Placenta Encapsulation.
Saying it out loud makes a lot of people squirm.
Trust me! Introducing myself to people and saying "I'm a doula and Postpartum Placenta Specialist!" You would think I had just said that I'm secretly an animorph (which would be awesome btw!)

There are truly no words to describe the belonging and feeling of love that I received when I entered Om Prana Yoga studio. I had the amazing opportunity to attend a prenatal yoga class at Om Prana Yoga and it was an absolute blast! The location is a mix of old world charm and yoga serenity with architecture that filled me with love for the beautiful little town of Parkville. It was such a cool location and I couldn't help but ogle!
I was immediately embraced by Wendy, the owner and founder of the studio and introduced to the class of very pregnant women! Tiffany, the prenatal yoga teacher helped us to feel relaxed, soothed and comfortable during the session and even though I'm not pregnant, I was able to refocus and become more grounded after a crazy week!
After the session I had the opportunity to sit down with Wendy and chat about where she has been and her hopes for Om Prana Yoga and prenatal/postpartum care in the Northland.
I thought I was invincible.

I thought I would share some wisdom with you on how to NOT get sunburnt at an amusement park and have a great time doing it!

It's been a rough summer. We have given the "trust" talk more than I can count, endured screaming fits of anguish, temper tantrums abound, and finally a calm recognition that it may not be fun, but it's necessary to learn to swim.
How is Parenting like swimming lessons?
