We believe that mothers are our greatest asset and we need to do a better job of supporting them and their families.

Modern mothers need their village back and that village starts with sharing and talking.

together, let's break the stigmas, stereotypes,  and judgement around motherhood.

Thank you for this @motherbirth.co ・・・ Postpartum is hard. Like, really, really hard. Even though we talk about it more these days than ever, it's still something that most of us don't want to admit to when we're in the throes of it.⠀ ⠀ And it's not just the physical recovery or adjusting to life with a baby that needs you around the clock. There's the raging and fluctuating hormones but maybe more than anything is the shifting identity that can feel so much like loss...⠀ ⠀ This week on the podcast we hear from Kate (@ktpostpartumdoula) about the non-negotiability of postpartum support, and how we can get it even if we don't have built in community, family or live in an area with a ton of resources. This conversation is so near and dear to our hearts as one of our greatest passions is for the health of the WHOLE mama as she goes through the incredible transformation of motherhood... and we know how invaluable support is to this process.⠀ ⠀ Tune in to hear Kate's own birth stories, how she began providing the support she had desperately lacked the first time around, and how you can set yourself up for success ahead of time! Listen in iTunes, any podcast app, or at the link in our bio. ❤️⠀ ⠀ Gorgeous photo of @funkygine in all her postpartum glory/reality. 😘⠀ ⠀ #motherbirth #postpartum #postpartumsupport #postpartumdoula #doula #midwife #midwifery #postpartumrecovery #postpartumhealth #perinatalhealth #ppd #postpartumdepression #birth #birthstory

We love @droscarserrallach 🧡 Click the link in bio to pop over to our News page and read our Q+A featuring Dr. Serrallach and his book, The Postnatal Depletion Cure ・・・ #repost I love this concept of "deep, supported Matrescence” that I saw on @motherthemother The transformation into motherhood is not a 2D occurrence and does not occur simply at the scene of the birth. Motherhood is intergenerational. How our grandmothers and mothers were mothered sets a woman up whilst she herself is in utero, to commence the journey and continue the matrilineage. Whether or not a woman has children - as a child she is exposed to all the subtle and not so subtle societal norms, expectations and pressures relating to being a woman and what it means to be a mother. She continues to receive subconscious programming while she plans her family, conceives her child, carries her baby in her womb and brings new life into the world. Through pregnancy and birth, she experiences massive biological changes to the very core of her physical being, via a shifting hormonal landscape, and a reorganisation of “information gathering” receptors (and also via mechanisms not yet discovered ) she begins her transformation. All her ideas and subconscious programming about motherhood blend with her hopes and dreams about the future. These often collide with the reality of circumstance, creating an existential dissonance in the process. The changes, the collision, the adjustment… is why she needs her village. A new mother can feel more than she has ever felt before. To expand herself in a way to accommodate her new wisdom requires appropriate support and guidance, which over the years can give rise to a whole new integrated majestic being. Motherhood is a time of turbulence and reintegration. When it is not guided and not supported, it can lead to the deepest of despair and an uneasy confusion that can lead to a profoundly depleted state. It takes a village to raise a child. This is self evident. It also takes a village to raise a mother. This should be self evident, but our society has lost it ways, corrupted its wisdom and downgraded the most important of roles. #ittakesavillage #motherhood

Motherhood is not easy. It can usher in unprecedented hurdles and challenges that call everything we know into question.

Wow. Just wow. 🧡💦🧡 #Repost @homesweethomebirth ・・・ What an amazing picture @natalielennard ! "AQUADURAL (2018) #Waterbirth has primitive history as early as 2700BC when women of ancient Crete, Japan, South America and New Zealand were known to birth in shallow ocean and rivers. For this chapter of my series I wanted to construct a waterbirth image representative of ancient past: a woman birthing beneath the surface of the ocean. Siberian philosopher Igor Tjarkovsky, who attended to thousands of babies in water and believes we originate from the sea 3 billion years ago, claims that waterbirth optimizes the newborn brain on a sacred level. From the baby’s point of view, the continuity of environment going from one fluid to another, is said to pace the traumatic onslaught of all the new sensations, putting the monumental first breath last, contributing to a calmer transition that will indelibly affect our lifelong “limbic imprint”.
