The Frequency of Balance

You’re Glowing!

I am in the wonderful, joyous position right now of supporting several women through their pregnancies while also working with a few post-partum (and their stunningly cute babies!) Working with pregnant women is one of my favourite things. This time can be an emotional rollercoaster and contain heartbreak and confusion, but it is also full of euphoria and epiphanies. I don’t think any other time challenges your connection to your body and intuition in the same way. My thoughts about how best to show up for these women in my life and my reflections on my two very different pregnancies inspired this issue’s topic. Read on to hear from kinesiologist-midwife Leanne Wilder and birth doula Julie White as they each present ideas around fertility, pregnancy and beyond. The articles in the issue are intended to help with emotional regulation, nutritional ideas, and the more energetic aspect of pregnancy and conception. My hope is that all together they create a solid resource for anyone—not just those who are pregnant, but anyone supporting women through this time or considering this adventure in the future.

Thanks for reading, we’re all in this together!
