Inflammation isn’t the enemy.
It’s communication.

During pregnancy and postpartum, the body is working overtime. Building tissue. Shifting hormones. Expanding blood volume. Healing after birth. That’s a lot of change in a short window.

When I reach for Copaiba, it’s not to override symptoms. It’s to support the body’s own calming pathways, especially when mamas are feeling achy hips, uterine tenderness, breast fullness, or that wired-but-exhausted nervous system after a long day or a long night with baby.

✨ Gentle midweek tip:
Dilute Copaiba with a carrier oil and apply along the low back, hips, or bottoms of the feet before rest. Consistency supports regulation. Regulation supports healing.

Pregnancy and postpartum aren’t meant to be endured.
They’re meant to be supported.

Your body knows what to do.
Let’s give it what it needs. 🤍

Get Ready for Labor Smoothie

This pregnancy date smoothie is sweet, slightly tart, and deeply nourishing, designed to support your body as it prepares for the hard work of labor.

Recipe
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup frozen cherries
• 1 scoop dōTERRA chocolate protein powder
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• 1/2 banana
• 6 dates
• 1 cup ice
Blend until smooth.

Pregnancy smoothies are a simple, delicious way to get extra nourishment and protein. In the first trimester, they can be easier to tolerate than full meals. Later in pregnancy, they make a balanced snack or protein-rich breakfast.

This smoothie includes one powerful pregnancy superfood: dates.

Research suggests that eating about 6 dates daily in late pregnancy may help:
• Support cervical ripening
• Shorten the onset of labor
• Reduce the likelihood of induction

Because of these benefits, dates are best used consistently. If possible, begin including them in the third trimester though earlier use can be supportive as well.

As labor approaches, large meals may not feel appealing. This smoothie is ideal for labor itself: cool, refreshing, easy to digest, and gently energizing with natural carbohydrates and protein.

A simple, supportive way to nourish your body before and during birth.

About The Essential Midwife

Stephanie Fritz, also known as The Essential Midwife, has a very successful midwifery practice in Southeast Arizona. She covers an area 2.5 hours all around her from the desert to the mountains. Many of her out-of-hospital births are in very rural areas. She is the mother of four daughters, three of which were born at home, and all breastfed. These experiences have shaped her vision of what women’s health care should be. She knows first-hand what a difference information and a sense of control can make when having a baby.

She believes that knowledge is power. With comfort, support, trust and privacy, birth can be simple and beautiful. She loves to empower the families she serves through education and choices, by teaching them that as they take their health into their own hands they can improve their lives.

She believes the relationship with her clients is very important, and can have a big impact on the birth. She often says her clients are her best friends. She offers in depth and personal prenatal visits where care is given to the mother’s emotional needs as well as the normal physical assessment of mother’s and baby’s well-being. It is important to feel comfortable, as this is the time to bond and create trusting relationships. Her clients will tell you she has a special gift to always make you feel better when you leave than when you came. It’s not uncommon for tears and laughter to be shared in the same hour.

She has enjoyed using essential oils since the 80”s with her family and has experienced the many benefits they offer. Over the last several years the quality and purity of essential oils has improved and far surpassed anything she has used in the past. In 2008 she was introduced to a quality of therapeutic essential oils that she felt confident in using with her clients and their babies as a natural health solution. She has watched her clients’ health and comfort increase dramatically in the last eight years both physically as well as emotionally with these gifts of the earth.
