Before we take a deep dive into the skin’s journey during pregnancy, let me express my deepest gratitude for all the mamas to be who allow me to touch them during this magical time. It fills my heart with so much joy to serve those with child in womb. And this mama here has been such a gift in our lives. was my daughter’s kindergarten teacher and she made her first year in school the best yet! Lillian loves this womxn so much and so do I. Please give a follow and support your local healers. Nicholette is even due on the same day my grandmother and beloved were born🤍

Now let’s talk pregnancy and skin. Some changes you may see include a “pregnancy glow” due to the doubling of the volume of your blood while some experience the opposite with a more lackluster tone with increased breakouts. Skin is more sensitive to ingredients , temperature and touch during this time as well. I’ve even been able to call a pregnancy just by skin behavior during a facial. This sensitivity is thought to be just another way of your body protecting itself and the fetus from infection and disease. So go easy in your skin ritual at home and choose a local wholistic skin practitioner who is educated in pregnancy health.

Chloasma/melasma are very common during this time as well. This darkening of the skin occurs as a result of an increase in the pigment-stimulating hormones during pregnancy but can also be occur due to excessive sun exposure during this time when skin is more sensitive overall. The Brightening Mask is a perfectly safe way to keep skin bright.

It’s vital to keep skin hydrated and fed with nutrient dense toxin free skincare at all times but especially when trying to conceive and once pregnant. In session the masks I most often use on my pregnant Muses are the Gentle Mask for hydration and calming of the skin and also the Brightening Mask for treating pigmentation issues, both from .

Flashback Friday 🌸✨🌸Growing up not one physician took the time to educate me on the importance of my Lymph system much less the benefits of breast massage. It was customary to just wait until you were “old enough” to need a mammogram. But with a grandmother who survived breast cancer having one breast removed and my mom having a lump removed, I took matters in my own hands and began to study prevention rituals. Realizing there are many contributing factors to breast cancer, I approached my health from multiple angles. Diet, stress reduction, environment, removing toxin loaded deodorants -fragrances-body/skin care and lifestyle in general all began to get cleaned up. So far, so good. .
.
The benefits of self breast massage are endless. Massage can improve the appearance of the bust by keeping the tissues firm and can even help break up benign cysts. As for your health, The Texas Institute of Functional Medicine promotes breast massage as a reliable means of flushing out toxins from the body’s lymphatic system. Eliminating harmful waste products and allowing nutrient-rich blood to travel to the breast tissue, circulation is greatly improved. .
.
When taking a holistic approach to your health, prevention is ideal. Knowing how your breasts feel first hand 🖐🏽 🌸is important in early detection of any abnormalities. So go on, touch yourself😉Regular self massage paired with your physicals are a good way to check for any abnormalities that may arise. .
.
The stats///•1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime •In 2019, an est. 268,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed and est. 41,760 are expected to die in 2019 from breast cancer. For women in the U.S. Brest cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer. 85% of breast cancers occur in women that have no family history but your risks do double if there is a history. .

I’ve included some diagrams of your breasts lymph system and an easy how-to guide. Daily I use either California Body Oil or Healthy Breast Tonic right after my morning bath to nurture my body and breast.

“The turn of the season can be felt strongly at the autumnal equinox, when the hours of daylight and nightlight coincide, the dark beginning to override the light. The equinox offers is a pause where we can sense the moment of balance between light and dark through the internal mirror of our bodies and welcome the onset of this season where night reigns. To invite the descent and darkness which begin at equinox ascribed to a dark holiness which has become rare in this age of artificial, ever-available light. The time between harvest and spring becomes deeply devotional, internal, and mysterious rather than inconvenient and unproductive. Though it limits the breadth of our activity, the dark expands our ability to heal through rest, and to communicate with the world that speaks in the silence of night. The dark teaches us to seek and tend another fire, one that burns within us as the outer world dims.” 🌾Judith Berger

Autumnal 🍂Equinox Blessings to you and yours. Pay attention to the stresses you are experiencing during these most transformative times. Stress alone and the unwillingness to witness presence can be detrimental to our health internally leading to many inflammation issues with our skin. Many Muses are experiencing just this scenario with all we are processing at this time. Let nature lead the way and make time to heal.

My very own star sent from the heavens to teach me valuable lessons and reminds me of who I am. She’s famous for saying “Why do you get to be the mom?! I was your mother once!” And she’s possibly right. As so I’ve been told. We are here together in this time space of existence to learn from each other. Both strong personalities, yet both very gentle and soft of heart. Today she’s 9 and my metal Rabbit is strong yet super sensitive and this year has proven to be most transformative.

We as parents and those that choose to be in the role of a parent have been entrusted with the greatest responsibility on earth, the stewardship of another. Our children aren’t possessions we own, they aren’t to be silenced or pushed aside. In this time of great shift for humanity we are entrusted to educate with compassion, teach our children how to be sovereign and trust in their faith and intuition. Trust them with the truth, don’t lie to your children. Hold space for them, tell them they are special, let them scream when angry. Teach them the ways of nature, about their temple and about sacred love. Teach them about respect for themselves and for their fellow human and the lands and animals that sustain us.

Let them stay up late, giggling with friends, staring at the stars and sleep in late. It’s time to raise a new generation of humans.

Happiest of solar returns my magical Virgo muse, your 9th year will be a most wonderful year of discovery..... I just feel it💞

#9

Saturday night vibes...

DETOX & NOURISH with dry brushing head to toe, a lil glow time with the Clear Quartz Master Gua Sha tool, cool dip in saltwater bath, and then temple nourishment self massage with the California Body Oil, rich with skin loving oils, aromas that beckon the redwoods and crystal vibrations. AAAAHHHHHH......

How do I make the time??? Get a friend of the kitties to come over and set them up with slime making materials... Voila! MAMA TIME🥂

You are worth of time. You are worthy of self love. You are worthy of health. Take care and take back your beauty + wellness.

Upon meeting a Muse for the first time, the consultation is focused on the first medicines: WATER & FOOD.

Here’s the recipe for my favorite Fall salad. Loaded with vitamins, minerals & healthy skin loving fats. So easy to prep ahead or toss together for a quick dinner. Do best to choose organic/local when possible and always wash your veggies really well.

Base ingredients:
🥬mix of greens
🥬walnuts
🥬roasted pumpkin seeds
🥬honey crisp apples
🥬 avocado oil Honey Mustard Vinegarette
🥬goat cheese
🥬avocado slices

Optional protein:
🐟wild caught salmon- love adding wild salmon baked with coconut oil and a smoked sea salt. Makes for an elegant dinner served with a dry organic/biodynamic Pinot Grigio. Stay light on the alcohol though. Especially those with inflammatory conditions such as rosacea, distended capillaries or acne.

The sun is setting earlier and even the Texas breeze is a bit cooler... The slower crisp days of Fall are almost here🍂🌻🌾

I’m most comfortable on the water, little turtle and snake heads bobbing, tree stumps resting quietly under the gentle waves, their peaks serving as perches for the seagulls, cranes and ducks as they look for fish. The lake is surrounded in flora and fauna, various kinds of trees provide homes for all the wild life. It’s quite romantic and inspires me. Being submerged in nature heals our whole body in ways unimaginable. From our spirit to our physical health, nature balances us and feeds our soul.

With everything going on in our world , it’s now more important than ever we focus on LOVE & HOPE. Trust our intuition. Listen for the divine as the messages become clearer. Remove the noise of media chatter, put our hands to work crafting vs scrolling. Today is Venus Day and 9/11, a day for remembrance and to focus on what brings us joy. No one will get out of this life alive. This existence is not intended to last forever but to serve as curriculum for our soul. Don’t let it pass you by because of schedules, to-do lists. It’s your life and despite what the “9-5” system of hustle and consume we have grown up in, you have the power to design it. “They” just aren’t happy when you figure this out. Be strong yet gentle. Be brave yet humble. Do something you love today. Be with those you love and if you can’t, call them (don’t text).

Yesterday was a most rewarding day of service for me at Misaotra. But today, it’s back to virtual school for us. Honestly I love being her teacher and look forward to these days no matter how challenging they can be. Headed to kitchen now to make a cup of (first Love was coffee) , diffuse frankincense & tangerine in my new Aria diffuser, listen to birds and squirrels on the balcony and say thank you to Source for my life, my loves and for the here & now.

You are LOVE dear Muse🤍 Blessed Venus Day🕊

Not all Muses are womxn. The Sanctuary serves all humankind. enjoyed a much needed mask of Honey Berry Enzyme & rejuvenating therapeutic massage today 💆🏻‍♂️

Since their move to Texas from Oregon, I’ve had the honor of getting to know & his beloved (one of my favorite humans) as married Muses and kindred spirits 🙏🏼

I woke early this morning with the urge to write you a love note. It's with the deepest gratitude for you and my ability to serve my fellows beings, that I wake every day thankful no matter what. Recently a dear Muse asked, " How do you stay so joyful and always optimistic?" I laughed a little and said, "I have no choice." Some days are not so joyful and tears flow out of the blue. At times I'm overcome with grief and sadness for our world, what my daughter's future could look like. But no once does worry or fear take over my heart. Faith in Source, nature, love and the beauty I believe humans are capable of creating gives me hope.

We are certainly all in this together. Our lives are intertwined in ways you cannot even imagine, but know it is true. I ask you dear Muse to not lose faith, hope. As I type my littles sleeps peacefully, the wind blows gently and the birds sing to welcome the new day. Get outside. Witness the miracles around you and know all we can do is the next right thing.

When the foundation of good health has been laid, by making the most of sunshine, fresh air, sleep, water and food, it will be time to turn to the little details about the care of the complexion, the hair, the teeth, the nails. ~ VATSYAYANA
