Yesterday night at the screening of the doco Birth Yesterday night at the screening of the doco Birth Time. Everybody should watch it. It's about families, women, children. It's about culture, politics, human rights. It's about the system, society, patriarchy and feminism. It's about me and you. It's about all of us!

They must know that the invisible string, known as attachment, is still there, even when they sleep. They must know that if they wake up feeling scared and alone, that they can follow that invisible string all the way back to their secure base. Only when they fully trust the reliability of that string, will they truly feel comfortable and safe transitioning to their own room.” J.

#Repost @birthwisewellington • • • • • • Welcome, Dulce! ✨ Dulce // She/Her // Educator // Māmā Dulce is the newest Educator to join the team this year at Birth Wise. She is also the skill and heart behind @motherly.hug and is a postpartum doula and a holistic sleep consultant 😴 And so far she is loving everything about BW and feels honoured to have joined a team of such wonderful women and to facilitate such a well thought out antenatal course. Dulce is from Florianópolis, Brazil, and is a mum to two children who are 9 and 7. When she met her husband in her hometown 13 years ago - a Brazilian living in NZ, it was love at the first sight and that's when she knew Aotearoa would forever be part of her life ❤️ She's been lucky enough to live in 5 different countries around the world: Brazil, Israel, Spain, England and New Zealand. So when we say she speaks Portuguese, English, Spanish (all three fluently), a bit of French, te reo Māori and Hebrew you won't be surprised. "Multiculturality nurtures my soul as well as going to places where I've never been before." The deep love for maternal health care came when Dulce was pregnant with her first child while living in Wellington. She began to study pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Dulce actually graduated in Law, and her inclination has always been in the area of human rights - "the matter of women’s and children’s rights has always moved me". Fast forward a few years and here she is a postpartum doula, holistic sleep consultant and now a Birth Wise Educator. We feel so lucky to have her on our team!  Being a sweet tooth you can easily please her with a bit of choccy and drink of choice the probiotic superhero kombucha! And fun fact - Dulce was a belly dancer for 20 years and even taught here in NZ, but gave it up "officially" 3 years ago 💃🏻 She now shares her love for singing with others on the Wellington Community Choir and can even risk a song or two on the guitar. Music and dance are in her blood 🎶 And to sum it all up her top 2 noteworthy TV watches - Downton Abbey and Vikings. "They are completely different from one another, but I am an eclectic person!". It sounds like you'll fit in perfe
Happy Easter, everybody! In my house we have the Happy Easter, everybody! In my house we have the Easter tradition of saving egg shells, painting them, filling them with delicious sweets, and hiding them for children to find on Easter Sunday! Children love it! Do you have an Easter tradition in your family? 🐇🥚🐇🥚🐇🥚🐇🥚

Let's talk about sensory needs! Children have them Let's talk about sensory needs! Children have them since they're born! And having their sensory needs attended to is one of the things we make sure is happening in our sleep consulting process! Children sleep better when they have all their needs met, including sensory ones! 🧡 📷 My daughter just the other day in our one on one time! 💛
If you have more than one child, do you try to hav If you have more than one child, do you try to have one on one time with them sometimes? I don't actually try, but I make the most of my opportunities. So every week, while Isadora is in her musical theatre class, Caio and I do something together. And while Caio is at soccer practice, it's my time with Isadora! This week Caio and I had a picnic (crackers and watermelon only - I make it easy!), and Isadora and I visited a park for the first time! We have just one hour, but it's so worth it! Children who feel well connected to their parents sleep better, and having one on one time with them is a great way to fill up their "love tank"!
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY I thank the women HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY I thank the women that came before me and I hope to make a difference to the women who are coming after me, as we still have a long way to go until we're fully valued and respected.
