There isn’t just one reason people feel called to birth work.
For some, it comes from a desire to support others.
For others, it comes from personal experiences that made them realize how much it matters to feel held during important moments in life.
And sometimes, it’s not something that can be fully explained… just something that quietly stays with you over time.
If you’ve ever felt that pull too, you’re not alone in that.
And if it feels meaningful to you, you can learn more about our trainings. 💚
In the middle of a big transition like birth or a health journey, it’s so easy to feel like we just have to go with the flow.
But your voice matters. And it is always okay to take a breath and ask for more information.
We talk a lot about this in our trainings. We teach the techniques, yes! But we also teach the heart of advocacy. Because when you feel heard, you feel safe. And safety is where the real healing begins. 🧘♀️
Have you ever had a moment where asking a simple question changed everything for you?

Our next in-person training is happening in London, Ontario!
It’s a weekend of giving and receiving. While you’re mastering the maps of the hands and feet and refining your pressure, you’re also being nurtured by the community around you.
If you've been waiting for a chance to bring your studies into your hands and deepen your practice as you complete your practical hours, we can’t wait to see you there. 💚
Link in our bio to grab your spot in the London circle.
Join us this coming May 22. 💃
Ecstatic Dance is a free-movement space where music leads the experience, and you’re invited to simply move however you feel.
We start grounded, flow into a deeper dance journey, and gently land back into stillness and integration.
No choreography. No substances. No talking on the dance floor. No experience needed.
Just come as you are and move what you need to move.
📆 May 22, 2026 | 7:00–9:15 PM
📍 By the Moon, Belleville

Today can carry a lot of different emotions, and however you’re feeling is okay.
There’s no right way to experience Mother’s Day. Whether you are mothering children, mothering a dream, or just trying to mother yourself through a hard season, you are doing enough. You are seen. 💚
Sending so much love to all the different versions of motherhood out there today. 💐
Take a deep breath and be extra kind to yourself today. You deserve it.

These are some of the most common questions that come up for doulas in Canada.
Insurance isn’t always a requirement to practice, but many doulas choose to explore it as part of building a safe and supported foundation for their work.
Things like what type of coverage is needed, or where to actually access it, can feel confusing when you’re just starting out.
I’ve written a blog on the By The Moon website with a more detailed breakdown if you’d like to read further. Link in bio. 💚

This kind of work goes beyond curiosity.
It’s not just about learning concepts or understanding information.
It’s about learning how to be present with people through real experiences… cycles, pregnancy, transitions, and healing.
It requires grounding, awareness, and the ability to hold space without rushing or fixing.
And that’s what makes it meaningful.
Because at its core, it’s not about doing more.
It’s about learning how to be with someone, fully present. 🧘♀️💚

We’re gathering again this Friday, May 8, for our next online check-in. 💚
It’s not a class or a lecture. Just an open hour for our students and alumni to chat.
Whether you have a win to celebrate, a tricky case you want to brainstorm, or you just need to see some friendly faces, you are so welcome here. 🫶
Let’s catch up and find our rhythm together for the month ahead.

A lot of people who end up exploring Reiki don’t actually start with a plan.
It usually begins with curiosity or a personal experience that makes them start looking at healing in a different way.
And over time, it keeps showing up in their awareness until it starts to feel like something they want to understand more deeply.
For some, it’s about their own healing journey.
For others, it’s a desire to hold space for people in a more meaningful way. 💚
And if you’ve been feeling that quiet curiosity too, you don’t need to figure it all out right away.
Just give yourself permission to explore it. 🧘♀️

Pregnancy comes with so many changes… physically and emotionally. 🤰
And sometimes, even something as simple as your feet can feel overwhelmed.
Reflexology can be a gentle and supportive way to ease discomfort, reduce stress, and help the body settle during this time.
But here’s what many people don’t realize: not all reflexology is the same.
Working with pregnancy requires intention, proper training, and a deeper understanding of how the body is changing.
For moms: This means choosing someone you feel safe and supported with.
For practitioners: This is where deeper learning truly matters.
Because when it’s done well, reflexology becomes more than just a treatment.
It becomes meaningful support. 👣💚
A lot of the time, when rest doesn’t feel restful, it’s not because you’re not doing enough. It’s because your body is still carrying stress underneath the surface.
Even when you stop and try to slow down, your system might still be in a kind of alert mode, which makes it hard to fully relax or feel restored.
What can help isn’t forcing yourself to rest harder… but slowly helping your body feel safe again.
That can look like slowing things down gently, creating moments of grounding in your day, or allowing yourself support that helps your system settle instead of pushing through it. 🧘♀️
Your body isn’t working against you. It’s just asking for a different kind of care.
More tummy care 🔥
One little correction 👇
While working the transverse colon with the small rake in the video I moved under my lips... the reflection of the transverse colon is actually located above the upper lip. #imjustahuman
