Information on Essential Oil Use & Disclosures:
Using Essential Oils Safely
I do not diffuse or apply oils during Labor/Delivery, to protect the instinctual Mother/Baby hormonal exchange. It is known that the strong aromas of essential oils can alter a baby’s interest in initiating breastfeeding. I would never want to come in-between a Mother and her baby and her breastfeeding goals.
To purchase oils, I recommend Edens Garden
“You are pregnant and you are powerful. You are bold and you are beautiful. Go forward in your boldness, in your beauty. Trust your body to birth and know that the collective power of women worldwide will be with you.”
