We had a full day yesterday of teaching midwives the benefits of using essential oils to support women and their partners in labour and birth. Covering 8 key essential oils, different methods of using them, relaxing and supportive massage techniques, the midwives left armed with their newfound knowledge and an extra element in their labour and birth toolkit to help with lots of different scenarios, discomforts and presenting issues to help create a positive birthding expereince.
A plus side of a midwife joining us on this study day is that they can use all their new skills to help support their own health and wellbeing both in work, and at home.
🌹If you would like to run an Aromatherapy for Midwives study day in your hospital, please get in touch.
🩷If you're pregnant and attending any of the three maternity hospitals in Dublin, remember to ask for the aromatherapy options available.

Using lemon essential oil in pregnancy can help with:
🍋 Alleviating nausea and queasiness
🍋 Easing anxiety
🍋 Helping to reduce excess swelling in feet and legs
🍋 Boosting immune system
🍋 Add 3 drops of lemon pure essential oil to the water in your diffuser or burner.
Allow to diffuse for 30 mins, and turn off for 1 hour. Refresh the drops of essential oil, and repeat.
This can help to alleviate a headache, or ease queasiness. ...........
🍋 Use 30mls of carrier oil (like grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, or apricot kernel oil) and add up to a maximum of 8 drops of lemon essential oil. Mix well, and massage into your feet and legs in an upward motion. This can support excess swelling.

I'm delighted to share with you my latest AromaBump product - the AromaBump Gratitude & Positive Affirmation Journal!
This journal provides 42 pregnancy-inspired positive affirmations, space to write out your daily gratitude during your pregnancy, as well as dedicated space to write out your own daily positive affirmations.
This is a DIGITAL product and can be downloaded for immediate access, allowing you to start on your pregnancy gratitude experience straight away.
Focusing on what is good in your life has a wonderful overall impact on how you experience everything else in your life. Over time, there seem to be fewer noticeable negative experiences in your day to day life. This is no different in pregnancy. Once a habit of gratitude has been established, then the positive experiences seem to occur more frequently, giving you more things to be grateful for... and so it continues... the more good things you become aware of and are grateful for in your life, the more good things happen....
I hope you enjoy using the AromaBump Gratitude and Positive Affirmation Journal for Pregnancy! Link in the bio brings you to the aromabuff website - the journal is listed under the For Her - AromaBump collection.

Do you use affirmations to stay in a positive state of mind? I do it a lot and have many variations of many affirmations written down in notebooks and on little pieces of paper that I like to keep in books or in my bag. I love how the repetition of these statements helps to keep my thoughts positive and my focus on the things I want, instead of the things I don't want.
If you'd like to add the use of positive affirmations to your pregnancy, then you might want to check out this set I've created. I've just added these lovely downloadable affirmation cards to my online store, so you can access them immediately - print them off and put them in various places around your home where you'll see them often.
