In order for a woman to leave her initial postpartum period feeling strong emotionally and physically, she needs to be receiving care from her community. ⠀⠀ That can be her partner, extended family, friends, neighbors, bodyworkers, chiropractors, physical therapists, midwives, energy workers, therapists, doulas, and any postpartum care provider who will provide her with loving touch, unconditional support, a listening nonjudgmental ear, and acceptance. ⠀⠀ I am building my list of local care providers who can support my clients along side me so as a community we can help these women to be the mothers they are meant to be and in turn they will bring change, love and a positive new generation to our community.

Much needed morning herbal support in my coffee elixir today. Just 3 pumps is helping to relieve my agitation from waking before the sun because #cosleeping. 🌕 My son woke from a bad dream before dawn, demanded boobies, nursed, cried, felt better and wouldn’t go back to sleep. So that meant I couldn’t go back to sleep. He cuddled for almost an hour but was too fidgety for me to sleep. So I’m a little 😤. This mama likes her sleep. 🌕 So plant rescue it is, Emotional Ally is one of my favs. It eases the tension, lightens my mood, and feels like a hug from a friend. So thankful for @wishgardenherbs tinctures in my life. (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXGMFWjSRP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jmk9uo4qk775

I used to think of herbs as packaged herbal tea and things to add flavor to food. Now that I have developed a deep connection to plants, their power and strengths, I love using these plant allies daily to help me be my best self. 🌿 I use @wishgardenherbs tinctures to help improve my mood when I’m feeling down, help me get super deep sleep at night and keep my immune system so strong. 🌿 I love sharing this amazing medicine with my clients and opening their world up to the benefits of herbal medicine as well. I give each placenta or postpartum client a few sample bottles, some info and coupons to learn more. Once you try them, you’ll be hooked! 🌿 What herbal medicines do you use for yourself or family??? ⠀⠀ . . . . ⠀⠀ #herbalmedicine #herbalinfusion #wishgardenherbs #postpartumdoula #holisticmama (at Tucson Placenta Encapsulation)

Usually I talk about the benefits of having a well-balanced 4th trimester but I think it’s important to know the downside to not having nourishment and rest during the 4th trimester. It helps you make an informed decision. 🔺 It is believed in many cultures that how we treat our bodies, our emotions, and our time during the sacred period of the 4th trimester will determine how gracefully we age and how strong our immune system is. 🔺 If the focus is on losing weight, getting out of the house as much as possible, getting back to your old life as quickly as possible, not resting, not eating nourishing foods that strengthen the immune system, then the result could be a very compromised body that is prone to sickness. 🔺 You could be more prone to getting the flu every year and every cold that goes around. You could also be much more likely to develop chronic conditions like autoimmune disease. Of course there is no study to prove this just anecdotal evidence from thousands of years of ancient medicine from women all around the world. Which I believe is much more powerful than a study that can be swayed to give the results that they want. 🔺 I challenge you to look back at how you treated your body and your mind during your last postpartum period! Did you rest a lot, eat warm nourishing foods, and acknowledge all of the emotions that you were going through? Or did you focus on losing the weight and getting back to your old life? Did you feel supported, loved, well healed and ready for motherhood? And then after considering that, look at your current state of health. How strong do you feel your immune system is currently? Are you struggling with an autoimmune condition? Not trying to place any shame or judgment, just trying to get you thinking about how those two things are connected. Maybe do some journaling or introspection about that. Especially if you’re pregnant and going to be going through this again soon. . . #postpartumsupport #postpartumdoula #postpartumbody #postpartumfitness #postpartumdepression #postpartumweightloss #postpartumjourney #postpartumrecovery #postpartumhealth #postpartumanxiety #lyingin #4thtrimester #3rdtrimester #newmom #holistichealth (at Tucson Placenta Encapsulation)

Have you ever created something you thought was only a dream? I did. ⠀⠀ Have you ever wished you could reach a certain goal but had so many doubts you never made it? ⠀⠀ I did. Many times. ⠀⠀ But not anymore. Now I am a manifesting babe. I am creating a life I love and I’d love to help you do the same! ⠀⠀ This might look like basic home decor but this was my sign from the universe that I asked for. I made my intentions clear and I told my angels that when I find the right home to move to, there will be an elephant. You wouldn’t believe how loud I screamed when I saw this elephant standing in my dream home. 🐘✨ ⠀⠀ Want to manifest your dream life?

Until this year, I’ve spent my whole adult life searching for love and happiness. ⠀⠀ I fully believed that once I found the “right” man, relationship, job, amount of money, body size, or place to live then I would have the happiness I was searching for. ⠀⠀ But over the past 12 months I have done so much deep soul work and have become a new woman. Just recently I realized that I haven’t had that urge to go look for love in quite a while. Want to know why? ⠀⠀ I found it. I found the love and happiness I was looking for. And you wouldn’t believe where I found it. ⠀⠀ Right here. Now. In this moment. ⠀⠀ I have never ending love for myself, more love them any lover could give me. I walk a path paved in love. I feel more whole then I ever imagined I could or knew was possible. ⠀⠀ . . . . ⠀⠀ #createthelifeyouwant #findingjoy #positivevibes #spiritjunkie #theuniversehasyourback #witchymama #femalepreneur #womenwithambition #dreamersandoers #womenwholead #manifestyourdreams #youaremagic #vibrationalenergy #lawofattraction #selfgrowth #manifestyourlife #positiveliving #raiseyourvibration #healthymindset #manifestation #manifest #youarepowerful #powerofthemind #peacefulwarrior #motherhoodunplugged #manifestationbabe #spiritualentrepreneur #soulpreneur #wellpreneur #abundancemindset (at Tucson, Arizona)

Preparing for birth is natural during pregnancy but I don’t know that you can really prepare for birthing the mother within you. No matter how much you read about the emotional and spiritual journey into motherhood, there just is no comparison to experiencing it. ⠀⠀ For myself it did help to read books like The Continuum Concept which helped me connect meaning to the ancestral needs and desires I felt as a mother. ⠀⠀ It helped me understand why I craved being taken care of. It helped me see how important it is to be physically close to my baby during those first few months and that I wasn’t being overprotective. It also sparked a flame of passion within me that is still driving me to assist other women during this time in their own lives. ⠀⠀ What books help inspire your mothering journey? ⠀⠀ . . . . #postpartumjourney #4thtrimester #postpartumdoula #mothering #becomingamom #motherhoodunplugged #eternalmotherhood #motherhoodrising #unitedinmotherhood #joyfulmamas #motherhoodsimplified #nestlingly #ig_motherhood #postpartum #birth #divinefeminine #spiritualjourney #ipreview #continuumconcept #peacefulparenting (at Tucson Placenta Encapsulation)

Double tap if you could use an hour of relaxation to yourself! This is where I go almost every Friday for about 35 minutes in the infrared sauna. 🧖‍♀️ Then I have a shower and dressing area all to myself. It feel deeply relaxing like a massage, the sauna detoxes your body through sweat without over heating you and it’s totally private. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m considering doing a giveaway for your first infrared sauna session free. Who’s interested???

Happy July! I am available for placenta and doula work all month!! And like my colleague @tkc_placenta said, you don’t want to be that woman who says, “I wish I would have hired you.” — I can say from personal experience That I wish I had hired someone to do my placenta and also I wish I had created a tincture. I would be using that tincture on a regular basis whenever I felt hormonal and balances or PMS. — I can help you as much as possible to find alternatives if you did not have your placenta encapsulated but it just doesn’t compare to the healing benefits of your own body’s medicine. — If you are pregnant, I hope you will do a little research about encapsulation. I have a blog on my site listing ALL the pros and cons and I am always available to answer any questions you have! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . #tucson #tucsonmoms #tucsonblogger #tucsonaz #tucsonarizona #northwesthospital #newmom #laboranddelivery #placentapills #placentaencapsulation #sahuarita #maranaaz #orovalleyaz #whyilovewhereilive #preggo #postpartum #4thtrimester #tucsonplacentaencapsulation (at Tucson Placenta Encapsulation)

I don’t believe we are meant to do this alone. Motherhood. We are biologically created to crave connection and from what I see, in order to thrive we require community. — I know it’s easier said than done, but it is vital to our survival as strong women that we create a tribe around us if we don’t already have one. — I’m sure you’ve had that feeling before after spending time with good friends, you go back to your family feeling refreshed, joyful, playful and just happier person. My goal is to help my clients have that feeling on a regular basis so we create simple ways to schedule mom time, we work on accepting and asking for help, and practicing gratitude for what we have. — Tag a mom in your tribe that you are thankful for! . . . . . #momlifestyle #thatsdarling #momlifeisthebestlife #momblog #motherhoodunplugged #eternalmotherhood #unitedinmotherhood #motherhoodrising #joyfulmamas #bestofmom #abmlifeiscolorful #liveauthentic #thehappynow #mybeautifulmess #inbeautyandchaos #motherhoodsimplified #nestlingly #ohheymamas #ig_motherhood #habitandhome #raiseyourvibration #healthymindset #selfgrowth #positiveliving (at Tucson, Arizona)

I am genuinely so thrilled to be providing postpartum doula work to women in Tucson! This has been such a passion for me and I am proud of myself for finally being brave enough to start offering this service. :: In the most basic terms, a postpartum doula is someone to help with daily tasks around the home while a new mother rests and takes care of herself and her new baby. But the specifics of what a postpartum doula may offer can vary by their experience, training, and interests. :: For me personally, I am passionate about nutrition, processing the emotions around your birth experience, letting your body rest and heal, and cultivating support from your community so these are the areas I focus on with my clients. But I also do basic housework, care for older children, run errands, do grocery shopping, hold the baby while you shower, and do plenty of research to answer your questions. :: You can click the link in my profile to read more about my passions as a postpartum doula and where I will be focusing my business. . . . . . #tucson #tucsonmoms #tucsonblogger #tucsonaz #tucsonarizona #northwesthospital #newmom #laboranddelivery #placentapills #placentaencapsulation #sahuarita #maranaaz #orovalleyaz #whyilovewhereilive #preggo #postpartum #4thtrimester #tucsonplacentaencapsulation #postpartumdoula #postpartum #doula (at Tucson Placenta Encapsulation)

To be honest when I first made bone broth and tried it, I was not a fan. I might’ve even gagged a little. But that was many years ago, many batches of bone broth ago. I have perfected my craft of creating a delicious satisfying cup now. . I also found that it is an easy replacement for protein in a meal and it has definitely improved my immune health because I rarely get sick and when I do it’s only a day or two. I believe in this miracle drink so much that I now offer it to new moms to have delivered warm and ready to drink when I deliver their placenta pills. .. ..
