My Favourite Crystals for Pregnancy, Birth + Postpartum

As a doula I bring an array of goodie in my doula bag to support the perinatal experience. In my bag you can find a cozy blanket, a tens machine, a peanut ball, chux pads, and even crystals!

Like all things, crystals vibrate at a certain frequency based on their compositional makeup. This means that crystals are beneficial in supporting energetic wellbeing as they can boost low energy, cleanse energy and release stagnant energy, and each bring unique benefits. When you place a crystal on or over the body, the energy of the crystal interacts with the energy of your body bringing calmness, healing, and peace.

Crystals radiate an energetic frequency that the body picks up and absorbs bringing a gentle healing and comfort to your pregnancy, birth + postpartum spaces.

So here we have my favourite crystals for pregnancy, birth + postpartum and why I’ve chosen each!

Rose Quartz “The Stone of Unconditional Love” supports the innate bond between mum + babe while promoting motherly instincts

Red Jasper provides stability + grounding in our inner strength throughout pregnancy while enhancing stamina throughout the body
