I am back! I have one series lined up with SER YMCA and working on another with Cura Ortho PT. I am nervous and eager to get back to teaching after a very tumultuous post partum period. I definitely have more experience to bring to my students. I hope I get to see you and your baby in one of my classes!!

Hi All! It has been a wild ride the last few weeks. It is true, no pregnancy is the same....

Sydney Mierop Wellness is officially on hiatus until February 2024. I will periodically check messages but will likely not be fulfilling any orders or leading any pre or post-partum series until the new year.

Thank you to all who have supported my work the last year it has been a blessing to see so many mommas have empowering births and see their little cuties.

Started my pregnancy blend tea on Sunday. It's getting closer....this tea is a nourishing mix of nettle, red raspberry leaf, lemon verbena, rose hips, and oatstraw.

On my journey for a VBAC I'm going to see if the tea helps me go into labor naturally this time around.

All the while, I am accepting that in my labyrinth journey of pregnancy and motherhood, there are many gates I still have to pass through. So as I prepare the best I can, I am also practicing mental and emotional flexibility around my birth.

DM if you are interested in a tea order! Business will be on hiatus November - January.

Two offerings coming up! One five week series in Garner with starting in September and a six week series in Raleigh with .

I love pregnancy dreams. I personally believe dreams are messages to interpret. Birth and motherhood are big, so no wonder we have lots of dreams as we navigate this rite of passage.
Yesterday I dreamed I was beside a dark ocean and a shark fin appeared, it was terrifying to me at the surface. I didn't want to fall in or be anywhere close to the edge.
Then I went into a room made of glass where I could see the ocean from below. It was quiet and calm. At first it was murky and I was cautious. But slowly, I got the courage to approach the glass and put my face against it to see into the water.
Suddenly the water was very clear. I realized how close I was to the animals. There were schools of fish and sharks swimming peacefully. I was in awe, but still had an edge of fear. Then a whale shark swam by the glass. Called by her uniqueness and sheer size, I wanted to be near her. I placed my hands on the glass and the shark approached. Looking me in the eyes, she placed her fins on my hands that were resting at the base of the glass wall.
Suddenly, I could feel the texture of her skin through the wall, as though we were holding hands. I could understand the whale.. She gave me a sense of smiling, peace, and welcoming. She let me know I was safe. "The water's warm!" was the attitude she gave. It was beautiful.
Change is scary. Creating change when it is needed can be even scarier. You have the choice to stay and only see the dark fearful water ahead, or you can examine it up close and see what is actually in front of you. Whale sharks symbolize transformation and opportunity. They are intimidating and large, but gentle and peaceful creatures.
I know exactly what medicine was there for me in my dream. If you find something here, I encourage you to contemplate that.
Crossing the threshold into motherhood is an unknown and transformative rite of passage. It may seem murky and scary, but there is a whole community waiting to greet and hold you on the other side.

Exciting news! I will be getting my Postpartum doula training in October. Looking forward to offering services for prenatal and postpartum mommas in 2024!

A little sneak peak of my herbal recipes in the works.
🌿❇️
Passion flower.
Her flowers are a work of art. Her medicine is subtle and sweet. A great antidote for sleeplessness, anxiety, or high stress days.
A native.
A favorite.
A must have for the apothecary.....

My first ever pop up flower shop is tomorrow. Three years of day dreaming and sweaty garden days finally coming to light.

Being plus size and pregnant can be hard. No, your belly may not be round, people may judge you and think you aren't healthy, you may feel unworthy of pregnancy progress photos.....

But let's just take a moment and get our heads straight. Every day you grow life inside your womb. You are just as capable of being a loving mother as anyone else. People who associate fat with unhealthy are ignorant, that's okay, release their bs and know your truth.

Doctors may shame you, again, release their bs and maybe find an obgyn or midwife that understands HAES and will work with you for the birth you desire, despite your physical size.

Rock the belly, let it hang. For real. Use this time to heal your negative relationship with your belly, your hips, your b***s, your arms....all of those pieces of you are growing and holding your pregnancy. Your hips will support you as your birth, and if you choose, your breasts will be nourishment for your new baby. It's hard to love something we are taught to hate. Do what you can to limit cruel self talk and appreciate your body for its power.

Know that you are not alone. I say all this as I work through it myself. Congratulations on your pregnancy. You are loved and seen.

Pregnancy and birth are truly a magical time, especially if we can balance the practical planning and box checking with mindfulness of the subtle shifts of the body and spirit. Birth is a rite of passage. It requires strength and reverence for the power inside each woman on the journey.

My birth series is a mix of the practical and the subtle. A community to find your inner strength and an understanding of your body and how you want to birth. No, we can't be fully prepared, but taking the time to sit with our fears, share our excitement, and physically prepare the pelvis for birth can be incredibly valuable for a fulfilling birth experience.

I hope you can join me at Cura Ortho this summer. Link to register can be found in my linktree in bio. Look for Cura Ortho 5 week summer series.

So excited to be offering a five-week Prenatal Yoga series with Cura Ortho in Garner, NC. I'm offering a special summer rate that is hard to beat and the first five to register will receive a free gift! Registration closes June 1st. Please reach out with any questions you have.

Two projects, two very different outcomes....so many good garden soul lessons learned...
I was angry after digging up my weedy garden. I was ready to quit and go inside and watch Netflix and sulk. I sat on the ground and just stared at the disaster I had created....But my daughter crept into the garden and began to explore. She found pebbles and worms. She got her feet in the soil and threw big clouds of dirt and giggles. She saw something there I couldn't see or feel...her little toddler soul not only accepted the mess, but celebrated it...
A day later, thinking on it...I know to make a garden there are stages of mess and unpredictability. You uproot the old, you patiently wait for fruit and flowers, you watch things end their seasons and turn back to soil. It's dirt, sweat, and time. It is a place for me to watch life and better understand my own human nature...
So, like my sweet girl, I want to spend this season celebrating the messy unsettling parts of my life. I can feel the hum of anxiety and unease. The urge for quick changes. The urge to just cover things up and let them lie... To quit because it isn't perfect or finished. Instead I will try to keep reminding myself that out of chaotic piles of dirt comes fruit and flowers. You must have the mess to appreciate the beauty. And sometimes the mess is the beauty.....

A little tincture bottling today. 🌿..
Motherwort for nerves
Passionflower for sleep
Elcampane for circulatory and respiratory
Echinacea for immune.
I was patiently awaiting my motherwort and passion flower. I'm looking forward to trying it tonight for some good sleep...

Another great opportunity for birth prep! You don't have to be a member to attend.

I'm so excited about the themse and really hope we can get a solid group together.

I will be hosting a 6 week prenatal series at the SE Raleigh YMCA beginning in February. The class series is included with membership, but nonmembers may also enroll. I'm getting really excited planning out each week's focus and theme. My hope is for students to gain confidence for birth and voicing their needs throughout pregnancy and birth while also gaining valuable tools in pain management. The movements in each class assist with balancing the pelvic girdle to help with a smoother birth experience. We will learn some helpful positions for birth and also spend some time setting intention for each student's birth story and transition into parenthood. Please share out with pregnant folks in your circles. It is definitely better suited for 2nd and third trimesters, but any trimester pregnancy is welcomed.

Really excited for this upcoming collaboration with Peak Performance Sports & Physical Therapy in Garner. Reach out with questions, and please share.

Students will learn pain management skills, prepare their pelvic girdle and hips for birth, and spend time bonding with the life growing inside. This class is for anyone and is not just designed for those choosing unmedicated birth. The skills learned are applicable to any birth plan and I truly believe this class will be a wonderful time for each student to find community and set intention for their birth and postpartum life phases.

Each class will be infused with birth education, opportunity for rest and mindfulness, and poses tailored to each student's unique needs. This is an ideal class for parents in their second and third trimesters but is open to all trimesters. This class is not meant to be a substitute for a birth class but is a great supplement!
