Part 2 of my back-to-basics post on why investing in postpartum support is not such a bad idea 🤷‍♀️.
As someone interested in the postpartum space, some things seem obvious to me - but I was gently reminded that this may not be the case for others who are currently pregnant for the first time. So, here’s a back-to-basics post: why invest in
Part 2/2 Here is the second example of something I took to Malik’s birth that I think should carry across to postpartum and beyond. Drawn from the great Ina May Gaskin’s Guide to Childbirth - a little reminder to Let Your Monkey Do It!
Part 1/2 I’ve been a little quiet on here lately - my son turned 1 a little over a week ago + I’m still deep in the rabbit hole of reflecting on the past year. In my deep dive, I revisited the scribbles that I wrote as part of preparing
The sacredness of the birth space gets a lot of coverage (as it should). We know that the presence of even one person who isn’t attuned to the mother’s feelings can stop some women’s labours. Some of us have experienced that first-h
I’ve been asked what ‘packages’ I provide as a postpartum doula. I’d love to be able to give a simple answer to that question, but the honest response is – it depends! No two postpartums are the same. What works for
Hello! 👋 As painful as it is for an introvert like myself, it’s time for a little introduction. My name is Hala. I’m a mother to a soon-to-be 1 year old boy and the face behind Mama Ummi, this little business that I’ve hatched
