Two things I’m absolutely sure of:
✨ Eggnog from Hearth is the best. If you’re an eggnog person, this one’s a must.
✨ And second — I’m officially off until January 5th.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this little community and trusting me with your care. Supporting you through the laughs, the tears, and all the in-between moments is something I truly don’t take for granted.

Now it’s time for a few weeks of cozy mornings, slow days, and maybe a little extra nog. Wishing you a gentle, restful end to the year. See you in 2026 ✨

Friendly reminder (to you and me):
your health routine does not need to show up with a perfect Christmas bow on top. 🎀

December is A LOT.
So here’s your permission slip:
✨ consistent-ish is enough
✨ it doesn’t have to look aesthetic
✨ you can return to basics anytime
✨ being gentle with yourself is a form of health

If you’re aiming to feel your best, pick one small thing you can repeat.

Team consistent-ish. Always.

PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) is a severe form of PMS that affects a smaller number of people who menstruate — about 1–6%.
It’s recognized as a depressive disorder in the DSM-5.

🌀 How it’s different from PMS Symptoms appear in the week before your period, ease a few days after bleeding starts, and are minimal or gone the following week.

To diagnose PMDD, 5 or more symptoms must be present — including at least one mood-related symptom:
• Mood swings
• Irritability or anger
• Feelings of hopelessness
• Anxiety

Other possible symptoms: • Low motivation or fatigue • Difficulty concentrating • Appetite or sleep changes • Feeling overwhelmed or out of control • Physical symptoms (bloating, breast tenderness, joint pain)

PMDD can have a real impact on daily life & relationships. It’s not just a rough week but a real and often misunderstood condition.
If this sounds familiar, support is available & it can make a real difference.

This summer I finally sat down with the stack of non-fiction books I’d been putting off all year. Each one made me think a little harder about healing, and what it means to show up not just as a practitioner, but also as a partner, daughter, sister, friend, and community member. I really enjoyed them all.

With fall settling in, I’m happily curling back up with some fiction ✨✨✨

I did a thing!
I finished the Intuitive Eating counselling program! ✨

Here’s why → because I’m not a fan of diet culture or weight stigma.

Intuitive eating is the vibe because it’s a return to trust — with your body, your hunger, your fullness, and self-compassion.

All those rules about eat this, not that, only at this time, only this amount? They mostly just disconnect us from our bodies and create stress + guilt around food.

Intuitive eating flips that ⬇️
〰️ Eating when you’re hungry, stopping when you’re satisfied
〰️ Letting go of “good” vs. “bad” food labels
〰️ Allowing joy, satisfaction + flexibility
〰️ Noticing how food feels in your body, not just how it looks on a plate
〰️ Making space for food that fuels & feels good

It’s just the vibe. ✨

Hustle culture has never been my thing.
 I’ve resisted the whole “post 3 times a day, hack the algorithm” advice. Not because I don’t care about reaching people (I do), but because I care just as much about showing up in a way that feels good for my nervous system.

Social media can be overwhelming. It’s fast, it’s noisy, and it can pull me out of the present so easily. But it can also be a space for connection, community, and healing… and for me, a way to build my practice in a way that actually feels authentic.

So this is me, finding my way back here. Slowly, intentionally, and in a way that feels more human than performative (you know??)

❤️ Lauren

〰️ Fertility & Acupuncture 〰️
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture uses fine needles at specific points on the body to encourage healing and balance.

〰️ How Can It Support Fertility?
1️⃣ Improves circulation to reproductive organs
2️⃣ Regulates hormones
3️⃣ Supports ovulation
4️⃣ Promotes healthy egg and s***m
5️⃣ Enhances IVF success
6️⃣ Reduces stress and anxiety

〰️ Does it work?
Here’s my honest answer: research is mixed! Some studies show no significant impact, while others suggest acupuncture may reduce anxiety during IVF, improve pregnancy rates, and even boost live birth rates.

Curious? Let’s chat at your next appointment!

I don’t know about you, but sometimes the hardest part of my day is breaking out of the routine. We get stuck in the cycle—wake up, go, repeat. With so much happening around us, it’s easy to forget to ask ourselves what we actually need. Yesterday, I paused instead of pushing forward: coffee in bed, a midday walk, an evening movement class, and a scoop of ice cream before sleep.

Here’s your reminder to take the space you need today. Whether it’s a small pause or a big reset, give yourself permission to step out of autopilot. Take the time you need to fuel yourself so we can all show up for the changes we want to see ✨

Our health is deeply connected to the health of our community, and being engaged in our community is part of staying healthy. 🗳️ Voting is an important way to show up and shape the world we live in together. Advanced polls are open until tomorrow—let’s make our voices count!

Can’t wait to see you soon!

Chanterelles: One of my favourite parts of late summer!
Sautéed in butter with fresh herbs—my favourite way to enjoy them. This year, I experimented with dry sautéing and freezing a batch… fingers crossed it works out!

Hope the end of summer is finding everyone well 🍄

Reading - what I’m doing 💯 instead of posting on here 😅
I’m such a big fan of sci-fi fantasy that nonfiction is harder for me to get into. Nonviolent Communication has been on my list for a while. Halfway through and I can’t stop recommending it -

Listening to understand, speaking to be understood & being completely honest without resorting to criticism, defensiveness, putdowns or judgement.

This book is a really amazing tool & a beautiful reset in communication.
