So grateful for the chance to celebrate love and family in such a fun city this weekend. 💃🏻🎉 These beautiful women are my people, and being able to step away and spend time with them is truly the best gift. The dress code was eccentric, I think we were spot on!
Life feels so much richer when we have the freedom to slow down, make memories, and just be together. ❤️
I L🌀VE making memories with my family!

As a midwife and holistic practitioner, I’ve seen how lipedema is often linked with unresolved trauma -emotional neglect, chronic stress, even the trauma of living in a body that never seemed to “fit the mold.”
In my latest blog, I share how I support myself and my clients with a gentle, holistic approach, including:
• Essential oils for nervous system and lymph flow
• Vibration plate for daily lymphatic support
• Simple tools for trauma-informed self-care
I just want to drop in with a heartfelt note of gratitude. Thank you for showing up, for following along, and for making this space so meaningful. Your presence, your stories, and your trust are a gift I don’t take for granted.
Every message, comment, and question reminds me why I do this work, to walk alongside women like you who are curious, courageous, and committed to their well-being. Together, we’re building something truly special: a community rooted in connection, growth, and holistic support.
And because I always want to leave you with something of value, here’s a little reminder I return to often: Your body is wise. It speaks in subtle ways and holds deep knowing. When we slow down enough to listen, we often find the answers we’ve been looking for. 🌿
With so much love and appreciation, thank you for being here. I’m grateful we’re on this journey together. 💫

A week in the Arizona sunshine with the people who make my heart the fullest. 🧡
Watching my daughters laugh together, seeing their partners join in the fun, and soaking up every moment with our sweet grandbabies… this is the kind of medicine that fills me up in all the best ways. Paul and I felt so much joy just being with them—sharing meals, playing games, swapping stories, and letting time slow down.
This trip reminded me: Family is the rhythm, the rest, and the reason.
Feeling grateful, renewed, and already dreaming about our next adventure together. 🌵✨

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.
She loves to share how these powerful plant extracts can empower you whether you are a midwife, doula, mom or just someone who wants to take control of your health in a natural way.
“Essential oils are one of the most powerful tools I have in helping to keep the family’s I serve happy and healthy. I know these essential oils have helped my clients have an easier pregnancy, labor and postpartum as well as ease my job as their midwife.”
Essential oils have the potential to enhance and compliment every woman’s right to a fabulous pregnancy, labor and birth experience.
Stephanie is a Licensed Midwife (LM) and Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), a Therapeutic Gemstone Practitioner, and author. She is a public speaker, an essential oil educator, and an AromaTouch Technique Instructor.
