Someone out there needs this today……

The postpartum window is often called the “fourth trimester” for a reason.

It’s a season of massive transformation — physically, emotionally, hormonally, and relationally. And yet, many new parents move through it with minimal support for their own nervous systems.

Neroli essential oil is a gentle yet powerful option to support this season with care, regulation, and emotional grounding.

🌼 Why Neroli?

Extracted from the blossom of the bitter orange tree, Neroli has been shown in research to:

Lower cortisol levels and help reduce feelings of anxiety

Support parasympathetic activation, promoting a sense of rest and safety

Lift mood without overstimulation

Soothe hormonal fluctuations that can contribute to mood swings or emotional flooding

Its soft floral aroma is comforting, non-invasive, and often well-tolerated, making it ideal for sensitive postpartum nervous systems.

Ways to incorporate it:

Diffuse it!

Use roller on wrists or heart

Smell from the bottle during breastfeeding or moments of overwhelm to re-center and regulate

Postpartum doesn’t need to be navigated alone, or disconnected from the body. Neroli offers a sensory anchor back to calm, connection, and self.

Self-care is not a luxury; it is a fundamental necessity. It is the practice of nurturing your mind, body, and spirit so that you can show up fully for yourself and for others. You cannot pour from an empty cup — tending to your own needs is not selfish, it is essential for living a life of balance, purpose, and joy.

Let’s get real...
Some days I feel on target with my health—other days, I’m DONE. It’s a struggle. It’s not a straight line, and I know I’m not alone.
I've always exercised. I love the way it makes me feel! However, lately, I'm finding it difficult to get movement in daily.
What’s ONE thing you’re struggling with right now when it comes to your health?
No judgment—just real talk and support. 💛

5 Ways to Release & Refresh Emotionally with Essential Oils

Ever feel weighed down by doubt, negativity, or old emotional baggage? Just like we declutter our homes, we need to clear emotional clutter to feel lighter, more confident, and refreshed.

Essential oils work with your mind and body to support emotional cleansing—helping you release stress, reset your mindset, and restore your energy. Here are five simple ways to clear negativity and step into confidence!


1️⃣ Breathe Out Doubt, Breathe In Confidence
Try this: Add 3 drops of Lemongrass + 2 drops of Peppermint to your diffuser.
Why? Lemongrass is the Oil of Cleansing, clearing out doubt and stagnant energy, while Peppermint brings mental clarity and renewal.

2️⃣ Let Go of Emotional Overload
Try this: Apply Frankincense + Lavender to your temples and wrists before meditation or deep breathing.
Why? Frankincense promotes inner strength, while Lavender soothes emotional tension, making it easier to process and release what no longer serves you.

3️⃣ Cut Ties with Negativity
Try this: Rub 2 drops of Tea Tree + Cypress over your heart and breathe deeply.
Why? Tea Tree helps remove toxic attachments, and Cypress encourages flow and emotional movement, allowing you to break free from what’s holding you back.

4️⃣ Energize & Elevate Your Mood
Try this: Add Wild Orange + Bergamot to your palms, inhale deeply, and swipe onto your pulse points.
Why? Wild Orange is uplifting and energizing, while Bergamot is the Oil of Self-Acceptance, encouraging confidence and emotional release.

5️⃣ Set Intentions for a Fresh Start
Try this: Add Clary Sage + Ylang Ylang to a roller bottle with carrier oil and apply before journaling or setting new goals.
Why? Clary Sage clears mental fog and inspires clarity, while Ylang Ylang releases emotional burdens and brings in joy.

6. I'm adding this one........get an aromatherapy massage here at the spa! I incorporate dōTERRA essential oils into your massage and customize them to your specific needs.

Here’s to letting go, feeling lighter, and stepping into your best self!
