It’s a magical gift to be invited into someone’s birthing space and to support a family on one of the biggest days of their lives: welcoming their little one into the world.

Yesterday, we welcomed a baby boy who will now grace this earth 🩵.

What feels even more sacred is being invited to hold a family’s brand-new baby. I rarely hold babies while working in the hospital, but every now and then, a family invites me to cuddle their precious little one. Their parents carefully pass them over with so much trust, pride, and excitement as they introduce me to their miracle.

What a gift it is to receive.

I do not take this work lightly. I approach my role with passion, care, tenderness, and all the love I can muster for the families who allow me to walk alongside them during such a transformative season of life.

To all the parents who have trusted me with your journey, thank you. It is an honour to support you through these new and exciting chapters and to witness the beginning of your family’s story.

This week I hosted an in-home private parent & baby postpartum yoga class for besties and their babes. There’s something so special about these classes — spaces where moms and babies can gather and simply be themselves without expectations, rules, or formality.

A space to ask yoga specific or postpartum doula-related questions comfortably, connect with other postpartum parents, bond with baby, and gently nurture the body through movement and breath.

Participants are encouraged to move intuitively and are offered a variety of posture options throughout class. Each session includes a slow, breath-linked flow with guidance on how to incorporate developmentally appropriate play and connection activities with baby based on their age and stage.

If you would like to join a small-group parent & baby community yoga and/or stroller fit walk & stretch class hosted at a parent’s home or at a local park, DM or email [email protected] to be added to the spring class communications list.

In-studio parent & baby classes at The Golden Thread Sanctuary will be scheduled this fall, so keep an eye on my socials for upcoming dates or email to be added to the wait list.
