Natural Induction? An Oxymoron
One of the questions I get asked most often is: “How can I naturally induce myself? I want this baby out!” I hear you. You’re tired. You’re uncomfortable. You may even be feeling pressure from your care provider about induction timing or risks. But here’s the reality: 👉 There is no such thing as a natural induction.

Herbs for Postpartum Recovery
As a birth worker who has attended countless births over the past 10 years, I've recognized the lack in postpartum care and a lack in the resources available to women. The idea to create a postpartum box came to me when I was attending births as a birth assistant, helping moms set up their v-steaming area and blending their herbs. I started to see a need for other healing tools to go along with the vaginal steaming, like herbal massage oils, teas, tinctures and bath salts. Ta

What Do These Symptoms Mean?!
Womb healing gets VERY deep. If you have ever ordered a custom blend from me, you know the intake form asks some pretty DEEP questions. I ask these intimate questions because our wombs literally communicate with us through these symptoms. The more we ignore the messages, the louder the symptoms become. Everything is spiritual first, physical second. When determining what herbs to use in custom blends, I take into consideration the physical symptoms as well as their spiritual

Blending Custom Teas At Home!
Living more intentionally often means being more aware about what we are consuming. Drinking tea is an amazing way to prevent illness and cure it. With that being said, not all teas are created equal. Have you ever wondered about the quality of the tea bags you buy in grocery stores? When I first started blending my own teas, I found that store bought teas in tea bags often contain lower quality tea leaves that have been finely cut into small pieces known as "fannings" or "du
