It has encouraged us to dig deep to find joy, purpose, gratitude and faith. It has pushed us to find new ways of working, learning and evolving.

18.01.2022 One of the most magical highlights of my work is when I get to massage one of my own family. I’ve had the absolute honour and privilege of massaging one of my step-daughters, Brooke, during her first pregnancy, 3.5 years ago on a visit from NZ. Now, both of my nieces, Somer when she was pregnant 2.5 years ago and more recently my nephew Beau’s wife, Bek. Here is a photo of their beautiful baby girl Zahlia Rose, nearly 3 weeks earthside. Just melts my heart. How lucky and ble...ssed am I. What is even more special is the beautiful woman & Midwife whom I’ve had the absolute privilege to have worked alongside as a Birth Doula; helped guide this baby girl earthside. Sonya Charlie at Nurture Your Birth and the beautiful Dawn at Lockyer Valley Midwifery - you are magnificent. (Don’t mind my dishevelled look, I’d just had an amazing 2hr hot stone massage from my beautiful soul sister)

14.01.2022 I’m so blessed to be a part of a beautiful ‘blended’ family. I have 2 gorgeous daughters whom I have co-parented with my ex-husband, Guy Johnstone and his lovely wife Lay-Ah-Nay. Our girls are now in their 20’s, independent, loving, strong and compassionate young women; living their best lives. ... I’m proud that we could provide them with a loving, nurturing and grounding environment. One devoid of toxicity, blame or criticism, but rather of respect and love - even though our parenting style hasn’t always been on par; somehow our girls have been able to embrace the uniqueness of 2 different homes... bottom line - they have always been shown love, respect and a validation of their worth and importance in our lives. My amazing husband, Lee O’Malley, has been a constant in the lives of my girls and has blessed me with the most gorgeous step-daughters, step son, (step) son-in-laws and grandchildren. My heart is full Happy Father’s Day to all of you who step up, show up and provide the space for your youth to grow into kind and caring humans.

11.01.2022 MANGOES FOR SALE How do you like your mangoes? They are such a versatile fruit. I personally love mine in a salad with Baked chicken and avocado and a lime and sweet chilli dressing, or peeled/sliced/frozen and made into a smoothie bowl or a Mango Colada (coz I love doing yoga and getting caught in the rain )... As you can see from the fruit displayed in the large wicker basket, the blush and colours are just amazing! These are all seconds - at the mercy of the birds and picked straight off the tree. The majority are ripe, marked/blemished from sap burn and sunburn; but nonetheless, still super juicy and sweet. 6 x smaller trays - $ 15 each 7 x buckets - $10 Please DM if interested - will be at the massage studio between 9:30-11:30 tomorrow (Australia Day)

08.01.2022 Hi beautiful Mumma’s, my name is Leah Palmer-O’Malley and I’m the Owner snd Sole Practitioner at Bellies & Bubs. I’m a Remedial Massage Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Reflexologist and Doula; with a passion for Pregnancy and Birth. I’m also a Mumma, Step-Mumma and ‘Nia’ (Nanna Leah) to 4 absolutely incredible little humans. ... Yes, I wear many hats, which has enabled me, over these past 20 years, to build a credible reputation amongst my peers and gratefully support, nurture and guide thousands of Mumma’s on their pregnancy, birthing and parenting journey. Not only that, to infuse my own experiences of pregnancy, birth and ‘mummying’ from the past 24 years, has been an incredible gift. So Mumma’s I ask you this... are you looking for a dedicated time and space to remove some of your many hats? would you like, just once a week - at the very least, 75mins of uninterrupted time to just ‘be’ .. to inhale, exhale, repeat and connect with your body and baby? are you in your 2nd or 3rd trimester and looking for a class that supports your pregnancy fully and provides you with all the delicious elements of yoga - with some extra guidance and tips on aligning your body, mind and baby? Then I would love to share the next 4 weeks with you. Bookings are essential via this link https://belliesnbubs.com.au//4-week-pregnancy-yoga-classe/ Namastè Leah

07.01.2022 It’s taken me to my mid-50’s to finally be able to say and feel unequivocally and without ego, that ‘I’m worthy and ‘I value and appreciate me’. ....to love this vessel and temple that has carried 4 babies, nurtured and fed 2 beautiful girls; undergone so much yo-yo dieting over the years and oozed self-doubt and self-sabotage; lived through heartbreak and losses of miscarriages, divorce, financial stress, menopause, death and grief. I hear you and feel you Mumma... I’ve b...een you. ....’Showing up for ourselves’ isn’t always first and foremost in our minds. We put everyone and everything else before our own desires and needs. Mumma, take some time for self care, whatever that looks like for you and affirm to yourself... ‘I am on my side... I am on my side’ See more

04.01.2022 We think in pictures and we should be painting accurate pictures. The cervix nor the vagina bloom. The cervix is not a zip lock bag. The purpose of labor is NO...T the creation of an opening or a hole... The purpose of labor contractions and retractions is to BUILD the fundus, which will, when it is ready, EJECT the baby, like a piston. Without a nice thick fundus there is no power to get baby out....the cervix does not dilate out....it dilates UP as a result of the effort to pull muscles up into the uterus to push muscles up to the fundus. The cervical dilation is secondary to that. The cervix is pulled up as a result of the building of the fundus. Assigning a number to cervical dilation is of little consequence and we make a huge mistake by interpreting progress or predicting time of birth to that number. Any experienced midwife or OB can tell you that the cervix can be manipulated and that a woman whose cervix is at 7 could have the baby in a few minutes or a few hours. If more providers and educators knew the truth about birth physiology, we could make a huge difference for mothers. What is important is to keep her well supported for the purpose of the appropriate chemistry, to keep her well hydrated and nourished for muscle strength, and to believe in her. We should be supporting her so that her physiology and that of her baby are unhindered, so they can finish what they started. We should not be measuring, poking, or interpreting her labor. THIS CHANGE in teaching about labor could make such a difference for women who are imagining what is happening in their bodies during labor. How much more strength might they have if they have an accurate picture?" -Carla Hartley http://www.indybirthservices.com/blog/nova-birth-services

03.01.2022 Good morning beautiful ladies, I hope your weekend is starting in the most amazing way. Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on here of late. It’s been a bitter-sweet week. ... My eldest daughter, Siena and her partner Isaac, finally flew into Brisbane on Thursday, after 2 years in Canada. I can’t believe in 2 weeks (after quarantine) I will get to hold her in my arms once again. Today also marks the 1st anniversary of my beautiful Mum, having grown her Angel wings, after her short battle with brain cancer. This time last year, we ‘held space’ and our Mum as she took her last breath. By far, the hardest day of my life and I am forever grateful to have had the most amazing mum, best-friend and ‘Naughty Nanna’ to my girls. In reflection, I am reminded of the circle of life. For many years, as a Doula I ‘held space’ with and for Mumma’s and families as they welcomed their baby’s first breath. What an honour and privilege to be able to do the same for my own Mum, as she took her last breath. I cannot thank you all enough for your continued support, encouragement and friendship; it truly means the world to me and warms my heart and soul. Warmest Leah

01.01.2022 Resuming pregnancy yoga classes this year has been so rewarding and joyful. 2020 has felt like it has flown by, feeling like a whirlwind of trials and tribulations for many (including myself at times)! But never has the importance of human connection been more powerful and connecting with my yoga Mummas has been absolutely no exception! Allowing Mummas the opportunity to create space and alignment for their bubba to enter into life Earth-side with ease has inturn filled my ...own cup. #gratefulheart With December fast approaching, pregnancy yoga classes have finished for the year. Holding space for each and every lovely lady that has gone through their pregnancy yoga journey with me has been an absolute blessing. How could I be anymore thankful? My next block of classes will commence in January 2021, with dates and location yet to be advised! Stay tuned and watch this space! The end of 2020 for my family and I will include reunions, celebrations, reflection and gratitude for the lessons and love this year has bought. And of course a few glasses of bubbles here and there! I hope you have happy holidays and take this time to reset, refresh, rejuvenate and of course spend time connecting with your loved ones! Perhaps I will see you on my massage table before the year comes to a close. Namastè, Leah
