Dear *|FNAME|*,
Fifteen years ago, I found myself in a winter that felt never-ending. I was pregnant with my first baby and suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK532917/) . It was January, the house was sealed tight against the cold, and I was living in a shared space where housekeeping wasn’t a priority.
The refrigerator was a minefield of odors. The sofa, the bathroom, even the breath of the people around me—everything felt like an assault on my senses. There was no “safe” smell.
With the tiny bit of energy I had, I would pull on my coat and stagger outside to the woods behind the house. I would find an evergreen tree, crush the needles between my fingers, and inhale. That sharp, clean scent was the only thing that offered a moment of reprieve from the crushing nausea.
** Morning Sickness & The Body Code
Back then, I thought I was simply “unlucky” or that my body was failing me. Today, through my work with the Body Code (https://discoverhealing.com/ref/heatherlefoll/) , I see it differently. While morning sickness is often dismissed as “just hormones,” the Body Code allows us to dig deeper into why the body is reacting so violently to those hormonal shifts.
When I look back at my own experience with Hyperemesis, I now understand that my body was riddled with prenatal disconnections and emotional trauma. The Body Code looks for specific imbalances that contribute to pregnancy distress:
* Prenatal Disconnections: This occurs when the energetic connection between the mother and the developing baby is misaligned or broken. This can happen during times of high stress or trauma during pregnancy, causing the mother’s body to struggle to “recognize” or harmonize with the new life within.
* Organ Disconnections: Often, the communication between the brain and the digestive system (specifically the stomach and liver) becomes “short-circuited” by the stress of pregnancy.
* Trapped Emotions: We can carry “Inherited Emotions” or “Shared Emotions” with the baby. If the mother is feeling overwhelmed or fearful about the future, the body often processes that energy through the solar plexus—the seat of digestion.
* Toxins & Pathogens: Sometimes the body is struggling to detoxify the extra hormones, and a Body Code session can identify if a specific organ needs energetic support to clear that “sludge.”
By identifying and releasing these energetic blocks, we move the body from a state of “rejection” (nausea) back into a state of “harmony” (nurturing).
** How do I bond with my baby when I feel so sick?
————————————————————
It is incredibly difficult to feel “maternal” when you are hovering over a sink or confined to a dark room. When your physical body is in distress, your survival instinct kicks in, which can make you feel disconnected from the life growing inside you.
The secret is to stop trying to bond through the physical stomach and start bonding through the energetic heart-space.
** Try a 5 Minute “Heart to Womb” Connection
————————————————————
Try this ritual to shift your focus from the physical stomach to the energetic heart.
1. Find Your Center: Sit or lie down in a position that minimizes your nausea. Place one hand on your heart and the other on your lower abdomen.
2. The Golden Thread: Close your eyes. Visualize a soft, golden thread of light connecting your heart directly to your baby.
3. Bypass the Discomfort: Imagine your breath moving in and out through your heart, completely bypassing your stomach. You are breathing with your baby, not through your sickness.
4. The Heartbeat Pulse: Feel your own heartbeat. Imagine it sending a rhythmic wave of calm down that golden thread. Silently say to your baby: “I am here, and you are loved. We are doing this together.”
5. Release: Spend two more minutes simply resting in that heart-space.
** Create an Indoor Forest: Reclaiming Your Air
————————————————————
When it’s too cold to open the house, but the indoor smells are closing in on you, you can recreate that “crushed needle” relief I found in the woods.
** “Evergreen Sanctuary” Essential Oil Blend
————————————————————
Coniferous oils are grounding and sharp, often helping to “cut through” the heavy, stagnant air of a winter home.
* Classic Evergreen: Balsam Fir + Cedarwood + Juniper Berry (for a classic snowy forest).
* Deep Forest Floor: Cedarwood + Patchouli (just a drop!) + Vetiver (for damp earthiness).
* Frosted Forest: Douglas Fir + Peppermint (for a cool, crisp feel).
* Redwood Scent: Cedarwood + Sandalwood + Juniper Berry (to mimic a rich, earthy redwood aroma).
Blending Tip: Start with a base of fir, pine, or cedarwood. Add a touch of patchouli or vetiver for “forest floor” depth, and a drop of lemon or peppermint for brightness.
** Try it for 3 days!
————————————————————
I invite you to try either the Heart-to-Womb Meditation or the Evergreen Blend (or both!) for the next three days.
Reply to this email and let me know: Did shifting your focus to your heart change how you felt toward your baby? Did the forest scents help clear the “heaviness” of your home? I read every response and would love to hear your story.
** Special January Offer
————————————————————
If the morning sickness or the emotional weight of transition feels overwhelming, you don’t have to navigate it alone. This month, I am offering a comprehensive support system designed to stabilize your body and synchronize your spirit.
Rather than just “getting through” the first trimester, this bundle helps you build a foundation of ease for your entire pregnancy.
The Bundle Includes 4 Deep-Dive Sessions ($525 Value):
* 2 Prenatal Connection Sessions: We will check the energetic and physiological “communication lines” between you and your baby, identifying any rifts or blockages that may be manifesting as physical distress.
* 1 Foods & Herbs Session: No more guessing games. We will test specifically to determine what your body—and your baby—is actually asking for. We’ll identify the “Macro Anchors” and specific herbs that will soothe your unique metabolic profile.
* 1 Pregnancy Welcoming Session: We shift the focus to the subconscious, clearing out old belief systems and performing energetic balancing to ensure you and your baby are in a state of mutual welcome and readiness for birth.
* Personalized Email Summaries: After every session, you’ll receive a clear summary of our findings and your “steady-drip” action plan so you never feel lost.

** A Sneak Peak Into Next Week
————————————————————
If today’s tips felt like a breath of fresh air, you won’t want to miss next week’s issue. We are diving deep into the upcoming Intuitive First Trimester Workshop happening Wednesday, Jan 28th!
I’ll be giving you a peak into the workshop, specifically focusing on how we bridge the gap between physical relief and energetic Body Code work. We will be discussing:
* Sensory Mapping: A powerful technique to rewire how your brain interprets “trigger” smells and sensations.
* Vagus Nerve Reset: Simple, physical movements to toggle your nervous system from “Fight or Flight” (nausea and anxiety) back into “Rest and Digest” (calm and connection).
This workshop is designed for the mama who is tired of just “powering through” and is ready to start thriving.

Workshop: The Intuitive First Trimester
When: Wednesday, January 28th (https://twoheartshealing.info/contact/intuitive-first-trimester/) ; 12:30 pm
Where: Virtual (from the comfort of your couch!)
Since January is a “bonus” month with five weeks, I wanted to do something extra special. We won’t just be talking about the physical symptoms of the first trimester; we’re going to dive into the energetic connection between you and your growing baby.
During this workshop, we will explore:
* The Mind-Body Bridge: Using breathwork to calm the vagus nerve and settle the “fearsome” waves of nausea.
* Body Code Integration: I’ll be sharing how I use Body Code work to identify and release energetic imbalances that can exacerbate morning sickness.
* Prenatal Connections: We will discuss how to foster a deep, soulful bond with your baby from the very beginning, even when you aren’t feeling your best physically.
* Sensory Mapping: Learning to intuitively identify and “clear” the environmental triggers in your home that are taxing your system.
Whether you are currently pregnant, planning to be, or simply want to learn more about the energetic side of maternal wellness, I would love to see you there.
