Treats for my beautiful clients♥️

When visiting new parents who are adjusting to life with a newborn, don’t come empty handed. Bringing something with you like a warm nutritious meal or something they can freeze for later, treats, a warm drink. This is something small that you can help contribute to nurturing sleep deprived parents.

Energy balls are easy to make and can be made many different ways. Whether a quick snack for late night feedings, on the go, energy boost or even to help aid with lactation supply. They are a great postpartum treat for any new parents you may know.
Here’s the recipe for these Banana-Choco Lactation Balls
1 cup Oatmeal
1/4 cup Cocoa powder
1 tsp Vanilla
1 mashed banana
1/3 cup Honey or Agave nectar
1/2 cup Peanut or Almond Butter
1 Tbsp chia seeds
2/3 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup Ground Flax seed
Chocolate chips
*Optional Brewers yeast
Mix all together. 30 mins in fridge. Roll into balls. Enjoy!

Have you ever been caught up in a routine in life where your running around on auto pilot, constantly trying to please others...and you can’t remember if you even brushed your teeth or took the time for yourself?
Pause, close your eyes and feel that breath..
Today I’m gonna take the time to be mindful of what my body needs.

Parenthood. One of the most challenging and most rewarding adventure in life. I love this photo and reminds me of that feeling of "being in the thick of it". I think most parents can relate to this feeling. Be kind to yourself and remember that its okay to ask for help. Build your village. Lets listen, be mindful and support one another in this beautifully chaotic time in life. You got this!

Mindfulness.. Mindfulness...Mindfulness..

Incredibly impactful during pregnancy and every day life. Can be easy for some to practice and difficult for others. Being mindful of where your thoughts are taking you and choose the more positive direction.
Take it one day at a time. One step at a time. One breath at a time.

Such a simple concept but not something taught in traditional birth preparation. When you learn to notice your thoughts and where they are taking you is a game changer. Check those stressful thoughts....you’ll feel it in your gut. Choose the better feeling thought ❤️
