OUT OF OFFICE ✌️

It’s officially time for me to take off and start my Masters! I’ll be out of office until August 22 to focus on my studies, get to know my new cohort and the program. This has been a goal of mine for 12 years and I feel so ready to take this step. Wish me luck as I sit in a classroom again for the first time in over a decade!

As a mama, saying bye to my babies for 6 days absolutely broke my heart. I’m not sure how to get through not seeing them for that long. I miss them already. My mama heart can’t handle their sadness as I gave them a hug, kiss and cuddle goodbye last night 💔 I know I am taking this step for myself, but also for my family. Leaning into that knowing and letting myself feel all the things in this moment.

I will continue to check emails and DMs occasionally but there may be a delay.

See you all again in a week ✌️

I had Postpartum Depression and Anxiety. Even as someone who worked in mental health, I couldn’t see it for myself. It took me 10 months to finally ask for help.

Here’s what I learned 🤍

If you experienced perinatal mental health challenges, what is something you would add?

If you are struggling, please ask for help. You can ask confidentially, or to someone you trust. You were never meant to do this alone.

Happy Fathers Day to the absolute best of the best. Ian you are more than anything I could have ever dreamed of as the father of our kids. We are so grateful for you, and love you more than you know. You are by far our kids favourite person 🤍

To my Dad, you are the example of what it means to be not just a good dad, but a phenomenal one. today you are grieving your own son and Dad who I know you would give anything to have with you today. I am so grateful for you and everything you have done for us since day 1. You are now an even better Papa, and it makes my heart soar to watch you with my boys.

They know what it means to be a caring, present, vulnerable and kind human because they have you both.

Happy Father’s Day 🤍

• Timing Contractions •

One thing I’ve learned over the last 5 years is timing contractions can provide information but also cause anxiety, confusion and disconnection from the body. It puts your experience into a phone rather than trusting your intuition or tuning into what your body is asking of you.

Frequency of contractions is different for everyone, and just one piece of information about how your labor is progressing. Some people have surges 3 minutes apart but they’re manageable while others will have strong surges 8 minutes apart and have a baby. It’s not black and white.

Swipe to see what other signs I look for in clients to know how things are progressing, how they’re coping and what they may need.

Save and share with any expectant friends or family!

Ps. In labor, please just put the phone down. You don’t need it 😉

I intentionally set aside 1-2 months a year to be off call. These last few weeks have been so cup filling in all the right ways, especially after supporting so many incredible families who welcomed their little one(s) this Spring!

How I’ve been spending my time off call:
• Camping 3x (new fav family activity!)
• Getting back to properly working out at again TWP Fitness
• adventures and quality time with my kids, and hubby
• continuing to work hard behind the scenes on the business side of things, and making updates for Cradled App
• catching up on reading - I think I’m on book 5 in less than a month!
• supporting a new twin mama in her transition into parenthood. This is such a highlight every week.
• preparing for my MSW and practicum in the Fall
• catching up with old friends and past clients
• celebrating my KelownaNow win with my hubby 🤍

Only a few more days until the kids are done school, and summer begins! Can’t wait to support more incredible families in the next few months. What a privilege this “work” is!

Oh hey, I’m still here 👋

I haven’t been as on top of social media lately (it just doesnt fill my cup) but I’m still here. I’ve been busy doula-ing at births (hello spring babies!), providing lots of postpartum support, building and launching an app (!! ), prepping for grad school in the Fall, focusing on my kids and family, working out , camping and dancing ( ) each week.

We also said goodbye to our cat 2 weeks ago. We had him for 14 years and it’s taken a few weeks to really settle into that loss. Grief is messy, and I noticed some of my old grief/trauma coming back the surface. I needed some time to let that integrate.

It’s been a busy season, and I’m focusing on serving the families I’m working on, continuing to learn to better serve my clients, building businesses and focusing on my family.

Thank you for being here, and supporting me on this wild ride 🤍

With love,
K
