Doctor Mama Bear Postpartum Sitz Tea 🌼

2 tbsp calendula flowers
1 tbsp lavender flowers
1 tbsp rose flowers
1 tbsp chamomile
2 cups boiled water

Cover and steep for 10–15 minutes.

Strain into a shallow bath or peri basin once cooled to a comfortable temperature and sit for 10–15 quiet minutes. A small ritual of tending in a season that asks so much of mamas.

Sometimes healing looks like flowers steeping quietly in the kitchen & sometimes it looks like steeping yourself in the flowers 😌🌼

Had you heard of calendula for any of these uses?

The 5 therapeuticFlavours of TCM ☕️
(Save this post for later)

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, every flavour carries a frequency of healing 🍃

The way we eat, the flavours we crave can tell us what our body is asking for.

✨ Sweet grounds and rebuilds
🌶️ Pungent moves what’s stuck
🍋 Sour soothes the Liver and tones
🧂 Salty nourishes our deepest essence
🍊 Bitter clears heat and calms the heart

+

Each flavour supports a different phase of your cycle, fertility, and motherhood journey:
🌑 Menstruation: Sweet + Salty to restore
🌱 Follicular: Sour to awaken Liver Qi
🌞 Ovulatory: Bitter to cool & harmonize
🍂 Luteal: Pungent to move stagnation

Food becomes medicine.
And your cycle becomes your compass.

🕊️

If you’re ready to reconnect with your body and bring balance to your hormones through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and TCM nutrition, I’d love to support you.

Whether you’re nourishing your body for conception, tending to your pregnancy, or restoring your strength postpartum we’ll use ancient medicine to help your modern body thrive.

Years ago, when I was still studying acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, a mother sat on my treatment table in student clinic, pregnant with her fifth baby and quietly heartbroken.

She had just come from an appointment where someone had said to her:

“Well… at least you already have four kids.”

And I remember thinking,

what a lonely thing to hear when you are scared for the baby growing inside of you right now 😔

Of course she loved her children deeply.

Of course she was grateful.

But fear does not disappear simply because gratitude exists beside it.

I still remember gently placing Yin Tang between her brows, watching her shoulders soften into the table as her whole body finally exhaled.

And somewhere in that moment, I quietly promised myself something:

🤎that mothers in my care would always feel deeply seen.

🤎Not dismissed.

🤎Not rushed.

🤎Not told their fears are too much.

That beautiful baby was born healthy 💗

And years later, one of my favourite sounds in clinic is still that same deep exhale when a mother finally settles onto my table.

Motherhood asks so much of women.

Sometimes, I think the medicine is being deeply cared for too.

Tell me softly, have you ever felt dismissed in healthcare? (You can dm me if its too personal for the comments)

To the pregnant mother who suddenly feels more anxious than she expected,

I see you 🤎

No one really prepares women for this part. The tenderness. The overthinking. The middle-of-the-night thoughts that suddenly feel louder than before.

Pregnancy changes more than the body. Hormones shift, yes, but so does the nervous system. Even deeply wanted seasons can feel vulnerable.

In clinic, I gently remind mothers of this:

🌸you are not doing pregnancy wrong🌸

Sometimes support looks smaller than we expect. A steadier breakfast. Fresh air. A slower morning. Acupuncture. A warm drink held in both hands☕️

Little things matter in tender seasons.

Tell me softly, what trimester are you in?

Stop scrolling for a sec.
Because if you’re trying to conceive, or thinking about it, I want you to know something:

You’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re not behind.
Your body isn’t broken. 🤎

You’ve just never been taught how to eat with your hormones, your cycle, your digestion, your stress… and your future baby in mind.

And that’s not your fault..it’s a gap in our healthcare system & diet culture constantly being pushed on women.

But it’s also fixable.
Gently. Nourishingly. Without obsessing.

This is the work I do every day as a Doctor of Acupuncture & TCM- helping women feel supported, understood, and actually resourced on their fertility journey.

So let’s start with food 🍲 simple, delicious, womb-supportive food that your hormones can trust again.

For breastfeeding mothers our meals, especially breakfast should be warm & nutrient dense.

Never coffee first.

It should go like this 🍳

•brush teeth
•warm water
•nutrient dense breakfast
•herbal tea pairing

Then that delicious, soul nourishing coffee as a ritual ☕️🤎😌✨

Because this is how you support your hormones, your blood sugar, your milk supply & your mood.

Coffee first takes away from the pleasure and sets you up for that afternoon crash.

Try this instead & let me know how you feel 🫶🏼

A simple nettle infusion I often start mothers with.

Base recipe:
• 2–4 tsp dried nettle leaf per cup of boiling water
• Cover + steep 10–30 minutes (longer if you want a stronger infusion)
• Sip warm, never cold

Then, consider adding:

• Red raspberry leaf, if you’re rebuilding after bleeding or supporting the uterus
• Oat straw, if your nervous system feels thin or frayed
• Alfalfa, if you need deeper mineral nourishment
• Rose hips, if you want a gentle vitamin C boost and brighter flavour

Welcome to those of you who are new here, and hello again to those who’ve been here a while 🤎

Lately, I’ve been reflecting and unfolding.

In motherhood. In medicine. In the quiet ways both continue to shape me.

I’m Dr. Brittany a mother, wife, Doctor of Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Functional Medicine Practitioner with a deep love for supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, hormones, and the ever-changing seasons of motherhood.

My approach is gentle, rooted, and deeply personal.

I believe mothers deserve to feel nourished too.

That healing can look like warm tea, listening more closely to the body, seasonal rhythms, acupuncture, herbs, and feeling supported in ways that are both ancient and deeply practical.

Here, you’ll find Chinese medicine for modern motherhood.

Herbal wisdom. Nourishment. Gentle reminders. Honest reflections. And soon… The House of Mama Bear, a place for mothers to be tended to through every season.

Whether you’re growing your family, navigating postpartum, preparing for birth, finding your rhythm again, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself,

I’m so glad you’re here 🤎

Tell me..where are you joining me from, and what season of motherhood are you in?

I made this tea for me, because the medicine I share with you in clinic is the same medicine I live by✨

I loved being pregnant but the morning sickness took everything from me.

I love breastfeeding into the toddler years but I know the toll it can take if we lack mineral replenishment.

When my cycle returned after my first baby I was so depleted & I plan to make a difference this time around.
