Build a stud wall with me

One great thing about being self-employed is that I have enough money and loads of free time

Free time to do whatever I want, like learn new skills

If you've been chatting with me over the last few months, I've probably mentioned that I'm buying a panel van so I can convert it into a mobile work/living space

So I better learn some carpentry! Mainly stud walls and box storage

So here I am learning as I go, looking for anyone who needs help with a project

We love to learn! And I'm a good teacher and an even better student

Only wish I started doing this stuff sooner, but nothing before it's time

Next up, plasterboarding! Keep up with me to see how it goes 😊

Move Your Soul is in 3 days! And tickets are moving quickly

Just had to take the opportunity to sample the amazing dinner menu

We had crispy pork belly, crab meat ravioli, crispy sushi rice and honey glazed shredded chicken

I have to say every bite was delicious. 4 plates, 2 cocktails and great customer service, we left feeling so happy with experience and would definitely recommend food and drink any time

While Move Your Soul is a sober experience, food and drink will be available for purchase afterwards. So please stick around and enjoy a lovely evening out with your friends

Song and dance are a very human experience. When we created culture, the first instrument we used was our voice and the second was percussion

When you dance, you move intuitively to rhythm, and this allows you to connect to your primal human self.

It allows you to connect with your soul

I.... am a massive nerd. And I'm not afraid to admit it! I just love learning. And I like to get things right and know the facts. I take notes. I draw diagrams. I organise my notes categorically. And I link them back to reputable sources so myself and my clients can refer back to the research at any time

In order to learn, you must first be aware and admit that you don't know. The not knowing is your opportunity to go and find the answer.

Often, in the maternity system, the way a person's birth is handled is based on the care provider's professional opinion or preference. But opinion is not fact, and often practices are not evidence based. Things happen that were unnecessary or could've been avoided, and when birthing people don't know the evidence based info, it's harder for them to make informed decisions

As a doula, my clients are putting their trust in me to give them all the relevant information necessary to make their own decisions. So the worst thing that I could do is accidentally give them false information for fear of admitting that I don't know the answer.

It's okay to not know the answers! The answers are out there. You just need to go find them, and that's how you learn and expand your expertise.

A good teacher never forgets that they are a student first and foremost. A good teacher is always learning and expanding their knowledge base.

I learn from my students and clients, and they learn from me

One thing that has been so beautiful and healing to witness as a doula is seeing babies being born into families with two parents who love each other

To see two people who live each other so much that their love is now multiplied is pure magic

As the non-birthing partner, your job is to stay calm and grounded. A woman's hormones are like the deep vast ocean, constantly changing and unpredictable. A birth partner must be like the rocks along the shore, able to stand strong amidst the chaos, unshaken and unphased

Remind your partner of their strength, how capable and amazing they are. Reaffirm your love for them every step of the way and validate everything they feel

And as your doula, I'm here for both of you! Because dad's and non-birthing partners need support. They're also having a baby for the first, second, or third time. And they're having their own experience as well

I've got your back!

I'm here to take things off of your plate so you have less to think about and can just focus on yourself and bringing your baby into the world

Your doula is the protector of your oxytocin. That means low lighting, music, safe guarding your space, respecting your boundaries and reminding you of your power

I'm here to make sure you have everything you need without having to ask

The more you're cared for, the more you can relax and enjoy your birth experience

If you or someone you know is having a baby, reach out to me for a free consultation and let's bring your dream birth experience into reality

There are a lot of things a birthing person needs in order to give birth with confidence and to let go of fear

While the right support, a calm environment and belief in oneself are all major contributing factors, the mum also needs to be in tuned with her body.

She needs to notice what her body is doing and how it feels. In order to do this, first, everyone else must be quiet. Then Mum can quiet her own mind and focus.

Relax all the muscles in her face to relax her cervix. Release tension in her shoulders and her hands and her jaw. Tune into her breath. A deep inhale through her nose into her belly and out through her mouth, bearing down with the exhale.

BREATHE your baby out. Breath is life and it is fuel. Your breath is the greatest uniter between your mind and body. Move with your breath and bring your baby into the world.

For more info on how breathwork plays a vital role in your birth experience, reach out to me via sms.

If you, or someone you know, is having a baby, reach out to me via sms

I am here to support you

Hello my yogis! I hope you have been enjoying the sunshine these last few days

As we move into summer, it's time to celebrate the longer, warmer days and those oh so gorgeous sunsets. 

What better day to celebrate than Bealtaine! A time for planting seeds and nuturing growth for a bountiful harvest!

This two hour event will take place on Saturday May 2 at 4pm in Collective Cork. It will include a breathwork and guided meditation practice, followed by an energising Vinyasa Flow to pay homage and gratitude to the sun for invigorating our bodies and this beautiful green land of Eire that we call home!

All accompanied by a beautiful soundbath with

Booking link coming soon and there are only 10 spaces available so be sure to book early!
