{for you}

I love all the places that welcome you so warmly. That see the hard work you’re doing. That support all the ways you’re growing.
It should always be that way.

{give her a hand}

Less comments on size and choices.
Less unsolicited advice and judgment.
Less horror stories and “just wait”s

More outstretched hands.
More encouraging shoulder tap.
More openess.
More acceptance.
More unwavering support.

All of us can be striving to be exactly what another person needs in a given moment. And all of us can decide that women doing the hardest work deserve our support, and the space to tell us exactly what they need.

showing us in one little move how committed we can be to showing up for each other.

There are no guarantees with birth. But feeling empowered and prepared can change so many things. A team of professionals educating and supporting you is exactly what is about.

Throw back to one of Dr labor and delivery prep sessions a year ago! One of my favorite sessions to get parents ready and able to have confident and knowledgeable conversations with their birth provider !!

{tools}

With the birth of my daughter Layla, I was blessed to receive a gift from a good friend of mine, an hour consult with a postpartum doula - that’s how I met April. It was an amazing experience and as a first time mom she helped me discover and trust my instincts.

Last week, 5 years after having my daughter I gave birth to my son Liam. I feel much more confident as a parent than when my daughter was born but even so nobody prepares you for the doubts and the feelings that come with having a new child. And when I came home from the hospital I felt a little lost and overwhelmed. I needed the space to validate my instincts, learn some new tools and figure out how to find my center with my son. And that’s exactly what April did. I sent her a message in the next day she was at my side, at my home, ready to listen and help me figure out what was best for me and my son.

I was specifically in need of help with breast-feeding. I left the hospital a little overwhelmed and maybe with some choices that I wasn’t confident on. April helped me rethink and come up with a new plan for what I would be comfortable doing. In a couple of days my son and I were in a good cadence that worked for both of us.

Big brother. Big sister.

But they’re still your baby. They’ve gotten all your time and love and energy. You know their quirks and the special way they do all the things. They know how to melt you with a look. You’ve memorized the way their arms hold your neck.

Their name is engraved on your heart. ❤️

The excitement is there for this new stranger but there are questions too. What will this new life look like? How will there be enough of me? How do I know this child, the first one to call me mama, will be ok. How do I make sure they know they’re loved in the midst of such transition. Can I help them see this new person as a gift. Will they understand what it means to have more people but no less love?

One to two is by far the hardest transition. Your baby becomes a giant overnight. All elbows and somehow the volume got turned wayyyyy up.
This is how it goes and has gone.
Watching one grow while starting from then beginning again.

🌿 I see you. I know your hearts. There is so much room. You amaze me with the way you love and grow. And you were made for this.

“Is it always going to be like this?” 😩

Have you felt this sentiment as a mom? You were so excited to hold your baby for the first time but holy heck, no amount of reading books, talking to friends or watching IG Reels would prepare you for the intensity that is postpartum recovery!

I mean, those mesh underwear! 😳

And that’s if you had a va**nal delivery! What about the bandages and healing required for a c-section?!

Then you get home from the hospital, away from all of the medical support who had helped you in those first 24-48 hrs, and NOW WHAT? You’re just supposed to know what the heck you’re doing?? 🤷🏻‍♀️Like there was some sort of “How To. . . “ guide that your baby just handed you as they emerged from your uterus? 🤔I know I didn’t receive that!

How do I get out of bed to get my crying baby when I can’t even roll over without feeling like I’m tearing my stitches?

My va**na feels so weird! Will s*x ever feel good again?

I miss my friends at the gym and I feel so isolated at home. What can I do to start feeling stronger so I can get back safely?

Got you covered ❤️

When will I feel like myself again?

All of these are sentiments I have heard from moms just like you and the answer is “Yes!” With the right support to help you reach your goals, you CAN do everything you want to do and NO, it DOESN’T have to be painful, isolating or scary!

At CSPT, we are here to help you in the most vulnerable part of your recovery. We will come to you and, through an individualized assessment and plan, help you feel strong, empowered and independent so that you can feel confident in your ability to know what’s “okay” to be doing. HINT: probably more than you think 🤫

My favorite thing to give patients who have trouble relaxing!

Oftentimes we want to relax but can’t. We feel tight or stiff but none of the stretches seem to help at all! Or maybe they help while we do them, but not long term.

Many times this is because there has been a disconnect between our brain and the rest of our body. Not the conscious part of the brain. The part of the brain that controls our background noise.

Sometimes this background noise was set in place in an attempt to protect us from something a long time ago but the patterns aren't really helpful anymore.

My favorite thing to give my patients is Tension Checks!

It is SO simple! This is how it works:

1️⃣ Set a timer on your phone or watch for every 2 hours

2️⃣ When the timer goes off, spend 10-30 seconds being completely still and notice what you can let go of in your body without crumbling to a heap of matter on the floor

3️⃣ Anything you let go of was UNNECESSARY tension you were holding in your body

The more often you do this, the more you can feel things let go and you can see so much more clearly how much extra tension you are holding.

Remember, if you’re standing when you do this, stay standing in the same posture. If you’re sitting when you do this, stay sitting in the same posture. You’re looking for whatever you can let go of and NOT see a change in posture.

If you find that you are constantly holding extra, unnecessary tension AND you’re experiencing pain, urinary incontinence/urgency, constipation, prolapse or any other pelvic conditions, reach out to a pelvic rehab provider! This extra tension often contributes to these symptoms and tension checks are not the only things to be done 😊
