anomaly. But it is phenomenal, worth treasuring, worth protecting, and definitely worth celebrating. ⁠

| Self-Love 1st |

Attention all parents-to-be, practice saying these 7 important things to YOURSELF first. Self-love is a great gift you can give your little ones. Talk to yourself like you'd talk to your best friend.

7 THINGS EVERY CHILD NEEDS TO HEAR [you say to yourself first]:

1. I love you.
2. I'm proud of you.
3. I'm sorry.
4. l forgive you.
5. I'm listening.
6. This is your responsibility.
7. You've got what it takes.

This list is golden; gifts that keep on giving.

What does this have to do with Doula care? We see our clients in the most vulnerable and raw moments of their lives: pregnancy, labour, post-birth holding and coping with their new babies. Part of that care is walking with them, reminding them of their strength, their own wisdom, their moments of pure joys and sorrows... and often telling them each of these 7 things, until they can say them to themselves.

Doula support is life. Holding the space. Until you can. For you. For your family.

| Pregnancy and Infant Loss |

October 15th is recognized internationally as a day of remembrance for pregnancy loss and infant death. It's an opportunity for those who haven't experienced such a loss to recognize and learn. This loss is not rare, it's not to be hidden, it's not shameful, and it is to be talked about. ⁠

And it's a day for us to be gentle and to stand in the gap between sorrow and hope, for every client, friend, family.
⁠
Never underestimate the importance of your eyes to see, ears to hear, and voice to be silent while others voices are truly heard. No timelines, no expectations, no box to fit their grief in. Our words and expectations are powerful and can be hurtful. Let's be gracious, heart full, and willing to simply listen.⁠
⁠
We pause on October 15th to say we see you, we hear you, and our hearts are with you... not only today or this month but always. 💗⁠
⁠
If you'd like to support locally to help families who have, or will, experience loss of their babies, please touch base with ⁠

| Today May Be Too Much |

Mental health is a big deal and it needs to be destigmatize by mainstream social media and news. However, seeing it plastered all day on your feed can be heavy and exhausting, and can trigger, especially when you're in the midst of climbing out every day - not just for one day.

If this is you... wishing you some time today looking up at the great big sky, with fresh O2 in your lungs, and arms wide open.

We see you. There are people and places who can help ease whatever is heavy. Reach out, make it known, that's a good 1st step.

❤🧡💛💚💙💜
