Raise your hand if a TENS machine was your BFF in labour 🙋🏼‍♀️

One of the perks included with our doula services is a free TENS machine rental 🤍

A TENS machine works by sending gentle electrical pulses through pads placed on the back, helping to ease contraction pain while encouraging the body’s natural endorphins — your built-in pain relief hormones!

Join us this Wednesday (May 13th) for Gather and Grow! Come by anytime between 11am - 1pm.

We offer these monthly meet ups hosted in the classroom to give an opportunity for our families to stay in touch after your little one has arrived! This is open to any clients of Birth Matters including Doula Care, Prenatal Classes, Newborn Classes, and any classes facilitated in our Modern Nest Classroom. We love to see familiar faces back in the classroom and allow families to make connections with those in the same season of life. Bonus, there is hot coffee & treats! See you then!

Is there anything sweeter than your brand-new baby, all snuggled up with their first diaper and tiny hat on? 🤍

One of my favorite moments at a birth is when the whirlwind settles into calm - the lights dim again, mom is feeling as refreshed as possible, and it’s finally time to hear that long-awaited number on the scale. I’m always so excited to find out how much these little ones weigh… and I love when the partner gets to do the honours of announcing it.

How much did your little one weigh at birth? Did it surprise you? ⬇️

International Women’s Day

I’m reminded how incredibly privileged I am to witness the strength of women every day. I get a front-row seat to the raw, unfiltered power that lives within us… the courage, the resilience, the vulnerability, and the fierce determination it takes to bring new life into the world.

I watch women dig deeper than they ever thought possible. I watch them face fear, push through intensity, and rise stronger with every breath. Supporting women through these moments is one of the greatest honours of my life.

Women are powerful. Women are resilient. Women are extraordinary.
