Sending extra love to our Jewish community today. With so much hate in the world it’s even more important than ever to be the light. Happy first night of Hanukkah from all of us at Doulas of Capitol Hill.

Winter weather is upon us. If you encounter a power outage as the result of high winds, flooding, or winter storms, this is important information to know!

[Image Description] Gray cloudy sky overlaid with text that reads, "Power outage? Worried about your frozen milk? Try to keep the freezer door completely shut while power s out. Once power is restored, check to see if there are any ice crystals that remain int he bags. If there are any frozen ice crystals at all, it may be refrozen." The La Leche League USA logo sits below the text.

Be the guide who supports that transformation.

Here’s why birth professionals love integrating HypnoBirthing principles into their support:

Breathing that truly works with physiology — easing tension and supporting smoother progress.

Mind–body education that reduces fear and increases client trust in the process.

Clear, grounded roles for partners that enhance the whole birth team dynamic.

Portable relaxation tools your clients can use prenatally, in labor, and postpartum.

A calm, confident atmosphere that allows your skills to shine.

When you understand the philosophy behind HypnoBirthing, you’re equipped to support families with even greater ease, intuition, and evidence-aligned comfort techniques.

People talk a lot about giving children a good childhood — the activities, the routines, the opportunities.
But so much of what shapes a child’s experience isn’t what we do with them.
It’s who we are while we’re doing it.

When a parent is constantly overwhelmed, resentful, or running on empty, a child feels that weight — even when nothing is said out loud.
And when a parent finds moments of joy, ease, and presence, a child feels that too.

Our energy becomes the atmosphere they grow up in.
Our enjoyment becomes permission for them to enjoy their own lives.
The more we allow ourselves to experience the sweetness in parenthood — even in small, imperfect doses — the more spacious and safe childhood feels for them.

The two are inextricably linked.
We don’t have to love every moment,
but when we can settle into the season we’re in,
our children feel the difference.
A lighter parent creates a lighter world to grow up in.

And that’s why our experience matters too —
not only because it shapes their world,
but because we’re human in this story as well.
Our needs deserve space. Our lives deserve care.

This season belongs to us as much as it does to them. ❤️

This is an important step toward making airports more family-friendly and supporting infant feeding on the go. Read more here: http://bit.ly/3KcAxnj
