This season may feel different — and that’s okay.

The holidays used to mean full calendars, late-night gatherings, and carefully wrapped gifts. But this year, as a new mom, the pace has shifted. The quiet moments have become the most meaningful ones — a baby’s breath against my chest, soft lights glowing in the background, and the realization that presence matters far more than perfection.

There’s a tenderness in this chapter — a mix of deep love, exhaustion, and surrender. Learning that it’s okay to say no, to slow down, to redefine what joy looks like.

If you’re navigating postpartum life right now, give yourself permission to be — not perform, not plan, just breathe and receive. Healing, bonding, and resting are their own celebrations.

This holiday season, I’m holding space for grace, gratitude, and gentleness — for myself and for every new mom finding her rhythm again.

🌿 New mom stress is real — and you’re not meant to power through it alone.
A few reminders: breathe slow, drink something warm, eat real meals, get a little sunlight, and let someone help with the laundry.

Small support adds up.
You’re healing, adjusting, and doing an incredible job. 💛

Mama, can we pause for a second?

Because I want to remind you of something you probably haven’t heard enough lately…
You’re doing an absolutely amazing job.

Self care doesn’t always look like spa days or long baths (though those are lovely).
Sometimes it’s the tiny choices you make a hundred times a day, choosing patience, choosing presence, choosing to breathe before you react, choosing to rest when your body whispers that it’s tired.

It’s letting the dishes wait because your little one needed an extra-long cuddle.
It’s giving yourself grace when the day feels messy.
It’s remembering that a good mom is not the one who does everything perfectly —it’s the one who keeps showing up with love.

So if no one’s told you today…
I see you.
I’m proud of you.
And you’re doing better than you think.

Be gentle with yourself. You’re raising humans, and that alone is magic.

💛✨

January 1 2026 - there will be a slight increase to all visit fees.
You guys know I try my best not to have to increase visit fees. But I haven’t increased rates since 2024 and I have to yet again make some adjustments. It is likely from here I will make a yearly increase every January 1, but in smaller increments than what happens if I wait 2-3 years each time.
Looking forward to continuing to work with you all in 2026 and onwards.

If you’re a new mom running on empty, this one’s for you. 💕

Self-care doesn’t have to be fancy — it just needs to be intentional.
Try these small daily rituals:
🌿 Drink water before your coffee
🌿 Step outside for a breath of fresh air
🌿 Eat something nourishing (even a snack counts)
🌿 Rest when baby rests (yes, the laundry can wait)

You can’t pour from an empty cup, mama — take care of you too. 💛

Did you know postpartum anxiety affects just as many new moms as postpartum depression?

You might notice:
✨ Racing thoughts or constant worry
✨ Feeling on edge or restless
✨ Difficulty sleeping even when baby sleeps
✨ Panic or heart palpitations

These feelings don’t make you weak — they mean your nervous system needs support. 🌸
Naturopathic care can help bring your body and mind back into balance with gentle, evidence-based strategies.

💛 You don’t have to go through this alone.

The shirt says it all… I am currently fully booked this fall and for the rest of 2025.
We have opened January and the whole 2026 schedule, and of course I always have the cancellation list as well. If you’re on the cancellation list please make sure to check emails. You’ll often get automated notice of an open spot and the opportunity to book online, sometimes before we even know there’s an opening. So if you can grab it online you’re more likely to get the spot than calling or emailing and waiting for us to get back to you.

Have a spooktacular Halloween 👻

Let’s Talk Hormones💛

Wondering if your hormones are affecting your mood?

Here’s the deal:

📌 If your periods haven’t returned yet and you have PPD → ask about progesterone testing.
📌 If your cycles are back → wait until you’ve had 3 periods, then test:
🩸 Estradiol + Progesterone
🕒 Test 7 days after ovulation
👉 Or ~7 days before your next period

Look for:
✔️ Estradiol: Mid-range
✔️ Progesterone: Mid to high-mid range during luteal phase
Low levels = potential reason for insomnia, anxiety, fatigue, and low mood.

A little snapshot of who I am — equal parts data fan, chocolate lover, and silent Instagram story watcher 😂

Not to mention I’m big on the dancing when it comes to the 90’s and 00’s pop music!

Did you know many moms don’t get properly assessed or diagnosed with postpartum depression (PPD) or anxiety until 6+ months after birth?

That’s a long time to suffer silently—and it’s more common than you think.

Your mental health matters now, not just when things get “bad enough.” 🧠💗

✨ Stay tuned—we’re diving into what bloodwork, hormones, and check-ins you need postpartum.

I hate to make this post on such a lovely sunny day, but I need to give everyone a booking update. I am currently fully booked for new patient visits in 2025. That means all of the spaces where I can accommodate new patients are booked until Christmas.
I have to make some adjustments to the layout of my schedule going into January, so bookings into 2026 are not open quite yet.
I am also nearly fully booked for return visits until Christmas. I do still have some spaces in December but they are filling up quickly.
While I always do my best to add extra time to my schedule and accommodate people the best I can, my flexibility is currently either already pushed beyond its max, or limited on certain days.

I still welcome everyone to get in touch and be added to the cancellation list, and we will start booking new patients into January as soon as that schedule is open. Please understand that even for follow up visits my cancellation list is now very very long. Due to this I must enforce my cancellation policy strictly. Please please let us know at the very minimum 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule, but more time is appreciated because it takes time to contact and book people into that spot.

Thank you all for understanding and I look forward to seeing as many lovely faces as I can before Christmas ❤️
