23.01.2022 The movement of autumn where the downward energy consumes our environment. Leaves falling from trees, changes in temperature and slow cooked meals take pride on the kitchen table. The downward energy changes flavours to more dense foods, like slow cooked root vegetables, soups, baked foods. Apples and pears stewed or baked are great for the immune system during the changes, nourishing our bodies as we move into winter. Warm liquids can be consumed, moving away from cold f...luids. Green tea, chai, to build and warm the body. Acupuncture can be used for aiding with immune boosting, staying away from the cold and flu season. Add herbs as daily tonics and you have the perfect remedy for staying healthy. With cooler temperatures you should carry a scarf, jumper as the change can fluctuate quickly.

23.01.2022 Morning reflection welcoming in a new day. Feeling grateful to the people who make me happy; they are the charming gardeners who make my life blossom.

23.01.2022 Summertime smoothie.. What’s your favourite smoothie? This is an easy smoothie to make that replenishes the body, has a avocado for brain food and is an overall easy way to replenish energy and fuel your body. Eating plant based Monday to Friday feels clean and cleanses the body . Give it a go. ...

Simply add - 1 scoop HQ Daily Vitality 1/2 avocado 1/2 cup spinach leaves 1 teaspoon organic ginger powder 1/2 lemon juiced 1 cup of filtered water Blend in a high speed blender until smooth.

22.01.2022 A Blessingway is a woman-centered celebration of the journey into motherhood. It is different from a baby shower in that it focuses on the femininity and power that comes through pregnancy and giving birth. The blessingway is often segmented into several ceremonies that have been adapted from the traditional Navajo’s sacred fertility rites. These ceremonies bring the women in attendance together through sharing blessings or poems for the mother, singing or chanting, and s...ymbolic rites such as smudging the space with burnt herbs. There is a yarn ceremony where everyone is connected to the mother through yarn and then the yarn bracelet is worn until the baby is born, and a bead ceremony where every woman brings a bead that is strung together into a necklace or bracelet to remind the mother of all of her power and strength during labor and birth. Blessingways are similar to baby showers in that they celebrate the pregnancy and the growth of a family but they are different in several ways. Baby showers tend to have a focus on lighthearted fun, jokes, and many, many gifts for babies. In comparison, blessingways focus more on the strength of the mother and celebrate her new phase in life. There is an emphasis on the bond between the various women in her life and the importance of their support as she moves towards the birth and the postpartum period. Blessingways are a time to share positive and uplifting words of support and encouragement. It is a time to welcome the power and strength that is already intrinsic in women’s bodies, and to shower the mother with love and support. See more

21.01.2022 Childhood, have you thought about the journey of a child? To an infant everything is new and alive. The Spirit is free from harassment, the infant lives moment to moment, untainted by the acquired influence of conditioning. When hungry they eat, when tired they sleep. In their first year of growth they face challenges of cultivating their immunity from illness and developing a strong digestive system transforming what they eat and drink into energy. ... For parents this can be a struggle , along with the infant. The processing mechanism of the infant is immature , maybe prone to poor digestion , resulting in food stagnation. This disrupts their Spirit, leading to inconsistent sleep and eating patterns, causing unhappiness. By the time their teeth have come through and the gums settle , parents can be well and truly exhausted. This can cause anxiety for all involved. Seek help for your child and for yourself. A gentle way is to have non-invasive acupuncture, known as Shonishin. A Japanese technique that does not penetrate the skin. Parents are welcome to have acupuncture too. It can be great for the whole family. Cute pic from @daniellazogogiannis

20.01.2022 It’s in the eye of the beholder! Always remember if you don’t have a plan, you fit into someone else’s plan . What are your plans for your future? Do you wake every morning inviting in what the future holds. What is the thought you hold about your future? What is the emotion that goes with that thought? Having the feeling of being present in that feeling memory is the driving force to the future you desire. ... When you share your plans, they become your reality. This plan allows others to see your future, helping you, guiding you and sitting beside you every step of the way. Enjoy all the possibilities of what the future can hold. With knowledge comes confidence! Allow those around you to be confident in helping you achieve your desired goal. @calmbirth

19.01.2022 What does sleeping on your left side do for your body? We all sleep on different sides which can effect different parts of our body. Have you thought about your health or how your position can effect you and your baby while pregnant. Does the position of how you lay change these things? Sleeping on your right side changes how the heart works with pumping blood, sleeping on your right side places pressure against your blood vessels, changing blood circulation. ... If your pregnant you are advised not to sleep on your back from around week 20. The uterus expands and can place pressure on the inferior vena cava. This is the vein that returns blood from the lower body to your heart, the pressure may reduce blood flow to you and your baby. This can result in feeling lightheaded. Laying on your left side increases circulation and therefore more blood flow to baby. Changing how you sleep may alleviate symptoms that prevent you from having a good sleep and feeling rejuvenated on waking. Perhaps extra pillows will help support your body, allowing for greater comfort. Perhaps your breathing is the cause of your poor sleep? Chronic health conditions or poor breathing habits can change your sleep pattern and leave you feeling unwell or exhausted, some have issues with poor memory or lack of energy due to poor sleep. If your one of those people who would like a better nights sleep try Buteyko breathing, it is a simple holistic method that requires no machines, just breath training, that creates a habit with correct breathing techniques to move through any sleep issues you may have. For more information look at our website.

19.01.2022 This is what a day off feels like, barefoot and fancy free.

19.01.2022 A little ray of sunshine coming into my world in the shape of a girl! People fondly ask do you think the shape of my belly dictates if it is a boy or a girl? My general response is every woman’s body is different, her baby and her journey through each pregnancy labour and birth are individual. It is important that each mother understands it is her story and she does not need to compare with anyone else. Comparison is the thief of joy! ... Enjoy the wonderful journey of pregnancy, stay in the moment, not moving to the end wishing it away, wanting baby to come in earlier. Remember that baby has no calendar and does not know it has an expected due date. What will be will be! Enjoy, adore and be present in this beautiful time in your life. Nourish, love and cherish each moment of your pregnancy.

18.01.2022 Do you breathe your baby or push ? What do you think? Each woman has her own experience and with each baby she births it will change. ... Remember your birth is your story and no one else’s. Comparison is the thief of joy! Your body, your baby, your journey.

18.01.2022 Waking up to a bed side that feels calm and welcomes in the new day. A calm bedroom brings in a calm day. When you’re world is cluttered so is your mind. Remove the things that are not necessary, that have no purpose or no feeling memory. ... Placing things on your bedside that are gentle reminders of fun times, memories that fill your heart. Less clutter clears the mind and opens the heart

17.01.2022 Happy Lunar New Year Welcoming the Chinese New Year of the Water Tiger

17.01.2022 The Fourth Trimester! Right by your side, hold me close. Skin to skin, closeness, warmth, love

16.01.2022 Love letters engraved in the rock in our back yard. A sweet reminder from my husband Andy

15.01.2022 When you put your mind to it anything is capable. Getting back into having a multimodality clinic in Balmain. Working with great people to make it all happen. The vision, the fit out and the practitioners are going to make this place amazing.

15.01.2022 Breathe in all life has to offer. With each breath, inhale, lightly deeply and slowly. Allow the energy to filtrate through your body. Exhale, lightly, slowly and expand the breath to be greater than the inhale. ... Drop yourself into your parasympathetic nervous system response. The growth and repair response. Feel the body become heavier with each exhale. Repeat for 10 more breaths. Enjoy tapping into your mindbody.

14.01.2022 Summertime vibes. Chasing the sun. A little ray of sunshine, the colour yellow to brighten the day. ... Summer holidays by the beach are the best. Cute pic @ceciliaphotographie

14.01.2022 When life takes your breath away! They can be happy moments or sad moments. A daily reminder to be grateful for each and every day. Stay present, breathe and smile from within.

14.01.2022 A very sad day for us all yesterday, after spending many months on getting the new clinic ready to open next week we lost most of it yesterday due to the fire down stairs at Angel Aromatics. A big thank you to the amazing firefighters and the two men that were hurt we send our endearing thanks and well wishes. So it’s back to the drawing board with open hearts and mind to re-evaluate what is next for us and the clinic. ... The wonderful community of Balmain has been a great support and thanks to everyone who checked in with us. Many tears have been shed, however, we know that it’s just another hoop to jump through and everyone concerned is ok

12.01.2022 Enjoying the beauty of nature .

11.01.2022 With gratitude, and a warm smile this year in clinic is coming to an end. There have been many magic moments shared with many beautiful people. And I thank you all for the year that has been. My last day in clinic is the Tuesday 22nd December. My return into clinic is Thursday 14th January. ... Calmbirth classes resume on 16th January. Both group and private classes. With love and kindness . Mel x

11.01.2022 What is best for your care provider may not be best for your baby. Is it convenient that you birth on your back, easier access for your care provider or is it a necessity? What positions have you thought you would like to labour and birth in? ... Have you asked your care provider how they like to deliver a baby? If you wish to birth in the water ensure before selecting your place of birth and care provider that they can follow your wishes. Ask how often they deliver babies in the water. Ask how often babies are delivered on the bed. Remember how you envisage your self birthing, welcoming your baby into the world is important. Ensuring your care team is on the same page as you is vital. Preparation is key, with knowledge comes confidence. Feel confident with your body, baby and care team. @calmbirth

10.01.2022 Are your beliefs being reinforced or challenged? Do you hear stories that are not yours from wounded people, who are looking for answers to their healing? Your beliefs from the past, the things you believed as a child. As you grew some briefs were challenged, some were reinforced, either by other people or new experiences. ... When those beliefs were challenged, new beliefs formed. And when those beliefs were reinforced, they became deeper and more strongly rooted. How can you change your beliefs? By connecting with your subconscious mind and making changes on a deeper level. Beliefs shift and old programming is broken down quickly, when the conscious mind is not interfering. Learning to create your own story, not that of someone else’s experience. This is your story, your body and your beliefs. Learn tools to shift past beliefs, past learnings, create a new belief. When you understand your subconscious motivation, it is easy to turn it all around by reprogramming that one belief. By eliminating that belief it creates a domino effect of your life. In just a few weeks you feel different, your life feels different. Learning to connect with the subconscious mind allows you to deal with the root cause. Removing past beliefs. It’s life changing!

10.01.2022 Thrush is more common than most people realise . Known as bacterial vaginosis, or inflammation due to the overgrowth of the bacteria naturally found in the vagina. It can be due to stress, a high sugar diet, gut issues, alcohol consumption, or wearing synthetic materials, chemicals, fragrances, that can change the pH levels in the vagina. ... Some find after a course of antibiotics thrush occurs. Thrush can go and then return, this can happen after exposure to semen or saliva, as it is transmitted back and forth from one partner to another. A change of diet, a good probiotic (available in the clinic), allows for restoring the gut, and aids with strengthening the spleen. Eating fermented foods to allow for the growth of good bacteria within the gut. Reduce all sugar intake to support your body in healing. Make thrush a thing of the past with healthy choices within and out of your body.

10.01.2022 My little ray of sunshine. My happy place. When your days are filled with abundance, warmth and beautiful people it certainly makes long days in clinic flow. Happiness, harmony and good health, the motto for 2021. There are so many wonderful things to celebrate from 2020, family friends and fabulous clients. ... This year has been a year of growth in both business and my personal life. They say change is the only constant we have in life, and when you get to steer the ship, rather than drift in unknown waters it certainly makes a difference to the destination. I’m looking forward to riding the waves of the year that is ahead, going with the ebb and flow of life.

09.01.2022 Love... What does it mean to you?

08.01.2022 All we need is love Pic from. @lucy._in._the._sky

08.01.2022 When we decided to expand and create a beautiful space to share I wasn’t sure how it would unfold. This morning after stepping into what looks like a messy building sight, the picture is becoming clearer. It won’t be long before we can share our new clinic and studio space for all to enjoy in Balmain.

06.01.2022 And Boom Finally jumping for joy as the builder is back from holidays and we will be on the tools tomorrow. After all planning, preparation and last minute design change yesterday it’s getting real! ... I’m gathering a team of practitioners who will be part of this great collective with considerable thought, knowing they have a passion for making a change in the future of women’s health and wellbeing. It’s going to be a one stop shop!

05.01.2022 Accumulation The mind accumulates, it is a bottomless pit. What it accumulates is the yardstick by which its freedom or slavery is measured. ... If the mind is full of garbage, hopes, dreams, projections, ideals, convictions or illusions the body will mirror the image. The mind clings, having a accumulated, one doesn’t want to let go. Unhappy, one wants satisfaction. Digesting life, what ever is consumed must be discharged. Letting go of what we have accumulated, life is fluid, to be fluid is to let go of all we have accumulated.

05.01.2022 Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas

05.01.2022 Bedroom bliss, the perfect space to read and relax. A time to slow, rejuvenate and restore your mind body.

05.01.2022 Clarity, calm, lightness, energised and healthy all all the words that come to mind after no alcohol for 11 months. There have been times when I could have picked up a drink, when it feels like your on the outside as everyone else is drinking and encouraging you to follow suite. However, this year has bought many challenges, many fun times and most of all the clarity to connect with who I am and where I’m heading. ... We numb the senses with alcohol, use it to unwind or perhaps get wound up. Either way it changes how our brain works, our emotions, hormones and relationships. Making the decision seemed the right thing to do, it was hard in the first few weeks, but now it just feels right. You don’t need that drink to settle the nerves, feel socially accepted or to get yourself to sleep at night. All you need is self love. It helps to have people around you who support you when you decide enough is enough. And that sitting in your own skin is easier than wanting to be somewhere or someone else. Be proud of who you are, be happy with who you are, don’t dull the senses, step into life and feel all it has to offer. I was never the person who needed to drink daily, or even weekly, it was the binge drinking that made me realise life had more to offer than hangovers and wasted days on the couch. Enjoy yourself on the journey we call life, whatever it maybe, be kind to yourself and have self love x

04.01.2022 This Chinese New Year, we welcome the Yang - Water Tiger On February 2nd, we celebrate the Lunar New Year. The Yang Water Tiger is a year that brings flexibility, mental agility, creativity & intelligence. It is the year of achievements, overcoming challenges, determination & looking straight ahead In Chinese medicine, a circle of five elements - wood, fire, earth, metal & water - create a 60-year cycle. The Yang-Water Tiger has not happened for the last 60 years & Yang W...ater is connected to flowing water & rivers The Tiger is a symbol of power, prestigiousness & loneliness. The Tiger does not get along with many animals; they roam, roar & like to be free. They are not frightened of competition, are unique & free thinking; no one can compete with the Tiger As the Tiger is paired with the water element, knowing water can be calm, quiet & reserved may be the emotional side of the Tiger. If you have a baby within the Year of the Tiger, they will be charming, brave, self-confident, competitive & have willpower & strength #chinesenewyear #cny #chinesenewyear2022 #cny22 #lunarnewyear #lunarnewyear2022 #lny #happychinesenewyear #chinesenewyearcelebration

04.01.2022 Have you thought about how things in life can change so suddenly? What was your tipping point? Little changes can somehow have big effects. Communication is how to make that change flow. Simply communicating your thoughts, feelings and vision. Without communication, acknowledgement, preparation there may be no change. ... Are you aware of what your tipping point may be? Do you know how to deal with the effect this tipping point may have? Transition in labour is what I consider to be a big tipping point. The rapid change, the sudden sensations of labour that can feel like your reaching your tipping point, and want out. At the tipping point communication is essential from your care providers, support team and partner. It can be where the unexpected must be expected! Communicate with your care providers on how to get you through what may feel like an intense part of your labour, your tipping point. An effective tool is the Calmbreath, a wonderful breath technique to help you through your tipping point. @calmbirth

01.01.2022 Rice Congee, is a delicious, easily digestible dish that nourishes the body and is good for the soul. In Traditional Chinese medicine a congee is known as a jook. It is a slow cooked porridge commonly eaten for breakfast. ... A wonderful food for the young and elderly or those recovering from birth or illness. A simple form of porridge made with rice rather than oats. This is one of the best congee’s served in Sydney, Brian @threeronin makes the best. I have travelled for several years to different cafes where Brian has worked just for his congee. After long days teaching and in clinic it is my go to for breakfast when eating out.

27.11.2021 Face reading Babies are born with the ability to see about around 20-30cm away from the face, which, when held in their mother’s arms, is the perfect position to read her expressions Babies would rather look at faces than any other picture. We are wired to read faces & do it without realising. We look for changes in expression that can indicate a change in mood ... Face reading is a primal & universal language. This is why communication can be accomplished in foreign countries even when people don’t speak the same language; they are reading expressions & faces : @fotografie_eweliny

24.10.2021 When we hear a story, or tell a story, we spark connection That's how we have communicated from the beginning of time - by story telling. When I first met Peter Jackson, the Founder of @calmbirth , I was truly amazed by his incredible story telling. He weaved me in his web through story, imagination & energy. ... And this is how I begun my interest in Calmbirth, knowing how to share your story & pass it on for others to share. Stories are central to cognition & communication. We are drawn to stories as we see ourselves reflected in them. We inevitably interpret the meaning in stories & understand ourselves better & the environment in which we surround ourselves .

02.10.2021 Creating a mental health plan before birth We tend to think that labour & birth are the number one priority for when having a baby. The reality can be very different to what you thought life was going to be like on the other side, when your baby is in your arms.... This can occur at any time postpartum, days, weeks, months & even years. The adjustment can be overwhelming. In clinic we talk about the importance of having support emotionally, physically & spiritually. The importance of mental health is one of the key elements that can be over looked. It is important to plan ahead, know, understand & feel comfortable with preparing for the now & the future. If you feel overwhelmed, are struggling, have anxiety or depression, reach out. The postpartum shift is real, find support, talk about the change. Hormonal changes, feeling sleep deprived or just missing the old you, the time & the freedom to just be. It is normal to get help, even though you think you can do it on your own. We see women and families in clinic providing support to move through what can be a vulnerable time. Mother warming, resetting, rebuilding & recovering. A treatment that combines acupuncture & moxibustion to replenish & heal the body. Massage to remove soreness, tired aching bones, sore shoulders & postural discomfort. We also collaborate with other care providers to ensure you have the care team to support your needs Book in via the link in bio so we can assist putting that mental health plan in place for you before birth : @thedreambirthcompany #melindawebb #melwebb #womenshealth #calmbirth #doula #care #acupuncture #acupressure #breathwork #buteyko #motherhood #pregnancy #childbirth #mentalhealth
