THE WILDCRAFT APPROACH

Wildcraft is a term used to describe gathering herbs and plants growing wildly in nature, that are unadulterated or purposefully harvested. This is how our ancestors used medicine from the earth to heal each other. They gathered these plants to form remedies that could heal all sorts of ailments. Our craft is in taking this ancient wisdom in combination with our advanced scientific knowledge of today to create a holistic and unique protocol to heal and enhance your health and well-being.

“Never walk alone” Here’s my walking crew!

“Never walk alone” Here’s my walking crew!

I haven’t been able to get in formal exercise recently. Between working and mom life it’s been a bit of a struggle. Although my goal is to get in some regular exercise at some point, I also try not to overly stress myself out about it and give myself some grace that it’s just not realistic for me right this second.

I am religious about getting in daily walks though, at least once a day and often twice daily. It’s such an amazing way to start or end the day. I get to be with my babies, get fresh air, and unwind. I have listened to post casts or music during walks but mostly I just let myself be, let my thoughts flow, and soak in the moments.

What’s your non-negotiable daily zen? 🧘‍♀️

If your answer is A then it may not be best for yo

If your answer is A then it may not be best for you to try Intermittent fasting. ⁣
Healthy blood sugar is critical for fertility! So what's the scoop with Intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting involves fasting for a certain amount of hours (typically 16 hours) and then having a window of time (typically 8 hours) where you can eat. This can be a helpful practice to reset blood sugar levels, help boost metabolism and weight loss, however it is not for everyone.

If you are typically a person that gets irritable and hangry between meals it may be best to try balancing your blood sugar a different way. Especially if you are trying to focus on fertility then you don't want to add more stress to your system by restricting it when it needs nutrients and energy. Instead try regular small meals spaced out before you get hangry that have a focus of healthy proteins, fats and a variety of veggies.

This will help nourish you and keep your blood sugar stable which is so important for getting and staying pregnant!

Let’s face it most of us have experienced a midd

Let’s face it most of us have experienced a midday crash at some point in our lives. I can tell you postpartum I have had many weeks of pure fatigue all day let alone a midday crash in energy.

Adaptogen herbs are so powerful at supporting our adrenals so we can have better energy, support blood sugar levels, immune function, and even hormones.

I love our Adrenal Nourish because it specifically supports the adrenals while nurturing female hormones to help balance our cycles and support energy. It can be used pre and postpartum and in low doses during pregnancy. I relied on this blend throughout my fertility journey and it’s been so helpful.

Life as Mom <3⁣ I've always known I wanted to be

Life as Mom <3⁣
I've always known I wanted to be a mom. That it would be the best job I ever had (and the hardest). But I would have never predicted that I'd have to do IVF to get there...

My husband and I were about to start trying when we learned he had Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) an autosomal dominant genetic disease that he inherited from his mom. This meant that our kids had a 50/50 chance of also inheriting the gene and disease.

Unfortunately my mother-in-law has been on dialysis for 5 years and is waiting to get a kidney transplant. She suffers in ways no one would imagine, but somehow always has a smile on her face. My husbands kidney function is ok but he does have cysts and one day may need dialysis and or a transplant.

And so the momma bear in me decided I wanted to protect my future children so they didn't have to deal with such a terrible disease. This is where the amazing advancements of science steps in. We were able to do IVF with pre-implementation genetic testing to ensure the embryos (made from my egg and my husbands sperm) did not carry the gene.

It was quite the process as many of you who have gone through IVF know, but I'd do it again a million times over now that my beautiful son is here! Before going through IVF I worked on my and my husbands preconception health which included the right diet, a cleanse, supplements to support egg and sperm health, as well as working on my own mental emotional and spiritual health as well.

Preconception health is my passion and I want to help others feel empowered and confident as they transition into parenthood or continue to grow their family. Wether you are planning on getting pregnant naturally or need the support of science to do so, reach out to learn more about how we can help you during this process.

Cervical mucus is an important bodily fluid to pay

Cervical mucus is an important bodily fluid to pay attention to. The changes that take place with our cervical mucus are insights into our hormone health including ovulation and fertility.⁣
As we cycle, cervical mucus changes in texture and quantity. Leading up to ovulation women may notice the biggest changes from egg white consistency to watery clear discharge.

These changes are so important because they are signals that we are approaching ovulation or have ovulated. As we know, in order to get pregnant you must ovulate and release an egg that can then have the potential to become fertilized.

Cervical mucus also plays a role in helping sperm reach the egg in time after you have ovulated so it can be fertilized and have time to implant in the uterus before a period is induced.

Here are some ways you can support your cervical mucus.

What is Conscious Preconception? Conscious preco

What is Conscious Preconception?

Conscious preconception is a time before pregnancy to focus on optimizing the health of the couple to ensure the healthiest pregnancy and baby! This refers to physical health such as addressing any underlying current issues but also on mental, emotional and even spiritual health!

In order to have a healthy baby you need to start with healthy building blocks- an egg and sperm. What does this mean? That health starts preconception!!

Listen here, (and link in bio) to learn more about what goes into conscious preconception and how you and your partner can start taking the steps towards creating a healthy baby! https://www.canva.com/design/DAEaQoEB7FY/4t7h9v12MDqUGv9gnUD7jA/watch?utm_content=DAEaQoEB7FY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink

Hi! I’m Dr.Sierra. I approach naturopathic medicine with the understanding that the body is intelligent and therefore symptoms are messengers guiding us to the root cause of disease. I guide you to support this natural intelligence so that wellness is long lasting and requires less interventions. When I investigate your health history, it is with its prenatal and intergenerational origins in mind. Before becoming a physician, my field of study focused on healing generational trauma with the goal of nervous system integrity. Nervous system integrity creates resilience which is required to maintain health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I earned a degree in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University in 2019. My undergraduate study was in psychology from the University of Hawaii. Psychology and the role of the mind and emotional health are foundational in how I view human function and guide my patients. I have studied and am certified in oriental energy medicine, yoga, and massage therapy. These eastern healing systems add physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions to my approach to care
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My clinical interests include but are not limited to: perinatal care, pediatric and infant care, hormone balancing for men and women, menopause, sexual function, digestive health, longevity, mental and emotional regulation, nervous system balance, immune system integrity and balance, chronic inflammatory diseases, chronic pain, cancer care and idiopathic disease.

RELAXING APPLE PIE SMOOTHIE! This smoothie is sure

RELAXING APPLE PIE SMOOTHIE! This smoothie is sure to chill you out before your period & make you feel all cozy inside 😊
Recipe:
✨1-2 cups almond milk
✨ 1 inch ginger
✨ ½ cup banana
✨ ¾ cup steamed cauliflower
✨ ½ cup green apple, chopped
✨ 1 tsp. cinnamon
✨ 1 tbsp. raw honey
✨ 1 cup cilantro

Using food to support your hormone balance will help you smooth out your symptoms as you flow through the month. I hope you liked these delicious smoothie recipes perfectly tailored to your cycle!

xoxo, Laura

Join us the last Wednesday of every month for a Wo

Join us the last Wednesday of every month for a Women’s tea and Spiritual Healing Circle. This month we will be focusing on activating our solar plexus to tap into our personal power, enhance our intuition and support digestion both physically and energetically (your appetite for life!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In energetic medicine, your gut is part of your Solar Plexus. Physically it is located in the center of your trunk around your belly button, but your solar plexus energetically is one of the main chakras or energy centers and is a source of personal power.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It relates to self-esteem, identifying as your true authentic self, trusting your intuition, and the power of transformation. A lot of deep-rooted emotions, trauma, and memories can be stored in this chakra. When energy is stagnant or perhaps in excess it creates imbalances and leads to symptoms like feeling lost, low self-esteem, difficulty making decisions, self-criticism, control issues, and even physical symptoms like fatigue and digestive issues.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Without focusing on your energetic and emotional health it is almost impossible to truly heal your gut or any aspect of your health for that matter. Come learn more at our women’s tea circle! Link in bio for tickets.

When: March 29
Time: 6:30 pm
Where: @yardandsea

All Women Welcome!

While practicing diaphragmatic breathing, you are

While practicing diaphragmatic breathing, you are activating the parasympathetic system, which can be thought of as the relaxation response of the body or the “rest and digest” state. Our digestive system works best in this state!
1.Sit or lie in a comfortable place. Close your eyes.
2. Place one hand on your chest and one hand on your abdomen. The bottom hand should do the moving. The top hand should remain still or only move as the bottom hand moves.
3. Inhale through your nose for about 4 seconds, feeling your abdomen expand. Hold your breath for 2 seconds.
4. Exhale very slowly and steadily through your mouth for about 6 seconds. The mouth should be relaxed.
5. Repeat for a few minutes!
