What is it like during an Osteopathy appointment? Osteopathy uses stretching and gentle balancing techniques to allow the body to achieve better alignment. We incorporate joint balancing techniques, facial stretching, organ manipulation and craniosacral...for significant injuries and pain, but also just for when your body is feeling out of whack!... If you would like to book in with Janine please do so through our website or the link in our bio www.mosspostpartum.com

You get pregnant. Happiest time of your life! Growing life is next-level amazing. Months tick by, and then baby makes their arrival Earthside. For a short time, loved ones flood over with gifts and kind words. You show off your chubby little human, amazed at your strength and ability to love harder than you ever have. But soon, you notice motherhood doesn't feel quite right. Baby cries so much. Your breasts don't produce the milk you know they are supposed to. Your breas...ts produce too much milk. Baby cries so much. Husband works. No family close by. You have scary dreams of scary things happening to baby. Sleep is a rare commodity. Baby won't settle. Baby cries so much. You are SO tired. You wish you never had baby. You want your old life back. You know you are a bad mom already. You know baby deserves a better mom than you. You know your toddler and gradeschooler deserve a mom who can "handle it". You know your husband deserves a wife who can "handle it". Your legs are not broken. You do not have cancer. You weren't in a car accident. But the illness inside your brain screams for the help and support and care others would offer if you were. There is no shame in asking for help - in saying "motherhood doesn't feel quite right". In saying "I don't feel okay today". In saying "I need help - a nap or a lasagna or a shower or just help with the kids". I have a favour to ask of you - instead of buying a new mama (first time mama or 5th time mama) an expensive onesie, diaper bag, or nursing cover - offer to make her dinner instead (or order in). Offer to clean her home. Laundry or dishes or toilets - please. Offer to get the mail or run to Costco or renew the car registrations. Ask her if she needs a nap or a shower. Creating a life comes with so many emotions, and sometimes the first instinct is to reject help because we should be able to "handle it" - but so many times, we can't. #Repost @bowsandbentos #BellLetsTalk #PostPartumAnxiety #PostPartumDepression #PostPartumOCD #breakthestigma #mentalhealth #postpartumjourney #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #postpartumhealth See more

But it feels just too heavy today We are thinking of you all today and we love you xx From your Moss family. @couples.counseliing.for.parents

It’s Called Languishing...... Languishing is the neglected middle child of mental health. It’s the void between depression and flourishing the absence of well-being. You don’t have symptoms of mental illness, but you’re not the picture of mental health either. You’re not functioning at full capacity. Languishing dulls your motivation, disrupts your ability to focus, and triples the odds that you’ll cut back on work. It appears to be more common than major depression and i...n some ways, it may be a bigger risk factor for mental illness. many people who weren’t depressed also weren’t thriving. His research suggests that the people most likely to experience major depression and anxiety disorders in the next decade aren’t the ones with those symptoms today. They’re the people who are languishing right now. And new evidence from pandemic health care workers in Italy shows that those who were languishing in the spring of 2020 were three times more likely than their peers to be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Last summer, the journalist Daphne K. Lee tweeted about a Chinese expression that translates to revenge bedtime procrastination. She described it as staying up late at night to reclaim the freedom we’ve missed during the day. I’ve started to wonder if it’s not so much retaliation against a loss of control as an act of quiet defiance against languishing. It’s a search for bliss in a bleak day, connection in a lonely week, or purpose in a perpetual pandemic.

Craniosacral is great for mama's and babies alike! It's a gentle balancing of the cranial bones and cerebrospinal fluid. In babies this can be beneficial right after delivery as the cranial bones are trying to decompress and naturally move into their correct position. In adults this is beneficial after any injuries and accidents....but also just after stressful periods that cause headaches, shoulder and neck pain, jaw clenching and anxiety!
