Yes!!

Every mother has her ups and downs when it comes to parenting. One minute your child might seem like a little angel, calmly sleeping in their crib, while another they may seem like the devil incarnate, throwing tantrums and testing the limits of your patience. And Australian artist Paula Kuka perfec...

So true ❤️

*** Update: I've learned that Jabina Coleman IBCLC was the person who coined the quote pictured here. Unfortunately, Facebook isn't letting me tag them, but I wanted to give them credit. ***

The day I had my cesarean, a family member visited me in the hospital. As she entered my room, she walked right past me and directly to my baby. I felt invisible. I needed love in that moment. I was at the beginning of what would be a long struggle post-partum and I needed to be seen.

It takes a village to raise a child, but also to raise a mother. Motherhood is sometimes scary, overwhelming, lonely, tiring, exhausting and oh so hard. We need a village. People who can give us support, make us laugh, love us, telling us they've been there, giving us a smile - someone who holds us, the mothers. Be in that village, just like you need other moms, you need to be there for other moms too. ❤️

It really feels like we’re in summer mode these days, which means a couple of my families are counting down to meet their babes very soon—yaaay! Here’s to long summer days, sweet memories made, and the precious gift of life. Happy long weekend, friends!

Feeling so humbled and grateful today. Just wanted to share my happy news: I’ve been added to the BC Aboriginal Association of Friendship Centres approved doula list!

Doula support is so valuable, providing emotional and physical support to women before and during labour and birth. I truly believe all women would benefit from having this support, and I’m so grateful for how this grant opens up this possibility for many!

From the BCAAFC website: “The BCAAFC and First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) are proud to jointly offer funding to cover the costs of birth doula and postpartum doula services for pregnant Aboriginal mothers and families, living in BC (both on and off reserve). This partnership works towards bringing birth closer to home and back into the hands of women.”

As always, I’m honoured to be on this path supporting women, their families and their precious babies. If you know anyone in Vancouver who is looking for accessible and caring birth doula support, please feel free to share 💛❤️🙏☺️

The biggest gift family and friends can give a new mom 💛

A postpartum lying-in is one of the ultimate acts of self-care for you and your brand new baby. Here's how to plan a modern lying-in; one where we acknowledge the realities and expectations of a modern mama with the realities of a healing body and the expectations of a brand new baby.

Sharing in a miracle...

My journey towards the world of birth began when I became a mother myself in 2013. The arrival of our four children over the past six years has impressed on me the true wonder of birth and new life. When the time felt right, I began walking along this doula path. It has been a joy-full experience so far; one that allows me to share in this miracle of life again and again.

My doula path so far:

DONA International Birth Doula Workshop, Vancouver, BC, January 2018

Office volunteer at a busy midwifery clinic, Vancouver, BC, January - June 2018

Basics of Lactation Management for Doulas, Lactation Education Resources, May 2018

Home Birth Workshop, Fraser Region Aboriginal Friendship Centre Association, December 2018

Complicated Birth & Support Workshop, Doula Training Canada, February 2019

Ongoing required readings for DONA Birth Doula Certification

Three births (and counting!) attended in both home and hospitals

My day job (running after my four children) keeps me busy, so my aim is to complete all DONA certification requirements by the spring of 2020. In the meantime, I continue to read, learn, and come alongside expectant women, their partners and families through birth labour support.

Role of the Doula

According to DONA International, doulas “provide continuous physical and emotional support, and assistance in gathering information for women and their partners in labour and birth.” As a doula, I will come alongside you and your partner to help you feel safe and cared for, in hopes that you find joy in labour and the birth experience. I believe if a woman experiences emotional care and well being during labour, birth and postpartum, this helps provide a good foundation for strong relationships between the parents and child, which in turn will impact their future together.

My role as a doula is to assist you in having the birth experience that you want. This will primarily come through providing physical and emotional comfort measures. It is not my role to project my own hopes and goals onto your birth experience, nor is it within my training to provide any medical procedures or give any medical advice. I work in conjunction with you, your partner and your caregiver, as part of the entire birthing team.

Thank you for inviting me to share in this very special time in your lives. I consider it an honour and privilege. I am looking forward to our journey together, as we welcome your babe down to earth!
