🕯️ National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day 🕯️

Today, we pause to remember and honor the little lives that were too precious for this world. For those who have experienced the heartbreak of pregnancy or infant loss, know that you are not alone. We stand with you in love, support, and remembrance. We grieve with our very own Empowered Moms who have experienced loss. ❤️‍🩹

💙 October 15th is a day to raise awareness, but also a time to offer comfort to those grieving and to create space for healing.

At Empowered Wellness, we acknowledge the strength of every parent who has faced this unimaginable loss. We see you. We honor your journey. Today, and always, we light a candle for the lives that touched our hearts, no matter how brief.

Together, let's break the silence and support one another with compassion and understanding. You are never forgotten. 💖

🌍💚 World Mental Health Day 💚🌍

Your mental health and pelvic health are deeply connected.

Stress, anxiety, and trauma can show up in the body — often in the pelvic floor.
👉 Chronic tension, pain, urgency, or difficulty relaxing can all be signs your body is holding more than just physical strain.

Caring for your pelvic health means caring for your whole self.
🧘‍♀️ Mind-body techniques
💬 Open conversations
💆‍♀️ Gentle movement and therapy

This World Mental Health Day, let’s break the stigma — your emotional wellbeing deserves as much care as your physical health. 💚

✨ Your body listens to your mind — and your mind listens to your body. Treat both with compassion. ✨

🏖️ Feeling as dry as this beach sand?

If you’ve noticed vaginal dryness, irritation, or discomfort during intimacy, it might be due to low estrogen levels — and you’re not imagining it!

✨ Times when estrogen naturally dips:
🌸 Breastfeeding – estrogen stays low to support milk production.
🌸 Hormonal birth control – certain types suppress estrogen.
🌸 Perimenopause & menopause – natural decline in estrogen affects tissue moisture and elasticity.

When estrogen levels drop, the vaginal and vulvar tissues can become thinner, less elastic, and drier. This can lead to itching, burning, or pain — but the good news is, there are solutions!

💧 Vulvar moisturizing tips:

Use a vulvar moisturizer (like Kindra, coconut oil, VMagic, or Hyalo GYN) a few times a week to maintain comfort and tissue health.

Use lubrications that are paraben free, sulfate-free, fragrance-free. Avoid KY and Astroglide. We like brands like: Good Clean Love, Slippery Stuff, Uber L**e, Mama Medicine.

Choose unscented, gentle cleansers or just rinse with water.

Avoid douches, wipes, or scented soaps that can cause irritation.

Stay hydrated — inside and out!

If dryness is persistent, ask your provider or pelvic floor therapist about vaginal hyaluronic acid suppository or DHEA creams for local support.

Schedule a consultation with us about vaginal dryness!!

💪 Real life. Real balance. Real moms.
Between patients and pumping sessions — this is what working mom life really looks like. No perfect balance, just the beautiful, messy rhythm of showing up fully in every role. 💕

At Empowered Wellness, we’re proud to support moms in all walks of life — from new motherhood to every stage that follows. 🙌
Here’s to normalizing it all — the pump breaks, the passion, and the power of women making it happen every day.
