19.01.2022 You would think that having the choice with how you position your body is a given considering that a) youre a grown woman, and b) its your body. But no, many care providers and hospitals try to force women into unnatural positions to help them, rather than positions that help mother and baby. You do have rights and you can insist on being left alone to find the right position for you. Care providers can always work around that if they know their stuff.

12.01.2022 Are you pregnant, or know someone who is? Have you been looking for something different to the normal sometimes boring baby showers?? Let me tell you about the amazing blessing way ceramonies!! ... A blessing way ceramony is a spiritually holistic ritual to bring love and energy to the mother-to-be and her baby! In the Navajo tribe tradition, this ceramony binds the energy of the women closest to the mother-to-be, to bring protection and blessings to her and her unborn child, during the birth. It involves a series of rituals and usually takes place in the eighth moon of pregnancy!! I have teamed up with the amazing Megan Egan who is also a life celebrant, as well as a training end of life doula, to help bring this amazing ceramony to u! Want more info?? Please contact me via msg or even call 0432147490!
11.01.2022 "If you lay down, the baby will never come out." -Native American saying "Women walked, strutted, crawled, swayed, and leaned. They remained mobile, moving their baby down, facilitating a faster birth. The laboring woman would stand, kneel, sit, squat, hang, dance, or otherwise move her baby down; the one position that a woman never birthed in was lying down. Some Native American cultures used smoke bathes to help relax the perineum during birth. The smoke was usually created from laurel leaves burned in a small clay pot, which the mother would squat or kneel over. Some other times a secondary birth attendant would blow the smoke onto the mother's perineum."

07.01.2022 A year ago today I got to welcome this beautiful little girl to the world... happy first birthday Lacey-may
07.01.2022 yes!! Taking back control of your birth choices is so powerful. A vaginal birth is very much possible after 1,2,3 however many cesarean births.. with the right support and guidance.. Are you thinking of having a home birth, or maybe a VBAC? Let me support you and your choices but most of all help you make an informed decision!
07.01.2022 Hands up those who have consumed their placenta? Placenta is so full of nutrients and amazing hormones, it can help with milk production, post natal depression, reducing the size of the uterus and so so much more!!
07.01.2022 A shout out to all women who loved their labours and births. Our culture has become a place where often we find the only women that feel like they can share their stories post birth are those who found it disempowering, disappointing or even traumatic. We need to hear all stories and remember that every birth is important and every woman needs to voice her experience. Birth is a sacred, life changing event.
07.01.2022 Happy 1st birthday to little Levi!! this little man is growing up way too fast! Not only was I lucky enough to be his Mummas doula but I am his god mother too.. I love you little Levi and cant wait to see you tomorrow xx

04.01.2022 PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE THIS! Changes need to be made now!
03.01.2022 I had to share this!! Lacey is amazing and she really put into words how the lack of knowledge can lead to misinformed choices.. The placenta is actually really beautiful and an amazing thing to see, it nourished your unborn and kept it safe. It is the original tree of life Let's normalise the 3rd stage (afterbirth) and remove the fear of the placenta and embrace what amazing powers it has both during pregnancy and even after (placenta encapsulation)
