23.01.2022 BENEFITS OF A DOULA How can I be a benefit to you? Because I've been you, I am you, I'm still you. #doulalife #doulasupport #doulabenefits #iamyou #labourandbirthsupport #pregnancysupport #postnatalsupport #sayyestosupport #doulaservices #doulasofinstagram #hereforyou #brisbanebusinesswomen

22.01.2022 I've just been delivered another Parenting by Heart book to gift to a lovely Doula client and their partner when we have our first pre natal session in a few weeks time. I just can not recommend this book highly enough It helps encourage new parents during pregnancy and for once baby arrives. To help give them confidence in knowing that they need to do what is right for their baby and their family. #Repost @pinkymckay1 with @get_repost... Bringing a new baby home can be one of the most intimidating experiences of our lives and can fill us with self-doubt. In order to nurture our child, we must maintain our own sense of worth. Bonding with our baby and learning to trust our maternal/paternal instincts is vital. To read more have a look at my book Parenting By Heart.

22.01.2022 The greatest birth and home (manger) birth of all time. He was born in the humblest of settings, yet Heaven above was filled with the songs of angels. His birthplace was a cattle shed, yet a star brought the rich and noble from thousands of kilometres away to worship Him. His birth was contrary to the laws of life and His death was contrary to the laws of death, yet no miracle is greater than His birth, His life, His death, His resurrection and His teachings. He had no wheatf...ields or fisheries, yet He spread a table for 5,000 and had bread and fish to spare. He never stood on expensive carpeting, yet He walked on the waters and they supported Him. His crucifixion was the crime of crimes, yet from God’s perspective no less a price could have made possible our redemption. When He died, few mourned His passing, yet God hung a black cape over the sun. Those who crucified Him did not tremble at what they’d done, yet the earth shook under them. Sin never touched Him. Corruption could not get hold of His body. The soil that was reddened with His blood could not claim His dust. For over three years He preached the Gospel. He wrote no book, He had no headquarters and He built no organisation. Yet two thousand years later He’s the central figure of human history, the perpetual theme of all preaching, the pivot around which the ages revolve, and the only redeemer of the human race. At this season of celebration and gift-giving, let’s join the wise men who ‘fell down and worshipped Him.’ Let’s remember, Christmas is aboutChrist! ‘They saw the young child with Mary His mother and fell down, and worshipped Him.’ Matthew 2:11 KJV #homebirth #jesusisthereasonfortheseason #naturalbirth #freebirth #naturalbirth #thepromisedsaviour #miraclous #princeofpeace #wonderfulcounselor #everlastingfather #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths

21.01.2022 There are so many 'rules' about being a good mum, its enough to send your anxiety levels soaring. If you are breastfeeding there are even more rules. And, b...ecause these rules are about feeding your baby and actually making him grow and stay alive, is it any wonder you feel anxious? Take heart: the first rule of mothering is dont let anybody should on you. This is your baby and your body and just as you are figuring out this whole new mother business, you and your baby will work out breastfeeding together. You may need a little help and please don't wait until you are really worried before you reach out. There is practical help and advice out there from lactation consultants and trained breastfeeding counsellors who will encourage and support you if the going gets tough. https://www.boobiebikkies.com.au//breastfeed-things-not-to

21.01.2022 So true. Let mothers be mothers in those early times. My motto is 'keep her fed and watered' so all that she has to concentrate on is metamorphosing into the new person she is becoming. A mother

21.01.2022 A true hands on Dad! Helping to deliver his own baby. Gone are the days where the fathers were delegated to the waiting room at the hospital, cigars sitting in their top pockets. Pacing up and down, waiting to hear if their wife gave birth to a boy or a girl. Then they would go celebrating with their mates down at the pub while the (usually traumatised) wife recovers by herself. We have thankfully come a long way. Now as you can see, fathers are very present and hands on at t...he birth of their own babies. This is such a wonderful occurrence. To have both parents actively working together to bring their babies earth side is a real blessing. With this huge contrast of then and now, we have gone from expecting nothing of fathers to now expecting them to know how to support their partner and be and do everything for her on their birthing day. While it is such a privilege for families to be truly part of the birth journey together a great disservice has occurred to them. Fathers know their partners well, but they generally dont often know about birth itself. This then can leave the dad anxious and worried that he is going to be doing the right thing on the day. He will have his own perceptions of what birth will be like from movies, media, family and his mates which mainly will all be negative. All this adds up to one great big worry for dad. While he is being supportive to his birthing partner, who is going to support him? Doulas are not just for mothers. We are for families! Having a Birth Doula to support both the mother and the father (or whoever your partner may be), allows the birth experience to be an experience. Meaning leading up to the birth, discussions on what birth is, supportive measures practiced, fears discussed, and anxiety abates as the more informative you become on birth the less scary it becomes. Because it isnt scary. Its normal. Finally, on the day of birth Doulas are there for both the mother and their partner. We fit in to the pair unobtrusively to give support in the way you both need it. Leaving you to truly experience the wonders of birth. Thank you to this adorable husband and wife team for allowing me to be a part of your birth See more

20.01.2022 A doula is someone who knows you and who knows birth, who will not tell you what to do, but who will help you work it out for yourself. Someone who believes in you and won't flinch at picking up your stained underwear from the floor. She will answer the phone when you call at 4 a.m., the sound of a newborn wailing in the background, and she will listen without judgment as you say you are worried you made a terrible mistake with this whole motherhood thing. With her support, you will know this feeling is normal and that it will pass.

20.01.2022 World Breastfeeding Week 1st - 7th August 2020 Here I am of what would be approximately 10 years 10 months ago, feeding William aged 2 months. With a 3.5 yr old daughter to keep entertained you do what ya gotta do! If it involves having your face painted by your child then so be it However far along you achieved in you breastfeeding journey, a big congratulations to you. It's easy and not easy at the same time to breastfeed. It differs between each an every family and eve...n every child. Whilst I breastfed Emily for 19 months I went 4.5 years of feeding with William. There is much support available to assist you if this is what you decide. Check your local breastfeeding association as they have great support groups and wonderful consultants. Keep up the good work mummas #worldbreastfeedingweek2020 #australianbreastfeedingassociation #breastfeedingjourney #lactationconsultant #babiesbirthandbreastfeeding #brisbanemumsandbubs #breastfeedingaustralia #thingsyoudoforlove #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths

20.01.2022 In Australia tomorrow, Sunday 1st September it is Fathers Day. For many it wont be a Happy Fathers Day and therefore this is a post to celebrate the mighty fine people that you are and have become in the absence of your own father. What someone decides to be for you in your life is no bearing on you and who you are. It is their choice, their inadequacies, their hang-ups, their own problems, their issues. None of it is to do with you at all. So please do not let someone els...es choice define who you are and who you will be. For all the children out there, who grew up without a father (this is me as a result of an affair), or who are now growing up without a father as he literally took himself away from this world (as my two children are now living). For the children with physically present but emotionally absent fathers, for the children that have fathers only when it suits them and fits into their schedule, for the children with fathers who now have a new family and new children, for the children with fathers that are good time dads only and cant be relied upon for the tough times. For all of us that dont have a dad or the dad that we need. Get support! Its a tough time for some this year and my heart goes out to you all. Keep your loved ones close to you. Rally support around you. If you are unable to do it yourself, ask someone to help you gather the people you need. We all need support and more so for days like this. Here are my two a few years back when I never would have thought they would be living in a world that would do something like this to them. Where one of the people that is to love them the most in the world chose not to love them enough to stay in it. Im forever thankful that I opened my eyes and pushed aside my ignorance to discover a Father that was waiting for me, that I can always rely on. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

18.01.2022 Go with your heart mummas. If it feels weird to have your baby sleep in another room with only a baby monitor to observe bubs by, then go with your gut. It's biological to want to stay connected to your babies. It's ok to change your mind with how you thought you would parent or with how society expects you to parent. Do what is best for bub which ultimately is best for the family #fourthtrimester #babylove #mummaslove #givinglove #babysupport #mummalove #doulasupport

18.01.2022 It was my sons 11th birthday this week. Out of respect for him he has asked (demanded) that no photos of him be posted again of him. Whether for business on here or for personal on FB. So we now have a photo of his birthday cake (chocolate fudge brownie) that I made him! To celebrate that it's been 11 years since I had the most amazing experience of my life!!! Giving birth to my daughter (14 years ago) set me on the path of all things birth, babies, breastfeeding and beyon...d. Then giving birth to my boy has been ultimately what has made me want to become a Doula. To have such a wonderful experience and not let mothers know that it can be that way (with knowledge and support) would be amiss of me. I may of not had any more babies of my own but I'm lucky enough that I can support families and see bubbas enter into this world.

16.01.2022 I still remember bringing my first baby home from the hospital and putting her in a cot in her own room and having a baby monitor listening out for her that first night. I remember sitting in the lounge room feeling so weird (and no it wasn't the hormones talking lol) and feeling that what I was doing wasn't right. But years of social conditioning and expectations had me believing this was how it was meant to be done. We need to educate parents that the mind set they think t...hey should have can and should be changed. For the sakes of families staying whole psychologically an emotionally. I believe a lot of post partum depression (not the hormonal imbalance post-partum) is based on unrealistic expectations we have on babies and their needs. We are putting pressure on ourselves to go against what is biologically normal and then wonder why everything seems wrong and horrible? It's wrong and horrible and depressing because we are going against our instincts and don't understand why we are having the feelings we have. In a nutshell. Hold them close, keep them close, sleep with them close. Simple. I learnt my lesson and by time number 2 bub came I was prepared. King size bed, sling and an Ergo carrier. Breastfeed on demand and it gave me sooo much more sleep and also free hands to get on with my day.

15.01.2022 I found this selfie of William that he took of himself. 2 months after receiving a broken heart from the passing of his dad. It fully encompasses the tragedy and loss he has experienced. Mind and body meld and he has been sick ever since and oh so very tired (We all are). But there is light. Through the grace of God who is our strength when we don't have any of our own, we have our funny little guy shining through more often. (See next pic ) Life is a continuous adjustment. For us and our Children. Single to partnered to pregnant to babies to teenage children to them leaving the nest. It all goes so fast so cherish each and every day with them and no matter what grief you are going through...Be their support always. #amotherslove #strengththoughchrist #shininglight #lifeevents #supportyourkids #sadnessandsorrow #myson #griefsupport

14.01.2022 This is sometimes my bedtime routine. Falling asleep on the floor waiting for my 9 year old to fall asleep. Thanks to my daughter for documenting this and with me finding it in my photos How do you fall asleep in the evenings? Usually I go to sleep at least once or twice around the house before I sleep for good for the whole night. #sotired #bedtimeroutine #motherslove #thethingsyoudoforyourkids #brisbanemums #goldcoastmums #ipswichmums #sleeptime #bedtime #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths

13.01.2022 I've said this before and I'll say it again!!! Choose your words wisely when speaking to the birthing mother. Words have power and they can manipulate a mothers mind to go down a negative road in their thought process. Use your words for the edifying of the mother as she labours along. Mothers and partners, advocate to your care providers during pregnancy that any discussions or anything that needs to be spoken is to be out of earshot during labour. Let them know beforehand t...hat you will not tolerate any type of talk that has any negative connotations directed to you in labour. Have it written down and posted up on the door if needed so all providers can see this as they enter your birthing space. Why am I so adamant about this? Recently I had to talk a mother down off the ledge as she went into panic mode after a statement from an anaesthetist. The mother knew her limits and had requested an epidural. When asking how long before the medicine would work the anaesthetist replied "hopefully it will work as you were moving around quite a bit, you'll have to wait and see". Essentially the life saving ring the mother was desperately waiting to cling onto was taken out of her reach, and on top of that she was the one to blame as she had been moving. Thankfully Doulas have skill sets that assist the birthing mother to refocus, generate positivity, create calm from a riot and pour love onto that mama to have her know she is a birthing queen and is able to do what she needs do. *WORDS HAVE POWER* Choose them wisely #birthing #wordshavepower #positivebirth #positivethinking #positivequotes #birthyourway #birthadvocate #labouroflove #ephesians4v29 #biblescripture #doulasupport #doulaservices #brisbanewomeninbusiness #brisbanewomenshealth #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths

12.01.2022 Have you ever stopped to think what a miracle it is on how our bodies work? How we can conceive, form and grow an entire other human being with no real thought on our own part. It just happens! The life we have and the life we give is a true miracle. Unfortunately a lot of women get to a stage in their pregnancy where they doubt this God given miracle and themselves and think they won't be able to deliver their babies without intervention. No one knows your baby better than ...your own body. They were created to work together, in unison, as one, to deliver your child earthside. Have faith in your abilities to birth. Just as you had faith in your ability to nurture your child in your womb. #mark9v23 #birthing #believeinyourself #miracles #empoweredwomen #normalizebirth #brisbanemums #goldcoastmums #yesyoucan #birthaffirmations

10.01.2022 The fear of childbirth is so ingrained into our culture. Everyone is always so quick to share 'horror' stories and to disregard any positive birth stories. In relaying my birth experience of my son (which has been my greatest experience and achievement of my life) to another mother once, she told me to my face that what I was saying was BS. Why? Possibly due to ignorance and/or this outright fear driven from the media and negative stories from others. #positivebirth #birthstories #freetobirth #labourandbirth #vbacwithoutfear #bornencaul #brisbanebusiness #birthwithoutfear #serenitybirths

10.01.2022 Happy World Doula Week 2021!

10.01.2022 The proudest mum and ex-stepmum you ever did meet is me. These four humans are perfection What they have endured these past 11 days together has been the saddest moments to witness of my life. They are amazing and resilient and stronger together because of it. . . Support in all areas of your life is paramount for going through life's transitions. These beautiful children lost their father unexpectedly on the 14th March in tragic circumstances. They have rallied together an...d lifted each other up at this terrible time and have been the best support for the days that followed for one another. . . #familytogether #familysupport #foreverfamily #brothersandsisters #love #suicideawareness #ruok #standbysupport #bereavement #loveunites #brokenhearts #lovethemtobits #soproud See more

08.01.2022 A data review from 2012 Cochrane review on continuous support for women in childbirth showed that women who have a doula decrease their risk of being dissatisfied with their birth experience! People often tell pregnant women that as long as their baby is healthy, they should be thankful. Of course our main priority is the health and safety of mum and baby BUT it is certainly not the ONLY thing of value and importance. Your birth experience stays with you and your baby f...or the rest of your lives. Why not give yourself the best opportunity to be beyond satisfied with your experience? #Repost @thisiswhatidoula with @get_repost #worlddoulaweek2019 #postpartumdoula #doulasupport #positivevibes #allbirthisbeautiful #birthnerd #birthdoula #doulalife #doulalove #doulawisdom #birthexperience #positivebirth #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths See more

06.01.2022 Not Doula related as such but it still involves showing support which is what a Doula is all about. Emily and Williams older sister, Sammy is on Australian Survivor! So proud of this girl Literally at the time when the four of them, TJ, Sammy, Emily and William experienced their most tragic days with the sudden loss of their father, this happened. The strength this beautiful girl has during this time is a testament to her character. Your younger sister and little brother... are lucky to have you Starts tonight so get watching people! @survivorau #survivorau #supportingyourfamily #soproudofher #empoweringwomen #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths

06.01.2022 This mumma rocked her birth. She didnt even think she was in labour, God love her I am so proud of her and her persistence so that the third time around she got her dream birth. So much so I had to remind her that it was the hormones talking a few hours later when she was already planning her next baby #hypnobirthing #doulasupport #brandnewbaby #naturalbirthing #birth #babyannouncement #laborandbirth #hypnobirth #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths

06.01.2022 How long did you breast feed your bubba/s for? For me with Emily I fed her for 19 months and from 12 months onwards I started to wean her. William he was for 4.5 years and I let him self wean. Collectively a total of 6 years. Such a big difference with my thought processes between the two children and the way our breastfeeding journeys together played out. With Emily I was still mainstreamed programed to think I had to stop her from breastfeeding at a set time. I followed b...ooks and what society expected of me even when it went against what my heart felt and what she was telling me. By the time William was born I had learnt and experienced better. I knew by then that what other families experienced or what others had to say did not work for my family. What worked for my family worked for mine. Not theirs, yours or the neighbours next door. My family and my family only. And that's the basis of all motherhood. Doing what works for you, your baby and your family. Happy Breastfeeding Week Mummas! Be proud that you and you only sustained and nourish your babies. #worldbreastfeedingweek #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #feedingbabies #worldhealthorganization #exclusivebreastfeeding #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths

05.01.2022 It's all about informed choices. Ones that you make yourself as a basic human right. Not something that you have no say in or feel that you are forced into or even forced to do. Feeling scared to say no is not consent. Consent is your own choice based on factual information and what you feel is best to do for you and your baby at that time. . #informedconsent #informedchoice #birthbrat #birthchoices #humanrights #actinglikeaprincess #homebirth #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths ... #Repost @positivelybirthing with @get_repost You might have seen the news recently that the Duchess of Sussex (the lady I hold personally responsible for the fact that no one has been able to spell my name correctly for the past 2 years ), has been described as a 'birth brat', which I can only assume is the journalistic birth equivalent to bridezilla.. 'God! What was she asking for?' you might be wondering.. 'Lobster after the birth and a jewel encrusted birth pool?' . Nope. According to the press the Duchess wanted to be able to choose her own healthcare providers, her own place of birth and not be subjected to a photo shoot by the worlds media immediately after giving birth. Oh! Like.. basic human rights then? The fact that requests like this, or even more specific choices like whether to have examinations or whether to have continous monitoring in labour are seen as 'unusual', or 'being difficult' says a hell of a lot more about our society, women's rights and the narrative around birth than it does about The Duchess of Sussex! . We don't go to the hair dressers and get told- 'well you're turning 40 now so it's time to get a crop style, you have a big forehead so i'm just going to cut you a quick fringe'.. . Why is birth any different? Why is the default expectation that the minute we fall pregnant our bodies become the property of other people. Whether that friends, family or even total strangers expressing their opinions about what we do or eat during pregnancy or our plans for birth.. or during labour itself when it's expected for women to walk into a hospital and say 'ok, get the baby out, do whatever it takes'. . You're not being difficult, or a brat, for having your own thoughts and opinions about what you want for your birth.. from the hundreds of women I've worked with and hundreds more birth stories I've heard, THIS is the single most important part of getting a positive birth experience. Not hypnobirthing, not being in a pool, not where you give birth- but deciding things for YOURSELF and being supported in those decisions. See more

02.01.2022 Birth happens in many different ways. My second birth was completely different to my first birth. The key difference - support. I knew how I didn't want my second birth to be. Which was for it not to be like my first birth. I just didn't know how to go about it at first. So how did I go about having a pain free, hypnobirthing, water birth 20 minutes after arriving at the hospital?

AND what her support people can do to make her First Forty Days after her bub arrives earthside, a gentle transition into motherhood. #motheringthemother #nourishingthemother #thefirstfortydays #postpartum #postnatal #firstfortydays #gentlemothering #healingfoods #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths

01.01.2022 Hahaha very true. I'm always the first who is asked where anything is. But all jokes aside. I feel we actually find ourselves and find ourselves better when we become mothers. What we lost and once were is found through a metamorphosis into an entirely different being. We find out things about ourselves we never even knew and find strengths we didn't ever thought we would need. Love your mother folks. We are exceptional people and we did it all for you #doulasupport #mothers #lostthingsarefound #changeisagoodthing #thingsyoudoforlove #motherslove #strengthwithin #supportmothers #brisbanedoula #serenitybirths
