POSTS STORIES REELS

At Wild Ones Holistic Wellness, I help parents understand what their kids’ behavior is really communicating — and how to support them from the inside out. 🌿
From emotional wellness to nutrition and connection, each service is designed to help your family grow together with more calm, clarity, and confidence. 💛

This might surprise you, but most toddler “lies” aren’t lies at all… they’re nervous system protection.

At ages 3–5, kids often lie because:
🌱 they don’t want to disappoint you
🌱 they’re scared of getting in trouble
🌱 their imagination is HUGE
🌱 they’re testing boundaries to feel safe
🌱 they’re still learning what “truth” even means

This is development — not defiance.

So instead of punishment or shame, we focus on connection, because connection is what grows honesty in the long run.

Try saying:
✨ “You’re not in trouble. You can tell me the truth.”
✨ “Take a breath — what really happened?”
✨ “Sometimes we say no when we’re worried. You’re safe with me.”

And when they do tell the truth?
Praise it big.
✨ “Thank you for telling me — I’m proud of you.”

Your grounded, regulated presence teaches:
“You don’t lose connection when you make a mistake.”
And that builds honesty that lasts a lifetime.

✨ Big feelings aren’t misbehavior. They’re communication.
When your toddler melts down, it’s not about “bad behavior” — it’s their nervous system saying, “I’m overwhelmed, I need help.” 💛
Instead of rushing to stop the feelings, try to pause and listen. What are they trying to show you? Hunger, tiredness, overstimulation, a need for connection?
When we see emotions as communication, everything shifts:
🌱 Less shame → more understanding
🌱 Less punishment → more connection
🌱 Less chaos → more calm
Your child doesn’t need to “be fixed.” They need to be heard. 🤍

✨📸 Back behind the camera again & my heart is so full.
This was my first shoot since moving to Springfield, and I couldn’t have asked for a better family or a more beautiful setting. Out here on the farm, every photo tells the story of their real, everyday life—the love, the rhythm, the simple magic. That’s why I’m obsessed with documentary photography: it’s not just pictures, it’s a legacy. 🖤

✨ Kids burn through energy fast — which is why the right snack can make all the difference between calm playtime… and a meltdown. 💛
Here are 7 nourishing snack ideas that check all the boxes:
✅ Protein → keeps tummies satisfied
✅ Healthy fats → support brain + emotional regulation
✅ Fiber → steady energy, no sugar crash
Simple, quick, and totally kid-approved. 🍎🥑🧀

✨Save this for the next time your little one is “hungry again” 10 minutes after a meal!

🌸 Motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

When you sit with a group of women, something magical happens ✨ Each of us brings our own strengths, stories, and “rabbit holes” we’ve learned from—and when we share, we grow together.

❤️‍🔥 For my marriage: I would’ve never learned the enneagram if another mama hadn’t taught me. Now I understand my husband better & have tools to approach him differently. Plus, having a safe space to vent (without judgment) means I can process things without worrying what people think.

👶🏼 For my child: He gets to make friends, practice social skills, and learn through play. And I show up as a calmer, more present mom because I’ve had time for adult conversations & connection.

🧠 For my mental health: I no longer feel like I’m carrying it all by myself. Having community, trust, and women who truly get it is a type of support you can’t find anywhere else.

If you haven’t found “your” mom group yet—start one. Post in a Facebook group, hop on Peanut, or invite a few moms for coffee. The growth, support & friendships that come from it are truly transformative. 💛

✨ If you haven’t noticed yet — we’re rebranding! ✨

Outspoken Connections is officially 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐎𝐧𝐞’𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 🌿

So… what does this mean for you?
📸 Do we still do photography? YES.
💛 Do we still support families with the Emotion Code? YES.
But instead of helping people find love, I now help families with their wild ones.

Truthfully, this wasn’t an easy transition. I poured years into building my old dream, but it wasn’t aligned anymore. I wasn’t attracting the clients I felt called to serve, and life kept nudging me toward a new path. After surrendering (with some tears and lots of reflection), I realized this is exactly where I’m meant to be. And I’m so grateful — over the past year in a half, I’ve already had the privilege of supporting so many families in this work. 💫

🦋 𝘔𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥, 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵:
• Combo photo sessions + Emotion Code
• Parenting classes based on How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk (coming soon to Marshfield… and possibly virtual for my Utah & long-distance clients!)
• 1:1 holistic coaching including somatic healing, nutrition & herbs, Emotion Code, nervous system regulation, + more. These will be tailored to your child’s specific needs.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔…
👧🏼🧑🏻 Hair analysis testing!
My goal for this company is to give parents the tools to support the mind, body & spirit of their 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘦’𝘴 before turning to western medical practices.

Thank you all for your love & support as I step into this next chapter. 💛 I’m so excited to walk alongside you and your families in this season.

If a virtual parenting class would serve you, drop a 🌱 below or send me a DM — I’d love to hear from you!

✨ Back-to-school nerves? Tantrums before bed? Overstimulation at the grocery store?

Sometimes our kids need help feeling safe in their own body. 🌿
This gentle Grounding Oil Blend is one of my favorite tools to support little nervous systems.

💛 Cedarwood + Vetiver for deep calm
💛 Lavender for comfort
💛 Optional Frankincense for emotional release

I roll it on the bottoms of my child’s feet before school, bedtime, or anytime life feels “too much.” Pair it with a hug, a deep breath, or some silly stomping to help their body come back into balance.

Your child isn’t being dramatic — they’re learning how to regulate. Sometimes a little support goes a long way. 🌱
