Happy VALENTINES DAY! I’m choosing to celebrate by loving myself and my heart with the BEST!!! 💖💖💖 Today i joined Dennis Mac and his friends on their mono fruit cleanse where i will enjoy red grapes and super aminos for 3 days. I also started heart aid to give my ticker some extra TLC💖💖💖 I started February off with a 67 hour water fast to honor my grandfather who was killed by a drunk driver on his 82nd birthday. I love to continually regenerate my body and show my kids that i will do anything to stay healthy for them so they don’t ever have to worry about me again! February♥️ is American Heart Month, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by showing our hearts some heart-felt LOVE! Did you know heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one person dies every 36 seconds in the US from cardiovascular disease. Heart health is extremely important for a vital life❤️🩹 The American Heart Association recommends that adults maintain a diet of organic wholefoods; leafy greens with an abundance of fresh fruits, seeds, and vegetables. For heart health, I use a comprehensive plant-based formula created by a cardiologist. It’s designed to revitalize, nourish and protect with a buffet of essential nutrients. The AHA also recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity. You can also do a combination of both. Here are their four favorites: •Walking •Swimming •Cycling •Resistance Training Get up off the chair and get outside… and if you can’t, try to get close to an open window to breathe in some fresh revitalizing air! #sharebecauseyoucare #ourbodiesaremagical #cellularregeneration #healthiswealth #monofruitcleanse #ColonLove #PreventionIsBetterThanCure
I completed a pelvic function course today . Definitely stepped out of my comfort zone to enhance the support I provide and gain valuable insights. . It was not easy and I did feel uncomfortable and out of place at times but extremely proud of myself for sticking it out and taking in all the information my brain could hold . This Monday was about growth and learning, and I feel I accomplished both those goals 💪🏻 Sometimes you have to say yes when opportunities arise, even if you are not sure where it will land in your plan . Cheers to the rest of the week and lots of growth along the way! 💛 Dommie. #nursecoach #northcoveco #nursecoachboardcertified #dommieshauncoaching #healthandwellness #journeytopeaceandwellness #holisticselflove #liveahealthylife #holistichealthcoach #PreventionIsBetterThanCure #prevention #ourbodiesaremagical #believeinyourself #lifeafter40 #myemptynest #bringingjoytoourheart #myselfcare #personalgrowth #nocomfortzone #motivationmonday #neverstoplearning

💛💛 The Fear That’s Been Holding Me Back and How I’m Overcoming It Even though I have two decades of nursing experience as a bedside critical care nurse and a decade of leadership experience, courses is holistic practices, courses in functional medicine, a graduate of an in-depth Nurse Coach course, Board Certified Nurse Coach from the American Holistic Nurses Association, read more books than I can count, attended more work shops on how to support clients through tough transitions, invested my time in working with my own coaches as I worked to be the best “Dommie” I can be, watched my clients soar while I supported them to be the best individual they can be….. I must admit that I have been playing small and not yet making the impact I know that I am here to make! Why have I played small? One word…..FEAR! I have allowed the fear of judgement and failure stop me from sharing my gift of guidance and support. Because this passion of mine is so different than the medical system I have worked in for many years, my confidence has been low, even though my belief in this work is undeniable! I am tired of playing small! . I know that there are many women I can help who are experiencing life transitions after 40. Such as menopause, empty nest syndrome and the search for their new identity, just to name a few! I know these women want to find a way to tackle health challenges that come with the hormonal roller coaster, they want to have enough energy to be active, they want to set boundaries that will allow them to only say “yes” when they truly want to, they want to feel beautiful in their “skin” even if their “skin” is changing, they know that their emotional health is important for their overall health and they are ready to find a way to take control of the emotions. Mostly, they want to THRIVE and not just survive. I’ll share more of my story in future posts… But for today, if you would like to see me make a bigger and more positive difference in the lives of amazing women, Will you please drop me a note of encouragement below? #ourbodiesaremagical #believeinyourself #lifeafter40 #myemptynest # #dommieshauncoaching #myselfcare

💛💛 According to the National Institute of Mental Health Self care is defined as “taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health”. . How does that sit with you? . I am a full believer that what we do in our days is either helpful or harmful to our overall health. . I am also a believer that these needs change for us all the time. . One day we may need peace and the next day we may need to be surrounded by those we love . One day we may need to cry and the next day our bodies may be craving a good old belly laugh. . The challenge is listening to your inner thoughts and not pushing your needs aside. . To me, that is true self care . Listening to what your heart is saying you need at that moment. . Although I do have self care requirements in my days, items that attempt to keep my mind and body as healthy as possible. I continue to listen to the little voice that may or may not give me more direction. . Today my heart told me to “get outside and breathe!” . I may have only taken an extra 10 minutes to weed through my succulents this morning but it was enough to put a smile on my face and in my heart. . Today, this is what a portion of my self care looked like. . What about you? What does self care look like for you? 💛 Dommie #nursecoach #northcoveco #mindsetcoaching #lifestylecoach #nursecoachboardcertified #dommieshauncoaching #healthandwellness #journeytopeaceandwellness #holisticselflove #liveahealthylife #holistichealthcoach #PreventionIsBetterThanCure #prevention #decreaseinflammation #decreasemedicationneeds #ourbodiesaremagical #believeinyourself #lifeafter50 #myemptynest #bringingjoytoourheart #myselfcare
When we give ourselves TIME and SPACE, our whole world operates differently. I just moved past a two week cold and laryngitis…being a mime for almost two weeks was quite a fascinating adventure. My voice was GONE. Not even a squeak emerged. It’s fascinating how old patterns creep in, even if what we are doing and experiencing is moving at a pace due to excitement and love for our craft. ✨ We still need balance. Over the past few years, I am coming down with a new pattern… A cold 1x per year, where for a couple years I had none. A wise friend stated last year that our bodies need an update, like a computer. So I’m grateful for my update. I’m grateful and amazed at the healing our bodies accomplish and provide for us. How grateful and lucky are we?! Has anyone else has a cold or sickness out there? An update?🥰 I’d love to know! #ourbodiesaremagical #healing #laryngitis #wintercold #strength #rest
Happy Friday Urbies! Tomorrow we're offering a very special workshop that we think so many will benefit from. We all deal with or have dealt with pain in some form or fashion and it can be debilitating. When we allow pain to go unchecked or just live with it, the body can suffer from stuck energy which over time can manifest into disease or other physical impediments. As this process progresses, areas of the body can become weakened and even more pain can develop. Why live like this when your magical mind & body can help alleviate the suffering. Gina Shelton, our self proclaimed "Pain Explorer" has developed this two hour workshop to dive deep into how to understand, reframe and work through pain. In this workshop, you will learn: 🧠 emerging details of pain science 🫀 how to find mindful movement, utilizing your breath, that feels safe for you 🫁 breath and relaxation practices to calm your nervous system 🪷 guided meditations that explore and shift sensations of pain Space is limited for this 2 hour session, advanced registration is encouraged. Sign up through our link in bio 👆 Yoga for Pain - 2-4pm - $50 per person #painsucks #mentalanquish #physicalpain #stuckenergy #manifestchange #painrelief #yogaforpain #learntohealyourself #painexplorer #ourbodiesaremagical #urbanyogafw #urbanyogafortworth #loveisalwayshere Gina Shelton studied yoga therapy at Loyola Marymount University with top doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and yoga therapists from around the country.

🍼💧 Unveiling the Marvelous Layers of Human Milk! 🌟🧪 Did you know human milk is not just a simple fluid, but a remarkable and complex concoction of wonders? 🤯✨ Let's take a deeper dive into the fascinating layers that make up this liquid gold and understand the magic it brings to our little bundles of joy. 🥑Fat- The Caloric Punch: The fat in human milk is an essential component that can be found in both the foremilk and hindmilk, but it becomes more concentrated in the hindmilk. This fat is crucial for the baby's brain development, providing the necessary DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and other fatty acids. 🥛 Foremilk - The Initial Elixir: At the start of a feeding session, the breastmilk is thinner and more watery, known as foremilk. It quenches the baby's thirst and contains essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins, offering hydration and nutrition. 🍯 Hindmilk - The Creamy Treasure: As the feeding progresses, the milk transitions to hindmilk, which is thicker and creamier in texture. This rich milk is packed with healthy fats that provide the baby with essential calories for growth and brain development. The hindmilk helps satisfy the baby's hunger, ensuring they receive the optimal balance of nutrients. #BreastmilkLayers #LiquidGold #NourishingWonders #NatureKnowsBest #ForemilkAndHindmilk #LiquidGold #BreastfeedingWonders #NourishingBonds #BreastfeedingMagic #lactationinformation #ourbodiesaremagical #moore2lovedoulaservices #cls #lactationspecialist #doula
It’s #worldbreastfeedingweek and here’s a pic of me and my boy on our proud journey of 3.5 years! My ancestors couldn’t breastfeed their own children, so I did. They were forced to stop feeding their own babies to feed white slave owners’, and then forced to stop early to get back to “breeding”. When my grandmother gave birth in the 60s, she didn’t breastfeed because it was “something white people did”, because of that history. It’s taken Black people some time to reclaim this ritual…and is still something we face today, in addition to so many other barriers that make breastfeeding/bodyfeeding difficult. May we celebrate our victories, no matter the size. A day, a week, 4 months, 2 years…YOU DID THAT!!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
If you are ever in need of a hug and there is nobody about, did you know you can just hug yourself? Your body doesn’t actually know the difference between a hug from someone else or a hug from yourself; it still releases the same chemicals! This is such a useful tool to teach children 💛 #ourbodiesaremagical #hugsarehealing

A mother’s first milk 🤱 Mothers start making colostrum during pregnancy so that it is ready for baby on birth day. Colostrum is a concentrated, nutrient dense superfood that comes in small amounts. 💛 It is perfect nutrition for babies. It prepares baby’s system for healthy digestion. 💛 It helps babies pass their first bowl movements. 💛 It is full of antibodies that fight germs (free medicine!). 💛 It builds immunity. As your mature milk comes in it will change from the gold hue to a more whiter milk consistency. 🥛

…💛💛💛 Thursday Thoughts 💛💛💛 “How’s retirement?” Since I left the hospital this has been a question I get often. 🤦🏻♀️ Apparently people don’t think that a critical care nurse has an opportunity for a career outside of the hospital walls 🤷🏻♀️ On the contrary, those hospital walls pushed me to want more! They pushed me to believe that “we” (as humans) are the “experts” in our own health and “we” as medical professionals should dig deeper and listen more, that WE can prevent so many illness that put us in those hospital walls 💛 So that is what I am doing, working to keep you out of a hospital bed 💛 I am supporting a human with diabetes to decrease her insulin need and advocating that she can make the changes 💛 I am supporting a human with RA to get out of bed in the morning and make changes to decrease the inflammation which will decrease her pain 💛 I am supporting a fellow nurse who is on the brink of breaking due to the last years events while she searches for her love of nursing again 💛 I am supporting a human that has lost everything, including her love for herself 💛 I am supporting a human with thyroid needs that her traditional primary physician says “is normal” 💛 I educate families on the importance of end of life discussions and choices 💛 I seek education from a naturopath that I am able to refer my clients to if needed 💛 (More in comments)

We are so much more powerful than we give ourselves credit for. In Aug of 2020, I had seen the #75hardchallenge circulating in my world. During coronation I needed to get focused for upcoming school. I needed to have a serious come to Jesus with myself. 75 hard consisted of doing the following everyday for 75 days: 2- 45 min workouts, 1 has to be outside, regardless of weather conditions *I was already walking my dog in the morning for 45 min, so adding an additional 45 minutes wasn't so terrible* Reading 10 page *I needed to start reading anyway for school coming up in September* Follow a diet *I follow a plant based diet, but would be flexible when away from home and weekends were a free for all* No alcohol or cheat meals * I have been alcohol free since 10.31.19. Cheat meals was going to be the challenge for me* Drink 1 gallon of water *I am a huge water drinker already* Take progress pictures *I wasn't thrilled about this, but was SO thankful I did!* Over those 75 days I had to get completely honest with myself. If I didn't do any of those tasks, no one would know. I could easily check it off and go onto the next day. But, that was the pattern I was working on breaking: Having integrity for myself. Not hiding from myself. Feeding my ego bullshit excuses. Being completely transparent with myself. Being accountable to myself for again, what results I have created thus far. Those 75 days taught me #howStrongIam #MyThoughtsCreateMyReality #MasteringMyMindset #lovingmyself #ourbodiesaremagical #fitnessover40CANbeEasy I changed my internal dialog. I went back to re-parent my little self & cheer her on. I started visualizing my body morphing into a healthy fit body. When I started releasing emotional trauma, forgiving & manifesting what I wanted to create with my body, magical things happened. Our bodies speak to us. Ailments aren't something that "just happens" these are signs of an underlying issue that haven't been resolved. That blocked energy gets stuck in our physical body's. Understanding this has changed my life. Healing can be easy, we just make it hard. #IamMelissaLucero #energyhealer #intuitiveguidance
Class is in session and we’re in person again! I’m so excited to be back teaching again this fall at EBC High School and to see these students in person just warms my heart! . Day 2 and we’re talking all things tastebuds! This was one of my most favorite projects in elementary school, when we took cotton swabs and dipped them into sugar water, salt water and citrus water and experimented to see how it all tastes! . Sadly, I’m finding out more and more that the youth don’t know about their tastebuds and apparently teachers aren’t teaching this in school anymore! . Learning about our tastebuds allows us to connect better to what we eat, smell and associates in life! And when we understand the significance of our body and all it provides us, it’s like one massive map that can help us navigate better! . Did you ever have class growing up where you did a tastebud experiment? What did you learn from it? How has it helped shape your life moving forward? . Today we’ll be playing around with fruit and bitter greens while dipping into salt, sugar, lime and olive oil! . . 👅 . . #tastebuds #acid #salt #bitter #sour #sweet #umami #fat #citrus culinaryandnutritioneducation #culinaryandnutritioneducator #highschool #ebchighschool #tongue #ourbodiesaremagical #bodymapping #understandyourbody #lovewhatyoudo #knowledgeispower #healthiswealth
First morning in over a week I’ve actually felt somewhat normal, human like again, with no complaints. And 2 of the loves of my life to wake me up with their laughter and smiles! I’m so tired of taking meds to counteract the med side affects. Yay for healing!! Happy Tuesday people 😘 #healingtakestime #ourbodiesaremagical #sothankfulforeverythinginmylife #healingmyself #emotionalhealing #everyonegoesthroughtrauma #healingmysoul #itsgonnabeagoodday
I just felt like this needed a spot on my page ❤ #internationalhomebirthday I've never felt more empowered than when I gave birth to my son at home, unassisted. We worked together, both our bodies, and everything was as perfect as it could have been. I'll never forget that day. I am so happy and proud to say that I DID IT. Never underestimate the power of your body. Listen to it! I can't wait to plan for this beautiful experience again 💕 #homebirth #unassisted #blessed #ourbodiesaremagical #motherhoodrising #itshappyhere
Do you menstruate on the new moon or the full moon? ⠀ MENSTRUAL / NEW MOON 🌑 DAY 1-5⠀⠀ The uterus sheds the inner lining of soft tissue and blood vessels which exits our bodies in the form of menstrual fluid through the vagina.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ FOLLICULAR / WAXING MOON 🌓 DAY 1-13⠀⠀ During this stage the follicles in the ovaries mature and ends with ovulation. The main hormone controlling this stage is estradiol. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ OVULATORY/FULL MOON 🌕⠀⠀ DAY 14⠀⠀ The pituitary gland secretes a hormone that causes our ovaries to release a matured egg which flows into the fallopian tube on the 14th day of our cycle. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ LUTEAL/WANING MOON 🌗⠀⠀ DAY 15-28⠀⠀ This stage happens after ovulation and before the menstrual phase. The egg that is released during the ovulation phase stays in the fallopian tube for 24 hours. During this time the lining of your uterus normally gets thicker to prepare for a possible pregnancy or if sperm does not impregnate the egg within that time, the egg disintegrates and ends with the menstrual phase.⠀⠀ ⠀ This is simply a guide and our bodies our uniquely our own with beautiful variations in our menstrual cycle.⠀ Reposted from @duvet_days #menstrualcycle #autonomy #moon #mooncycle #fullmoon #newmoon #wainingmoon #waxingmoon #ovulation #fertility #birtheducation #doula #broward #doulasupport #femalereproductivesystem #reproductivehealth #knowledgeispower #ourbodiesaremagical
Let’s talk PERIODS. . Extra bloat. Fatigue. Mood swings. Cramps. Depression. Anxiety. . You wake up and your monthly visitor has shown up. Your cramping, tired, so bloated your pants don’t fit, and you want to eat everything in sight. . As Elle Woods once said, “Exercise gives you endorphins and endorphins make you happy.” Working out on your period is beneficial for you in so many ways. Endorphins are also your body’s natural pain reliever, so increased levels can help soothe those awful cramps, aches and pains. . Stay hydrated. I know - seems counter productive when you are feeling SO bloated. Actually, drinking a gallon of water a day keeps you from being bloated and we need ALL the water during that time of the month ladies. . CRAVINGS😬. Don’t be afraid to let yourself give in to those cravings girlfriend!! 10 years down the road, you are not going to care that you ate that bowl of ice cream or indulged in that piece of pizza. It’s okay to allow yourself food freedom, as long as it doesn’t take you down the rabbit hole of binge eating. . Lastly, don’t forget to rest. Sometimes our body just needs some good old rest. Get your 7-8 hours of zzz’s. Don’t skip out on the things that help your body recover. . I used to skip my workouts and healthy habits during my period, and now I push myself harder to get those workouts in and drink all the water. My periods are less of a burden when I keep up with the things my body needs from me☀️ #periodlife #womensupportingwomen #thethingsyouknow #goals #keepworkingout #momlife #keeppushing #dobetter #coach #healthylifestyle #fitcoach #ourbodiesaremagical #embracetheperiod

Could not end the year without a workout. Its what my body has been use to for the last 2 years & than to take a halt Bc of nausea & exhaustion & still going on has been tough for me mentally and physically. But God blessed me with this pregnancy and what more can I do is move my body. I tried our new Barre program that is releasing in January but I got lucky enough to get VIP early access to the first 5 workouts and this couldn’t honestly be anymore perfect for this pregnancy. Low impact but high intensity working those small muscle areas. I can’t wait to go through the 60 days & just feel good through this last pregnancy. My body is changing and I am taking in these changes as I grow this beautiful human. #ourbodiesaremagical My January training group is Now open for registration & if you are ready to take on 2020 full force. Reach out! 📩🤳
You have 1 body so learning to love it and nourish it to support you as best it can is one of the most powerful things you will ever do in your whole life! Likewise, accepting others exactly as they are without judgement or criticism is powerful enough to change the world!! No 2 bodies will ever be the same. Everyone is individual and perfect as they are. Seeing the beauty beneath the skin, especially your own, is where the real power lies in creating the connection, support and love the world needs. - - - #loveyourbody #bodylove #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #ourbodiesaremagical #weightedblankets #weightedblanket #lapblanket #sensoryprocessingdisorder #autism #autismawareness #anxiety #sleep #adhd #add #sensory #calming #occupationaltherapy #selflovematters #comfortbuddy #widlflowerholistic #entrepreneur #psychology #teachersupport #insomina #confidentkids #parenting #calm #parents #magic
“When a baby suckles at its mother's breast, a vacuum is created. Within that vacuum, the infant's saliva is sucked back into the mother's nipple, where receptors in her mammary gland read its signals. This "baby spit backwash," as she delightfully describes it, contains information about the baby's immune status. Everything scientists know about physiology indicates that baby spit backwash is one of the ways that breast milk adjusts its immunological composition. If the mammary gland receptors detect the presence of pathogens, they compel the mother's body to produce antibodies to fight it, and those antibodies travel through breast milk back into the baby's body, where they target the infection.” . credit: The Natural Parent Magazine #ourbodiesaremagical #breastfeeding #bfingtidbits #science #immunologic #bacteriostatic #bfingisbeautiful #specialbond #stayhealthy #createantibodies #suckling
I woke up this morning and remembered that these wee pins carried me over 18 kms of trail yesterday! 🤯😳🥳 I also injected short acting instead of basal insulin (3rd time I’ve done this so can’t call #rookiemistake anymore) 🤦🏻♀️ So am currently inhaling all the food in the house, including oats with date syrup on repeat 🤤 Plus I love that instead of a medal that you toss in a drawer & forget about, @pbbtrails gave us these awesome mugs instead ☺️ #ourbodiesaremagical #t1dproblems #type1diabetes #typeonerun
A new exciting study from the University of Utah School of Medicine has found that the microbiome may protect us from viral induced neurological damage. This research could change the way we look at neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and more. Dysfunction of the gut bacteria might be key in allowing harmful viruses to trigger neurological diseases. In the study, mice with disrupted microbiota showed less active brain immunity through decreased activity of the microglial cells (immune cells in the brain) and that germ free mice receiving antibiotics were unable to control viral replication within the brain leading to increased paralysis after being infected with a neurotropic virus. They also found that the microglia depletion led to worsening demyelination. The study found that signals from microbes in the gut are essential to quickly clearing viruses in the nervous system and to prevent damage. The microbes do this through something called TLR4 signaling. They are unsure as to which bacteria in the gut is responsible for this signaling, but I am sure there is more information to come. This research might also give us further insight into conditions such as PANS/PANDAS and other childhood disorders. With the microbiomes role in so many conditions, it’s worth checking on your flora with GI Mapping. If you’ve never had GI mapping, it’s a great way to check out your microbiome and to see if there are any unhealthy guys hanging around. It also gives us information about digestion, absorption and gut inflammation. 🦠🧬🦠 Research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31309928 #microbiome #microglia #socool #guthealth #immune #neurodegenerativedisease #healthegut #heal #ourbodiesaremagical #naturalmedicine #healthygut #PANS #PANDAS #patewellnesscenter
Imagine if we all walked around acting like the queens and goddesses we are. How wonderful that would be. This human path is challenging and everyday you turn up and do the best you can with what you’ve got. That is worth celebrating. Recently I read a @thugunicorn post and it struck a chord in me. Emotional pain can make us afraid to be seen and succeed, not strong enough to be hated and teased - the people who don’t understand you or don’t see you don’t matter. Shortly afterward, I read @marieforleo’s post about how women - and members of other traditionally underrepresented groups - are socially conditioned to self deprecate and downplay their abilities leading to emotional, mental, creative and financial consequences. So can we all just embrace our unique skills, talents, gifts, abilities, dreams and desires and shine shine shine!? 🌟🌟🌟 “I’m not slowing you down baby, I’m just doing me” @tanyamarkul #empoweredwomen #risesisterrise #mylifebelike #emotionalpain #breakthrough #loveyourself #youareenough #personaldevelopment #ourbodiesaremagical #yoga #breath #mental #emotional #physical #health

Still in awe of this 7lbs 13oz bundle of joy I saw come into this world yesterday yelling for Mama ON his actual EDD. Only his head was out when he started screaming and then once on Mama’s belly he gifted her a healthy méconium poop. 😍 💩 #birthisbeautiful #birthisamazing #everybirthisdifferent #ourbodiesaremagical #proudofmama #daddybirthsupport #doulalove #doulawork #doulasupport #doulameright #doulamerightpdx

“Regardless if you choose to have a child or not we are incredible beings and what our bodies are capable of is nothing short of perfection. Don’t ever forget how much power our womb/uterus carry and take time to honor just how sacred it is.” #repost from @duvet_days. This graphic is a beautiful representation of the magic that lies within. ⠀ ⠀ #ourbodiesaremagical #birthisbeautiful #pregnancy #maternity #babybump #parenttobe #momlife #pregnantinrva #babies #birthcenter #waterbirth #midwives #midwife #homebirth #embracebirth #birthrva #rvabirth #birthrichmond #richmondva #rva

"To ask of the body that it represent only itself, and not those deeper parts of us, our mind and spirit, is to reduce it to no more than a shadow of its true significance, and to ignore its true function. A body at peace and at ease with itself reflects a soul thus at peace and ease." - Nora Franglen, from 'Keepers of the Soul' - 📷 unknown - - #keepersofthesoul #inneralchemy #elemental #yangbecomesyin #heavymetal #breathedeeper #inquirewithin #beinyourbody #feelittohealit #bodywork #godeeper #heartwork #keepitsacred #listenclosely #masteryoflove #nycacupuncturist #ourbodiesaremagical #soulwhispers #selfcare #talktoyourcells #thejourneyrightnow #tao #wuwei #wearetheuniverseexperiencingitself #mindbodybodymind #acupuncture
HC had her first little cold since we arrived in oregon. All she wants to do is nurse and hold her "love heart" that she got at the Saturday Market today 💕 We have been nursing on about an every other day or once every 3 days schedule for a while now. I'm not sure how much milk is even left, but I'm so thankful she still has access to those nutrients and antibodies that cater to her illness perfectly. 🌟 I'm not gonna lie. I am so done with nursing. But she asks multiple times a day. So I'm hanging in just a little bit longer for her, especially through this huge transition! . . . . #HCmoments #thankfulthrees #motherhood #breastfeeding #childledweaning #bfmomma #nursingtoddlers #nursies #threenager #positivevibes #normalizebreastfeeding #ourbodiesaremagical #goddessesofig
One Week postpartum body 💙 I'm not wearing spandex under my high waisted pants in the after shot, this is my raw before and after, a gentle reminder it takes our bodies 10 months to create a human and our organs move, giving myself 10 months to get back 😌💪🏽 For now enjoying bubs 💙👪 #Takeyourtimeladies #OurbodiesAremagical #postpartum
