Birth is a threshold. It is transformation and takes time for integration. This is why it is so important to plan for allowing time, space an support. This is what I'm here for. I offer sacred postpartum care for newborn families.

Cervix gazing

All cervixes are pink

In my line of work I get the honour of coming in contact with many cervixes.

Whether dilating at birth, a pap smear, gynae examination, or explaining fertility awareness and cycle. alignment

One thing struck me is that all cervixes are pink. No matter the colour of our skin.

Pink, smoothe, silky and plump.

That's it.

I live and love and serve through the wisdom of Womb and cervix.

In my eyes we are all smoothe, silky and pinkish.

And I love that.

Sometimes it’s hard for new parents to have their needs met. It can be hard to know what you need and hard to ask for it. This is why trained postpartum care is so important.

Take a look at this meme....have any of you ever answered that way? What did you do in this situation?
Please remember you are not alone and Mother-Wise is a safe place to reach out or even just talk in the group. We love to support and want you to have the best experience as a parent.

Thank you to all the midwives and all you do.

we all need a midwife
not to do our work
for us

but
to see us naked
and call us beautiful

to acknowledge we are
more than just a vessel

to witness our power
and remind us
when we have forgotten

what we
can do

Letdown is quite the sensation.

DO YOU FEEL YOUR LET DOWNS? Who knew my knitted b**b also doubled as a pin cushion?! But actually - the most common answer moms tell me about the “let down feeling” is it feels like the tingly, pins and needles feeling after your foot falls asleep! ✨
But it’s also normal for you to not feel it, or have the sensation not feel as strong or disappear as your baby gets older!
Just because you may not be able to feel it, doesn’t mean it is not happening!
When you get a letdown, the hormone oxytocin is making tiny little muscles flex around where your milk collects and making the milk come out!
If you don’t feel your letdown, what else can you look for to see if you are getting a let down?
✨ your baby will change their sucking pattern, from a short and choppy sucking to long draws and more of a rhythm!
✨ your baby will swallow more frequently (because they are getting milk faster).. it sounds like a soft “kah”.
✨ you may feel super thirsty! Your body is always making milk, so when milk leaves fast, your body takes fluid and nutrients from your blood to make the milk and that slight drop in fluid signals to your brain to drink some more fluid! 💦
I have a whole story highlight on what let downs felt like for moms! Check it out 😊 Maybe you actually do feel them and you just don’t know it.
