Click here to send me a quick message :) We hold so much in our wombspace. Stories, trauma, imprints, births, losses, past sexual experiences, and even more energetic qualities like our creative energy or feelings of safety.So, even if we aren't experiencing any issues "down there" we could still benefit from some regular caretaking just to tend our tissues.But if you *are* someone (like many of us) who's got anything from menstrual cramps to fertility challenges to trauma history to end...

Click here to send me a quick message :) If you've heard of mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), I bet the primary action you've heard about it is that it can enhance dreams. And mayyyyybe that it has an affinity to bring on menstruation?But this herb is so much more dynamic than that. I've often heard of people adding mugwort to sleep blends (with names like "good night's sleep" or "sleep well") and I'm just like, "wait are they talking about the same mugwort as me?"Because for me, mugwor...

Click here to send me a quick message :) It's Autumn equinox time! Well, almost. Technically, it's this weekend (Sunday, 8:47 am eastern time). So, it feels fitting to offer an episode on how to align with the season through foods, herbs and lifestyle practices that can support the transition into Fall. And from the lens of Ayurveda, this seasonal change is particularly significant on the body, mind and spirit, partly because it's the transition from Pitta season (summer) into Vata ...

And even after we travel through...

2024/08/20

Click here to send me a quick message :) As humans, grief is an unavoidable part of life. Loss, illness, unexpected upheavals internally and externally, in relationship to others, self, the earth, our wombs, the cycles and seasons of life, and on and on. There's no poverty of opportunities to face grief, but there is a poverty of grief literacy -- at least here in the United States. Most of us are socialized to contain our emotions and only allow them to flow in privacy. We apologiz...

Click here to send me a quick message :) Last week I had some discomfort "down there." I felt a slight tinge of pain when I walked, and a little itchiness, and it felt like something was growing on my vulva.I took a mirror and a headlamp and checked it out. (Yes, you can do that too. If you've never looked at your vulva, please do. It's a treasure.)What I found was a little red stretched pea size lump inside my inner labia. It was by all signs a Bartholin's cyst.It's something I've heard abou...

2024/08/06

Click here to send me a quick message :) Herbs for surgery? Something commonly overlooked is how many surgeries women and folks with wombs encounter in their lifetime. From high cesarean rates and hysterectomies to endometriosis excision surgeries to hip or knee replacements post-menopause, we experience a LOT of surgical intervention and we're often far underprepared for how we can restore the tissue integrity, reduce scarring, and encourage optimal healing afterwards.The truth is, most heal...

Click here to send me your Q’s, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :) Fertility is a reflection of your overall health, wellbeing, vitality, capacity. I think it's common to pigeonhole "trying to conceive" as all about hormones, but actually our body's reproductive resilience is a mirror of what else may be going on in our bodies. There are so many factors at play, from nutrition to movement to environmental exposures to stress levels to blood sugar to egg and sperm health...

We're often preoccupied with any number of other roles and responsibilities in life, and as women and folks with wombs, we've often been socialized to place ourselves at the bottom rung of importance.Even when we ...

The concept of body positivity kind of requires us to be psyched on our body no mat...

I mean, is that a practical thing or totally intangible?It's a fair question, and one I would have asked many years ago when I was completely and utterly disconnected from the part of my body "where the sun don't shine."It took me many years to find my way there. It's interesting, a couple days ago I was in a circle of colleagues and one of them directe...

Click here to send me your Q’s, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :) If you haven't ever heard of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) aka Bladder Pain Syndrome, you're not alone -- but it's actually a lot more common than you may think. IC might look like all the symptoms of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI's) though it lacks the bacteria that cause those infections. But because it's exceedingly common to not test for bacteria before prescribing antibiotics for a UTI, it can oft...

Click here to send me your Q’s, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :) I'll be the first to admit that it irks me when people use the term "plant medicine" to refer to psychedelics, or what perhaps could be more properly termed "entheogens."First of all, half of those are isolated compounds that are created in labs (perhaps originally derived from plants, but not always) and others are derived from fungi or animal compounds. Like, they aren't even all sourced from plants. And I ...
