Poppy + Marigold Doula Services

Affirmations are powerful! Whether in labor or on a day that ends in Y, affirmations are a reminder of the power and beauty you possess. I invite you to see how these affirmations may fit into your day!

It's time for another fun fact about the Doula! My first birth experience was my own, when I welcomed my sweet girl, Hannah, in to the world!

What's a fun fact about you?!

Don't forget, I have a giveaway running! This birth plan session is valued at $50...but can you really put a price on peace of mind?

There will be two winners chosen: one when my Instagram reaches 100 followers, and another for my page! Follow both for two chances to win!

Did you know today is ✨National Relaxation Day?✨ It is!

Try this simple exercise for muscle relaxation. Begin by tensing all the muscles in a particular muscle group - for instance, tense every muscle available to you in your face, then slowly relax. Next, move to your neck and shoulders. Tense, relax.

This increases awareness of where the body holds tension and encourages release!

The football hold 🏈 is a wonderful choice! By holding the baby alongside the parent's body and cradling their sweet little head in the same-side hand, the parent can position and correct baby's latch while still getting in those cozy snuggles. The other hand remains free to position the breast - super helpful with a brand new babe! 🥰

NOTE FROM THE DOULA: When nursing my youngest, this was my favorite hold!

I am VERY excited to announce that I have partnered with Be Her Village and you can now add me to your registry! Be Her Village allows parents-to-be to crowd fund their birth services, including doulas.

Family and friends can chip in as they wish! Visit me here: https://behervillage.com/partners/poppyandmarigolddoulaservicesllc

...and maybe a backup to the backup 🙃

This tip was passed on to me when I was pumping for my NICU baby and it was invaluable! Pumping can be a daunting process, but positive comfort associations can make it easier ❤
