It feels a little strange speaking into this space again after being away for so long. I’ve been quite removed from this part of my life, but I wanted to come back to share where I’m at and express gratitude to all the incredible women I’ve supported and who have supported me in this sacred rite of passage.
It’s been two years since my second and final baby, Sid, was born. Postpartum took me fully, and only recently have I felt myself returning, or perhaps becoming a new version of myself. In that season I shifted from being the ‘nurturer’ to being nurtured, leaning heavily into support and love from those around me.
I didn’t feel the call to return to doula work, but I did feel pulled toward something new. This year I stepped back into work, still walking alongside mothers, but in a different way. I’ve been supporting families as they prepare for their children to transition to school. I offer a listening ear, learning resources, encouragement and help mothers connect with their children and their community. It’s been a very organic shift from supporting mothers with babies, to supporting mothers with young children.
I’m not sure if I’ll return to doula work one day, but I know I’ll always be connected to women, whether that’s through my work, cooking for community in times of need, being a supportive friend and ally or modelling for my children the importance of honouring and holding mothers.
I’m so deeply thankful for everyone who has supported me over the past five years. What started as a tiny seed after my first daughter’s birth blossomed into such a beautiful community. To the women who welcomed me into your homes and lives during such tender moments, being there with you was the greatest honor.
Bye for now 🤍
