The TTC gift guide edit - a few of my favorite things
Published about 1 year agoΒ β’Β 3 min read
Hi Reader,
It's that time of the year where you will hear over and over again - what can I get you? What do you want? I know that probably in your head you're saying "I would like a baby, please."
But alas we can't ask Aunt Susie for a baby - so here are a few of my favorite things that you can put on your gift list.
β¨ The gift of non-toxic skin care β¨
My favorite small batch, organic, herbal elixirs come from a place that I TRUST - which is so hard to find these days. I trust Infuse Organics products because I see them being made and know that Sarah - the alchemist behind these products - is so on our side when it comes to cleaner skin and body care products and is beyond passionate about making products that are non-toxic and nature made. She only uses essential oils for her scents - and they are heavenly! She also has some great non toxic candles so you don't breathe in all those holiday scented fragrances π Order before Dec 15th to get your presents by the 24th.
Did you know that people can purchase you a gift in the Fertile Body Yoga shop? If you've been eying up the Chakra Fertility Program or the FET prep Program - now is your chance. And your gift giver can check out as a guest, choose the date to deliver the email, and write a little message!
β¨ The Gift of Books β¨
Here are a few of my favorite books. Heads up! The links provided are affiliate links - what does that mean? Basically, I receive a very very very small percentage of the purchase you make if you click through my links. That's it - it doesn't cost you a dime, and it supports small businesses (like me!)
I truly believe that if we want to be our healthiest and most fertile selves - then cooking at home as much as you can from scratch is the way to do it. Here are some kitchen recommendations to keep the toxic load down.
βInstant Pot Duo 3 Quart! Literally the best kitchen appliance around to make your life easier.
Pots & Pans! Out with the 'non stick' in with the cast iron & stainless steel.
And as far as food goes - eat real food, preferably organic and cooked.
β¨ The gift of body + spirit work β¨
If you're into experiences and non-consumables as gifts, then ask for a massage, acupuncture, reiki, cranial sacral session, somatic experiencing session, or spirit baby reading!
I can't begin to list practitioners in every city - but I can recommend a few of the people I know and trust. All of these wonderful humans have been on the Fringe Fertility Podcast as well!
Don't forget to Grab your spot for Holiday Calm: Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra to Ease Holiday Stress. Next Wednesday!
This is open to EVERYONE: Partners, family, friends, fertility practitioners, or if you're pregnant or post partum. Not a peep about fertility, I promise ;) One ticket gets the whole house in and a recording so you can revisit when you need it.
PS: Thank you for your support of small businesses this holiday season. Whether it is buying direct or using affiliate links, know that when you purchase from small businesses you are allowing us to support our families. You make a huge difference in our lives and we are grateful to you. Thank you!

Hi Reader, As we move into September, many people find themselves recommitting to their fertility. Whether thatβs fertility treatments, lifestyle changes, or simply showing up differently for their bodies. These are the yoga poses I'm finding extra nourishing right now after a busy summer. I feel like I'm returning home to my body. I encourage you to slow down a bit, breathe, and create space in your life and your body. For your fertility but also for this transition to a new season. Why is...
Hi Reader, Summer's here and it's got me thinking about magic. The everyday magic that is happening around you all the time. The type that we can see and connect to when we start to pay a little more attention to our surroundings. Like the rose unfurling every morning, to the sparkle of the sun on the water - these are signs if you give them the opportunity to share their messages. I believe that this is one way we can connect to the joy around us. Especially during the fertility journey when...
Hi Reader, This one is a bit on the longer side - but definitely worth your time and attention! Lately, I've been talking a lot about Ayurveda and how amazingly supportive it can be for fertility! On podcasts (links below), in 1:1 sessions, with groups, and prepping for the On Fertile Ground Retreat (April 24 - 27 in Hillsborough NH). Ayurveda can drastically change the trajectory of your fertility path. Ayurveda is the longest continually practiced health system in the world - it has been...
