Essential Womens Wellness

Our sweet baby Pearl came to see us today — she’s just over 2 months old now and growing beautifully!
Born in April, weighing 8 lbs 5 oz and 20 inches long, she made her debut at Essential Women’s Wellness Birth Center with a calm strength that mirrored her amazing mama.

This first-time mom handled pregnancy and birth with so much composure, grace, and wisdom — well beyond her years. She and her husband worked as a true team throughout the birth, supporting one another every step of the way. It was a powerful thing to witness.

Now, seeing them settle into life as a family of three has been such a privilege. We’re so honored to have been part of their journey.

Welcome again, Pearl. You are so loved. 💗

We've all been there—trying to keep it together while dealing with mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere. Whether it's stress, hormonal changes, or just one of those days, it can be tough to keep your cool.

Here are some simple strategies to help you manage mood swings:

✨ Take a Breather: Step away for a few minutes. Deep breathing or a quick walk can work wonders.

✨ Hydrate & Nourish: Don’t skip meals, and keep healthy snacks on hand to avoid blood sugar dips.

✨ Practice Mindfulness: A few moments of mindfulness can help ground you and shift your focus.

✨ Set Boundaries: Prioritize your tasks and don’t be afraid to say “no” when you’re overwhelmed.

✨ Reach Out: Sometimes, talking to a trusted colleague or friend can help you process your emotions and find relief.

Remember, it's okay to prioritize your mental health—even in a professional setting. Save this post for when you need a mood boost! 💼💕

🌸 My Personal Journey with PMDD/PMS 🌸

There was a time when my workdays felt like climbing a mountain with weights on my shoulders. I was managing meetings, deadlines, and everything in between—while silently battling the emotional rollercoaster of PMDD/PMS.

Some days, the mood swings were so intense that I questioned my ability to keep it all together. The fatigue, irritability, and overwhelming emotions made even the simplest tasks feel impossible. But through it all, I learned that I didn’t have to suffer in silence. By addressing the root causes and finding a supportive community, I was able to regain control and find balance.

If you’re struggling with PMDD or PMS while trying to maintain your career, know that you’re not alone. 💪✨
