Doctor Mama Bear

Dear August,
Please stay a little longer, you’ve been so good for my soul.

Mountain lakes 🌊
Farmers markets 🧺
Butterflies 🦋
Family time 🥰
Time at the barn 🐎
Healing in the clinic 🌿
Run club 🏃🏼‍♀️

I am looking forward to the reset that September brings but for now I want to linger a little longer in the last week of August 😌🌼

Do you feel this too?

What if we taught our daughters how to observe their cervical discharge so they could learn to live in-tune with their cycle long before trying to conceive 🌊

What if we taught our daughter the terminology + female biology so they knew just how miraculous their female body is 🌹

What if we brought our daughters to acupuncture with us to model what prevention & true holistic medicine looks like 🌿

What if we taught our daughters how to reconnect with Mother Earth whenever they felt disconnected or overwhelmed 🌳

What if we taught our daughters how to illuminate their natural beauty with herbal serums, gua sha & cosmetic acupuncture so they felt like the queens they are 💫

Lately I’ve been loving supporting mamas & their pr***en & teen girls in clinic. Come visit me at Mama | Holistic Pregnancy & Motherhood Clinic 🌿💫🫶🏼

One of the simplest ways to support estrogen detox + decrease bloating is by adding more cruciferous veg into your diet (roasted, steamed or sautéed to maximize absorption)

Start with my broccoli & spinach soup 🥣
•2 heads of broccoli 🥦
•1/2 pot of water
•2 cloves of garlic
•big hand full of fresh spinach
•about 1/2 cup fresh parsley
•black pepper
•Himalayan salt

Bring to a boil, then cover & simmer for 20 min or so. Add 1/2 cup grass fed butter + 1/2 cup grated parm & blend with immersion blender.

Top with fresh parsley or basil, a little chili flakes for a bit of spice or a drizzle of wildflower honey 🍯

Lmk what you think 🫶🏼🥣

Your period Report-card 🤎🌷🧺
(Save this for later)

In my practice I evaluate menstrual blood like the 6th vital sign 🧐

The colour of your bleed can quietly tell us about:
• circulation
• hormone balance
• heat vs. cold
• blood nourishment
•ovulation quality + luteal phase insights
• how supported your body feels overall
• pelvic stagnation

Bright red. Dark red. Pale pink. Brown. Burgundy.

None of these are random.
Each one is a message 💌

What is your period telling you?

From my teacup to yours,

Idk, maybe it’s just me?? But I think it’s kinda chic to follow your intuition in your mothering journey, trust what your body is telling you & lean into holistic medicine for yourself & your family 🤍💫🌿

POV you’re 38 weeks & in that place of in-between.

Waiting patiently for your little bundle of love to arrive.

Wondering who they are,
& yet also knowing exactly who they will be 🤍

Your hips are achey,
Your heart is full,
Your home is ready.

Any day now you’ll enter the birth portal 💫

The journey from maiden to mother that will crack your heart wide open, ask everything of you, challenge you & also show you a strength within yourself you never knew existed.

You will be met with intensity & if you find your breath & surrender to the waves you will also find the deepest rest you’ve ever felt in between them.

Your breath will deepen,
Your body will open,
& you will be become mama 🤍

She is you.

🤍

Something about morning on the paddle board 🌊

Collecting shells on the beach 🐚

Time beneath the summer sun 🌞

Date nights / beach runs

& family time + ice cream 🍦 that just does it for me 😌🫶🏼🤍

To the mama growing her family or the woman feeling ready to leave behind maidenhood & step into motherhood.

This is where we begin.

We lean into the feminine, the Yin.

Slowly, dip a toe in. Find a new rhythm as you embrace consistency in your day to day nourishments, like daily herbal tea, sleeping before 11pm and nature walks around your neighbourhood.

Chinese medicine isn’t fancy, it’s boring & effective because it teaches us to tune-in to seasonal living in a world that constantly pushes us to live in the future.

If you’ve read this much, take a big inhale in and big exhale out with me 🤎🌬️

I’m glad you’re here.

From my teacup to yours,
Dr. Brittany
