Don’t you love a product that can be used for more than one thing?

Especially during pregnancy and postpartum, when it feels like there’s a million things you need to buy.

I made Sacred skin to be useful from growing your baby to holding them in your arms. 🤎

Pregnancy
✨ Massage it into your growing belly to nourish your skin as it stretches

Labor
✨ Keep it nearby for back massages during labor

Postpartum
✨ A little oil on baby’s bottom can help make those first few days of sticky meconium diapers easier to clean off

Curated by a homebirth midwife with organic oils and herbs, Sacred Skin is free of essential oils and synthetic fragrance, with sensitive skin in mind.

Are you pregnant? Know someone pregnant? Need a baby shower gift? A gift to send a pregnant friend out of state?

This bunch of goodies is so near and dear to my heart. When I was a homebirth midwife my mamas each got one of these kits as a gift from me🥹

Each of these items are handcrafted by a midwife, essential oil free, and non-toxic❤️

Tea, congee, pain relief for cramps, herbal bath for mama and baby, and perineum healing spray!

We ship anywhere in the US

Happy postpartum mamas!

Daybreak will be closed to honor the one year passing of our beloved founder Brock Bertloff. He truly loved making herbal remedies and goodies to support all the rites of passages and seasons of life. Although, it isn’t always easy, Im proud I’ve kept Daybreak running!

This Wednesday will be the last day I’m shipping. I will be going to a cabin for contemplation and nature and to honor surviving the first year without my beloved.
You can still place orders. But I won’t be doing any shipping from the 17th-24th.

Thank you all for supporting our little apothecary baby😊🥹

Hugs,
Christina

The PNW truly delights and amazes me. My favorite activity is to take pictures of the strangest things I stumble across in the forest, and go home and learn about them. Today’s findings…Dog vomit slime mold (Fuligo Septica). It is not a fungui. More of a giant amoeba. It moves by pulsating forward and its whole life cycle is 24-48🤯 I’ll never tire of it here.

Back to school means they don’t always just come home with their backpack…🫠

They also a come home with their new friend’s cooties.
Then they don’t feel good, and then you don’t feel good and so it goes…
The back to school domino effect is real!
We can support their immune systems with good sleep, nourishing foods, fresh air, handwashing.
Sometimes we need something more. Echinacea is potent! Take at first signs of a scratchy throat. This one is a lifesaver. Good to keep on hand because you want to take as early as possible for best results.
Before we added this to our website we have shared it with friends and family for a few years! It is by far the most repeatedly requested tincture we make.

Good luck as you navigate the joys…and germs of back to school🙌🏻

Nourish and pause in postpartum✨☕️

As a midwife, tea was the answer to most questions.

Crying mamas in the office during pregnancy…tea

Depleted pregnant mamas…tea

Low blood sugar after birth…tea

Bleeding after birth…tea

Support the uterus…tea

Low energy…tea

digestion issues…tea

milk supply…tea

Tea nourishes the body, resets the nervous system, and is the best gift to give a postpartum mama🤍✨

Welcome, to everyone who has found their way here recently. 🤍
I’m so grateful you’re here.

It’s always been our vision that this little apothecary is more than tinctures and teas.

It’s a place for honoring the rites of passages we experience. Birth, postpartum, death, and grief.
I also like to inject some whimsy and nature too✨

Today I’m sharing a small excerpt from a piece I wrote about the afternoon my love’s body was carried from our home, and what anxiety felt like in the days that followed.

“How did my body contain this magnitude of pain and still remember to breathe? I wondered how his heart went still but mine defied logic by continuing to devote itself to a rhythm…”

If you’d like to read the full piece, see the education section on our site. If you want to subscribe while you’re there, you’ll receive my first newsletter that’s going out next week🤞🏻I’m hoping the newsletters will feel like gathering in circle together, even from across the miles🤍

Thank you for being with me. I truly hope you find something that nourishes you, whatever season you’re in✨

What is ritual?
For me, ritual used to feel mystical and abstract. It conjured up hippies frolicking in the forest under a full moon with a bonfire and sage burning. I mean, that actually does sound fun, but not very practical on a Monday afternoon.

Ritual is not magic. It’s predictable, repeatable actions that trigger the nervous system to change from an anxious state to a grounded one.

Research has found that ritual reduces anxiety! During ritual your brain redirects anxious thoughts and activates the parasympathetic nervous system.

It doesn’t have to be elaborate or take a long time. Try to make a cup of tea like a tiger isn’t chasing you. Slow. Take a few deep breaths and lift a candle as the water heats up. Smell the fragrances of the hot tea for 20 seconds before drinking it. Let your body know it’s safe to slow down.

I use ritual for grief anxiety. I light a candle on Brock’s alter each morning. I sing him a song while I do it. The same three verses repeated everytime. I light a stick of incense and smudge his pictures while I sing. It takes less than a minute and truly has helped me start the day a bit more in my body.

“Listen, listen, listen to my heart song
I will never forget you
I will never forsake you”

As a small batch apothecary we have lots of teas, aromatherapy, oils and tinctures you could use to create ritual in your day. If you need help figuring one out. Lemme know, I’ll try to help❤️
