Parents are told to start paying attention once symptoms are obvious. 😩

No one teaches us the part that actually matters

THE BEGINNING…

This is where a child’s body quietly shows you exactly what support it needs
long before things escalate
but most parents don’t know how to read these shifts because they’ve never been shown.

▲
The first little cough
the subtle sniffle
the restless night that always seems to come out of nowhere, isn’t random.

It’s physiology changing in real time.

Here’s what’s happening…
Circulation slows.
Lymph moves less efficiently.
The nervous system begins to carry more than it can clear.
If nothing interrupts this pattern
you get the familiar 10 day winter sickness we assume is “just how it goes.” And your little one struggles…

▲
But it doesn’t have to go that way.

When you understand what those early cues mean and you know how to support the body right at that moment
the entire direction of an illness can shift.

I’ve watched week-long respiratory struggles soften into a simple twenty-four hour recovery
because the right therapy was used with the right timing.
This isn’t magic
and it isn’t complicated
it’s physiology and experience.

▲
I’ve practiced this work for twenty six years
as a mother
clinical herbalist
and family nutritionist.
I’ve seen these therapies change homes again and again
not by suppressing the body
but by helping it do what it’s already trying to do.

At 42, I got pregnant with my third baby…

On purpose, on the first try, 15 years after my last.⁣
⁣
However I spent two years studying and changing every aspect of my life and health!

I had had enough of being exhausted.
Enough of feeling disconnected from my body.
Enough of the noise telling me what was “normal” for my age.⁣
⁣
So I unraveled everything I thought I knew about health…
I rebuilt. With joy. With reverence. With radical trust.⁣ I rebuilt my body, my relationship, my life…
⁣
And life entered me.⁣
⁣
We are told that over 40 is a downhill slide.⁣
That our eggs are expired.
That we’re somehow broken.⁣
⁣
That is a LIE.
⁣
Your fertility is not broken.⁣
Our culture is.⁣
⁣
I believe in the radical possibility of a woman who reclaims her joy, her nourishment, her energy, her relationship to nature and spirit.⁣
⁣
I see it every day.
And I live it and I can help you do the same.
⁣
Whether you’re calling in a baby…

Or just craving to feel like yourself again,
It is not too late.⁣
You are not too old.⁣
And you are *not broken.*⁣
⁣
If this stirred something in you, this is your invitation to challenge society’s beliefs and CHANGE your health.

Send me a DM or comment word “vital” and I will personally help you reclaim your health and wellbeing.

That doesn’t mean he never had an “accident.”

But just because a child pees or even poops their pants sometimes doesn’t mean they need to stay in diapers. And it definitely doesn’t mean they can’t potty train.

My child is 2½ now and has spent more of his life 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.

Potty learning doesn’t have to start when they’re two or three. It doesn’t have to begin with waiting for them to tell you they’re “ready.” And an accident doesn’t mean you put the diaper back on.

I’ve helped thousands of families learn this approach, and I potty trained all four of my babies by their first birthday.

There is a completely different way to teach this, and 𝑰’𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝑰 𝒅𝒐 𝒊𝒕.

You can ask AI what an herb is for in five seconds…

But that is not the same as knowing how to use it when your baby is sick.

An herb is not just “good for a cough.” A fever is not just a number. You have to know what you’re seeing, what fits, how to prepare something and when something else makes more sense.

That is why I created 𝑀𝑎𝑚𝑎’𝑠 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡.

It brings together the videos, protocols, recipes and guides I’ve created from years of studying herbal medicine and working with families.

So when your child gets sick, you already have somewhere to go.

𝑀𝑎𝑚𝑎’𝑠 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 opens October 10 for 48 hours.

Most of us were taught to think about sickness in terms of what we can give our child…

But with babies and young toddlers, a lot of those options aren’t appropriate, and that does not mean there’s nothing you can do.

One of the biggest things that changed the way I mothered was learning how much I could actually do with my own hands.

I learned how to use hydrotherapy, warm compresses, wet socks, herbal baths, mustard foot soaks and poultices to support my children at home when they were sick.

Once you learn these therapies, you stop feeling like your only option is to give them something and hope for the best.

That is why I created 𝑀𝑎𝑚𝑎’𝑠 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡.

It’s a course for moms that teaches you what to actually do at home when your baby or child gets sick.

Inside, I walk you through the hands-on therapies, home protocols, remedies, recipes and age-specific support I’ve used with my own children so you’re not trying to figure it all out in the moment.

You keep it for life, so when the cough starts, the fever hits or you can tell they’re coming down with something, you already know where to look and what to do.

He was also a preemie, which already put him at a higher risk for low iron, and when I found out he was anemic it completely changed the way I looked at feeding babies.

Because a full belly is not the same thing as a nourished baby.

I could give him oatmeal, fruit, pouches and easy baby foods all day long, but that didn’t mean I was giving his rapidly growing body enough iron, fat, protein and minerals.

That’s why I created my 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠.

It’s one of my favorite baby recipes because liver is incredibly nutrient dense, and I built the recipe to support iron absorption while also making it something babies actually love to eat.

And I’m giving you the recipe 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞.

But this is also what I want moms to understand about 𝑀𝑎𝑚𝑎’𝑠 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡.

I’ve been a mom for 27 years, and some of my greatest memories are of my children in their pajamas.

Snuggling them in the mornings, breakfast around the table, evenings by the fire. There’s just something about a little one in their PJs that 𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 in for me.

Maybe that’s why I’ve always cared about choosing 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐬.

One of the benefits of early potty learning that almost nobody talks about is movement…

My youngest stopped wearing diapers at home when he was seven months old.

Once babies are mobile, they’re crawling, standing, squatting, climbing, reaching, balancing and learning where their body is in space all day long.

And a bulky diaper, yes, even a cloth diaper, changes that experience.

Underwear gives them more freedom to move, but it also gives them feedback.

They feel when they pee. They start noticing what their body is doing. You start narrating it. They begin making those connections much earlier.

That’s why, for me, potty learning was never just about getting out of diapers.

It was part of body awareness, communication, coordination and independence.

I’ve potty trained all four of my babies by their first birthday, and this is the method I teach now.

𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒌, this is when I would do the therapies BEFORE bed….

Don’t just put them down early and hope they sleep it off.

If they wake up at midnight coughing, congested, and miserable, that is not when you want to be trying to do hydrotherapy, wet socks, and a foot soak.

If I hear that first cough, notice congestion, or can just tell something is brewing, I’m starting then.

Hydrotherapy, wet socks, and a warm foot soak can help support circulation and lymphatic movement and keep congestion moving instead of sitting there all night.

𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐚’𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 is my complete at-home childhood wellness course for babies and young children.

Inside, I teach you what to do for:

✦ first signs of sickness
✦ coughs + congestion
✦ fevers
✦ earaches
✦ sore throats
✦ stomach bugs
✦ hydrotherapy
✦ herbs + homeopathy
✦ nourishing food support
✦ step-by-step home protocols

Levi becoming anemic changed the way I thought about 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑑𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑠.

Recipes like my 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐟 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 became part of rebuilding him with deeply nourishing, ancestral foods.

And this is why 𝑀𝑎𝑚𝑎’𝑠 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 is so much more than sickness protocols.

Inside, you get my liver guide, nourishing food recipes, GAPS-inspired gut support, iron education, herbs, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, and step-by-step protocols for fevers, coughs, congestion, earaches, sore throats, stomach bugs and more, with ages and dosing ranges included.

It’s the full foundation for knowing how to 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐫, nourish them well, support them through sickness, and care for them at home with confidence.

𝗔 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗮𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵.

Because we’re working only with the feet, we can make the herbs much more concentrated and use the soak therapeutically.

This one is a traditional 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗮𝗸 with a few other herbs.

Mustard is hot, stimulating and dispersing. It brings circulation strongly into the feet, helps draw heat and congestion down out of the upper body, opens the peripheral circulation and supports clearing when the system feels hot, stuck or congested.

That is exactly why I love this at the first sign something is coming on.

After the soak, dry the feet really well and put on 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀.

Inside Mama’s Medicine Chest™ I teach you how to use these old in-home therapies with babies and toddlers, including what herbs to use, how strong to make them, temperature, timing and how I change the treatment by age.
