Looking for a Mothers Day gift guide that goes beyond candles and robes? I’ve got you covered! I created a unique list of holistic gift ideas that fall into 5 sections: to nourish, to adore, to function, to pamper, and to experience.

She won’t be dissapointed with receiving any of these as gifts, I promise! 💝💐

Every Mother’s Day gift guide is the same. Candles, a robe and some artisan chocolates…What about the gifts that show you know them deeper than that? I’ve got you covered with this list of unique and holistic gifts to honor her well. Most of these are from small businesses as well! Love to all...

The fourth trimester is (in my opinion) the hardest one of all! However, it is also the most sacred and beautiful. It requires adaptation and sacrifice in ways that I couldn’t have prepared for enough-even though I tried! I’m eternally grateful to my husband, and our families, for supporting me selflessly during this time. Receiving care and asking for help is hard for me, but I accepted what was offered and it made me feel so much better!

Postpartum is not just a 6 week journey, and it deserves way more awareness and patience than it’s given. Moms- I see you and I am so proud of you!

My intention was to have an unmediated labor at a birth center with my midwives and doula as support. After 42 hours of doing just that- we had to adapt to the needs of my body and baby. Plans changed and we experienced the other end of my
“dream” spectrum. Although it wasn’t my hope, I am proud of every moment of our story and grateful for the baby in our arms because if it. My faith has never been stronger!

There is so much more to say, if a talking video would help anyone working through similar experiences!

Some of these are alternatives to the common recommendations and others are holistic goodies that you probably haven’t heard of. ALL of them are what I’m using to support me through postpartum on every level!

Curb walking - or any lopsided walking- helps to open the pelvis and allows the head to descend into a good position before birth! 👶🏼 Any other winter mamas full term and ready for baby whenever baby is ready?!

9 months of growing our child...the absolute most incredible, challenging and divine time of my life. The female body is truly amazing!

The third trimester has been the most noticeable
“shift” for me as a first time mom in LITERALLY every way.

Not only is my body changing drastically day to day
- my entire being is as well.

My mind is no longer a logical brain. It is existing in a swirly state of grieving the past, and yearning for the future - all at the same time.

My heart is full of every emotion possible, at all times. Yet my words are unable to express what l am feeling.

My spirit is whispering softly, yet firmly to brace for the most beautiful, and powerful change possible.

It is a difficult and magical phase of pregnancy (& life) that I am grateful for! Morphing into Motherhood has been a greater-than-me experience, and I simply can’t imagine what is right around the corner. 👶🏼🩵🧸

As a Holistic Practitioner, I was SO intentional when building our baby registry and buying items for baby boy. My top priorities are natural fiber materials as much as possible, avoiding any and all unnecessary chemicals or fragrances to come in contact with his skin and air, and items that support a natural transition for him out of the womb.

I have many more items just like these to share, if anyone is interested! What was something you saw that is new to you?
