“ I invite you to think of an embodiment practice as a conversation with your body.

You listen to your sensations, which allows you to respond with breath and movement.

Then you ask your body, “Did I get it right?”

Listen for feedback in the form of emotions, changes in sensation, or an overall sense of ease.

Notice if you have a tendency to be aggressive with yourself.

If you experience a stuck sensation, gently rest your attention there.

Ask this part of your body what it needs from you.

Allow your curiosity to help you listen more deeply.”

Between May & June I attended four beautiful births. 💛

This month I am soaking into being off-call, and loving this time of slow mornings, saltwater, pizza on the beach, and weekends with our grandson.

Today I’m reviewing my notes, looking at photos & videos ~ and writing Birth Stories. This is part of my work as a doula, besides heart tending & space holding ~ is memory keeping.

These moments of sheer wonder, joy, exhaustion, grace, strength, resilience, and so much love, love, love, love.

And beyond… into the nurturing of new families. I’ve been visiting folks, answering questions, helping with feeding, first baths, and watching over babies while tired parents find some rest.

When they are ready, I will offer them the photos, the videos, and my notes of their journey to the edge of the universe and back.

This week I have one more visit with a lovely family whom I’ve spent almost six months with. It was a privilege to be present for the birth of their sweet baby. I will try not to cry when we say farewell, but I probably will. 💛

Here’s some photos from life lately, and a poem.

“ We are the glorious
manifestation of the power
of the universe.
We are the fingertips of
the force of the stars,
so do your job and FEEL. “

Welcome to the world, baby.

Here’s a poem for you, and for all of the sweet babies, everywhere.

Love, your doula. 💛

We’ve all been waiting for you.
For you.
Your arrival has been marked, has been recorded
on earth,
in the universe,
in the galaxies,
in all of space,
in all of time.
You come with a birthright, written in love and sung
through all Creation in words which promise
that no matter where you’re at,
you’re home
that no matter who you’re with,
you’re welcome
that no matter who you are,
you’re loved.
Welcome.

A poem for Solstice, and Indigenous People’s Day. 🌞

This video was made on land which is commonly known as Russell Island, located within the Gulf Islands, BC.

The Hul’q’umi’num’ people historically named this island tth’umuqwa,’ which refers to the Kelp Greenling, a colorful fish commonly found in the area near kelp forests and rock reefs.

On this first day of summer, may we honour the rich culture and history of the First Nations people- whose relationship with these lands continues today. 💛

Welcome to the world sweet baby,
Love, your doula. Xo

Came home this morning from a birth, slept for a few hours, had a snack from the Sidney Bakery, and spent an hour reading on the beach.

It takes me a little longer these days, to recover from being awake all night. But I love what I do, and the sunshine feels like medicine for these tired bones. 💛
