25.01.2022 Your experience of birth and motherhood matters. You deserve to feel supported, calm and in control in pregnancy and birth. You deserve to feel supported, heard and held in your transition to motherhood. ... You deserve access to the most powerful mind tools there are to break free from your limiting feelings and beliefs. You matter. It all matters.

25.01.2022 When I teach birth education and talk about sleep I am invariably asked, 'isn't it unsafe to sleep next to your baby?'. No. It is not unsafe. It is biological normal. Sleeping AWAY from your baby is unsafe. I actually find it quite offensive that someone could tell me that it is unsafe to be in close proximity to the very being that was created from my own body. Get out of my bedroom and worry about something that is actually dangerous for babies - like the appalling breastfeeding, growth measuring and feeding 'advice' that is handed out left right and centre from health professionals that should know better.

20.01.2022 Come along for some baby wearing practice!

20.01.2022 If you think ‘not consenting’ will protect you from all the things, think again.

20.01.2022 ‘Trust YOURSELF before anything else. Reconnect with your intuition.’ Yes.

14.01.2022 Important we’re so geared towards productivity, doing important things. Getting stuff done. Being competent. The change of pace and definition of doing with... a small baby can be frustrating and weird, make you feel lost, like you’re not doing anything. When actually, the doing of the baby-toddler phase is the most intensely unseen doing you’ve ever done in your life. . . We don’t acknowledge motherhood as an immense job in itself, one onto which we layer piles of EXTRA STUFF. We say to ourselves WHY AM I GETTING NOTHING DONE ANY MORE? We undermine so many of our achievements because we’re not seeing them. We look for accolades to show how good we are at things. But motherhood can’t ostentatiously show us how well we’re doing with notifications, likes, pay rises, promotions and appraisals. So we have to learn the language of motherhood wins and there are so so many wins, they just look - and feel - different to what we’re conditioned to feel proud of. . I love this image @fromthepine ~ We’re all doing a wonderful job, so we are, so we are . You are more than enough. You’ve done brilliantly today. . . #workingmother #motherhoodrising #honestmotherhood #thesupermummyth #matrescence #selfcareformums #buddhismformothers #freelancemum See more

12.01.2022 Pregnant or know someone special who is? I’ve got spaces available for pregnancy and birth support for women due after mid January. You are worthy of support. You are worthy of working toward the birth of your dreams. ... But are you willing? Send me a message and we can book a time to chat. X

11.01.2022 I got my Pinterest Mum on and made our advent ‘calendar’. We’re starting tomorrow with Carols by Candlelight. It includes notes saying what we’re doing that day: craft activities, adventures with friends, baking, yummy treats, giving to others, etc. Made from a stick out of the garden and origami hearts. I just put it together while the kids were out. We all love surprises so I’m excited for them to see it when they get home

11.01.2022 Where are the wise women? We are born into the hands of a gloved medical practitioner. Where are the wise women?... We experience our first menstrual bleed with embarrassment and shame. Where are the wise women? We become pregnant and struggle to find a path that feels right. Where are the wise women? We give birth in the presence of strangers and are touched by those same gloved hands. Where are the wise women? We learn to breastfeed through tears, pain and anxiety. Where are the wise women? We experience the ache and turmoil of matrescence with loneliness and confusion. Where are the wise women? We mother our children through anger, guilt and despair, trying desperately not to have them relive our childhoods. Where are the wise women? We struggle to communicate and feel connected in our relationships. Where are the wise women? We begin to question the narrative we have been sold about womanhood and motherhood and we wonder in anguish, where are my wise women? Why aren’t they here for me? Where is my village of women ready to nourish me and hold me at each of life’s rites of passage? If we feel a lack of wise women, able to hold us through our rites of passage, let us become those wise women so our daughters and granddaughters can say. I feel held by my wise women. Our blueprint, as women, is to have that village of support. It is a primal need. It is in our DNA. Do you feel it? Artwork: The Daughter of the Daughter of My Daughter by juliedillon on DeviantArt

11.01.2022 Stop searching for answers outside yourself and your baby. You will find all you need there AND if that inner search still leaves you feeling like there is something that needs investigating or something is wrong, there is help and assistance available.

10.01.2022 Something along these lines came up in our women’s circle on Saturday. That many women experience a surge of creative energy postpartum and feel like they want to ‘achieve’ and ‘do’. We pondered how much of it was our surging postpartum hormones to help us feel good as we experience such demands on our energy and how much of it was this internalised capitalism (among other things).

10.01.2022 Education happens in every waking moment. Our classroom regularly includes the beach, skate park, sporting venues, the bush, playgrounds, friends houses, family’s houses and many hours in our own home and yard.

09.01.2022 Have a listen. Are you enraged? I am. ... Our next Women’s Circle holds the theme: What does it mean to be ‘Feminine’? Looking forward to seeing you there and unpacking some of this.

09.01.2022 Parenting is a 24 hour gig. The easiest way to parent during the dark half is to have my little ones close

08.01.2022 Mother your baby through the night

08.01.2022 The Limitless Woman All of the Women’s Work I do, I dedicate to my little woman. I am striving to be the change I want to see in the world, for HER. ... Women have an incredible opportunity to influence the future of the world. How we mother directly impacts how our children grow up to view the world. This in turn dictates how they will go on to interact with the world and treat others. So why is it so hard for so many of us to show up as the gentle, respectful, calm and patient mothers we wish to be? Generations and generations of intergenerational trauma and epigenetic programming mean that how we are right here right now is a result of how our mothers were treated, our grandmothers, our great grandmothers and even further back. At least 14 generations in fact. That’s a hell of a lot of women and a hell of a lot of cumulative trauma and oppression. Recently I took part in an incredible training program that taught me how to help a woman remove these patterns from her lineage. Once she decides she’s ready to let it go, she lets it go for herself, her ancestors and everyone in her lineage to come. I was blown away at how this tool actually worked. I witnessed transformations in the women I was training with and I witnessed transformations in myself. Now, it takes a bit to ruffle my feathers and it also takes a bit for me to say, ‘wow!’. But during this training, I was impressed. I noticed huge shifts in myself and those around me and any doubts I had about whether this was ‘too good to be true’ were soon gone. I wish every woman could experience this process and feel the lightness, clarity and calm that comes over them after a breakthrough. But it’s not for every woman. It’s only for those who are ready to let go of negative patterns. It’s only for those who are done with their limiting beliefs and paralysing feelings. It’s only for those that know something has to change NOW. The process is called Creatrix (R) Transformology (R) and I’m super excited to be one of lucky women sharing it with the world. I’m doing this for my little woman. So she can grow up with a whole lot less negative patterning, trauma and limiting beliefs than her woman ancestors. Who will you do it for?

08.01.2022 A little reminder that your baby is yours. You're allowed to say no. (and the easiest way to not feel like you have to pass them around is to pop them in the carrier when there are people around).

05.01.2022 This is the other part to the previous post. Do you have permission to be unavailable? Or does it always have to be carefully asked for, arranged, timed and prepared for?... Do you have to make sure all of the chores are done and food is prepared before you become unavailable? Even when you are unavailable are you still available on the phone for menial questions?

05.01.2022 Here’s a little article I wrote about how simple parenting our babies and young children can be. It is aimed at mothers who are feeling like they should be doing ‘more’. More educational games and toys, more child centred activities, more specific stimulation. You don’t need any of it. ... Life can be so simple. You are enough. http://www.becellison.com.au//slow-and-simple-parenting-fr

02.01.2022 I don’t want pills or hormone altering devices in by body AND I want to be able to control my fertility. Enter: Fertility Awareness Method. ... It’s so much more than just birth control. Having an intimate understanding of your cycle not only makes contraception easier, it makes life easier. I love it. Even though it’s still my responsibility, there are no harmful side effects. http://www.becellison.com.au/the-justisse-method.html

01.01.2022 You don't have to settle for shit care. Even if you feel like there aren't other options. Even if you feel like this is 'just how it is'. You deserve better than that. I am available for one off consultations to help you debrief from appointments, find more information or help you work out what your options are. You deserve to feel treasured, fully attended to and supported.
