🎉 Celebrating Elyse as she heads into her senior year! 🎉

We were so lucky to have her with us this summer at Northern Sun for her internship. She brought such great energy and spirit every single day, and even taught us about primitive reflexes in babies while learning about them herself. 🍼✨

Elyse has been diving into these and sharing her knowledge with us,plus she got hands-on practice with our office baby, Laelynn. 💕

Elyse, we love you so much,don’t be gone too long! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do this year. 🌟

Happy Mother’s Day!

Today we honor the incredible strength, wisdom, and love of mothers everywhere. Whether you’re a brand new mama, walking the journey of motherhood, or holding space for others in their mothering role, we see you and celebrate you.

At our midwifery and naturopathic practice, we are continually inspired by the power of women’s bodies, the miracle of new life, and the deep connection between mother and child.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your sacred journey. You are doing amazing work—and today, we hope you feel deeply appreciated.

Today is International Day of the Midwife —

To the midwives who walk beside women through the most raw, powerful, and vulnerable moments of life: thank you. You hold space, hold hands, hold babies, and hold hearts.

You remind us that birth isn’t just a medical event—it’s a deeply human one. Your calm in the chaos, your strength in the unknown, and your fierce, quiet advocacy change lives every single day.

Whether you’ve been that steady voice in the dark, the warm hands catching a baby, or the presence that made someone feel seen and safe—your work matters more than words can ever say.

Happy International Day of the Midwife. You are heroes in scrubs and soul.

Tell your story in the comments below—or tag and thank a midwife who made a difference in your life 🌸

🚨 Tick Season is Here – Protect Yourself from Lyme! 🚨

As the weather warms up, ticks are becoming more active—and so is the risk of Lyme disease. Protect yourself and your family with these simple steps:

✅ Prevention Tips:
• Wear long sleeves, pants, and light-colored clothing to spot ticks easily.
• Use tick repellents- Natural alternatives like lemon eucalyptus oil.
• Perform tick checks after outdoor activities, especially in wooded or grassy areas.
• Shower after being outdoors to wash away any unattached ticks.

🩺 If You’ve Been Bitten:
• Remove the tick carefully with tweezers, pulling straight out without twisting.
• Watch for symptoms like rash, fever, fatigue, or joint pain.
• Consider getting tested—
We offer Lyme disease testing—early detection is key to effective treatment.

* University of Maine Cooperative Extension: Offers a free tick identification and state of engorgement service, and can also test ticks for Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis.

Don’t let ticks ruin your outdoor fun! Stay informed, stay protected, and reach out if you have concerns about Lyme disease.
