Moon Phases Of Life

01/16/2026

I’m holding space for each season of your family’s life—from newborn breath to elder presence. Here’s one grounded ritual you can try today, chosen with nervous-system safety and ancestral wisdom in mind:

• Infant: Gentle skin-to-skin swaddling after feeds to regulate heart rate and soothe the vagal tone — helps newborns settle and supports breastfeeding rhythms.
• Child: Daily before-bed belly breaths with a warm lavender compress to calm the autonomic nervous system and improve sleep consolidation.
• Adult: Weekly grounding bath with mineral-rich salts and a simple breath practice to reset the HPA axis, lower cortisol, and restore resilience.
• Elder: Rhythm-focused hand massages with nourishing oil to support circulation, maintain touch-based comfort, and honor relational continuity.

These practices reflect how we blend naturopathic physiology and ancestral ritual so care feels both evidence-informed and soul-deep. I’m Amy — trained as a midwife and naturopath — and I stay with families across seasons so one trusted relationship supports growth, grief, and every transition in between.

I remember those early mornings when nausea felt like a constant companion — and how small, tender practices helped me find steadier ground. If you’re navigating morning sickness, here are gentle, evidence-informed approaches that honored my body and supported healing: eat small, frequent snacks (plain crackers or high-protein bites), sip water with a pinch of Celtic salt or electrolytes, try ginger (tea, candies, or supplements), consider vitamin B6 with your care provider, use acupressure wristbands, and lean into rest, fresh air, and calming scents like lemon or peppermint. Herbs like chamomile and lemon balm can soothe, and simple mindfulness or short walks often ease queasiness. You don’t have to figure this out alone — listen to your body, reach for what feels nourishing, and seek guidance when symptoms are severe. If you’d like more resources or personalized support rooted in midwifery, herbal medicine, and whole-family care, I’m here for you. What small ritual has helped you through pregnancy nausea? Share below — your wisdom might be the balm someone else needs.

We walked with one family through a whole season of life — from pregnancy, to postpartum, then a childhood wellness visit, and finally an elder-care conversation — and I stayed with them the whole way. Using herbal supports, naturopathic testing when needed, and nervous-system-informed energy work, we wove practical care with ancestral wisdom so each decision felt steady and informed. As someone who’s grown this practice from lived experience, I offer continuity you can trust in Woodstock and surrounding communities. Ready to explore family-centered care together?

I remember holding a newborn in my arms while the grandmother quietly braided herbs into a pouch — a small ritual that later became a touchstone for the whole family.
