I started getting osteopathy treatments in the early years of motherhood and it helped me so much. My body was rather misaligned and in pain after two pregnancies, carrying babies for hours every day and not taking proper care of myself. Osteopathy was one of the modalities that helped me so much on my journey back to prioritizing myself and having my health and energy back. I only wish I had known of osteopathy and its benefits before I had my children. I had no idea that it could have helped w...

We prepare and think about birth a lot. Or at least I did. But postpartum? Not so much. It wasn’t until after I had both my children that I even heard of a postpartum doula. A birth doula sure, but postpartum – no. Postpartum was a shocking reality slap. It was beautiful. It was messy. And it was the first time in my life that I craved more support on such a deep level. Imagine how different our world would be if new mothers had extra support and delicious nourishing meals during those first few...

We change so much when we become mothers. Our bodies change. Our brains change. Our day-to-day changes. It is no wonder that our identities and beliefs change too.

Does your schedule reflect your priorities? Do you know your values? Are you clear on your emotions? What about your needs? Life can get busy as a mom. Our time can easily get eaten up.

Preparation during pregnancy can make recovery from pregnancy and birth a little smoother. And it isn’t too late for the rest of us who didn’t set ourselves up optimally for a speedy recovery. We can start now. On the la...

Do you struggle with low energy? Do you want more sleep but feel it is impossible at this point in your motherhood journey?

Peeing when jumping on a trampoline. Fear of running. Prolapse. Back pain. Separated abdominals. Pelvic floor pain.
