Autumn and winter are my crafty months!

When the weather isn’t so nice and I just need some peaceful time, my kitchen is my haven whether it is for creating or baking!

The process is sometimes pretty messy though 😱

When you are expecting a baby, there is so much to learn, decide, and prepare for and often, you do not even know what questions to ask yet.

In Ireland, maternity and postnatal care can feel confusing to navigate. There are many options and supports available, but unless someone explains them clearly, it is easy to feel lost or unsure.

That is exactly why I created The Guide to Maternity Care and Postnatal Services in Ireland: to bring together everything you need to know in one clear, accessible resource.

Whether you are planning your birth or settling in with your new baby, this guide will help you understand your choices, your rights, and the services available to support you along the way.

✨ You are not supposed to know it all, you just need to know where to start.

Tell me, what do you need to know about maternity or postpartum care in Ireland that you feel you haven't been informed about? Let me know in the comments: let's start a conversation!

The early postpartum can be pretty trying, am I right?

🌱 Broken sleep
🌱 Mental load on overdrive
🌱 Not enough time to recharge and regroup

All these and more, lead to exhaustion.

Do you consider this normal? Explain why in the comments!

If you think this is not normal, what solutions can we find?

It is Halloween, and yes, early parenting can feel a little scary sometimes! 👻

From middle-of-the-night feeding monsters, to laundry piles that grow faster than pumpkins, and the “what if something goes wrong?” goblins, those first months can feel like a haunted house of challenges.

But here is the secret: you do not have to face it alone. A little planning, rest, and support from someone who has walked this path can make even the spookiest moments manageable.

💡 Tip for surviving the “haunted” early weeks:
Keep a stash of easy snacks and warming drinks
Value your rest and recovery timeline, slow down
Reach out for support: even a small helping hand goes a long way

🎃 Share in the comments: what is the scariest part of early parenting for you (and how do you survive it)?

New Blog post!

Even the strongest parents need a little help.
In my new blog post, I compare the quiet, steadfast support of a doula to Samwise Gamgee’s unwavering presence in Frodo’s journey.

From practical help with meals and newborn care to emotional reassurance and guidance, a doula carries the load so parents can focus on bonding, healing, and building confidence in their new life.

Many parents do not realise how helpful postpartum support can be until they experience it firsthand.

This client summed it up beautifully:
“I had a wonderful experience with Amélie when she helped me and my second baby for several months postpartum. She was extremely flexible as my circumstances and doula needs changed. She was a calming presence in my house and quickly understood what I needed. A wonderful doula, I wish I had availed of her services for my first baby.” - Aoife, Lehenaghmore, Cork city.

Postpartum support is not a luxury: it is practical, compassionate, and life-changing. Whether it is help with meals, guidance on newborn care, or simply a calm presence in your home, I am here to support you through these early months.

If you are in Cork and would like personalised postpartum support, I would be honoured to help you navigate this time with confidence and calm.

There is so much about the postpartum that no one prepares you for.

The physical, emotional, and identity shifts all happen at once, and it can be a shock, even in loving surroundings.

As a postpartum doula, these are the moments I see every day, and they are all normal. You do not have to face them alone, or wonder if you are doing it wrong.

🌿 My Postpartum Planning Handbook helps you prepare for what is really ahead.
💛 My in-home doula support brings calm, nourishment, and rest into your recovery.

Postpartum healing is not a performance. It is progress.

Every day, every small action, every moment of rest or care contributes to your recovery, and your growth as a parent.

Take the time to move forward at your own pace. You are enough exactly as you are.

For practical guidance and support, my Postpartum Planning Handbook and in-home doula services offer calm, hands-on care for these early weeks.
