Precious girl, thank you for choosing us. Being your mama is already teaching me so much. You are the sweetest little combo of snuggles and spitfire. A cubby little bundle of love and laughs. These past 6 weeks of motherhood have just flown by in an instantI’m ready to hit the pause button now. I just want to soak you up for as long as I candirty diapers and all. : @janebrokenshire #newbornphotography #newborn #10daysold #preciousmoments #babygirl #junebug #motherhood #momandbabygirl #youandmegirl #iloveyou #slowdown #stjohnsnl #babysnuggles

This was so beautiful I just had to share. I definitely needed to read these words today. @weareamma No, no, you have it wrong, I will not be working to get my body back. She was never lost.... She was here, giving every moment and detail to this sweet baby. She was pushed and exhausted, stretched and stripped to make space for a new life. Please stand back and aside, For her sacrifice she will not be scrutinized. She will be loved, and thanked and bowed down to. She will be allowed her time to heal and be settled into. This body’s work will not be forgotten, hidden or erased. And if you feel it should, you understand nothing about the gift she has given. No, no, Body, don’t listen. Because I see you. I thank you deeply. You did so good. . Tag a new mama. .

Today is a day I will be eternally grateful for. My first Mother’s Day with our sweet baby June and almost 5 years celebrating Mother’s Day with our fur baby Earl. This day is a day packed full of emotion for so many people, for so many reasons. To all the new mamas, to those patiently waiting to be mamas, to those on the wild rollercoaster ride that is the fertility journey, to those who have been told they cannot have a baby, to those who have lost a baby, to those who ha...ve been judged by society for actively choosing not to have babies, to those who have lost their mothers or lost touch with them... I see you and I send so much love. And to all the fur baby mamas out there, to the aunties and grandmas and friends who love our littles unconditionally and as if they are their own...today we celebrate you! #mothersday2021 #momkind #fertilityjourney #fertilityawareness #herestoyou #motherhood #iloveyoumom #furbabies #newmom #firstmothersday #grateful

This is 29 weeks! Where does the time go!? I honestly have no idea! Upon finding out we were pregnant I had such big plans of sharing real life experiences from my pregnancy journey on all my socials and intertwining it with fun TCM insight and self care rituals....alas, here we are. I guess that’s as real life as it gets? The days, weeks, months just seem to be slipping away. With little babe due mid April my goal now is to just stop and find these quiet moments. To soak in this incredibly crazy thing that my body is doing and to share any insight that I can as I head down the homestretch in this third trimester. Ok guys....here we go! . #29weekspregnant #thirdtrimester #slowitdown #babybumb #boyorgirl #timeflies #tcmforpregnancy #acupuncturist #acuforpregnancy #bumplife #endlessgratitude #justbreathe

LEO FULL MOON: JANUARY 28 "The Full Moon is occurring in Leo at 9 degrees on January 28 at 2:16 PM ET. This Leo Full Moon can offer us some illumination when it... comes to the desires and dreams of our heart. Leo is asking us to be present with what is coming to us and where we are wanting to go. This is a powerful time to work on the details of ideas and put in the effort where we want to see results. Be aware where energy is flowing, as where we put our roots can wind up draining us if it is not in alignment with our deepest truth. The Full Moon is illuminating the need for some peace and stability in our lives. This can mean limiting interactions with those who intentionally cause stress, finding some calming outlets in our everyday life such as yoga, exercise or meditation or developing any peace centered practice. This is a good time to set boundaries as well as we look towards moving forward in the new year and let go of what is no longer serving your highest good and open to what will support instead.

Using the smoke of different herbs is very helpful for cleansing your space of negative energy. Fire and air and earth elements combined.... Do you use herbal smudges?

Clinic Policy Update In light of the increased COVID cases occurring across the country right now and with the news that NL is pulling out of the Atlantic Bubble, our team @onemindbodynl is asking all patients who have travelled outside of the province (even within the Atlantic provinces) to self-isolate and refrain from booking an appointment for 14 days following your return home. Thanks so much to everyone for your cooperation! #covidpolicy #policyupdate #stjohnsnl

Heart-filled smiles of gratitude to all my patients who continue to show up day-in and day-out. I’m so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for allowing me to join in on your healing journey. #thesmilebehindthemask #endlessgratitude #stjohnsnl #acupuncturelife #traditionalchinesemedicine

Nourishing the kidneys! As promised in my last post, here are a few of my favourite tips for building kidney energy and supporting the body beyond just the physical: 1 Stay hydrated! ... 2 Make a pot of nourishing bone broth to sip throughout the day or add to soups, stews and sauces. 3 Take an intro to Qi Gong class where you can learn to harness the energy within your body and sync breath with movement. 4 Eat dark/black foods to help build up kidney reserves (black sesame seeds, black beans, black berries). 5 Add walnuts, and goji berries to your trail mix snacks or morning oatmeal. 6 Salt is the flavour of the kidneys so try adding in naturally salty foods like seaweed and olives into your weekly meal plans. 7 Sit with your fear. Fear is the emotion of the kidneys. When repressed it can build beyond a manageable level that can ultimately deplete the energy in our kidney system and create havoc in all other systems of our body. Journaling, guided meditations and talking about it with a trained professional or close personal connection who you know can hold space for you to be vulnerable are amazing places to start. 8 Make a list of things that get you excited, areas of your life where you feel the most enthusiastic, things that you feel very driven to experience/accomplish, etc. Write them down. Put them up on a wall. Make a road map of little steps that will help you move closer to these inner passions that ignite your willpower. 9 Use black healing crystals such as jet, black onyx, obsidian or black tourmaline to balance Kidney energy and the root chakra. These stones absorb and mobilize yang energy toward the kidneys so that we have the energy to do what we want to do. Carry them in your pocket, put them on your nightstand, meditate with them on your abdomen below your belly button. Practice saying no. This is a hard one, but when we find ourselves always doing things we don’t really want to do (in order to please others) we are actually wasting and depleting our vital kidney yang energy. . : @janebrokenshire . #kidneyenergy #acupuncture #traditionalchinesemedicine #bonebroth #fallvibes #preparingforwinter #energyflow #qigong See more
