CELEBRATION
Here you are, at the end of your journey, or should we say at the beginning? There are no more places, no more time or movement. You no longer observe life through these external manifestations. You feel it deep within yourself. In the stillness and the silence, you feel united within yourself and with the rest of the world. Welcome this fullness and radiate.

My sweet little boy,

You are my sunshine! Since your arrival, my life has completely changed. I enjoy taking the time to watch you smile and grow. With you, my days are full.



I need a great deal of energy to accomplish all my activities. When
I am with you, there are so many things I want to accomplish. I take advantage of every instant. I feel reenergized and so very peaceful when I share precious moments with you. I also put some time aside for myself. My small corner allows me to take care of my body that changed upon your arrival. I am conscious that by taking care of the life that fills me, I am also ensuring that I am taking care of you and that I am there for you during these precious life moments that we share together while daddy is at work!

At the beginning of my pregnancy, I helped your daddy build this space for me. The stretches I do on the Espalier that make you laugh so much, make me feel good. They liberate muscles that were so solicited when I gave birth. Wood was chosen as the material to cover the walls because it matched the color of the Espalier. And you know how much I love colors that evoke nature. While you were growing in my belly, the exercise ball allowed me to stretch my body, especially my back, using gentle movements. Do you remember when I exercised using the ball? You moved a lot during these exercises. This is surely why you enjoy spending time with me in this room and why the ball amuses you so much!

My ThermoMasseur bath allows me to recharge my batteries and to pause. At night, as soon as you fall asleep peacefully, my worn-out body and muscles are relaxed by the bath’s air jets.  I often add essential oils that both calm and appease me. My bath’s shapes wrap around me and surround me. I feel at ease. I can imagine that the sense of well-being that you felt when you were wrapped and surrounded by water in my belly! When I see your toy dolphin lying on the floor, I think of you – your smiles, your tears, and all those moments we have shared together during this wonderful day! I am already dreaming of tomorrow’s activities.

This room is full of joy, of nature, and music. It is very important to me!
