Supporting you beyond birth

As a birth and postpartum doula and HypnoBirthing® practitioner, I believe in giving families practical tools and education to help them feel informed, prepared and supported.

Essential oils can be one of those tools.

As a doTERRA wellness advocate, I share education around using essential oils safely and intentionally as part of your birth preparation, postpartum journey and everyday family wellness.

What are essential oils?

Essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic extracts derived from plants. They capture the natural aromatic compounds of flowers, leaves, roots, bark and other parts of a plant.

Essential oils have been used for centuries as part of traditional wellness practices and can be incorporated into everyday routines in a variety of ways.

Because they are highly concentrated, it's important to understand how to use them safely and appropriately.

A natural tool for your birth toolkit

Birth preparation isn't about having one tool that will guarantee a particular outcome. It's about building a toolkit of knowledge, skills and supportive practices that you can draw on throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

For some families, essential oils can be a beautiful addition to that toolkit.

Aromas can become part of creating a familiar and calming environment, and some people enjoy incorporating particular oils into relaxation, massage or their birth space.

My goal is to give you information and options so you can decide what feels right for you.
