Have you ever thought about how wild it is that we’re wired to feel both deep pleasure and deep pain? It’s not a design flaw…it’s actually brilliant.

Our nervous system evolved this way so we could fully experience life, to keep us safe, yes, but also to keep us connected.

Pain wakes us up. It’s the body’s way of saying, “Something needs your attention.” Without it, we wouldn’t know when to pull our hand away from the fire, leave the unhealthy relationship, or change what’s hurting us.

And pleasure? That’s the invitation back into life. It’s the warm sun on your face, the taste of cacao melting on your tongue, the deep breath that drops you back into your body. Pleasure tells us, “Stay here, open more, there’s beauty in this moment.”

We evolved to feel both because one without the other is incomplete. Pain shapes our depth. Pleasure reminds us why we keep showing up. Together, they’re the full spectrum of being alive.

And here’s where it gets personal for me… I’m committed to healing my autoimmune disorder by using pleasure as medicine. I believe pleasure is not a frivolous extra…it’s a biological necessity. It floods the body with chemistry that soothes inflammation, balances the nervous system, and reminds every cell that it is safe to thrive.

This is why I’ll be sharing more of my own journey with using pleasure and cacao as a healing practice…not as a distraction from pain, but as a companion to it. Because when we learn to hold both, something shifts. The body softens. The heart opens. And little by little, we remember what it feels like to be truly alive.

I’m curious…What’s one small thing that’s bringing you pure, simple pleasure today?

I’m healing my auto immune disorder with pleasure and cacao…and it’s actually working.

Truth time. Back in January, I got a diagnosis that shook me to my core: autoimmune disorder affecting my bowels.

On paper, I shouldn’t have this. I do all the things…the supplements, the protocols, the holistic care. I have access to incredible healing resources (and I’m so grateful for that). But deep down, I know this isn’t just physical. I know it is rooted in something deeper (more about this later if you want me to elaborate).

The medical route offered me symptom suppression.
But I don’t believe in shutting my body up when it’s clearly trying to tell me something.

So I am chosing a different path:
I’m healing with pleasure.
Daily. Deliberately. As medicine.

And here’s the thing… it’s working.
Flare-ups are softer. My body feels safer. My nervous system is calmer.

Cacao has been my ally in this dance…grounding, heart-opening, rich, sensual, guiding me back into my body and into the here-and-now. Cacao is doing SO much for me 🤘

Pleasure, for me, is legit a daily anti-inflammatory.
It’s changing everything.

So tell me… should I share more about this?
Does using pleasure as medicine spark your curiosity?

✸ The Mamamuti Hormone Harmony Brew (save me for later)

A deeply nourishing, anti-inflammatory cacao elixir to soothe your nervous system, balance your hormones, and reconnect you with your womb and wild.

🌿 Why it’s special:
• Cacao supports mood, magnesium levels, and blood flow, a true ally for PMS, perimenopause, or cycle harmony.
• Adaptogens and roots (like maca, shatavari or ashwagandha) nurture the endocrine system.
• Spices reduce inflammation and ignite digestive fire.
• It tastes like a hug from the Earth.

🍫 Ingredients (1 serve):
• 25–30g cacao paste
• 1 tsp cacao powder (for extra richness)
• ½ tsp maca powder (adrenal & libido support)
• ½ tsp turmeric (anti-inflammatory)
• Pinch of black pepper (for turmeric absorption)
• Pinch of cinnamon (blood sugar balance)
• Optional: ¼ tsp shatavari or ashwagandha (hormonal support)
• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or raw honey (to taste)
• 1½ cups plant milk (almond, oat, macadamia, or h**p work beautifully)
• A dash of vanilla or rosewater if desired
• Tiny pinch of sea salt (to open flavour and support minerals)

🌀 Instructions:
1. Warm the milk gently in a pot.
2. Add cacao paste and powder, whisking until fully melted.
3. Add all remaining ingredients, and whisk or blend until frothy and smooth.
4. Pour into your favourite sacred mug. Wrap your hands around it. Breathe. Sip.

✨ Serving suggestion:

Drink this seated, not rushed. Place one hand on your heart, one on your womb. Feel what’s asking to be witnessed. Let the cacao work her gentle medicine.

🌺 Mamamuti Ritual Option:

Blend with intention. Whisper into your cup:
“I honour my rhythms. I soften into receiving. I choose pleasure.”

Here’s a radical thought…What if your Pleasure is Medicine?

Not indulgence.

Not a luxury.

Not your reward for being productive.

But nourishment.

Essential.

Regenerative.

Life-giving.

We’ve been taught to tuck pleasure away, to keep it for special occasions, to earn it, to feel guilty for wanting it.

But what if pleasure is part of the healing?

What if it softens the nervous system, opens the heart, and brings us home to our bodies, again and again?

A deep belly laugh.

A quiet cup of cacao.

A moment of stillness with your bare feet in the grass.

A lover’s touch.

A slow morning.

A bite of something decadent.

A song that cracks you open.

Pleasure as medicine means recognising that joy, softness, and sensuality are not distractions from the path, they are the path.

This is your permission slip (if you needed one).

This is your reminder (if you forgot).

Pleasure isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.

I’ve waited two years to talk about this…

Nothing has been the same since I came back from the Solomon Islands in 2023.

I’m only now beginning to find words for what happened. The truth? I almost didn’t go. I was burnt out. Flattened. Considering antidepressants. I didn’t know how I was going to get there, but something in me knew I had to go.

And what I met there, in the jungle, in the heat, in the people, in the slowness…was a truth I couldn’t unsee. I’d been running my business from fear. From hustle. From comparison. From scarcity. I’d been trying to compete in the world of cacao like it was some kind of race, and it was exhausting. I betrayed my own rhythm. I got swept up in the noise.

At the end of my jungle trip, I fell off the map — quite literally. Utterly burnt out, I unplugged from the Western grid, and dropped into something ancient and alive. I met Mother Earth and my body in her fullness. I met the Divine Feminine in a way that cracked me open. I danced with my darkness and purged lifetimes of shame, rage and guilt. And my body loved it. My anxiety started to dissolve. My depression lifted. I started to feel whole. Nourished. Re-membered.

That cacao jungle trip truly broke the spell.

But nothing made sense anymore. It was confusing. Confronting. The way I used to “do” business didn’t fit. The formulas didn’t work. I couldn’t force things the way I used to. I’ve been deep in the mystery ever since…listening, waiting, wintering.

I’ve been quieter. Slower. Simpler. I’ve stopped outsourcing my healing. I’ve stopped consuming as much. I’ve started backing my own wisdom - the wisdom of a woman nearing 50, the wisdom of a homeopathic practitioner who’s lived some things.

And I can say this now, hand over heart: I run my business in a much more feminine way. It’s messier. More intuitive. More cyclical. It requires so much trust. So much surrender. And often? No action. (Which my inner perfectionist and people-pleaser find deeply confronting.)

But there’s aliveness here. There’s realness. And pleasure. And play. And a sense of liberation. The Pacific gifted me a blueprint I can’t unfeel - one rooted in deep, wild love.

I don’t fully know what’s coming next. My relationship to cacao is evolving, softening, deepening. And I don’t want to go back to the old way of sharing it.

So I’m asking you, my Mamamuti community:

✨ Is there a feeling you’d like to share space with me in, inside this new way of being?

✨ What would that look like for you?

And to my fellow feminine business owners out there - how are you doing? Are you also finding that the old ways aren’t working anymore? That the hustle doesn’t fit? That there’s something quieter, more rooted calling you forward?

Let’s talk. I’m listening.

With cacao in my heart and mud on my feet,

Irma 🤎

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey my loves 🤎

Just a quick heads-up from me: at the end of June, my cacao prices will be going up by 15%.

It’s the first price increase since April 2023 (I’ve been holding out as long as I could!), but with rising inflation, cacao costs, and courier prices, it’s time for a little bump.

Stock is pretty low right now (next cacao shipment arrives end of July), so if you’re thinking about topping up your stash, now’s a great moment to do it before the new prices roll in.

Thanks so much for being here, for loving Mamamuti cacao, and for being part of this beautiful, wild-hearted community.

Big love,

Irma

Hey lovely new folks — welcome! 🤎😃

I’m Irma — undercover witch, cacao devotee, and chief mischief-maker here at Mamamuti HQ in Raglan. I’m easily seduced by cheese, and most nights you’ll find me in bed with a brownie. No regrets. 😝

I’ve been head-over-heels for pure, unprocessed cacao since the late 90s. It’s my daily dose of love and pleasure — a true life companion. Cacao lifts my mood, opens my heart, sharpens my focus, fuels my creativity, boosts my energy, and nourishes my gut, hormones, and skin. Honestly? It’s a cornerstone of my wellbeing. Making and sharing cacao gives me the warm fuzzies — every time.

Before Mamamuti, I was a homeopath and health coach, so I know firsthand that what we eat shapes our emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. And cacao? It ticks SO many of my feel-good boxes. ✔️

Mamamuti means Mother Medicine.
‘Mama’ honours my late mum, who passed when I was in my twenties. She was a fierce and loving homeopath, iridologist, teacher, and writer who devoted her life to ethical, natural medicine. She passed on to me an unshakable trust in the healing wisdom of plants.
‘Muti’ means medicine in Zulu — the language of the Zulu women who helped raise me in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Mamamuti is a living, breathing vessel that connects me to my roots, my lineage, and all I hold sacred.

I like to believe you can feel that love in every cup of cacao I send your way. 🥰
And yes — I do a little happy dance with every order!

Thank you for being here. Your support means the world — not only to me, but to the incredible growers I work with. Together, we’re keeping cacao real, ethical, and rooted in reverence.

Let’s keep uplifting the hands that tend to this precious ancient medicine.

Big love,
Irma 🤎
