🌱Rescheduled date: 6/29 🌱

and I are co-hosting an inaugural Higher Healing Doula Retreat in Sacramento, California. Our intentions for this retreat are as follows:

1. (I)nform BIPOC Doulas on the Holistic methodologies and benefits of implementing mindful practices in efforts to help birthworkers better decompress and promote personal wellness

2. (D)iscuss efforts on how to better educate and support clients by utilizing integrative medicine to help address pain management, provide mental health support and uplift social and spiritual wellness.

3. (C)elebrate BIPOC Birth Workers

*I.D.C* - I. Don’t. Care. We are releasing societal stigmas as we continue to progress and reclaim our birthrights. This retreat is dedicated to uplifting doulas/birth workers and is open to professionals who work in the maternal health sector i.e doctors, lactation consultants, pediatricians, obstetricians, midwives, maternal health advocates etc.

We are currently offering a two tier ticket sale for those that are Cannacurious ($85) or those that are Cannaconnoisseurs ($185). Let’s learn how to better support one another and the community we serve.

🍂September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month🍂

🍂Read this post for more info on symptoms & demographics🍂

🍂Cancer & Cannabis: (1) patients may consume to address pain and discomfort. (2) certain cannabinoids (THC & CBD) induce apoptosis meaning they can kill cancer cell.
🍂Cannabis/Cannabinoid therapy can be used in conjunction with other treatments to target cancer and improve quality of life

Hey Budz 💚

🌱Cannabinoids interact with our Endocannabinoid system to us help maintain balance 🧘🏿‍♀️

🌱 Some cannabinoids from different sources can actually have the same function. For example, Anandamide (made in our body) brings us feelings of happiness and euphoria…THC (made in certain plants) is known to have the same effect! ☺️

💚💜💛Black Maternal Health Week💛💜💚

🤰🏾This week is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Black birthing-persons to bring awareness surrounding health disparities in pregnancy and birth for the population, as the incidence of severe maternal morbidity is 166% higher for Black women (NIH, 2022).

🤰🏾Pioneered by Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Black maternal health week aims to encourage dialog focused on health problems and promote solutions based in policy, research, and community activism

🤰🏾The Indi Women’s Club is dedicated to increasing health equity for Black birthing-people through education, pregnancy support, and advocacy. We will continue to be champions for this cause to bring culturally competent and inclusive care, and give clients the tools and resources they need to sustain wellness over their lifetime.

✨What to expect from your doula✨

✨DM✉️ “birth plan” to schedule a FREE consult✨

🪴This is why I say cannabis prohibition IS a feminist issue. This bill unfairly targets a vulnerable population and could stop birthing-patients from receiving the medication they need and prefer.
🪴Think about it..what if the reasons for wanting medical cannabis are due to the common symptoms of pregnancy (nausea, inflammation/pain, insomnia) ? ALL of which cannabis has proven to reduce or alleviate. It would force patients to look elsewhere (usually the illicit market) to fulfill their wellness needs, and unregulated products are the REAL threat to infant maternal health.

Hey Budz,💚

Here’s some info I found on cannabis assisted treatment and PTSD. 📗

Our Endocannabinoid System is so important for overall wellness, when it’s not working properly it can affect our physical, psychological, social, and even spiritual wellness. 🧠

Hopefully, we can get to a place where cannabis is part of our first-line treatments and patients feel safe and confident talking to providers about consumption. 🗣

Take a look and let me know what you think. 💭 References available upon request.
