Healing your womb for

🌸easier menstruation

🌸make peace with your painful past
🌸heal generational trauma so your (future) daughter doesn’t have to
🌸enjoy being a woman
🌸experience better relationships
🌸feel more confident in your body
🌸for a beautiful start into motherhood
🌸an energetic cleanse for your baby’s first home

… so many reasons to work on releasing womb trauma!

It has been life changing for me.

From delibitating periods to barely noticing them… yes, it was work, but so worth it.

It meant I could enjoy my pregnancy and feel connected to my baby throughout.

Nurturing your womb should be one of the first things we do when we are trying to get pregnant.

It’s so much more than just an organ.

Womenhood. Motherhood. A sacred place.

HAPPY KIDS DON’T WEAR CLEAN CLOTHES… and least not for long. Don’t get me wrong, I love to see my daughter dressed in sparkly clean clothes, but her desire to eat by herself, climb over everything (including dogs), play with cats and stones just doesn’t keep clothes clean for long. And that’s ok!

She is building her immune system by sticking things in her mouth, developing her senses, confidence, motor skills and much more.

As we know, the immune system is mostly in the gut, so apart from letting her eat sauerkraut once in a while (she loves it) and a few sips of kombucha here and there, along with many breastfeeding sessions day and night contribute to her well being.

We have herbal tea, essential oils and natural remedies to heal whatever needs healing if venturing out left some traces.

On the organic farmers market the farmers take pride in giving her different herbs each week. She would visit the different stalls and walk around with her gifts of basil, lemon balm, peppermint, majoran, sage… whatever they picked in the morning.

Finally, we are again in a place with plenty of clean food. I am blessed to have a wonderful, health conscious mama friend who reminds me to eat and makes nutrient dense food a priority.

I try to allow my daughter to eat a broad range of food. To my surprise, the dishes she ate the most of were very fragrant dishes, even mildly spicy (Asian level mild), sauerkraut, wild boar gulash, paté and recently blood sausage made from black pigs. Some of you may still remember my vegan dishes and cooking updates. Personally, I think vegan food is not for pregnant or postpartum mamas, and neither is it suitable for babies. Seeing my daughter eat intuitively is eye opening.

Back to the mud and dirty clothes. Sometimes, I do think about what other people may think. But then I just tell myself that happy children are dirty, no matter how often we wash their hands and faces. And to keep mommy happy, a friend of mine is gifting me some mud pants! 💕

How do you see dirt as a mother? Is soil even considered dirt?

CAMPER BABY BENEFITS - being a camper baby is both a mindset and a lifestyle. Those who are familiar with the concept of forest schools can probably relate better than those who just copy what everyone else is doing.

Benefits that I have observed on my own baby include:

✅ she is very confident
✅ she is physically strong (she can hold the lead with our big dog or carry water jugs with some water in it)
✅ she is robust and mostly just gets up and tries again
✅ she is very social and tries to communicate with every person
✅ she enjoys playing with other children
✅ she is very agile and has good motor skills (she enjoys climbing on a rocking chair for instance)
✅ she prefers cool over (baby) hot water for showering or bathing
❌no digestive issues whatsoever
✅ she eats pretty much anything I offer her, although mommy’s milk is still her main nutrition.

I have heard similar things from other parents who also have a camper baby. Of course every child is different and I don’t know how she would be if she had spent her first year like most children do.

What is your view? Crazy? Too crazy? Or worth a try?

Kyrenia / Girne Harbour. When we reached here first in January, the whole port was closed off. Now it’s still closed off, but now they let people walk through it. It looks like it is going to look nice once the construction is finished.

BABY-FRIENDLY SMALL SPACES do exist. It’s big enough for her to move around and explore, but small enough to reach things, be safe and I am right beside her. Makes sense to me. What do you think?

CYPRIOT HOSPITALITY blew me away. “There is more food. It’s ok if you eat it all.” is one if the kindest things you can say to a hungry breastfeeding mother.

Jasmine is teething and there are days where she barely eats. All she wants is maybe a bit of yoghurt and lots of mama’s milk. Lots of it. And my body needs to produce all that milk, and of course I want quality milk.

A big thank you to all my Cypriot friends and the foreigners who made Cyprus their home. Your hospitality and kindness has blown me away.

Epheristo!
