23.01.2022 This morning I was on the Womb Food Podcast with @joelle.constance talking about my experience with pregnancy loss. Sharing my journey in a bid to heal some collective shame and offer love and guidance to those who need it. Right now I am delving deep to unravel my beliefs about running a passionate and successful business, in the amazing course with @themanifestingmums . Journaling, healing and transforming. Sometimes, big days can look like chatting with friends, listening to hypnotic tracks and journaling in the garden (and maybe some tears).
22.01.2022 Yesterday felt like a massive kick in the guts for many! My long awaited beach walk didn’t feel quite right as we were told to ‘just wait a little bit longer’...... But alas, the reopening is going ahead following ZERO NEW CASES TODAY! I’m crying happy tears. So happy for retail, hospitality and other business owners that have been desperately awaiting this news, and I’m so happy to feel like a free person again. ... Now for the big question! How will you celebrate?
22.01.2022 Fertility Yoga - Every Wed at 6pm via zoom. Find space and support through the healing practices of Yoga & Meditation during your journey of Fertility. Feel less alone and more connected to yourself, others and the little spirit baby you are calling in.
21.01.2022 A note to those approaching birth..... Let the outside noise drown out. You know your body and your baby, not that person, this professional or some article. You. Spend less time scrolling and more time in your body. More time breathing in the end of your magical journey, when you are the only one who can hold your baby like this. ... Cultivate deep love for yourself and whatever the end of this path will bring. Your baby can feel this love and will learn that practice of acceptance from you. Rest into your inner knowing that you and your baby are all you need to think of right now. @stephlipson_doula_photographer #birthpreparation #positivebirth #birthmeditation #onlinepregnancyclasses #2ndtrimester #thirdtrimester #3rdtrimester #childbirtheducation #childbirthpreparation #naturalchildbirth #pregnantmum #mumtobe2020 #mumtobe2021
18.01.2022 A song from our Raise Your Vibe playlist came on the other day and I got this warm fuzzy feeling. You know when you hear a song and it just instantly brings back fun, happy memories? That really brought it home to me, the power of these weekly dance parties, creating fun happy times amongst all the turmoil that is 2020. Our party last week ended with one of our smaller people shouting in ‘That was the BEST dance party ever!!’ Another beautiful person told me how one of th...e songs brought about a big realisation within her. She realised just how much she’d changed in becoming a Mother, and how much she needs to be kind to herself. The power of music, dance and coming together. Connect with a world of fun and laughter and no masks, even if it’s just for 20 mins a week! PS. Totally free to join and open to everyone Book in through my bio!
17.01.2022 Some lovely words from a fertility yoga student this week: ‘It was a fantastic class. I also wanted to thank you. It was through our first class that you motivated me to put more energy into my fertility journey. Since then I’ve now an Accupuncturist, an apt set up to see one of the top specialists here in Melbourne, I’ve had my bloods done and I’m back practicing yoga almost every day. Thank you for the inspiration and commitment to be at your classes every week.’... Join in tomorrow evening at 6pm (AEST). It’s an intimate, supportive group, and the practices are very nourishing and healing for this journey. Booking link is in my bio or through my website (www.louisemaguire.com)

15.01.2022 & Pain, trauma and grief will stay stuck in our bodies and minds if we don’t find ways to release and shift them. I recently came across the term ‘Post Traumatic Growth’. Well I had actually heard it before but this time it landed differently, it made so much more sense.... I believe these difficult experiences occur in order for us to learn, grow and transform into a better version of ourselves. Many other women that have experienced a loss have told me how their journey has helped heal aspects of themselves allowing them to show up as the Mother they wanted to be. Learning how to find your way through heartache, grief, pain, discomfort; aren’t these amazing lessons to pass on to your children who will no doubt endure suffering of some kind like every other human? From my experiences, realisations and professional learnings, I know that: Ignoring your pain or wishing it away in an instant is not the way through, I wish it were that easy for us all! Instantly wishing for another Pregnancy to forget this one will only impact your experiences further down the line. This suffering will only manifest in a different way down the line. This is your time to heal. The practices of Yoga and a Meditation are designed to help release stored emotion, pain and trauma from our bodies. Physically releasing these emotions allows room for more healing energy, more peace and more joy. Hear it from one of my beautiful students, Kate - I’m still using some of the poses from this course months later to remind me I am strong and this cannot beat me. ‘Yoga & Meditation for Pregnancy Loss - A Holistic Course’ will be held again this November. The first 4 women to join can use the code ‘FIRST-FOUR’ for a 15% discount. This code will automatically expire after 4 uses.

14.01.2022 The quality of your breath is so essential during pregnancy. In my online workshop next Wednesday, you will learn specific breathing techniques that can reduce stress, lower your blood pressure and improve sleep quality. Through your breath you can find stillness, resilience and power; in turn letting your baby experience this too. During birth, having a comforting tool to lean into is a beautiful way to restore balance and perseverance. Some practices are important in the ...early stages of labour, others are used to help guide your baby gently through your body during that final stage. Join in, ask questions and feel more confident and prepared for your pregnancy and birth. Booking link is in my bio, we already have a few Mums signed in, and I’m not quite sure when I’ll do this again so don’t miss your spot!
14.01.2022 Happy Birthday to this beautiful man I get to spent life with. Couldn’t have it any other way @alexjpenman

13.01.2022 1 year engaged.... we decided it was finally time to celebrate it By far my favourite day of 2020, thanks to everyone who came along to make it so special It was the best thing ever to see everyone together again!
12.01.2022 Are you wondering how to best prepare yourself for birth???? There are podcasts to listen to.. articles to read stories to hear.. books to complete.. We live in a world of overwhelming information, and it becomes SO much louder during Pregnancy.... But what is really important for a ‘healthy birth’? First up, health involves a few different aspects. It involves the physical, the mental, the emotional and the psycho-social! As a Yoga Teacher, Doula and Nurse, and having worked in Pregnancy and Birth for years now, I have finally put together a course to ALIGN WITH THE BIRTH OF YOUR DREAMS! This program is designed to get you out of the doubts, the stress and the overwhelm, and get you back to feeling centred, grounded, and confident. It involves a range of holistic practices for you to focus on during the lead up to birth think Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama (breathwork), Doula Support (from yours truly) and Connection (with other birthing friends!) Honestly this is something that has been simmering for quite a while and I am finally getting it out there because I know you need it and I know I can help. Birth is one of the most important experiences in life; for you, for your baby and for your whole family. This is WHY I have created this program. And just so I can support more of you wonderful people, I am offering a sale on this program for the next THREE weeks!! The pre-sale price will be 30% off until November 25th, just send me a message or comment below for the discount code. More details on https://louisemaguire.com/align-with-birth/
12.01.2022 Peace on Earth begins with Earth. You know now what? Birth-workers experience trauma during birth too. And I believe the fact that many do not have the time/space/tools to process this trauma that the cycle continues. One of the greatest lessons from my @dynamodoulatraining was learning how to unpack my own trauma, nourish and heal myself so I can facilitate others to do the same.... Yoga & Meditation are two of my most used practices, and so from next Wednesday I will be offering Yoga for Birth Workers. We cannot fill from an empty cup. So take care of yourself before attempting to care for others. We cannot offer put peace and calm if we Booking link below. All my love fellow birth nerds, we’ve got this. https://eventbookings.as.me/BirthWorkerYoga
11.01.2022 Hoping this year brings lots of growth
11.01.2022 It is the last day of Birth Trauma Awareness Week and I just recorded this meditation for the birth workers here in Melbourne. We focused on connecting and opening our heart space to create healing energy in our bodies, and beyond. The electromagnetic field of the heart can actually be measured a few feet from the body so this practice is powerful. We visualised sitting in circle to emanate this healing to those in need. You are welcome to listen back if you would like to off...er some healing to those who have suffered or are suffering from birth trauma. Our energy is everything, take this time for an important cause.
11.01.2022 I was all set to take a nice photo this evening, and make a post on how we’ve managed to end this year on a high. Instead we had to pack everything up in a rush (after 1 night away), and make it back home before the borders close tomorrow! I will say the two days of chilled, peaceful vibes was enough for me to get the ball back rolling on my passions and motivations! I’d lost a bit of that this past month, so it’s really nice to have that energy back again .... Wishing everyone health, connection and fun in 2021, because if we’ve learned anything, we know that’s all that really matters
11.01.2022 It’s #internationalbabywearingweek so I felt obliged to share with you one of my favourite videos of all time. If ever you were looking for some positives to baby-wearing..... let this be it. Do you have any questions about baby wearing for when your baby arrives earth-side? Or do you have any questions now that they’re here?
11.01.2022 (This sounds a bit like an Oscar speech, but I don’t care!) I kind of feel like singing Happy Birthday today - Happy Birthday to my website It’s been a journey to get this website together, I’ve said it before but @kateyoungco, you have the patience of a saint! You also have the best eye for graphic design, I could never have created this. Also @steph for the branding photos, they mean the world to me. ... But the words, the offerings, the vision - that is all mine, and I am so bloody proud to have it all in one place so people can finally have a proper understanding of what it is I do and why I care so much! You can download free Pregnancy & Postpartum Meditations, learn a little more about my journey and see all the classes I have available in a beautiful calendar (It feels so good to say this!). Also, keep an eye out for a super exciting bonus offer to celebrate my new site! It will be announced over the next couple of days, I just couldn’t wait any longer to share www.louisemaguire.com
10.01.2022 Skimming to the beach on a Monday is definitely one of my top self-care strategies Learning what lights your soul and brings you joy/contentment is such an important aspect of birth preparation! There will be a big focus on this in my upcoming program so that you can enter the birth phase feeling like the aligned and abundant goddess that you are ...

10.01.2022 Here come the girls
09.01.2022 Yoga isn’t always about tight pants and feeling fit and energetic. It’s about meeting yourself where you’re at. Tuning deeply in to what your body needs on any given day. This is where the healing lies.....
09.01.2022 Thinking of these three men today on Fathers Day: Wilson (Alex’s Dad), it was your two year anniversary on Tuesday and we’re thinking of you a lot today too. We would’ve loved to hear your thoughts on the craziness of 2020. I’ll forever appreciate the Dad you were to Alex and getting to know you in your final years. Gerry (my own Dad), this has been the longest time I’ve gone without seeing you and it’s getting really hard not having a plan of when I’ll get home. Looking for...ward to hearing what songs you’ve added to your repertoire when I finally make it back! Alex, thank you for every little thing this year. You’ve helped to honour our little Alo in so many beautiful ways, and I couldn’t have done any of this without you. You’ve really shown me how wonderful you’ll be as a Dad when we have our little family . Happy Fathers Day to all the amazing Dads I know! And special love to those who are missing their Dads or missing being Dads today.
06.01.2022 Calling all friends who are self-employed/run their own business, or want to support small businesses! It's interesting to see the variety in our extended circles.
