During this time I’ve sought out the expertise and experience of many doctors, midwives, naturopaths, and herbalists to build up an arsenal of safe options. Now I’m sharing them here with you!

Health, Wellness, Fitness, Nourishment. It's crucial for us yet we can become overwhelmed with the amount of information out there.

I do my own research, I look for the best products containing the least amount of chemicals/toxins for a decent price. I also should add I believe the only way to become our best selves is to be gentle and give ourselves time. Obsessing over our skin or gut or hair etc can be exhausting. So these products are specifically ones that should make YOU feel GOOD! ✨💜

My go-to drinks for a busy workday are anything that gives me a good mix of energy and/or protein. I usually reach for something with a little natural caffeine or a protein boost to help me stay focused and fueled throughout the day.

Tea has always been a comfort to me. Once I started peri-menopause I searched for natural ways to help relieve symptoms such as insomnia, hot flashes, & anxiety. The more research I did, I found that many herbs were studied and have shown to have helped these very symptoms and much more. Herbs are God’s gift to us. We should be receiving this gift! So many herbs, plants, roots, and more grow in our own backyard already. Tea has been beloved for centuries, and for good reason. Cheers to comfort and health!

Being on a wellness journey doesn’t mean you have to cut out snacks. Here are some of my favorites that are better for you and your body

Because sometimes your body just needs a supportive squeeze — like a weighted hug for your blood vessels. Compression gear can help with things like POTS, circulation, or even just feeling more “held together” when your nervous system is acting feral. BUT, not everyone vibes with compression (and in some cases it’s not safe — so always check with your doc before you go full sausage-casing chic). On this list, you’ll find: 👖 Compression shorts, leggings, socks & sleeves 🛋 Alternatives for folks who can’t do compression but still need grounding (weighted blankets, cooling wraps, and other sneaky helpers) 🌀 Options that support without overstimulating your nervous system Compression = one tool in the survival kit, not the whole toolbox. 🥰

If you have chronic illness you know exactly what a “spoonie” is. If you are reading this & wondering what the heck is a “spoonie”? I don't blame you, I didn't either… until I became one. (But don't go anywhere this list is for you too because it's a Self Care list for anyone.) “Spoons” are how people with chronic illness rate their energy levels from day to day. Everyone- chronically ill, or not- has a set number of spoons to get through the day. Let's say 20. Every task you do uses energy, aka spoons. Sometimes getting out of bed, changing your clothes, & brushing your teeth may take 5 spoons, other days might be 2, we never know from day to day how much simple tasks will take from us. When we run out of spoons we quite literally crash. This is where & when learning & knowing about Self Care is important. Self Care, also allows you to take care of those around you. You are not lazy or selfish. You are surviving.

I work in the OR every single day so I compiled a list of essentials that help get me through the day!
