Well... Indigo Doula Services went 3 for 3 today with our third baby since Wednesday! Another special family got to welcome their beautiful baby on this sunny Saturday. ❤️ Sometimes at 3 a.m. I question my life choices, but with the help of the amazing staff we've built relationships with over the years we found a spot to nap for a little while and found new energy to go on and support our people. They didn't have to do this, since doulas are not staff, but they go above and beyond every day to not only support our clients choices but also their birth team. I couldn't be more grateful! ❤️

🤍 Practice Makes Peaceful Births 🤍

One of the best ways to prepare for labor is to practice your comfort measures together before the big day. 🌿

Set aside a little time each week to:
💆‍♀️ Try different massage or pressure techniques
🧘‍♀️ Practice breathing and movement as a team
🕯️ Create your “birth environment” — dim lights, calming music, and scents that make you feel safe
💬 Talk about what feels good and what doesn’t — communication builds confidence

Every birth is unique, but comfort and connection always make a difference. 💛

💡 Fun Fact Friday! 💡

Did you know that when you feel safe, loved, and supported during labor, your body releases more oxytocin — the same hormone responsible for love, bonding, and contractions? 💛

That means comfort and connection aren’t just “nice to have” — they’re actually part of what helps labor progress smoothly! 🌿

In my Comfort Measures for Labor Class, we talk about how to create a calm, loving environment that boosts your body’s natural hormones and helps you work with labor instead of against it.

🕯️ Less stress. More oxytocin. More flow.

Two babies in 24 hours woohoo! What a magical night with my lovely doula colleague Dana supporting two very different births. Thankful for my fantastic clients and their trust in me, amazing hospital staff that welcomes us with open arms and respects my clients choices, and my family for feeding me and letting me sleep when I come back home. Welcome babies, well done parents ❤️

🕯️ Setting the Scene for a Calm Birth 🕯️

Your birth environment can make all the difference. 🌿

Soft lighting.
Soothing sounds.
A familiar scent.
A partner’s gentle touch.

When your senses feel calm and safe, your body can relax — and when you’re relaxed, labor flows more smoothly. 💛

In my Comfort Measures for Labor Class, I’ll show you and your partner how to turn any birth space — hospital, home, or birth center — into your personal sanctuary of peace and comfort.

✨ Learn to create the right atmosphere, stay grounded, and bring warmth and connection into every stage of labor.

💛 Comfort in Labor Is More Than Physical 💛

When we think of “comfort measures,” we often picture massage, movement, or a birth ball — but true comfort comes from feeling safe, supported, and seen. 🌿

Emotional comfort is just as important as physical relief.
It’s the look from your partner that says you’ve got this, the calm tone of a voice that helps you breathe through another contraction, the quiet presence that makes the room feel steady.

In my Comfort Measures for Labor Class, we explore both the physical and emotional tools that make birth feel more grounded, peaceful, and empowering — for both of you.

✨ Comfort Tip Tuesday ✨

One of the simplest ways to ease labor pain? Movement. 🌿

Swaying, rocking, slow dancing, or gentle hip circles help your baby move into a good position and keep your body relaxed.
Add your partner’s steady hands on your hips or lower back, and it becomes more than movement — it’s teamwork. 💛

In my Comfort Measures for Labor Class, we explore how touch, breath, and environment can transform your birth experience — whether it’s your first or fifth baby.

🕯️ Learn how to set the scene for calm, find comfort, and work with your contractions, not against them.

💡 MYTH BUSTER SATURDAY! 💡

Myth: “We don’t need a childbirth class — we’ll just wing it.”
Truth: Birth isn’t something you wing — it’s something you experience. 🌿

When you understand what’s happening in your body, how to stay calm, and how your partner can support you, you’re not just reacting — you’re working with your birth. 💛

In my Lamaze Childbirth Education Classes, we cover everything from comfort measures and advocacy to teamwork and mindset, so you can walk into labor feeling confident, not confused.

✨ Don’t wing it — prepare for it.

🎉✨ It’s My Birthday! ✨🎉

Another trip around the sun — and I’m feeling so grateful for this life, this work, and all the incredible people I get to walk beside. 💛

From supporting new families as they welcome their babies, to teaching classes that help first-time parents feel calm and confident — this journey fills my heart every single day. 🌿

I’m thankful for love that grounds me, friendships that lift me up, and work that connects me to something so deeply human: birth, beginnings, and transformation.

Here’s to another year of growing, learning, laughing, and living with purpose. ☀️

💫 Cheers to being exactly where I’m meant to be.

About Sabine Hankiewicz CD(DONA)

My name is Sabine Hankiewicz. I was born in Austria, Europe. I am a mother of two (raised three) and always loved anything that had to do with pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and breastfeeding. After moving to North America, I decided to make my dream a reality and became a doula. I have a passion for evidence based birth and and I believe that every birthing person deserves to be treated like the queen that she is.
