Welcoming Whole Earth Wellness

Over the past year I have been slowly working my way towards becoming self sustainable in many ways, including starting my own business. I have done many healing consultations in the past and present and finally decided it was time to get things up and running.

So now I introduce to you all Whole Earth Wellness ~ Healing consultations that connects your heart to your mind,body,spirit and soul ~


I offer many different services including :

• Nutritional consults
• In home Cooking Demo's
• Grocery store tours
• Reiki Sessions
• Breastfeeding support
• Attachment parenting support

I believe that total health is a perfectly balanced state of body, mind and spirit.

 Illness reflects serious disharmony of these elements -- a state of imbalance.

 Most people find themselves somewhere along the continuum that lies between total health and illness. Every thought, word, action, attitude, and belief moves a person in one direction or the other.

 My holistic healing  uses a variety of means to help you understand and embrace the ongoing process of building total health and achieving balance on all levels. Each person is uniquely "sculpted" by a variety of experiences of the body, the emotions, the intellect, and the spirit, and thus benefits from a "personalized" approach to health. Let your journey to total health begin now!

Mama Love

Bright and early this morning around Five am. I was awoken by a sweet little sick girl... tummy aches and pains. She needs lots of 'mama love', snuggles and some nourishing tea.

Most people know that it is important to replace minerals as well as lost water after illness, especially the tummy bug but most electrolyte drinks contain only sodium and potassium rather than all the minerals our bodies need to be healthy.

Very Simply you can make your own mineral-rich herbal electrolyte drink by combining a few herbs.  This nourishing tea contains:

• B vitamins, which support the functioning of the liver and nervous system.

• calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, chromium, potassium, silica, and other trace minerals. Calcium and magnesium help build healthy bones, ease muscle spasms and cramping, and reduce inflammation. Zinc enhances immune system functioning, while chromium helps regulate blood-sugar levels.

To replace lost electrolytes the body basically needs sodium and sugar. The following recipe will help to replenish these electrolytes naturally and also offer the added benefits of chamomile and ginger.

Ginger is anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic and so will help to relieve cramping, reduce inflammation and reduce nausea and vomiting. Chamomile is also anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory but moreover is anti-microbial. In particular it contains chamazulene, which is active against Staphlococcus aureus. In addition, chamomile is relaxing and so will help to calm upset children.
You can also make delicious Popsicles with this tea.

Then she drank up every last bit

How do you give your little one "Mama Love" when they are under the weather?

Our Dreadlock journey

 

As many of you have seen, Brooklyn and I finally did our dreadlocks last Thursday. I had been wanting to dread my hair for over a year now.  I had dreads when Peace was born and I loved them so much but after a couple months I took them out. I am not sure why but seemed right at the time I guess. This  past year  I have had a lot of things going on and just never got around to it.

 Brooklyn's 2 new baby dreads

Brooklyn has wild woman hair. It will dread up in one nights sleep.Mine is the same but doesn't get as gnarly like hers. She has never really liked me combing her hair either it has always been some sort of struggle and many times she has just cut her own hair so it doesn't have to be combed by "mom".

Brooklyn's so happy to have her dreads like mama.

So  for myself I just haven't felt right with long plain hair. I have always had something funky going on with it and with this thin straight hair I could never really find anything to do with it. I mean really other than curl it or braid it nothing seemed to fit. I usually ended putting it up and occasionally wearing it down.

 My dreads two days old

So last Wednesday I added a couple dreads to my hair and instantly fell in love with them again. Yay!! I was so excited . Brooklyn instantly was drawn to them. I could tell she loved them. After explaining to her what they were she immediately said "Mama can you please do that to my hair." I told her that dreads are a journey and they take time but she persisted and as a mama who feels that her children can make their own decisions about their hair I said okay.

 Brooklyn's dreads three days old...She loves adding all the cool colors!

So we are starting this journey together. Brooklyn started out with two dreads and now she has four. I have needle felted some cool colors into her and mine.  Today I am going to add a bunch more personally I think they look awesome on her. I have five dreads now maybe if I get a chance will add some new ones to my hair as well. I guess we will have to see how that goes.

 Dreads seem to fit me. I am not sure why they just really compliment my personality.  I feel like myself and it makes me feel so happy inside.

So we are going to start a journal here each week about how our dreads are doing, what we like about them and keep you updated on how things progress.

What journeys have your taken? How have they changed you?
