Many mamas I have had the honor to meet have expressed the first time they were birthing, they had no idea how to create a support network for themselves that was truly mother and family centered. They were glad to have found a doula to work with, although they already “knew” they could give birth. Just by having physiology related to birth explained well gave many of their thoughts and questions that came up in their first experience answers and connection.
That realization of being able to have enough information in a mother-centered approach helped create an environment that felt safe and secure for their following birth and the family experienced the true benefit of having a doula, leading them to have smoother transition into welcoming a new addition to their family.

Incorporating Exercise to Activities
Easy hikes are great for the whole family to enjoy including expecting mamas and kids!
During pregnancy, it is a great way to enjoy fresh air, be connected with the earth, and get good exercise. The gentle upward and downward hills help move the pelvis creating more comfortable space for the baby.
Always be cautious of where you step and it is a great teaching/learning opportunity for kids to watch their step.
Intensifying our appreciation towards the bounties of nature on our island, my husband whipped up a delicious handmade, carefully wild harvested strawberry guava sorbet.
