Support is crucial when you are at your lowest point

Today I wanted to discuss support. Support when you are at your lowest.

I was just on the precibus of creating my own midwifery practice, I had clients, I was supporting them through pregnancy and beyond, I had repeat clients, but this was actually not my path. I thought it was. I was being led through to another path, a different path with lessons to learn along the way. It was a hard deep dive journey with many deep dark areas.

It wasn’t for the faint hearted. It was the journey to my soul work, my work I was put on this planet to fulfill.

Part of this was the deepest hardest time in my life. Navigating post natal depression.

I had an amazing support network, beautiful sweet girls, a loving husband, an amazing mum, family and great friends, but I was deeply alone. This was a path I needed to navigate and it took all my strength to release myself of this issue that bound me up for so long.

I had to navigate fear, guilt, comparison and so many other issues. You know some of these I have only just overcome in the last few years.

It was at my lowest, I learnt my strength and my core beliefs.

I am a community builder, I care deeply, I nurture and I love to share my healing tips I have learnt.

At this time my mind was so mushy I had nothing to give, I couldn’t even decide where to begin cleaning the house or what type of nappy to put on my baby, let alone anything else.

I remember driving away one day, not knowing where I was going, but I needed space. It was at this point services were put in place to support our family, particularly a tresillian out reach and of course my doctor who saw me daily. That’s right he wanted to check in on me daily, at least. I refused medication but sought the use of homeopathics from my wonderful homeopath. I used a remedy called sepia.( Cuttlefish.). This remedy really supported me and led me to continue to explore outside the realm of western medicine.

Part of my recovery was a sense of purpose. My boss saw this within me, and actually created a job in delivery suite for me. To say I was absolutely grateful just didn’t even begin to cut how I was really feeling at her decision to believe in me. Her door was always open to me and she began to give me opportunities to advance my skills, but heal at the same time.

This was the time I learnt about kinesiology. I learnt about alternative remedies and began using essential oils. I was part of the pilot program for post natal depression in my area.

I began to heal and learn to love me more.

I must admit I could never have done this without my support team. I was extremely needy.

Today, I would have handled this much differently. I would have leaned into the power of essential oils, particularly the purest company I have ever known Doterra.

There are so many beautiful oils that support emotions, anxiousness unworthiness, low mood.

If this part of my life resonates with you let me know, I would love to chat more.
