Tips to soothe nausea during pregnancy: Oshawa GTA Low Tox Motherhood Studio
Let’s talk about Nausea. It affects so many of us at some point or other during pregnancy. IF you are one of the lucky few to not experience it during your pregnancy I bow down to you ;) I can totally remember suffering with it up until 14 -18 weeks.
Here few ways to use essential oils for support with nausea during pregnancy:
-Diffusing or applying topically are the most common ways to find relief. Oils such as peppermint, ginger are great for relief. Digize applied topically gives relief within a matter of minutes (they all do really).
-if using Digize rub on tummy/upper chest area in clockwise direction.
-make peppermint tea. Not a fan of hot drinks right now? That’s ok…try peppermint iced tea
If you suffer from stress related nausea:
There are a few stress supporting oils to consider: lavender, chamomile, black spruce and even orange will help you too.
Of course there are a ton of ways to help support you and your body. Play around with things and see what works for you.
Other natural ways to support and find relief from can look like applying a cold compress to neck and or forehead or even sucking on a ginger chew. Getting some fresh air and staying hydrated. Speaking from experience, try to refrain from lying down right after you eat also helps to avoid heartburn. Avoiding spicy or rich foods and pay attention to strong smells that act as triggers (things like gasoline, strong toxic cleaning products, paint, fish, meat or cheeses etc etc) For me it was chocolate milk and OJ…weird I know lol.
Peppermint and Digize have been my favourite go to’s. Now in full transparency here, I am not pregnant (door closed years ago) but I wish I had these amazing oils and aromatherapy tips back then.
Not everyone will love all of these oils or scents, and that is okay! You need to find what works for you.
If you are new to oils and feeling a little overwhelmed, know that it’s normal. I was there too. I read a TON!
We now have an amazing supportive and generous community to help that is there if you need it. And of course I am here for you when you are ready mama. If you prefer sitting to experience things in person, let’s set a date. Pop by the studio, grab a coffee or tea. Whatever you’d like :)
If you are planning ahead or just getting through the waves of it through the day, I highly recommend to give these a try. I promise your sanity and body will thank you. What do you have to lose?

James and his cake smash: Oshawa GTA Baby Studio Photographer
Meet James, isn’t he cute? I met his beautiful mama about 3 years ago and have been in love every time she books a milestone session for her gorgeous babies.
Cake smash sessions always start with a Classic Portrait session. I do this for a few reasons:
So your baby can get comfortable being in a new space, new face and know they are safe here
To capture their personality and details
Adds beautiful memories and variety for you and your family
Here’s how some of the session unfolded…
Thank you to our Business Partners Aspen Florist and Nest Specialty Desserts for helping to create the perfect session.
Our summer calendar is fulling up. We highly recommend booking your milestone session 2-3 months out to make sure that you secure the date you require. For more information or details, please reach out. I am excited to plan and book your little one’s Cake Smash with you!

White Winter Wonderland: Christmas Minis 2022: GTA Oshawa Christmas Mini Sessions
Christmas 2022 marked our 6th annual mini session event! And holy jingle balls was it gorgeous and fun!
It’s taken me a while to get caught up this year as typically start of the year is a little slow. I am totally okay with that as Fall/Winter is a whirlwind. It’s now Easter weekend lol and I am VERY grateful for how steady business has been but slightly guilty for blogging Christmas at Easter haaa. Oh well!
Soooo many gorgeous moments, memories and a fun was documented.
We always have the BEST time and so do our clients.
We have so much creating with Aspen Florist. It’s always amazing to watch her design and create and see things come to life. The best part, is seeing the kids and parents faces light up with excitement when they walk into the studio.
When you book your Christmas session with us you are in for a beautiful experience. You can plan on laughter, dancing, smiles and the magic and innocence of Christmas through your child’s eyes.
A HUGE thank you to all our beautiful families and little ones who joined us this past Christmas. We love that you spend your moments with us and create memories for your family to look back on year after year.
If you are new here, we hope you’ll join us for our Christmas 2023 Mini Sessions. Sign up to our newsletter for all the details and when we will be announcing our early bird release!

Ways I fight germs year round: Low Tox Motherhood Family Photographer
Fighting germs and sickness is inevitable these days. I hear from a lot of my clients that it’s a cycle they would like to end. I can’t blame you. It’s everywhere! One of the best ways I fight all of the germs and keep my home and quality of air healthy is with Thieves and Thieves Household Cleaner. It kills 99.96% of all germs and 100% of mold. Pretty impressive and 100% all natural and plant based. The powerful oils that make up this blend are Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata and Rosemary. Here is some more info on the history of Thieves that dates back to the 15th Century!
Thieves is a NHP ( National Health Product) which means that it is registered by Health Canada as a safe, effective and high quality remedy. Our family uses it for the onset of sickness, to ward off germs, to clean our homes with and to keep the air in our homes clean.
Thieves is Young Living’s best seller and original to this beautiful company. Many people admit that they have heard about the powers of this oil/product before they learn about Young Living. It’s such an impressive and effective oil that Young Living has dedicated an entire line to cleaning products with Thieves.
Ways I like to fight germs in my home and in the studio is super easy. I use Thieves in my diffuser throughout the house and I use Thieves Household Cleaner for everything. It’s not just for floors and surfaces. It’s perfect for kitchen, laundry (thieves laundry soap), bathrooms, windows, mirrors, in the car and so much more! It’s such a powerful and affective product that Young Living has a whole line of cleaning products. If you are looking for more than just the cleaner, consider the The Thieves Home Starter Bundle is AMAZING. It’s so concentrated that everything can be split multiple times so that you get more for your dollar.
Life is precious and our loved ones mean everything to us right? I use Thieves to keep our immune systems healthy and for all that it does to keep the home healthy. Low Tox and all natural products are not all the same. It’s important to do your research. If you wanted to chat more, of course I am here to help you too.
If you are on the fence and thinking this is just another product, and what’s the hype all about? I highly encourage you to give it a try. Trust one who has tried just about everything. If you are local to me and interested, reach out. I will happily share this amazing product with you and your family.
Did you know that one bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner yields (29) 500ml spray bottles? It’s so cost effective and multifunctional. If you are thinking of making the switch to a more natural and healthy way of cleaning, Thieves is a natural powerhouse.
Plus it smells amazing! Seriously, check it out. One purchase that you will thank yourself for ;)
