Cacao as Plant Medicine
Ceremonial Cacao
As a Cacao Practitioner, I use the purest grade of Guatemalan cacao to bring all its benefits to labour and birth. To buy Ceremonial Cacao from me CLICK HERE.
A warm and heart opening drink, considered the most nutritional concentrated superfoods, cacao will tap onto your intuition bringing you back to your centre by activating oxytocin and triggering endorphins for a smoother and vibrant labour experience.
5 BENEFITS OF RAW ORGANIC CACAO

A good cup of cacao will not only fill your body with bliss, increase intuition and pleasure, it will also be a sustainable source of energy during labour and not raise your levels of adrenalin.

- Reduce perinatal depression and anxietY
I combine aromatherapy with massage and fine-tune my care to support the complex needs of women in childbirth.
I am certified by Aromatherapy for Childbirth to effectively apply aromatherapy for women in labour to ease symptoms of anxiety, pain, nausea, fear, etc for a more positive birth. A qualification accredited by the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and the International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA).
I only work with evidence-based and conscious information to improve your labour and birth experience. My work ethic is to practice aromatherapy at home and other maternity care settings in accordance with industry guidelines.
SAFETY: As you will develop a thicker layer of adipose tissue underneath your skin during pregnancy, which acts as a safety area between the baby and the essential oil: giving a slow-release treatment rather than an immediate one, as they release more slowly into the tissues.
