Last week, we had the privilege of hosting a menstrual cup demonstration for the Centre of Hope Drop In Centre.

With the support of we were able to donate a variety of products for the patrons to use including The Bfree Cup- the first, and currently only, medical-grade silicone menstrual cup with built-in antimicrobial technology that eliminates the need for boiling to sanitize it. Sharing menstrual products that are easy to care for and easy to use is important!

We’re so grateful for organizations that reach out and are eager to learn more about Moontime and the impact of sustainable period care. 💕

✨ Growing the next generation of Indigenous care providers ✨

At Fireweed Wellness Lodge, mentorship and learning in community are an important part of what we do.
Our Registered Indigenous Midwife Maddie Amyotte serves as a preceptor for both nursing and midwifery students, helping future providers experience what culturally safe, community-rooted care truly looks like.

Right now we’re honoured to have Kathleen, a 3rd-year RN student from and a proud member of First Nation, completing her preceptorship with us.

Today our team travelled to Fort Chipewyan, partnering with Nunee Health and the to host a community conversation about midwifery and bringing birth closer to home.
Kathleen joined us for the day alongside Peyton, a 3rd-year Indigenous Midwifery student who has been completing placement in the Labour & Delivery Unit at Northern Lights Regional Health Centre.

These opportunities allow students to learn directly in community, understand the realities families face, and see what relationship-based, culturally safe care can look like in practice.

Supporting Indigenous students in these spaces is something we are deeply proud of. 🌿

We’re also excited to continue growing this work and will be welcoming another Indigenous midwifery student for placement with Maddie this May.
