25.01.2022 I just LOVED my day at the clinic yesterday. Building deep CONNECTIONS with beautiful, strong women...some on their journeys to conceive & others already nurturing new life in their wombs Making up these glorious herbs always reminds me to never underestimate the POWER of nature! In the birth space we honour this power every day. But when it comes to medicine, natural is often understood to be weaker or less effective. These herbs are mighty folks! Im constantly in awe ...of the amazing results I see in the clinic As a society, weve become so disconnected from the earth, from ourselves & from others. In the not too distant past, midwives, healers, herbalists & wise women were witch hunted & lost their lives. Many of us still carry this fear within us. I know I do... Even now, as a university trained Chinese Herbalist & Acupuncturist, there are so many rules about what I can & cant say in relation to what my medicine can treat. So as a modern day herbalist & healer, my life may no longer be at risk, but we still have a long way to go before we feel like were not constantly having to prove our WORTH. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine has been safely used by pregnant women for thousands of years now! But please never self prescribe. Always check in with your local practitioner to ensure the herbs you take are exactly what your body needs xoxo

25.01.2022 This has been life for the past 10 days! She wont let me put her down & I couldnt care at all. Babies are tiny for such a short time & well never get this time back. Plus this is forcing me to slow right down which is giving my body what it needs to heal. Natures perfect design #postpartumlife #newbornlove #youcantspoilababy

24.01.2022 Merry Christmas everyone! A huge thank you for all your support, especially to all my beautiful clients that have invited me into your lives this year. Its been a big one for all of us. Im so proud of you all! May 2019 be the year that many more dreams come true!

24.01.2022 Such a fun day sharing the Positive Birth Program today! I just love teaching couples who are connecting with the content, asking questions & sharing stories. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday at all And my first course at this beautiful new venue!

22.01.2022 How lucky I was to spend a whole day with Debra Pascali-Bonaro and a room full of fellow birth nerds yesterday at the Orgasmic Birth: The Best Kept Secret (fan page) workshop! A beautiful day of love, connection, birth stories & wisdom And thanks Melissa Melissa Ayling - Hypnobirthing Geraldton for our Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner group photo! The only photo I have of myself all day #sacredbirth #takebackyourpower #takebackbirth #birthmatters #knowledgeispower

22.01.2022 This Thursday!! Whos coming? Hope to see you there! #worldhypnobirthingday #hypnobirthing #findyourtribe #knowyouroptions #findyourvoice #pregnantinperth #postpartumsupport

21.01.2022 All set up ready to teach one of my lovely private couples today! I absolutely love sharing this program. Time away from my young family can be difficult, but being as lucky as I am to love my work as much as I do helps immensely. It is so important to me that time away from my family doesnt drain me further, but instead lights me up & makes me more fulfilled...and therefore, I feel, also makes me a better mother #hypnobirthingaustralia #childbirtheducation #knowledgeispower #followyourdreams #dowhatmakesyouhappy #balanceisthekey #parenthood #motherhood #positivebirthmovement

21.01.2022 2 years ago today...40+3 with my second baby boy. Already a week past the time my first babys labour had begun. These final days of pregnancy truly feel like an eternity! *** After feeling so positive & excited to birth my baby, the doubts started creeping in. I was planning a home birth with a private midwife...can I really do this without the gas I needed in my first labour? My bump was SO much bigger this time around & Id had at least 50 strangers comment on how I looked... ready to pop since 32 weeks!...am I crazy just waiting this pregnancy out until 42 weeks?! *** However, just like every time I met with my lovely midwife, she put my mind at ease. My baby & I were healthy, and she had complete trust in my body, my baby & birth itself. Finding the right care provider, who is aligned with your beliefs & preferences for birth, is so important *** So after saying goodbye to my midwife, I listened to the beautiful Hypnobirthing Australia Fear Release album, then headed to the beach with my husband & 2 year old boy. I surrendered to what ever will be, will be, and just focused on enjoying this sacred time. That night my husband & I went on a long over-due date night We hadnt laughed that much in SO long! It must have been just the oxytocin boost I needed as when I woke the next morning, my first gentle surges had begun. To be continued... #birthstory #homebirth #hypnobirthingaustralia #midwiferycare #continuityofcare #oxytocinvibes #letgo #surrender #trust #empoweredbirthproject #almostachristmasbaby

21.01.2022 Birth where YOU feel safest, & this is where your peak hormones will flow, assisting labour progress & bringing you more comfort Theres no right or wrong choice here, but understanding the birth process, labour hormones & the choices you have for care providers during pregnancy is key! #Repost @kpphotoinc ... 3am back labor. Ever wonder why it seems like women tend to go into labor during the wee hours of the morning? I'm intrigued by mother nature. We are still mammalian. In the wild, mothers birth their babies in the protective cover of darkness. When it is still and quiet. Like having pets growing up & waking up to a litter of babies under our beds?? I think about stuff like this. #animalplanet #childbirtheducator #hypnobirthingaustralia #doulasupport #birthphotography #birthwithoutfear #baby #mother #birthbecomesher #love #motherhoodrising #knowledgeispower #paintopleasure See more

19.01.2022 Beautiful reminder Words & #Repost @katie_newnham A note to the new mama You may not recognise your own body anymore, but you need to give it time.... Its possible youll still look pregnant weeks after birth, this is normal. Your belly button will look the way it used to, eventually. Your body may have made some permanent physical changes, embrace them. You may lose a lot of hair in the first few months, dont panic its a normal phase. Your hormones are adjusting themselves, there will be high, lows and probably tears. You may get the baby blues or postpartum depression, know that this is okay and ask for help and support, youre not alone. Your breastfeeding journey (if you do) may not be as easy as you expected, dont beat yourself up and it will take time. You may bleed for weeks after giving birth, like a big pain in the ass period. You need to increase you fiber intake... just trust us on this one! You may sweat a lot and feel like youre in a constant heat wave in the first few days, thank you hormones. You may have permanent scars on your body, these are simply reminders of how strong our amazing bodies are, learn to love them. . Motherhood changes us, physically, mentally and emotionally. Some of these changes permanent, most temporary, remember youre not alone. Welcome to the club mama, we got you . Fellow mamas - if I havent listed it here, let a new mama know something See more

19.01.2022 Thanks Melissa! This is a great article for anyone not quite sure what Hypnobirthing is all about.

17.01.2022 Baby Brooks #3 due to join us in August 2020! This pregnancy has already challenged me in so many ways. Ive been dreaming of this baby & feeling the call of their soul for years, but my husband took a lot longer to come around to the idea. Now that baby is growing happily in my womb, it all feels too good to be true. Ive really found it hard to believe baby is actually on his/her way. Pregnancy is often a time of going within, an inner journey if we allow it to be. This c...ould not be more true for me & Ive struggled more than ever to show up here on social media. Throw in the upheaval of this pandemic, which has meant Ive had to step away from my face to face TCM consults to stay home full time with my 3 & 5 year old boys and this mumma-to-be has hit overwhelm more days than not! But I also have no doubt that these feelings that Im being confronted with are absolutely necessary. As we prepare to welcome a new life, we must make room for the changes that are coming. The intention I set for 2020 was SURRENDER & TRUST And I feel this will keep showing up for me until I learn the lessons baby has come here to teach me! Thinking of everyone navigating pregnancy at this uncertain time. You are all stronger than you know & your babies have chosen this time for a reason

17.01.2022 The Golden Hour Uninterrupted, skin to skin bonding time for mum & baby for the first hour immediately after birth can: Optimise Oxytocin levels in the mothers blood stream which can protect her from excessive bleeding post birth by helping blood vessels to constrict and the placenta to detach... Help establish breastfeeding Assist baby in regulating their body temperature, respiration & blood glucose levels Naturally kick start babys immune system by exposure to mums bacteria Promote parent-baby attachment & bonding When baby is well, there should be no reason that all non-urgent weighing, measuring, injections & tests etc cant wait until after the golden hour & until the first breastfeed is established Remember to talk to your care providers about your wishes before baby is born in case your hospital still routinely takes baby away after birth to be cleaned, wrapped & checked over. Most of these initial checks can be performed with baby on your chest if you prefer And if for any reason, the golden hour is not possible for mum...birth partners can have this uninterrupted skin to skin bonding time with baby immediately after birth instead! #Repost @gentlebirthofficial How gorgeous is the oxytocin gaze between mom and baby.

09.01.2022 With my husband away on a work trip this week, this is a timely reminder! I have a rare morning to myself tomorrow & had planned to spend it studying. But I also have a massage voucher, that one of my beautiful clients gifted me back in July...its kind of a no-brainer isnt it! I hope they have a free appointment! #Repost @the_angela_gallo I could be this dude. He could be my ex-husband, too. He could be you. Hes on my level. Lets keep this conversation goi...ng. . #postpartummentalhealth . My wife urged me to take this little trip to New York so that I can clear my head. Its just for two days. But my leash has been so short lately that it feels like an eternity. Part of me definitely died when our daughter was born. I was always a free spirited person. I traveled a lot. I never had a boss. I had all the choices in the world. But a lot of that disappeared in order to make things possible for my daughter. I watch her during the day. And Im not mad about it. This is the happiest time of my life. It would be great if my daughter was here right now. Itd be so fun to watch her run around the park. But Id also be worried about her safety. And the diaper bag. And the car seat. And the stroller. And our next meal. And our next place to stay. Theres always a flickering flame of worry that doesnt go away. Back home we live by the beach. And if my wife ever senses that Im getting overwhelmed, she tells me to go jump in the ocean. And that resets me for a few days. Its all I need. I just need a little space to be me. Because it can be so easy to get lost in helping a new person become someone. #selfcare #selflove #fillyourcup #mummyneedsabreak

09.01.2022 A Homebirth story It was a beautiful surprise to wake up that day, at 40+4, to feel a gentle tightness rolling up through my body like a wave. From that first surge at 7am, they came every 5 minutes all day. Lasting 30-40 seconds, the surges never really intensified during this time. I absolutely loved this part of my labour. My 2 year old son was at daycare & would be sleeping over at my parents house that night, & my husband was at home as he was already on leave. I had...Continue reading

05.01.2022 Ive been very quiet on here lately. After supporting both my dear friend & beautiful sister as they welcomed their darling baby boys earthside in November, I really owed it to myself, my hubby & my own two little loves to take this time for us. Life is such a fine balance isnt it! My biggest struggle this year, is that Ive often felt pulled in two directions. My soul urging me to dive deep into the birth world, but my young family still needing me so much of the time. ... So here we are!
