Reiki truly fascinates me and is something that I'm continually amazed by!

Recently I've had some really unique experiences in sessions with newborns and babies, where they have been so receptive to receiving that incredible flow of universal energy. They so easily tap in!

I've also given reiki to babies in utero, which is also very interesting and like no other sessions, as I often receive many baby kicks where my palms are placed during session as confirmation. If you think about it, pregnant people are often resting their palms on their belly and I believe this is to instinctually offer their baby reiki while in utero throughout the day.

Although reiki still remains a mystery to many, it's through these lived experiences that more and more people witness its gifts to even the tiniest of souls. This is why I'm passionate in weaving this into my doula support.

I have also often used reiki for my daughter to promote relaxation, help her overcome a stressful situation or simply for energetic protection from unwanted energy in our outside environments. She will often use a "reiki bubble" which is a way to shield yourself from negative energy.

It really has been a gift and a supportive tool in our lives.

If you're interested in learning more of how you can offer reiki to your children or booking a session for yourself or your baby, please schedule an inquiry call

Honored to be celebrating another 🌎 Doula Week!

What a difference 2020 brought and unique set of challenges for doula support. If anything it reaffirmed why this work is so important. We gotta keep showing up for one another, especially in difficult times!

There was a whole lot of doula-ing needed for everyone to get through all that. Myself included! Many of my happiest moments from life in a pandemic were with my doula clients and babies. 🙏❤

Looking forward to continuing this work that I love with a whole lot more hugs and feeling full of gratitude for the amazing people, families, and fellow doulas I've met along this journey! Let's Doula this

Feeling full of gratitude as I ring in 2020 and reflect on this past year.

Grateful for this work that brings me so much joy and feeds my soul. Grateful to the paths crossed with so many wonderful families. Grateful for the personal stories and wisdom shared along the parenting journey. Grateful for a feeling of community in what otherwise was a very isolated year. Grateful to each of my clients that have shared their children with me, that are constant reminders of the light within and hope for a better tomorrow.

I received this beautiful necklace this week from a dear client and I truly believe it symbolizes what is on the horizon for us all in 2021 🌈 The artist calls it the "hope" necklace.

"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." -Desmond Tutu

Thank you all for your loving light this year 🌠🙏

One incredible way we can really show support and care for expecting or postpartum moms is through wholesome, nutritious food that is made with ❤❤ This is one of my favorite things about being a doula so I wanted to share some of my go-to favorites that are pictured here!

➡️ Golden Milk is an easy to prepare ayurvedic beverage that promotes healing in the body through its anti-inflammatory ingredients such as turmeric and ginger. It is served warm, which is also an added healing component for women who have just given birth. From a traditional Chinese medicine and yogic perspective, heat is believed to stoke the chi, prana, life force energy in the body. For expecting moms, ginger can bring ease to feelings of nausea that many experience at some point.

➡️ Fresh Fruit Oatmeal Jars are one of my signature items I deliver to all my postpartum moms as they are first and foremost a quick and convenient item for moms to grab and are full of fiber, which helps keep the digestive tract moving. 💩💩

➡️ Protein Packed Cookies are another staple delivery as what pregnant or newly postpartum mom doesn't deserve allll the 🍪🍪🍪 These cookies are quick to whip up and primarily made with protein powder and almond flour, which provides added protein, magnesium, fiber and vitamin E...all beneficial to the body!

Postpartum visits are something that I'm truly passionate about in providing doula care. Yes, I absolutely LOVE newborn snuggles, but it's so much more than that.

They are unique to every family I work with, but my ultimate goal in providing them is honoring the Rite of Passage of this HUGE life transformation that just took place through active and compassionate listening. What was that whole experience like for you?

I believe LISTENING is the key. How often do we truly listen? I will admit it's a practice. Truly listening without the desire to offer what's "right" or "makes sense" because what's "right" will always vary from individual to individual. Rather my desire in listening is to hold space for a family to search for their own understanding deep within and in doing so, tapping into what intuitively feels most in alignment.

When a family is given this, further integration of this Rite of Passage unfolds.

Sharing this serene BIRTH SPACE from a recent birth. You know it's inviting when you take a moment and wish you were the mama about to get in that tub!

So what makes a birth space supportive and so important in labor?

As mammals, its most important that no matter what environment we choose to birth in, it's one we feel safe in, which can vary from person to person. For when we feel safe, we can let go of our alert and analytical mind and drop into the flow of our bodies. If you imagine a mama bear out in the wild, she chooses a space to birth her cub where she doesn't have to be concerned with predators. Same idea for us humans.

Oxytocin, the hormone of love and labor, is also a key player here. The body has an innate and intelligent hormonal loop that supports the body in labor. When we support the release of this hormone and keep endorphins high through mostly our sense of safety, there is less space for the stress hormone of adrenalin, which can slow or stall labor. Again, imagine a mama bear who is stressed and worried, making it difficult for the body to soften and open in that contracted state of mind.

Creating a birthing space that is inviting, soothing, and safe is ideal. Consider also the people in your space and whether they will add or detract from this.
