I love entrepreneurship. I love the freedom, the creativity, the ability to build something from an idea and shape a life around what matters most to me. I love that I can build a clinic I believe in while still being home with my children.

But I also know that freedom doesn’t always feel like freedom when you’re in the middle of building + mothering.

There is so much unseen work in starting from scratch. Showing up when the momentum hasn’t arrived yet. Making decisions without knowing exactly how they’ll turn out. Learning from your mistakes, picking yourself back up and choosing to keep going.

You have to become comfortable being a beginner. You have to learn to be resilient, to stay committed to the vision even when the day-to-day feels a little messy, and to be discerning about whose advice you allow to shape your decisions.

Not every opinion deserves a seat at your table. I’m learning to seek guidance from people whose work, values and lives I genuinely admire, and to remember that the easiest decision isn’t always the one that will help me grow right now but will build a foundation.

Sometimes growth asks you to have the difficult conversation. To try something new. To be seen before you feel entirely ready. To take responsibility for the part of your future that’s yours to create.

And slowly, those decisions expand what you’re capable of holding. They build your confidence, your capacity and your tolerance for the uncertainty that comes with becoming something more.

That is part of why our first Mama team meeting meant so much to me.

My vision for Mama has never been just about growing a clinic. It’s about creating an environment where other practitioners can grow into the people and business owners they’re capable of becoming, too.

And together we can make a much larger impact in serving mothers than if we weree to do it alone.

A little bit of a different share here, but I promise the rosehip tincture recipe is coming soon 🌿

I think birth preparation can begin long before the hospital bag is packed or the homebirth pool is set-up.

It can look like learning what helps you feel calm. Practicing positions that feel good. Understanding your options. And teaching your birth partner / spouse a few ways to support you when words might be hard to find.

Acupressure is one of the tools I love teaching women and their partners to explore as part of birth preparation (& it gives dads a meaningful way that they can help)

Not because birth can be planned perfectly, but because feeling supported matters.

Save this for your pregnancy, or share it with someone preparing to welcome their baby. 🤍

I think that I love Chinese medicine so much because it’s a way of living, not just something I practice in clinic but truly medicine I live by & integrate into my mothering.

I think back to a decade ago when I was deciding between applying to the midwifery program, acupuncture + tcm or potentially moving for the naturopathy program.. at the time it was incredibly difficult to choose but now in hindsight I can see that I’m exactly where I am meant to be, sharing the medicine that was meant for me.

Chinese medicine has changed my life in more ways than I can name, but the overarching theme is that it has brought such a soft rhythm to my life.

There’s an herb for every ailment,
An Acu point for every “off” feeling,
Seasonal wisdom,
Nutrition principles,
& mental health practices.

Chinese medicine is a beautiful & holistic system of medicine & it’s been so neat to share it with my children & my pediatric patients in clinic 🌿

Have you brought your littles to see a TCM Doc? I’d love to know.

One of my favourite Chinese Medicine terms for fertility is Liquid Pearl 🦪🌊

Personally, I think it’s far more beautiful than “cervical fluid”

Around ovulation, rising estrogen signals the cervix to produce fertile, egg-white cervical fluid. This fluid isn’t random slippery fluid, it helps nourish s***m, protects them from the acidic vaginal environment, and creates a pathway for them to travel toward the egg.

In Chinese Medicine, the presence of healthy Liquid Pearl is often viewed as a sign that the body is preparing for conception.

🤍A small clue.
🤍A monthly reminder.
🤍A sign that your hormones are communicating exactly as they should.

The female body is remarkably intelligent.

🌿 Save this for your next ovulation (whether you’re TTC or tracking for family planning)

Every week in clinic, I help pregnant mamas navigate some of the most common challenges of pregnancy.

🤎 Morning sickness
🤎 Blood pressure support
🤎 Breech babies
🤎 Hemorrhoids
🤎 Swelling
🤎 Constipation
🤎 Anxiety
🤎 Birth preparation

And while acupuncture can’t guarantee outcomes, it can offer support, relief, and a space to feel cared for during one of the biggest transitions of a woman’s life.

As a mom of two, and after spending much of my career practicing alongside midwives, this truly feels like my dream job.

Helping women feel more comfortable in their bodies, more connected to their pregnancies, and more confident as they approach birth never gets old. 🌿

One of my favourite tools in pregnancy is moxibustion
🕯️

For centuries, Chinese Medicine practitioners have used moxa at Zhiyin (BL67), a point located near the outer corner of the little toe to encourage breech babies to turn head down.

What I love most is that it’s gentle, non-invasive, and something many women can incorporate into their birth preparation with guidance from a trained practitioner.

Research continues to be encouraging. A 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials involving 2,555 women found that moxibustion significantly increased the likelihood of babies being head down at birth compared with control groups. PMID: 34067379. (PubMed)

The female body is wise ✨
Sometimes it simply needs a little support.

Chinese Medicine is mother’s medicine
🤎🧺🌷

One of my favourite things is opening a text book to reference for a patient in clinic, and when I read a paragraph to her, I see the sense in her heart that everything is starting to click.

The language used in TCM encompasses the whole woman, mind, body & soul and I just love speaking these terms out loud.

Which one did you love the most? Share with me below.

Pregnancy as a rite of passage is both a beautiful experience and one that requires surrender as a woman’s body grows & changes in a way it never has before.

Breast-tenderness in the first trimester can feel achey, heavy & distending as hormones shift and the body adapts.

In these slides I share some pregnancy safe herbs that are also referenced in Aviva Romm MD | Women’s Integrative Medicine ‘s book The Natural Pregnancy Book 💕 great reference if you’re keen on learning more about herbalism in pregnancy.
