Frankincense is one of the gentlest oils for newborns.
Beautiful for bonding, calming, and overall wellness.

A simple way to use it is through baby belly massage.
This supports digestion, relaxation, and creates a moment of skin to skin connection.

Baby Belly Massage Blend
• 1 drop Frankincense
• 1 drop Lavender
• 1 Tbsp carrier oil

Warm in your hands and massage baby’s tummy or chest in slow circles. Perfect for fussy evenings, after feeding, or before nap time.

One of the most powerful tools you can give yourself during pregnancy is education. 📘 My book and companion eBook were created to help you feel confident and supported from TTC to postpartum.

If you’re preparing for a baby or supporting someone who is, this resource was made for you. Message me anytime if you need help choosing the right version.

Before I serve mamas, I make sure I’m grounded myself. 🤍

A quiet morning, warm drink, and a peaceful diffuser blend help me step into my day with clarity and calm.

A regulated midwife supports a more regulated birth space and that matters deeply.

This little roller has been a steady favorite in my home for years. If you want simple, reliable support through the winter months, this blend is a wonderful place to begin. In the pictures, I walk you through each oil so you know why it’s there and how it supports your body. When you understand your oils, you use them with confidence.

A little education for you:
• On Guard is your protective powerhouse.
• Copaiba helps calm the body when it’s working hard.
• Oregano is strong and should always be used diluted, which is why it shines in this roller.
• Lemon or Wild Orange help move things along and keep the blend bright.
• Frankincense supports cellular health beautifully.
• Melissa is gentle but incredibly effective when you need a higher level of support.

Here’s how I use it: I roll it on my feet every morning, and again on my neck and feet anytime I feel my body asking for a little extra help. These oils work well together, and consistency matters.
If you want to make this roller or order the oils at 25% off, you can use the link in the last picture or the link in my bio. And if you have questions, please reach out. I’m here to help you learn and feel confident using your oils.

Grateful today for these brown bottles.

Grateful for natural support for my hormones.

Grateful for calm feelings during times of stress.

Grateful to have soothed my throats quickly.

Grateful for the boost of energy when I wake up.

Grateful for this nontoxic way to clean the air in my home.

Grateful for natural, safe and effective immune support when noses start running.

As a midwife, with many clients I support daily, I’m so grateful I can reach for these to help me and those I support in every.single.drop.

What I’ve used today so far:

• Peppermint and wild orange in my diffuser for happy feelings and an energy boost.
• ClaryCalm on my ankles to balance my hormones.
• Copaiba and Frankincense under my tongue to promote calm feelings and reduce anxiousness.
• MetaPWR in my water for flavor and to support my cravings and fat cell maturation.
• Immortelle on my face for healthy, smooth skin and cellular support.
• Balance on the bottoms of my feet for grounding and focusing benefits.
• Sandalwood on my forehead so I can be focused and intuitive as I serve others.
• OnGuard on the bottoms of my feet to support my immune system.
• Lemon with my VMG+ (makes it taste so fresh).
• Zendocrine, geranium and DDR Prime in my coffee e***a to support my liver.
Plus many other supplements!!!

Each day I get to choose oils that support my mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. I’ve been using oils daily for since the 80’s, and helping other people learn how to use them for over 17 years. It’s been such a blessing to teach others how they can find support and care for themselves naturally in these simple, effective ways as well as being SIP/B - (Safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding).

Women feel their hormones long before a chart or a lab ever does. Whisper has been one of my favorite tools for years because it brings a sense of steadiness on the days when emotions feel a little closer to the surface.

This blend is made with some of the most supportive oils for emotional regulation, and these graphics walk you through the exact oils inside Whisper:

🌿 Patchouli & Sandalwood — grounding, settling, helping the body come out of that “on alert” feeling.
🍦 Vanilla Bean & Cocoa Bean — warm, soft, comforting… the emotional equivalent of a deep exhale.
🌼 Bergamot & Cedarwood — brightening the mood while quieting the mind.
🌹 Rose & Jasmine — supporting the heart and easing the overwhelm that can come with hormonal shifts.
🍋 Lemon, Coriander & Tonka Bean — fresh, clarifying notes that help bring emotional ease.

Whisper blends differently on every woman. That’s part of the beauty. It becomes your own natural fragrance while offering emotional steadiness throughout the day.

How I recommend using it:
• Pulse points in the morning for grounded energy
• Evening application to help your body wind down
• Wear it as your daily fragrance
• Safe in pregnancy + breastfeeding when used topically and diluted

If you’ve been needing something simple and supportive for your hormone journey, Whisper is a beautiful place to start.

About The Essential Midwife

Stephanie Fritz, also known as The Essential Midwife, has a very successful midwifery practice in Southeast Arizona. She covers an area 2.5 hours all around her from the desert to the mountains. Many of her out-of-hospital births are in very rural areas. She is the mother of four daughters, three of which were born at home, and all breastfed. These experiences have shaped her vision of what women’s health care should be. She knows first-hand what a difference information and a sense of control can make when having a baby.

She believes that knowledge is power. With comfort, support, trust and privacy, birth can be simple and beautiful. She loves to empower the families she serves through education and choices, by teaching them that as they take their health into their own hands they can improve their lives.

She believes the relationship with her clients is very important, and can have a big impact on the birth. She often says her clients are her best friends. She offers in depth and personal prenatal visits where care is given to the mother’s emotional needs as well as the normal physical assessment of mother’s and baby’s well-being. It is important to feel comfortable, as this is the time to bond and create trusting relationships. Her clients will tell you she has a special gift to always make you feel better when you leave than when you came. It’s not uncommon for tears and laughter to be shared in the same hour.

She has enjoyed using essential oils since the 80”s with her family and has experienced the many benefits they offer. Over the last several years the quality and purity of essential oils has improved and far surpassed anything she has used in the past. In 2008 she was introduced to a quality of therapeutic essential oils that she felt confident in using with her clients and their babies as a natural health solution. She has watched her clients’ health and comfort increase dramatically in the last eight years both physically as well as emotionally with these gifts of the earth.
