Have you ever considered acupuncture?
Whether you are trying to conceive, are pregnant or are postpartum, acupuncture can really be a powerful tool. After years of irregular periods, hormonal swings and severe PMS, starting at a very young age, Michelle Oravitz gave acupuncture a try and she instantly felt a shift in her body.
Acupuncture changed her life and as a result, she was inspired to help other women through their health and fertility struggles. She has created The Wholesome Lotus: a wellness center in Miami Beach as well as an online course and a podcast, The Wholesome Fertility podcast! Her journey into motherhood would have looked very different had she not used acupuncture and wants to show others its strength.
Learn the strength and power of acupuncture in this episode of the Mamas in Training Podcast.

What does a Doula do? What is the importance of a doula? Why can’t our partners support us like a doula?
Aside from encouraging you, reminding you of your strength, preparing cool cloths, maybe with essential oils or playing your favorite music, a doula can physically help move and adjust your body to manage the pain of labor and can even supporT you to have a vaginal birth, if you so desire.
While our partners can be there for our birth and support us for sure, they TOO have a lot of emotions, fears and distractions going on. It can be hard for them to be 100% fully focused on your needs. However a doula or “mother servant”’ is there for you and you alone.
Learn the impact a doula can have on your birth experience in this episode of the Mamas in Training Podcast!

How far have you gone to have control or FEEL like you have control over your life?Aside from the to-do lists and schedules, have you ever pushed your body past its limits?
As we begin our journey into motherhood, even before conception, there is SO little control we have and this can feel frightening, uneasy and can even lead us to harming ourselves or those who love us.
For Josephine Atluri, her long journey into motherhood wreaked havoc on her ability to control. A mama of 7 children… yes, you read that correctly, 7, Josephine’s path was rocky and she had no control. She went through so much stress to build her family, that it led to an eating disorder. How did she make it through and how in the world does she get through each day with 7 children?! It was at her lowest point that she discovered the need for something more and she turned to mediation.
Listen in to learn how the power of meditation has impacted her life and how it can change yours too on this episode of the Mamas in Training Podcast.

What if you could heal eczema & cradle cap with only 3 natural ingredients?
Sensitive and irritated skin is very common for our little ones since their skin is still thin and developing. Typically when it happens, we're told to use products with a thousand ingredients that half the time we can't pronounce or worse, a steroid cream that thins the skin even more. After Shubhangini Prakash struggled to heal her son’s eczema, she decided to solve the problem on her own. She created a product that had three simple, natural ingredients that actually come from the earth and cleared up the eczema in just one day! She is on a mission to share with mamas the importance of knowing the ingredients on the products we use for babies’ skin.
Listen in to learn the importance of knowing ingredients and how she can help you solve this problem for your future baby on this episode of the Mamas in Training Podcast.
