There is so much wisdom in ancestral ways of healing trauma, hormone imbalance, cysts and more with the art of vaginal steaming. We talk with Ayurvedic Practitioner and Womb Steaming Consultant, Sabrina of Ummul Herbals, on her family's rich history with herbalism, her own personal relationship with plants, how she was able to heal from a difficult postpartum and excruciating menstrual cycles, why she's drawn to serving postpartum women and how she is expanding her business even further with trauma healing. Sabrina mentions a few resources that helped guide her down her path: the book, Moon Time by Lucy H. Pearce and her dedicated teachers Kami McBride and Keli Garza. You can take Kami McBride's Healing Herbal Oils course through Sabrina's affiliate link here. This is a phenomenal course that I cannot recommend enough!! I have personally taken it and have learned so much. If you are an herbal oil creator, I truly think this will take your practice + relationship with herbalism much deeper. You can also use this link to become a vaginal womb steaming practitioner through Keli Garza's class. This was life changing for Sabrina and she goes into depth in it in this episode.

Topics we discuss: Why the "cry-it-out" method is not what you think. What is *actually* considered normal and healthy baby sleep. Answering every cry & it's importance.

We are here to guide children, not to punish them. The difference between punishment & discipline. How to handle difficult transitions + routines. We are not executing optimal parenting, we are making it too hard on ourselves.

Join me as I venture back to my childhood days of speaking to trees and listen to how the plants never left my side even through poverty, postpartum depression, cancer and birth. My business has manifested into what it is after much trial and error. My biggest mistake was believing the herbs were here for me and creating products out of herbs that I did not have authentic relationship with. My biggest take-away from all said experiences was that herbs are living things that reciprocate relationship. I talk about this more in this episode.
