Why would you use ovulation tests if you're not trying to conceive?

Well there are a few reasons:
1- to identify more accurately your fertile window (when to avoid unprotected s*x or abstain)
2 - to support your cycle tracking (fertility awareness method)
3 - to identify if or when you've ovulated (cycle regularity)
4 - to monitor your luteinizing hormones (health reasons, as an addition to tracking your body temperature)
5 - to get to know your body for future family planning

Want to learn more about conscious contraception and the fertility awareness method?

DM to get a feel for our vibe, I'd love to support you on your journey to feeling more empowered by your bodies cycle.

Conscious Contraception Guidance (link in bio) is more than just science and education, it's tapping into your sacred innate energies and mindset coaching all in one.

Looking forward to seeing you step into your most magical self Xx

P.S. this is not an ad, learn from my spending and save your $$$. Find more affordable test strips on Amazon or at Dollarama (just as effective you're simply paying extra for the plastic stick)!!!

Are you struggling with hormonal birth control side effects?

Maybe you’ve tried many different types (even the copper IUD without the hormones) but you’re still not satisfied with how they make you feel.

Are you feeling disconnected to your womb, your feminine energy, not as in tuned or intuitive, maybe a little flat?

If so, the fertility awareness method might be a great fit for you. It’s a natural form of birth control, but I prefer to call it conscious contraception. It moves you away from synthetic and hormone blocking. And moves you towards, coming back to your cyclical self and enhancing this connection to optimize your lifestyle, productivity, overall health and happiness.

Prenatal care is literally caring for yourself while pregnant.

I’ve heard too many stories of « well my doctor said.. OR they said that’s just routine protocol every women has to do this.. OR I didn’t know I had a choice..

And let me remind you that your care provider is at YOUR service. You always have a choice, you can refuse any tests or procedures, you can usually take time to think about your options before giving an answer, you can get a second opinion, you can fire your care provider.

Whatever you think is best for your body and baby is what should be respected at any prenatal appointment and beyond. Informed choice and informed consent is your birth right!

I’m open to new doula clients and a big part of the education I provide is about your options and rights as a birthing person.

Book a FREE consult through the link in bio so we can both ask each other questions and see if we’d be a good fit to work together🥰

To learn more about my philosophie of care visit dezxena.ca/home-birth-doula

Prenatal care today has become a routine of procedures that are over-generalized to apply to all. Yet every women is unique!

You deserve to be met on all levels. Mind body soul. Your body is not a machine. There is more to the childbearing experience than the physical and science. You are a mammal you were designed to give birth, it is a sacred and spiritual experience like none other in your life.

You deserve attention from a care provider that is longer than 15 mins. You deserve proper education, and to be presented with ALL the information when making decisions about your health and that of your babies.

You are a birth warrior, and you deserve someone by your side who believes in your ability to birth.

You are unique and so the people who serve you should revolve around your experiences, desires and needs.

P.S. I don’t work with home birthing mothers exclusively, although I believe this to be the safest space for most women to birth. I offer different packages to suit your individual needs.

Reach out or book a free consult in my bio to see if I’m the right doula for you.

Healing your yeast infection at home!

This infection is common in women, it’s caused by an overgrowth of candida, which is a healthy bacteria found in our guts.

When an overgrowth occurs, it creates an imbalanced environment. Because our guts and our vaginal flora are linked this imbalance will eventually reach your yoni if not corrected.

For that reason, if you’re experiencing chronic yeast infections, auditing your nutrition is so important. For example, candida feeds on sugar.

I personally dealt with a lot of Y.I. and I’d go out and buy the creams, do the treatment and it would go away. But it kept coming back because this was a band-aid for the symptom, I wasn’t dealing with the root cause.

Holistic health to me includes the physical body, emotional body (stress can trigger many ailments) and spiritual body.

My last Y.I. was over a year ago, I self-healed at home and it was treated as quickly as the medicinal cream but this time it didn’t come back.

Here are some home remedies and what I had personally used:
- Yogurt for probiotics (digested or inserted in the yoni)
- Garlic for anti-bacterial (digested or inserted in the yoni)
- Cranberry juice (typically used for UTI) I felt called to take an oz shot every few hours during my healing and it worked in combo with other things.
- Red raspberry leaf tea (could be other herbal teas or infusions) again I felt called to this plant
- Coconut oil also anti-bacterial (digested, inserted) this was the biggest ease of the itching for me by applying topically
- Apple cider vinegar shots (ew😝)
- Yoni Steaming is a great self-health practice to help prevent and heal infections using either plain steamed water, or with vinegar or specific herbal blends with anti bacterial properties

Remember to use discernment and intuition✨

Did you know you could self-heal? What remedies worked for your yeast infections? I’d love to hear your stories! 🥰

Imagine being so in tuned with the moon that your new cycle aka period starts on the same day as the new moon 🌚

Imagine as soon as she starts waxing you know it's the last day of your bleed, a short 4 days!!! 🌙

I used to have my period near the full moon and ovulate near the new moon... uno reverse much 🔄😂

For a long time I felt a prisoner in my own body.

I used to have the mindset that my body was always working against me.

I had horrible stomach pains, bloating, irregular periods that would sometimes last up to two weeks, honestly the list goes on but I’ll spare you the details.

This effected all aspects of my life and especially my mental health.

Looking back this taught me so many valuable lessons, it motivated me to learn about myself on a scientific and spiritual level.

Today I know that my body, my mind, the universe is always working for my greatest good. I know that because I feel it.

I’ve had so many mentors, friends, specialists who’ve helped me along the way and it’s now my turn to give back and share with you!

I’m embarking on a journey in September to create and launch a program that wraps all that I’ve learnt along the way into an amazing package. 🚀 🎁

I can’t wait to share the process with all of you and be a mentor for other women to become the most divine version of themselves too.

The Warrior within me see’s the warrior thin you, with love 𝒳𝑒𝓃𝒶

My initiation was NOT memorable.

In fact, this feeling that my body was insignificant kept following me throughout my life...

Medical professionals would disregard my experiences, often as if it was “all in my head” 🤯

I knew my body, I knew something was wrong but that wasn’t enough to be taken seriously. My intuition wasn’t valid. The tests were normal so what I was living wasn’t real. 😳

It’s not until I took things into my own hands, did my own research, learnt about my reproductive system, my hormonal cycles and consulted alternative medicine specialists that I took my health back! 💪

IT IS POSSIBLE.

Living in pain, having out of sync menstruation and crazy symptoms throughout your cycle ISNT normal. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Every woman deserves to feel good in their bodies. We are so much more powerful when we can listen to our womb’s and live in sync with nature. 💫

P.S. I have an event coming up where I’ll be teaching you all about this! Check the link in my bio if you’re interested🥰
