Women who work with me heal their relationship with their bodies, release weight that no longer serves them, and learn to shine their light. I facilitate this by combining tools and practices I have gathered from mentors, health coaches and therapists, formal training as an energy healer and holistic health coach, and a partnership with Usana Health Sciences - the leading company in cellular nutrition.

This joyful little butterball is officially sitting up...and falling over. 😍🤣💗🧜🏼‍♀️🌹
There’s nothing better than having a sweet little mini. Happy Saturday friends!🧜🏼‍♀️🌹💗
Celebrating myself today! 🙌🏻🎉💃🏼 6 days PP vs. today. 22lbs and 12 inches (around my belly alone) released. . First I should say that PP bodies are beautiful always. And the uterus takes time to go back to its normal size, so that could have been part of it, but I also gained more weight than I was hoping, and then during the immediate PP time I gained even more weight and my belly fat stuck. . Over the last few months I’ve gotten my emotional eating back in check, am eating only the foods that my body is happy with, have been working out daily, along with other self-care practices. Also couldn’t have done it without my own support system aka @303fitchick. . This is what I teach. And you can have it too. 🧜🏼‍♀️💃🏼🏋🏼‍♀️
I’ve had 2 very different breastfeeding experiences. . My journey with Starke was incredibly challenging. I was determined to give him only breast milk (this is the health coach in me) and succeeded but it was a serious struggle for the first 4-6 months due to mouth ties. Before the release he’d nurse for 2hrs at a time with only 30 min breaks. After the release (2wo) he struggled for months to get fully back on the boob. I was breastfeeding, pumping and then giving it via bottle. It was exhausting and miserable and I did it to myself, and in the end was totally worth it for a journey that lasted 22months. . Lorelei has been easy from the beginning. I must say I was prepared this time. Before she was even born I had a tie consult scheduled (which I had to push back several times because she came so late). Her mouth ties were released at 5 days. Each day after her latch got better and better, I immediately healed, and it’s been easy breezy since, she’s 100% breast fed. It’s been such a nice change this time around. . The best thing I did for myself with both babies was get outside lactation consultant help. I realized there’s limited information the ones in hospital will give you and sought help elsewhere. If you’re in it and struggling you’re not alone and there is help. . I’m so thankful that I persevered and discovered how magical this relationship really is. Happy World Breastfeeding Week!
Emerging from the depths of the waters. Choosing to step back into my power once again but for good this time. It’s been another season of transformation. . When I was pregnant with Lorelei (as shown here) there was a ton of conflict and difficulty with Starke and once she was born I realized that I had to choose differently. In order to be the conscious parent that I desire to be I had to evolve. I had to recognize that his anger isn’t about me. It’s about him needing help but not having the emotional intelligence yet to communicate clearly. I chose to completely change how I was communicating with him. And it’s taken every ounce of my energy up until recently to harness this deep patience and move through my shit. . But here I am, feeling like I’m finally on the other side. Like I’m finally not bumping up against my glass ceiling with him all the time. And giving myself the credit and acknowledgment of all the hard work I’ve put into bettering myself as a mama. This time away here hasn’t been wasted, and nice to see you again. . PC @nicholeburnettphotography
6 months ago (almost) to the hour. Throughout my whole pregnancy I had convinced myself that her birth was going to be quick and easy...little did I know the marathon I was in store for. . I went into labor on Wednesday morning. It gradually progressed until around 4pm when my water broke. As soon as my water broke contractions stopped...like came to a screeching halt. Soon after, my doula, @gemini_daisies_75, came to see if she could help get contractions going again. We tried it all...even went for a long walk, but nothing worked, so we headed to the hospital. . When we got there I was admitted, checked (3cm), and it was confirmed that my water did indeed break (Becky thought it might have been just the forebag since I was no longer contracting). I got stuck 4 times by 2 nurses trying to find a vein for a line before having an anesthesiologist come and finally get it. Then I got up and got walking. I walked for at least another half hour, still not much was happening. . I remember thinking, why is my body failing me? It knows how to do this, why isn’t it progressing? . At this point, it’s maybe 11/12pm and I’m emotional and exhausted and not wanting to be there and needing sleep some kinda fierce. I finally get to sleep and a resident barges in, throws a bunch of questions in my face, and leaves pretty rudely. I melt down. Big sobs and tears. This isn’t how it’s supposed to be happening, I should be home, I don’t want to be here. I woke up again at 3am and finally asked my nurse, again in sobs, to help me get some sleep. She gave me an ambien and although it wasn’t a long stretch, I had a good 3-4hrs of uninterrupted sleep. . Around 10am my OB came in, I was at 5cm and not progressing much. His suggestion was to start me on pitocin. I expressed concerns about being in more pain due to my desire to not have an epidural and his response was that it would be a super low amount and once my body started kicking in on it’s own I could be taken off it. As much as I wanted a full non-medicated birth, like my son’s, it had been 18hrs since my water had broken and contractions had stopped, and I wanted the process to get going, so I said ok...

Hey! It’s been a while...in this new baby season I’ve found myself distant here. This time really has all been about them, and me, and us...the transformation continues. I have to say, if you’ve been watching my stories and have stuck around, thanks. Va((ines aren’t a light topic and most people have strong opinions about them. I share for them, for their future and their children’s future. I believe in #medicalfreedom, that where there is risk there must be choice. I believe that each parent should have the right to make these decisions before that child becomes injured, not after. I believe in doctor patient privilege and privacy. I believe in doing the research. I #believemothers. I could go on, but really...listen to the Mothers who are telling their stories...it’s not easy. Do the research. And if you value your and your children’s medical freedom, then educate yourself on what’s going on. This fight is just beginning. @believemothers
So happy to be here with this joyful babe to celebrate family. 🖤💗
