Because really, you don’t have to put up with period pain to begin with.

1. Balance your blood sugar
Protein with every meal. No more coffee + carbs mornings.

2. Clear estrogen properly
Daily bowel movements, fiber, bitter foods, cruciferous veggies.

3. Lower your toxic + inflammatory load
Ditch synthetic fragrances, reduce plastics, prioritize omega-3s + magnesium.

Use clary calm all month, rather than just before periods, it’s even better!!

Do you use these two for periods pain relief?

Lavender has a special place in my heart.

This story is one of the reasons that made me choose to share these oils with everyone, especially moms, over a decade ago. It’s been a while since I shared it so I’m posting it here!

Several years ago, something started happening to our daughter that made us realize, 💩 💩, even the big hospitals in Toronto don’t know what to do. We’re on our own.

The first time it happened, the school sent her to the hospital in an AMBULANCE.

She was hyperventilating, but hold on.

It was the strangest thing. It’s like she was sneezing and coughing at the same time, could barely breathe and she couldn’t stop. For about 30min at a time.

It would hit at random times. I remember watching her cross country race as she’s always been an athlete, and she didn’t get to the finish line. I panicked and ran the course backwards. Sure enough, she was on the ground and it was happening again.

The first hospital said it’s a virus.

The second hospital said allergy

The family doctor said it’s stress, give her chamomile tea

The last hospital said I think it’s anxiety.

But that’s it. Nothing we could do about it.

I was new to Natural Intelligence 🤩 aka, essential oils at the time but I remember my friend saying Lavender is like Ativan. Two drops and boom, stress comes down.

The next time it happened, I put lavender in my hand and cupped over her mouth.

It stopped within SECONDS!!!

So it was anxiety, but modern medicine didn’t have a solution for her. Not that I would have ever put her on SSRIs but thankfully that was never suggested.

It was so simple. Drops of pure, pharmaceutical grade lavender, she could use it as needed, didn’t cause addictions or side effects.

Just the power of Linalool, an amazing calming plant compound found in high concentration in high quality lavender.

She used Lavender a few mores times when it happened and it stopped happening.

That story fuelled me to tell other moms about these oils.

Every mom should feel as empowered as I did in that moment!

Diffusing doTERRA Serenity Restful Blend at night and using the roller on our wrists and neck, is on of those things that’s as routine as brushing our teeth.

Here’s why it works so well…

Your sense of smell has a direct line to your brain’s emotional and sleep center (the limbic system).

So when those compounds from lavender, cedarwood, marjoram hit that pathway…they don’t just “smell relaxing”

They shift your nervous system out of alert mode.

Our heart rate softens and breathing slows to mimic sleep 😴
Your body gets the signal: it’s safe to sleep now

And here’s the part I love…

Your brain starts associating that scent with sleep over time.
Like a switch.

You diffuse it → your body starts winding down faster, naturally.

It’s simple (and it smells amazing!!) but biologically… it’s powerful.

What’s your favourite oil for sleep? 💤

Unlike chemical sunscreen, mineral sunscreens don’t absorb UV rays, they reflect UV rays.

What I like about it is that the ingredients don’t break down in the sun and create free radicals and get absorbed in the blood stream.

Exposure to sun (unprotected) is needed! But not all day on the beach. Being burned to the crisp is not my idea of fun.

Last week in Florida I used the doTerra Suncare face and body lotion, only reapplied a couple times after swimming and didn’t burn at all.

It only contains clean ingredients, and bonus: it won’t leave you looking like a ghost as some mineral sunscreen tend to do.

Just protects and nourishes your skin without poisoning you 👌🏼

Over the last few years, I’ve grown to be quite fascinated with our nervous system.

What it takes to bring back balance when it feels like no amount of rest can stop the racing thoughts and the constant feeling of being on edge.

I could give a very comprehensive protocol for someone that’s really stuck in fight or flight.

But these are the 2 things I would start with.

Movement and the Adaptiv System.

Here’s why.

You can go to bed earlier.
Take a relaxing weekend.
Read a book.

But your nervous system doesn’t just need rest… it also needs movement.
Physical movement. A workout. A walk.
That’s how your body processes and releases stress.

When we’re stressed, our body releases things like adrenaline and cortisol which is our system getting ready for action.

But that’s supposed to be followed by movement.
If you don’t move, those stress signals just stay circulating.

We try to get rid of it mentally, think, overthink, rest, wondering why we feel tense and overstimulated.

I am telling you! It’s a real thing: movement helps your body use up that stress chemistry and send a signal that you’re safe again.

Why Adaptiv?

To help your body regulate the stress response.

-The oil blend works through your nervous system via smell.
The compounds in this blend are known for their calming and uplifting effects on mood and tension.

-the capsules work from the inside.
They include things like GABA (a calming neurotransmitter), plant extracts like Sceletium, and essential oils that help regulate cortisol levels.

So instead of just pushing through stress…
you’re supporting your body both neurologically and physiologically.

Add more movement and some Adaptiv to your life, you can expect more: calm, clearer mind, better sleep, more patience and overall better stress management.

If you’re in a heavy season right now, message me.
I’ll walk you through how it works.

Maybe I don’t actually want to hide away in the woods with my family.

Eye contact. Human connection.

There’s so much that doesn’t make it through the screen.

I wish I understood this sooner.

Healthy habits don’t stick just because of will power.

They stick when they are repeated in a way the brain recognizes as safe and sustainable.

The Rhythm reset works with your brain, using small consistent actions that build new neural pathways until those habits become automatic, not exhausting.

Can’t wait to do this with you guys!!

No cost. Nope there is no catch.

Here’s to a healthier 2026 💃

If your nervous system had a dimmer switch… Frankincense would be the hand turning it down.

Frankincense essential oil contains volatile compounds like α-pinene and incensole acetate that interact with the limbic system, the part of your brain that regulates stress, emotion, and memory.

This is why so many women say they feel instantly grounded when they put a drop on their chest or breathe it in.

It’s not magic.
It’s neuroscience.
Your brain recognizes these compounds and shifts to calm.

How to use USE:
1 drop in palms → inhale slowly
1 drop under the tongue

You can get Frankincense for free this month!
Ask me how :)
