25.01.2022 I have this in my room and I read it when I need the remainder



24.01.2022 Recommending this online summit for parents to be and all round birth passionates. I watched it last year and found that the line up of guest interviewers were fantastic and it continues to be so this year. Today's interview it's midwife and researcher Dr Rachael Reeds (australia) talking about the delivery of the placenta... a very important 'not enough' discussed topic. Coming up Rhea Dempsey's interview about her new book & already looking forward to it! Check it out!... #birtheducationmatters #betterbirth360 https://www.betterbirth360.com/

23.01.2022 #placenta Adaptation to life outside the womb is the major physiological task for the baby in third stage. In utero, the wondrous placenta fulfils the functions of lung, kidney, gut and liver for our babies. Blood flow to these organs is minimal until the baby takes a first breath, at which time huge changes begin in the organisation of the circularly system. Crying slows the intake of blood, which is also controlled by constrictions of the vessels within the cord (Gunther 1...957) - both of which imply that the baby may be able to regulate the transfusion according to individual need. #placentafacts #knowyourbirth #shivamrachana #saberespoder #lotusbirth #physiologicalthirdstage

18.01.2022 Throw back 2015 on my #postnatal days. Kalen was 14 days old. @rigobertamenchu was visiting Melbourne & I couldn’t say no to this very special invite to one of her talks. I couldn’t stop crying when I approached her and told her how proud I was of her and her work. She gave a blessing to my baby warrior. I’ll never forget -that- gaze of hers. ... #rigobertamenchu is a human rights activist for their indigenous people of Guatemala. #novelpeaceprize for: in recognition of her world for social justice and ethni-cultural reconciliation based on respect for the rights of indigenous people’. The work isn’t finished, clearly. #indigenousbirthright #commitedtosocialactivism #startswithbirth #womanitatthecentre #multiculturaldoula #theportalmassage_doula

16.01.2022 I was utterly exited and surprised this morning when I opened my front door and found your book Rhea Dempsey Birthing Wisdom My book was in your first delivery pile! Feeling vulnerable and frightened yet so inspired and happy to find a snippet of my life story in this book while I read it. Definitely an experience I haven’t had before. Rhea has been my doula mentor here in Melbourne. I could hear you talk for ever Rhea! You hypnotise me with your wisdom and experience.... I read Rhea’s first book ‘birth with confidence’ before falling pregnant and becoming a #doula . So if you haven’t read it, it’s in my top 3 must reading books I recommend to clients . #australiansoildashome #lifestoriesarerich #immigrantwithpassions #vulnerabilityisokay #trascendinglifeexperiences #melbourne #multiculturaldoula

12.01.2022 #worldbreastfeedingweek2020 Breastfeeding means a lot to me, not only for its biology and bond wonders but personally it had a HUGE positive effect going through the toughest time in my life. When Kalén was 18 month, my relationship broke down in the most unexpected way. Having to accept the anguished in becoming a solo mother and my deepest dreams crashed into the ground was something it was not easy to move on from.... It was hard to be 'present' with my baby who was too a stimulated and busy toddler. It was a real struggle to find peace in my heart, to enjoy motherhood. Regardless how much I loved being a mother, I did not have -or I thought I didn't have- much left in me to offer. My mind was playing tricks, wondering if my mental instability at the time was related to my mother's mental health history. Breastfeeding was the 1 link we had Kalén & I to connect at that deeper level. Breastfeeding was a remainder and a vehicle to come back to my body, for my son to feel 'safe' no matter what how hard the situation was. It 'forced' me to slow down, helping me to self regulate. I don't have that many breastfeeding photos,let alone pretty ones. But I can assure you, there's no place or situation I can't think of where I didn't breastfeed Kalén (including once at home while I was giving a massage to a close friend of mine!) From time to time I ask Kalén what does he likes about la 'teta' and he last told me: amo la teta! (I love the boob!). My heart explode with love. I often call him my 'little dragon' and my 'little lamb'. #breastfeedingweek #gratefultobreastfeeding

11.01.2022 My dear long term client Hanna, having a cuddle before their treatment this morning #homebasedpracticerocks #cathealer #catcuddles #massagetherapyalltheway #theportalmassage_doula

10.01.2022 I am travelling in between worlds today as I am going over memories from 5 years ago. That day, my baby was knocking the earth's door Nothing can prepare you for what labour truly is but I did my part on the journey and I was confident in my visions and intentions. I did my inner preparation. Amidst the hardships of life threw on us and undoubtedly knowing what I wanted , needed and aspire for my birth I felt I didn’t have an option in having Jan & Kelly as my midwives. I ...did not put a foot in the hospital during the 10 months, nor have any scans. The compassion, care and professionalism that I received from them went beyond what money is able to get. They made my birth wishes possible and they listened oh man if they listened to my many life sorrows. Regardless of how little money we had (at times none) I couldn’t really negotiate my birth story. How ‘potentially’ could have unfolded if I wasn’t going to take charge of my part. I wish it didn't have to cost so much money but it was the only way and money... what is money?! It saddens me knowing that my experience is a privilege and shouldn’t be so. Continuity of care should be standard and home birth should be a public option. Freedom is my motto. Although I’m very aware that the notion of freedom is what we make of it. However for me to notion of freedom in my birth was having the same midwives all along my pregnancy, birth and post birth, establishing a relationship so they knew who I was and what I wanted. Freedom meant, not having to be restrained in hospital times, travels, routines and protocols. Freedom meant to only focus on me and my baby in the safest way and that was at my home. When the time came to make to call to head to hospital after 24 hours of labour, I was the first one to put my hand up. That was exactly what I wished for, medical intervention when absolutely necessary. I was grateful. Nonetheless I was never alone. My birth team didn’t leave sight of me and they supported my partner (at the time) while he felt he was crumbling. . . . . . This very morning, while I was reading Rhea’s book 'Beyond the birth plan' under the subtitle: ‘Appropriate support’ these, hit home: Felling secure, she/they are free to develop her/their own sense of self and resourcefulness. She/they are free to explore. In attachment terms, we would call this kind of support a secure base for exploration. And that was exactly my experienced. Thank you once again Rhea, for putting words into something as primal as what it is as ‘to feel safe’ . In my birth I felt safe and I worked fucking hard to claim it. #claimyourbirth #innerwork #labourland #inbetweenworlds #rheadempsey Rhea Dempsey Birthing Wisdom MAMA Services Melbourne #mama_melbourne #securebasedofexploration #hardworkpaidoff #beyondthebirthplan #multiculturaldoula #melbourne #theportalmassage_doula
