Après plus de 2 ans de pause, elle me crie de venir y inviter les femmes qui en ont besoin.

Alors nous voici, la tente rouge et moi, prête à vous accueillir pour ralentir, déposer en confidentialité, bienveillance et sororité.

When it sucks it sucks.
😳
There are a number of situations in life, in the TTC journey, in pregnancy, in birth and in the postpartum where things are just painful, annoying to have to go through, sucky!
😰
Sometimes no one can take that away.
And sometimes I believe crying about it or shouting about it is all there is to do.
🤯
So that’s what we might do together, talk about what sucks, cry about it, shout about it, and most of the time we will hug a large portion of the time.
♥️
A big warm hug can go a long way. So I give those out in abundance.
♥️
With much love for all of you, whatever it is you are going through right now, not trying to fix it, just wanting to be there for you 😘

Formation Cocooning Périnatal avec Alice♥️
Mais au fait, c’est qui Alice? Elle vous en dit plus ici 👇
✨
Je suis tombée en amour pour le rebozo lors de ma formation au soin post partum en 2016, lors de ma dernière grossesse.
Mère de trois enfants, dont la première n'est pas née, j'ai été propulsée dans la maternité via le handicap. Avec un parcours qui mêle l'image ( projection de films en plein air et photo), l'interculturel (organisation et accompagnement de séjours de jeunes Européens) et les apprentissages autonomes, j'ai opté pour le maternage proximal, qui à évolué en instruction en famille. Ma manière d'appréhender le monde est globale.
L'évidence cohérente qu'il me faut travailler avec des rebozos respectueux s'impose à moi: les miens seront bios et éthiques. Ma f***e aventure textile commence. J'y rencontre Sephora, dont l'envie de rebozo long est à honorer. Naissance du reboshiki! Depuis, il fait partie de mon quotidien et permets à mes pratiques et mes envies d'évoluer. Grande gratitude pour les possibles qui en ont découlés!
Et l'envie de faire se recroiser nos chemins autour de nos passions pour ce bel outil donne naissance à cette formation qu'on vous propose.

Bisous bisous!!

Rebozo Perinatal Cocooning Course with Alice Jolin from
♥️
À course to support folks around early parenthood with the Rebozo.
Because, the Rebozo, in my heart is this fabric that holds the energy and the imprint of women.
✨
Like women, he is stable and capable of holding and supporting a lot.
Like women, he adapts to different cycles, the menstruel cycles, the cycle of life.
Because he is profoundly an extension of women, he adapts to all womens’ bodies, all bodies, with all of its flexibility and softness.
✨
For me the Rebozo is extended hands of maternal, empathic, amazingly strong women over generations and generations.
✨
So, a course around the cycle that brings life, from the desire to conceive, through the postnatal and everywhere in between, with this almost magical tool, seems to me like it would be silly not to be done! 🤗
✨
More infos coming soon, stay connected!
✨
And until then, wishing you to experience love and warmth in your heart and body, with love, your doula 😘

🖤My Secret🖤

✨
Full disclosure: I am black 😳
🖤
I know, not exactly a secret. 😅
🖤
Well to me, it always comes as kind of a surprise when I am reminded of this part of my identity when catch people reacting to me. I am suddenly faced with the fact that when they see me, they see that, first.
🖤
I kind of « forget » about what appearance I put out to the world until I see caution in someone’s eyes or a comment, or a question that brings out some discomfort or questioning about my place and my value.
🖤
I think of me as a soul with all its quirks and sides, and I am always falling from high when I remember I can be seen only as a skin color.
🖤
Being black can be frustrating, painful and full of teachable moments when living in a country dominated by white heroines, icons, and simply people.
And at the same time I am very empathic of people growing up as white in a white country, and having to face difference, and unlearn stereotypes instilled in their belief systems since birth.
🖤
In the end we are souls that are trying to meet to grow together or simply walk alongside each other on part of our journeys on earth. Our experiences of the world are very different, and I find that so enriching! 😍
🖤
So whatever the feelings around connecting with a person who looks like I do might be, I thank you for being who you are 🙏
🖤
There might be sadness in recognizing how much work we still have to do as a society. Outside of that, there is pure love, for you and for me.
🖤
I look forward to us crossing paths, whichever part of the world you come from and however light or dark your skin might be.
🖤
The need for empathy as well as support in every steps leading and following birth are simply universal.
🖤
With much love for you and yours, your doula

Trust your gut
✨
One of my favorite things as your doula is being present to witness that particularly delicious moment where you realize that trusting your gut is most of what you need to birth your baby. Joy! You can do it, that’s a fact, and bonus, you have everything in you to know how 🙏🏽
✨
It goes back to the basics, wink that I admire+get inspired by and her book that I love love love and gift to everyone I meet🥰:
- Feeling safe
- Feeling warm
- Stay hydrated and eat if hungry
- Surrounded by trustworthy beings(humans, animals, plants..) that trust in you, your baby, life
- Intimacy
- Connected to yourself and your baby aka turn off the lights, and the neocortex 👌🏾
✨
I believe that if you are given the space to listen to your instincts, they will tell you everything you need to know.
✨
Thank you for allowing me to come and hold the curtain for you to (re)create that space for the voices in you that know and are willing to show you the way ♥️
✨
With much love and gratitude, your doula

📢Calling all insomniacs,
👉🏼those who suffer from sleep apnoea,
👉🏼those who can only sleep in a certain position,
👉🏼those who sleep best when their partner is in bed with them,
👉🏼those who wake to use the toilet,
👉🏼those who wake for a sip of water,
👉🏼those who sometimes wake from a nightmare in a flat panic and call out or reach out for comfort,
👉🏼those who experience chronic pain that interrupts their sleep,
👉🏼those with a toothache,
👉🏼those who struggle to switch off their busy mind for sleep,
👉🏼those who are restless sleepers,
👉🏼those who need precious little sleep- the night owls, the early risers ...
I'm so very sorry to break it to you, but you are officially BAD ADULTS!

Your sleep does not look how the sleep experts say we should be sleeping 🙌🏽 8 uninterrupted, blissful hours of peaceful slumber 🙌🏽

You are not doing as you should.
You are being difficult, manipulative and are unnecessarily disruptive by night.

I'm sorry that none of your other glowing and valuable qualities matter now ... you are a bad sleeper and as such you are a BAD ADULT.

I know this may upset you, to feel so heavily judged because of something that you cannot control.
But sorry, you do not/ will not conform ... it is your fault.

Pretty bloody ridiculous isn't it ...
It's the exact same rot you hear daily about babies who do not sleep the way society dictates.

The question, 'is he a good baby?' is almost always swiftly followed by, 'do they sleep well?'.
It has been sadly decided that only those babies who sleep easily and for long hours independently, in their cot can be 'good babies'.

✨This unrealistic and unfair expectation needs to end✨

It is normal infant sleep and nursing behaviour for a baby to wake and nurse frequently throughout the first year and BEYOND.
Babies are also individuals with their own unique sleep needs and this does not make them any better or any worse than any other person around them.

Let's start with some basic human decency for our youngest and most vulnerable people in society. Their complete dependence on their caregivers is not something to be worried or ashamed of.
Human infants need parenting both day and night.
There are no bad babies, only babies who desperately need us to educate society of what is normal when it comes to their sleep. 😴👶🏽💙

🥰Midwives🥰

This week has started with a need to underline how wonderful midwives are, wherever they are, independent, in the maternity ward, at a birth center. Showing why midwives are nothing but a family’s ally at birth was part of a very pivotal prenatal visit. Trust is key in birth. Ensuring you go towards birthing your child filled with trust in you and the team of people around you is crucial for everything to align.
✨
Synchronicity when you show up 😅 this morning I had the privilege of being welcomed with opened arms with my wonderful French doula partner, friend, life gift by the beautiful midwives of birth center located just near HUG. In the spirit of working together for an upcoming birth this summer, meeting the team was wonderful.
All the love, the passion, the care was there, looking at us through those magical, powerful women’s eyes.
✨
The responsibility that they carry on their shoulders is huge, and they go on to take it because they care so much, because it is their calling, because they believe in the women and the babies and their ability to birth themselves.
✨
Well, it is in fact not for me to say, I am not a midwife. I am sharing what I felt and sensed being amongst them, the palpable passion, love and energy they put in what I can not call a job, but rather a life calling!
✨
Renovated to required standards and with the warmth and the coziness they transpire, parents going there for support I believe are in loving, respectful and more than capable hands! How lucky are we to have access to such a ressource!
✨
Thank you midwives for being, thank you for protecting births.
Gratefulness all around ♥️
