24.01.2022 And this is why we need to rethink postpartum care. I don’t think many new mums realise the difference between pre and postnatal care but yep, we go from at least 14 visits to our medical caregivers to 1-2 visits. The postpartum period is not just about physical recovery but is a fragile and tender time to look after the emotional and psychological needs of mama. The baffling thing is it’s not really a time that many consider preparing for and even more concerning is pregnant women don’t get a lot of information and resources telling what to expect. Did you feel prepared for motherhood? Repost @mommysbundle #postpartum #motherlife #bellamama
23.01.2022 Growing our food isn’t just a thing we do but for us is a lifestyle that connects us back to where our food comes from...a deep appreciation for our earth...I love exploring the connection motherhood has with nature, and growing our food.. we learn by doing, we make mistakes, we have some wins and losses but most of all the plants are so forgiving, we do the best we can to nurture them and protect them and with that we are rewarded with a harvest, and it doesn’t matter if it’s big or small because the joy we get when we receive it makes our hearts smile Every breath is a sacrament, an affirmation of our connection with all living things, a renewal of our link with our ancestors and a contribution to generations to come. - David Suzuki #earthmama #bellamama #gardenisbestplayground #babiesindirt
22.01.2022 Birth Work, Birth Ready classes are coming soon!! This coming August/September I will be offering the most empowering classes to get your body fit and ready for birth!!! What is the secret? Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga!! My birth work, birth ready classes are more than just exercise! They combine my skills as a postpartum doula, hypnobirthing practitioner and yoga teacher. Using the tools of Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga, these classes will give you the following benefits:... Benefits: You will learn how to connect with your breath. Connecting your mind and body to breath is an important way to activate your para-sympathetic nervous system which not only lowers your stress levels, but actually promotes the hormones that make pregnancy more enjoyable, birth less painful and breastfeeding less stressful! You will learn the practice of staying present helping to not only increase pain tolerance in labour and birth, but also helping you get in touch with your body and listening to its needs. This skill is important for birth and postnatally as well. You will do poses and practices that help optimise baby's position. We will do movement that balances the muscles, ligaments and connective tissues in the pelvis and abdominal areas. This increases likelihood that baby will be in the good position for birth or be able to move into a good position more easily for birth. A balanced body also helps to reduce the chance of medical interventions including c-sections. Regularly attending these classes will make your pregnancy more comfortable. Around 70% of women have some form of back pain and ache during pregnancy and doing yoga helps decrease discomfort and increase the enjoyment of your pregnant body. A committed yoga practice prenatally promotes an easier recovery from pregnancy and childbirth. Women who practice yoga in pregnancy can come back to yoga afterwards easier.

21.01.2022 My Bella Girl, we sit here at the Royal Children’s waiting for the burns specialists to call us in. She’s been very brave and full of high spirits, it’s got me thinking that when we don’t think about pain, we don’t feel pain. Much of the pain we feel as adults is because of the stories we have accumulated over our life, and as Bella’s life is just beginning, all she sees and feels is excitement and opportunity. #bella #mybella #babywithaburn

11.01.2022 Postpartum is the most overlooked trimester of the child bearing cycle. Known at the golden month in so many of the world traditional cultures, the first 40 days are a time for mother to rest and digest to recover from her marathon event of birth and growing baby, to create space for processing her transition to motherhood. A new mother needs to be treated like a queen, she needs to be cared for just as much as her newborn because when a baby is born so is a mother, #thisismatrescence #bellamama #letschangethewaywecareformums

I feel so blessed to have made this work for us, it’s been a peaceful and nourishing journey, and we are still travelling on it... with no immediate end in sight #mothernature #soproudwegotit #feelinggood #honouringmyboobstoday

09.01.2022 I had the absolute pleasure of working with this beautiful soul and her gorgeous family. I am so excited to share her empowering birth story. Zoe, you birthed like a superstar, warrior, and goddess - may your story give inspiration and hope to all the mama's to be. ******************************** The Birth of Bodhi ... Here is Zoe's story... I started feeling contractions around 2.30pm and of course called you for reassurance and support. My mother was home to help take care of Arlo and provide me with loving support. I spent most of the time relaxing on a ball near the open fireplace, with relaxing music and aromatherapy. There was lots of loving touch and support until around midnight when we decided we needed to leave home for hospital. I found myself on a beautiful position with my birth ball, warm shower on my back and my hypnobirthing tracks on repeat. I did this for 6 hours uninterrupted mostly. Then afterwards the surges became deeper into transitioning, and I moved from the ball onto all fours. Unfortunately, Bodhi was stuck behind his membranes and after a fair amount of bearing down I was given the option to have them ruptured to get his birthing underway. There were a few things I wondered whether I choose right, yet all in all it was a short, drug free and empowered birth. It was bloody intense and there moments were I really felt like I was going to become taken over by the intensity of it all when it all became too much. I had a bit of gas right at the end for the final bearing down. No episiotomies yet a mild tear. The midwives were amazing, and the doctor was very supportive of all our birth preferences and informed consent was given the whole way. #childbirth #hypnobirthing #positivebirth #empoweredbirth #antenataleducation #informedconsent #baby #pregnancy #midwife #mansfield #highcountry See more

01.01.2022 Prana Harvest Farm... the next adventure for Bella Mama... we are mother, and yes Mother Nature is one too. Growing food is a very grounding and wholesome part of my life. I love that what we don’t eat just ends up as the beautiful soil that in turns feeds our compost that then nourishes our plants, that we nurture and care for and when it’s time to pick we cook, eat and the cycle begins once again.. #watchthisspace #community #mothernature #mamamebella
