The Forward-leaning Inversion!
“Create room in the lower uterus. Baby will use that space, with the natural pull of gravity, to snuggle into a more ideal position for birth.”

It’s the end of Apple season AND all our sweet October babies have made their way earthside! We’ve been busy this fall holding space and helping all our strong amazing clients welcome their babies in their own ways! We feel pretty lucky getting to do this job ☺️ Thanks for inviting us into your homes! We are also realizing we have one more spot for a March birth if you are expecting or know someone, send them our way!

It’s so important to talk with your kiddos about racism but it can be hard. If you need help starting the conversation (and missed the Sesame Street post a couple days ago or your kids are older) here’s an article of how to be honest yet age appropriate and some book recommendations to start reading with your kid.
In our house, my kids hear the adults talking about current news or hear it in the car on NPR so this has always opened the door to more explanations and conversations. We’ve also been able to find small, local family friendly protests (where we wear masks and keep far apart) where my kids are able to make their own signs and really feel like they are standing up and a part of pushing for what is right. We continue talking about our donations being made and other things we can continue to do to support Black Lives matter.
We invite you to start the conversation and/or continue it with your kiddo. We’ll try to keep posting ways that are helpful for young families to learn and take a stand.

These Books Can Help You Explain Racism and Protest to Your Kids The conversation about race needs to start early and keep happening.
