In season 2 of Reproductive Rebel we discussed how the postpartum period is the second golden opportunity for healing in a woman's life. I'm not one to talk about "bio hacking" but there are some practices that have been understood in ancient times and other cultures that we have lost sight of in modern times that can be the difference between 10 years of postnatal depletion (think: brain fog, low energy, lack of libido, pain and sleep issues and so much more) and reclaiming a more vital and healthy you after baby.

You can literally heal the sins of the past if you care for yourself well in the postpartum. Let's break that down to the "how to" level. In this week's episode we talk about how you eat in the postpartum has a significant impact on maximizing the healing potential of this golden opportunity in your life.

I became a Holistic Women's Health Practitioner because I was angry and frustrated. I would go to see my doctor and I would have my symptoms dismissed. Sometimes they didn't even make it a point to look up from their computer in the precious 15 minutes I was in the office! Talk about feeling like a number and not a person who was suffering. I wanted answers. It took trip after trip and still - nothing. I turned my frustration into a passion which led to this career path that I am now offering to you.

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Do you want to help others not feel the way you do? Today is the last day to join the 2025 class of Holistic Women's Health Practitioners training to make the world a better place for women. Class starts September 3rd. It is all doable online - no need to haul yourself to meetings/classes. Log in and fit the course work in around your busy schedule and join me for the live class on Tuesdays. I built this system for busy people.

If you have a fire in your heart - don't let "too busy" stop you from starting a career that will change your life and the lives of hundreds of others. Together we can create the change we want to see in the world. I can't wait to see you in class!

You are what you eat. That is a well worn saying I know. It has gotten so much mileage over the years because of how true it is. Whether you are talking about data "garbage in/garbage out" when data mining or talking about your health and diet what you put in has a direct impact on what comes out the other side. Nothing could be more true than in postpartum.

Health issues so many struggle with after having a child(ren) are directly linked to how well (or unsupported) the fourth trimester and the postpartum healing window is. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, currently expecting or newly postpartum - you won't want to miss this one.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the holistic women’s health practitioner program and I thought I would jump on and answer some of these before registration closes on August 28th!

Can we talk for a moment about laws that are held in regards to body sovereignty? Did you know there are NO laws governing what a man can do with their body but there is for women? Let's unpack this insanity in this week's episode.

This isn't a political discussion - its a legal one. Regardless of your political leanings this is a thought provoking episode you won't want to miss (especially in an election year.)

I know I shared this podcast episode before but if you are passionate about natural solutions for women's health challenges - it's a great listen. In this podcast episode Amber and I talk about what a holistic women's health practitioner is and where the origins of this program were birthed from.

This program was born from my heartache, frustration and lack of results from the traditional medical model. It's become my life's work to meet people in their frustration and let them know they aren't alone and they aren't out of options. The beautiful souls who have joined me on this quest for a better standard of care have answered the call. Are you next?

Registration for this year's holistic women's health practitioner program ends August 28th! Let's change the future. I can't wait to have you in class.

I saw a reel recently that got me all fired up. It was about body autonomy, laws and gender bias. Let's talk about legislation that is gender specific - join me for this week's episode. It's a spicy one!

This full moon is a juicy one for me. (Where are my fellow Moon sign in Aquarius folks at?!) Your relationship with your emotions may be complicated right now because Aquarius is a sign that has a strong need for emotional freedom. Pay close attention to fear, anger or jealousy that may arise during this time. Get curious and ask where they are stemming from. Aquarius is governed by Uranus and along with the full moon chime you are feeling a few of the frequencies that play key roles in this lunation.

Want to experience the full attunement for this Full Moon in Aquarius? Listen on my YouTube channel.

You have different phases in your menstrual month. Is the follicular phase the first half or the second half? The interplay of your hormones is so much more than the few days before your period and the bleed. I felt like a whole new way of supporting my body opened up when I learned more about how my cycle works.

One misconception I hear ALL the time is that acid reflux is caused by too much stomach acid. I hear it often enough I decided I had to debunk this myth. Are you or someone you love suffering with acid reflux? You won't want to miss this week's episode.

After all this high vibration energy we have experienced during the Lion's Gate portal I feel like its time to bring it back down to Earth. The Earth frequency represents the 24 hour cycle that we experience in one day here on earth. This is a great frequency to listen to when you have been changing time zones and feel disoriented with the time change thanks to jet lag. This is a nourishing grounding frequency.

Since we are also in the season of Late Summer in Traditional Chinese Medicine, we are in the season of Earth. Listen to this frequency when you are looking to ground and when you are experiencing digestive distress (too many back yard BBQs, anyone?) and see what you notice. Share your observations in the comments below!

Do you struggle with acid reflux? It’s all too common in today’s world. Most people reach for an antacid but that is the opposite of what you need.

Join me this week as we talk about how acid reflux isn’t caused by too much acid.

Joy. This is the word we usually think of associated with how we feel once we have conceived - but what if we told you it is a foundational aspect of the pre-conception journey as well? I sat down with author Khristee Rich of and we discuss how joy and the pre-conception journey are fundamental parts of a healthy conception, a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

Fertility is so much more than just the physical functioning of your body. When conception doesn't happen right away - what do we do? We go to the doctor and the diagnostic tests begin. While for some this can uncover helpful information - it's only 1/3 of the story.

Join me this week as I sit down with author Khristee Rich of as we discuss all the facets of the fertility journey and how the emotional and spiritual body are often overlooked and equally as critical in the conception equation.

New Moons are a time for new beginning - sowing the seeds of intention. You are "planting" the things you wish to call in or manifest in your life. This new moon is particularly potent because..
1) it occurs in the Lion's Gate portal which is a ripe time for setting intentions
2) it’s a new moon which is all about setting intentions and
3) it is under a Leo moon. Woo! Look at all that powerful manifesting energy!

Leo is ruled by the Sun. While Leo is known for being dramatic and feeling comfort in moments where you impress others - be aware there is a shadow to this energy as well. You may feel fear of criticism and struggle to accept feedback. It is important to work through themes like this as they arise so you can use them for areas of growth.

If you want to plant these potent seeds propelled by the frequencies of this new moon - be sure to head over to my YouTube channel for the full New Moon in Leo attunement. What seeds are you sewing this new moon? Comment below - let's manifest this together!

I have had more uncomfortable conversations with doctors than I care to count. Some told me it was time to "remove my broken teacup" when I was struggling with overly heavy periods. Some wouldn't make eye contact with me as they offered advice that would leave me with a permanent decision around my fertility that I wasn't ready to choose. My story and experience aren’t an isolated experience. I hear heartbreaking stories like mine in my practice every day.

Join me this week as I sit down with author Susan Salenger as we talk about the importance of trusting your gut feelings, the power of a second opinion and how to truly feel empowered in a system that leaves you feeling like you are failing and don't have options.

Music and sound have always had a rich place in my soul. I started playing violin at the age of five and was playing professionally by the time I was 12. My undergraduate in music left me wanting to find a way to marry my love of sound and helping people and it took years for me to realize how that would work best for me. Acutonics and sound healing have been such a rich gift in my life. I love being able to see people transform their health using the power of frequency and sound.

I've shown you forks and chimes, but there are many ways I use sound in clinical practice to help people come into right relationship and heal. Since we are still sitting in the sign of Leo governed by the sun - what better frequency to share with you then the Sunray chime. Listening to this chime always makes me feel brighter and happier - just like sitting outside on a sunny day.

Have you talked to your doctor and felt uncomfortable with a procedure or a medication that they suggest to you? Did you feel like you got all of your questions answered before you needed to make a decision?

Join me this week as I sit down with author Susan Salenger as we talk about the importance of a second opinion, common challenges in our current health care system and how trusting your body's wisdom can be a big part of your health and longevity.

I couldn't imagine a better time to introduce you to the Zodiac frequency. We are currently sitting in the Lion's Gate portal and if you are working to manifest intentions - this frequency helps to move blockages in that work. It feels very calming and meditative. Used with the Ohm frequency it creates a 3rd. This interval is good at moving energy that is "stuck" in a gentle way. The frequency is based on the vibration of moving through the entire zodiacal cycle which takes over 25,000 years! Listen to this frequency when trying to get out of old stuck patterns (think: chronic challenges) and create space to move into new alignment.

As a person who spent her early years suffering with endometriosis and later on secondary infertility with new cycle challenges, I always felt like the traditional medical model failed me epically. I was gaslit. I was told it "wasn't that bad" and was being dramatic. I was told to take my organs out when I wasn't totally sure I was finished having children. I was told that there was nothing medically "wrong" but they could do intervention...and the list goes on. My experience isn't unique. I knew that if I was having these challenges others were too. I didn't want others to suffer the way that I did. From that frustration Moon Essence® and the Holistic Women's Health program were born.

The Holistic Women's Health Practitioner program is different. It is a synergy of tools, history and psychosocial inquiry to help practitioners understand the current challenges, equip them with the tools to be able to hold space for others (no - you aren't just a number!) and get to the root cause of why certain challenges arise and what can be done from a natural perspective about them. If you are as frustrated as I was with the current standard of care and feel the call to be part of the change in the world - you won't want to miss this opportunity.

The exclusive tuition discount is about to run out. You have two days to join me for this year's Holistic Women's Health Training program. The discount expires 7/22. On the fence? Let's get on a 1:1 call to make sure you don't miss this limited time opportunity!
