The puppy pose is one of our go-to labour techniques for a poorly positioned baby. Think “child’s pose” but lift your bum as high in the air as you can! This will allow your baby to move away from the cervix and continue to instinctually find optimal position (head down, face down). Not only will this speed labour up, but it will also take away that nasty back labour! Join our next prenatal class (or book a private one) if you’d like to learn more. ♥️

Your gentle reminder that 40 weeks is not an eviction date! In fact, your baby and your body are preparing for labour to begin regardless of having clear signs. 40 weeks might be a good time to turn off your phone notifications, take a good walk and long nap - but that’s about it. The hardest part of pregnancy is the waiting game but I promise that it will be all worth it ♥️

Most of what I do in a birth room will never make it into a photo.

It lives in the quiet reminders.
The steady hand you didn’t realize you were reaching for.
The subtle shifts in energy that help you find your footing again.

But I take the photo anyway.
As a reminder of why I step into these spaces. Of the privilege it is to witness such raw, powerful transitions.

Because the truth is — this work isn’t always soft and glowing. Sometimes it’s heavy. Sometimes it’s lonely. Sometimes it asks more of you than you expect.

But more often than not, it’s connection.
It’s trust.
It’s walking out knowing a mother felt held, and a baby entered the world surrounded by love.

And that feeling? That’s everything. 🤍

Things to consider when ensuring your birth space is supporting the mind-body connection during your labour:

1. Where do I feel the most safe birthing my baby?
2. Does my birth team believe in my plan?
3. Is my partner prepared to support me?
4. Have I helped my body feel strong in this pregnancy?
5. What food with fuel my labour?
6. Who is going to advocate for my birth preferences?
7. What do I need in my birth space to help me feel safe?
8. Does my provider & birth location align with my values?
9. Has my provider witnessed & supported the type of birth I desire?
10. What expectations do I have of my birth team during this experience?

What started as a client relationship has blossomed into something truly magical. When I met Cass many years ago, I knew right then and there she had so much to offer the birth and postpartum space.

From store owner, home-birther, to mom of two, Cass’s ability to shift with the ebbs and flows is something truly inspiring.

If you’ve had the pleasure of working with Cass in one of her many roles at The Doula Tree, I have no doubt you left feeling loved & nurtured. So if you’ve haven’t had a consult with her, run don’t walk!

Here’s to many more years supporting families together!

Fun fact: home birth is proven to be just as safe (if not safer) than hospital births for low risk, healthy women.

Not sure? Ask women in your community who have had home births about their experience. Speak to your local midwives or attend one of their monthly “choice of birth places information nights). You can even call a doula (hello!) & ask for some non-biased feedback. The information is out there if you want to find it ♥️

Brittany’s rule: never ever make decisions based on uneducated fear and/or other peoples opinions.

Do you want to really help a newly postpartum mother? Focus on these 4 things & you can’t go wrong!

New mom in all the feels? Prioritize HALT every.single.day.

Hungry: eat a protein packed breakfast, set up a meal train & hydrate with electrolytes

Angry: think of ways to boost natural oxytocin including morning sunshine, a clean home & doula support

Lonely: plan your postpartum village with intention! Invite a friend over, visit an early on centre or join a yoga class

Tired: you need rest! Hire a doula to squeeze in a daytime nap or soak up a solid night. Invite your mother over for baby cuddles while you snooze for an hour. Prioritizing sleep with require effort and asking for help & this is your permission to do that.

Send this to your postpartum supports so they know EXACTLY how to be helpful when you welcome your new baby ♥️
