Your kids will also love it!

Hear us out. It’s homemade Jello! When made with grass fed gelatin, a quality juice, and honey to taste, you get a snack or dessert that checks all the boxes.

This recipe provides collagen protein, vitamin C (which supports collagen and iron absorption), immunity boosters, and a hydrating juice blend that may also help with nausea during pregnancy.

Ingredients:

32 oz bottle / 4 cups juice of choice (we used Smart Juice Antioxidant Force Blend)
4 tablespoons gelatin powder
Honey to taste (about 2 tablespoons)
Pinch of salt
Acerola cherry powder (optional, we used Perfect Supplements Superfoods)

Pour half of juice in a 9x9 pan or other molding dish for your jello, and the remainder into a saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over the juice in your dish, stir and let sit to bloom the gelatin.

While gelatin is blooming, bring your juice, honey and salt to a light simmer while stirring. Once heated, pour the mixture over the gelatin and whisk until well blended. Once whisked, sprinkle acerola cherry powder over the top for additional Vitamin C. You can also add things like frozen blueberries.

Put in the fridge for a couple of ours to set. Scoop and enjoy!

Fertility acupuncture and massage therapy are two time-honored practices that can help restore reproductive energy.

Whether you’re a woman struggling to conceive for the first time, or a mom trying to restore her body and hormones after having children, our practitioners Ashlee with Moon River Acupuncture and massage therapist Sophia Dallair have a toolkit of traditional medicine practices to support women at any stage of the pregnancy & postpartum journey.

Acupuncture with Ashlee can be a gentle yet powerful way to support fertility, conception, and a healthy pregnancy. By nourishing your body, balancing hormones, and improving circulation to the reproductive organs, treatments create an environment that encourages conception—whether naturally or alongside assisted reproductive treatments like IVF or IUI. Ashlee can also provide holistic health counseling tailored to your goals.

Massage therapy with Sophia weaves touch therapy, trauma imprint repair, and somatic tools to bring trust and ease to the nervous system - an essential part of balancing the body to prepare for new life.

Make this meal for yourself!🤰👇 (Ep. 1)

🥚 Eggs, aka nutrient BOMBS. Don't underestimate. Sources of protein, choline for fetal brain development (and mom's brain, because, duh), essential iron, B vitamins
🐟 Fish is your friend. Omega-3 and essential fats for fetal development.
🥬 Greens for folate, vitamin K, minerals, magnesium
🎃 Seeds and crispy chickpeas add fiber, magnesium, zinc, fats
🧀 Calcium sources like cheese benefit fetal bone development and prevention of pre-eclampsia

When you're nourishing a growing baby, think abundance (of the good stuff!) and variety. This can look like a lot of different things since pregnancies vary, but this is a snapshot of one meal that could be great for a mom at any stage of life needing nourishment and energy.

We hope to share some more meal ideas soon😜

If someone had to guess what we do based on our recent camera roll....

They'd say food bloggers, probably.

Sometimes, we take pictures of things that aren't food-related...like someone sleeping. LOL!

Enjoy our photo dump, friends🌟

It takes a village, and sometimes, an entire birth team!💛

A few days ago, this sweet family welcomed their newest little one, and we had a full house of support! We were especially excited to have our newest students, Joyell and Desi, join the team and witness this mom's wonderful strength.

Every birth is a learning opportunity, a privilege, and a reminder of why we love this work. Congratulations to this wonderful family, and welcome to the world, little one! ✨
