After Birth & Breastfeeding
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms after you gave birth?
The mushrooms found me on my path towards healing from postnatal depletion, overwhelm, anxiety and depressive episodes. Becoming a mother was super intense for me, and my nervous system and body was wrecked after years of survival mode. The mushrooms, the art of ceremony and other plant medicines have helped me to recalibrate my nervous system, to feel safe and supported in this life and live more fully! Sharing my gifts with the world!
