Come and prepare for birth at this “amuse-bouche” of helpful ways that you and your partner can work together when birthing your baby. I like to think of this as a taster and combination of active birth, yoga and a doula antenatal session that ends with a lovely relaxation. With the intention of leaving you feel prepared for labour. Bookings taken @kuu_london. I look forward to seeing you there 🙏🏼
All of this ❤️ - - #Repost @mysticmamma ・・・ I found this beautiful prayer last year and wish to share again 𓆃 “Today we celebrate with those who are remembering their mothers with love and gratitude.. We pray, too, for those who are grieving the loss of a mother. May they be comforted, may they be blessed with sweet memories.. as well as a profound knowing of their beloved mom’s continuing presence in another form.. We hold healing space for those who are still hurting because they have been wounded by a mother. May deep healing permeate every cell of their being, may they see themselves through the pure loving eyes of the divine Mother.. We give thanks for those who have poured out their hearts and become mothers to foster children, step-children, adopted children; and for those who provide a safe space for a neglected neighborhood kid to hang out and be a part of the family; for those who live always able to find room for one more.. We embrace with understanding and love those who have longed to have children and been unable to. May they..find peace, and may they find their way to nurture this deep longing and to bring forth birth in whatever form most serves their highest good.. We honor and respect those who have chosen not to become mothers in this life—for whatever reason—and we give thanks for the many and diverse ways that they bless all of our lives.. And today we hold with special care and tenderness those who have lost a child—whatever the age, whatever the circumstances. We surround them this day and every day with gentleness and love. We see their sorrow and we honor it.. We pray that as their profound loss is held in profound compassion, that their pain—as well as their love—may guide and transform them. May they be healed and may they be instruments of healing for others.. We give thanks for all people who nurture.” ~by Peggy Christiansen 💗💗💗 Mamma love and blessings 💗💗💗 (Art by #MYSTICMAMMA)

Maternal mental health week:: Reflecting on last Saturdays “Embracing Change” retreat for new mums at @thewellgarden. What came up as part of our sharing circle facilitated by @mamakalondon is that there can be a lot of emphasis on what might not be going “right” - an example being comparing your baby sleeping patterns or feeding patterns to that of another other mums. And how this can leave a new mum feeling like she is inadequate somehow and that everyone else has got it in the bag! What emerged from this sharing is how often we will focus on the negative. But how often will we focus on the good stuff? Knowing that you and your baby are individuals and will have different patterns to others. And how can you really appreciate all the nourishment and nurturing you give unconditionally that supports your happy and healthy child. Take a few moments each day and tell yourself - well done! Because you are awesome 👏✨ - - New mum sharing groups facilitated by @mamakalondon // Postnatal doula-ing and “cerrada” closing ceremony offered by @souladoula65 (pictured) // Baby massage/ yoga @firsttouchmassage // Postnatal yoga @yolande_yoga// CBT and Hypnobirthing @berry_and_bloom // Homeopathy @Grazia Gatti // Gong and sound healing @benitayoga
Maternal mental health week 👇🏼 #Repost @magamamas ・・・ The word "postpartum" has become synonymous with depression. "Oh, I didn't have postpartum." If you have had a child, or abortion, or miscarriage, or loss, you have experienced the postpartum time. The time "after the departure." We are programmed to believe that the faster we recover- act and look like we never had a baby, the more "badass" we are. The thing is that what is happening postpartum is mostly unseen. You can't see the wound of the placental site. If it was external, no one would allow that person out of the house. Because it's internal, and for generations most women have not received remotely the care they need after birth, we have started to think of this postpartum time to rush through. Have you ever had your wisdom teeth out? About five days after, you think you're normal. About ten days out, you look back on five days prior, knowing you were definitely NOT OK, and in an altered state. The new mom herself often cannot recognize her own state as different, because she is in an in-between space. As a community, we need to surround her and remind her. "Go back to bed, friend. I got this." Most people use their resources these days for birth doulas and birth photographers. The postpartum time is a lot longer than a birth, and arguably much more determinant of your overall health in the future. With the right postpartum care, most births, no matter how traumatic, can be repaired, and a woman can still emerge from the six week extended rest period healthier and more resourced. . . #maternalmhmatters2018 #maternalmentalhealthawareness #motherhood #thefourthtrimester #postpartumhealing #postpartumsanctuary www.magamama.com/fourth-trimester-course
