About me
I am the mother of a 22-month-old daughter and I'm a Postpartum Doula, living in Copenhagen Denmark.
Before becoming pregnant I had the strongest of boundaries, taking good care of myself as a yoga teacher and studio owner. It wasn’t always like this, I burned out fast 7 years ago and had to learn these lessons on what I needed and when. I believed I could use those same practices from the same toolbox when I became a mother. I was wrong.
Motherhood changed everything for me. Within a month of the journey, I realized I was losing myself. My partner and family would help carve out some time for myself but when I was left alone to “self-care” I would have zero tools that felt appropriate. My body was new, my mind felt foggy, my nervous system was wondering how my daughter was and emotionally I was all over the place.
I realized I couldn’t go back and use the same tools because I was no longer that same person. Everything online felt trivial and impossible in my new role, and nothing spoke to a mother's lifestyle. I've spent months refining, practicing, gathering and diving into what I feel is true “self-care” for mothers.
Today, I am committed to guiding and supporting other mothers with me on this journey. As we learn what really taking care of ourselves looks like in our reality of motherhood. Together we can self mother and model to our families and children what self-care feels like.
