This past week at my home has been a journey through the “winter rhythms” of flu season. It began with my three youngest returning home with the flu, followed by a rotating door of recovery and new symptoms. By the time I thought we had cleared the woods, my own body whispered—then spoke loudly—that it was my turn to pause. http://www.twoheartshealing.info
On Saturday, I found myself tucked under a blanket with a cup of tea, surrendering to the fever. I have learned over the years that while my immune system is strong, its strength often comes from my willingness to listen. When I stop and give my body the grace to simply be, to burn off what it needs to, the healing comes so much swifter.
I share this not because it has a direct link to our focus on morning sickness, but as a reminder of the “Healing Heartbeat” philosophy: our bodies are wise, and they are always communicating with us if we are quiet enough to hear.
** Closing the Chapter on Morning Sickness
————————————————————
As we wrap up our conversations on morning sickness this month, I want to share a piece of my heart with you regarding why I wrote my book, Morning Sickness: The Energy Connections Behind a Barf-free Pregnancy. (https://twoheartshealing.info/wp-content/uploads/sites/109/2025/09/Morning-Sickness-PDF-2025.pdf)
As many of you know, morning sickness was my constant, difficult companion for a cumulative three years of my life. Through the trial, error, and deep research during eleven “first trimesters”, I finally found the key: ensuring the energetic connections between mother and baby are vibrant, strong, and aligned.
I don’t want any mother to feel she must simply “endure” this phase without support. My book contains the tools and energetic insights that changed my life, and I offer it to you as a gift. You can download your free digital copy [here] (https://twoheartshealing.info/wp-content/uploads/sites/109/2025/09/Morning-Sickness-PDF-2025.pdf) .
** Connecting with the Unseen
————————————————————
I was speaking with a friend recently who is about six weeks pregnant. She shared how difficult this stage can be—navigating the two pink lines followed by a “starving stomach” while feeling a lack of tangible connection to the life growing inside.
If you are in that space, I want to share a ritual I practiced through many of my first trimesters (https://www.birtheducationcenter.com/first-trimester/) :
Find a quiet moment to lie on your back. Place your hands over your uterus, close your eyes, and visualize your baby at their current stage of development. Speak to them. Tell them about your love, your excitement, and even your fears.
For me, those early weeks were like a beautiful secret—a “Christmas Eve” feeling I carried with me to the grocery store or while homeschooling. No one else knew yet, but the bond was already being woven. I would often stop and smile inwardly and think “I have a secret.” You are never truly alone in this journey; the connection starts now.
** Supportive Care
————————————————————
I want to leave you with one final, powerful tool for your wellness toolkit. One form of energy work I haven’t mentioned yet this month—and one that was a cornerstone of my own journey through three of my pregnancies—is acupuncture.
** The Gentle Flow of Acupuncture in Pregnancy
————————————————————
Acupuncture is rooted in the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) (https://centerforacupuncturenh.com/) . It works by gently stimulating specific points along the body’s meridians to balance the flow of energy, or Qi. During pregnancy, our bodies are in a constant state of flux, and acupuncture provides a safe, non-invasive way to bring everything back into harmony.
Beyond helping with the nausea and “starving stomach” that we have been discussing, acupuncture is a wonderful ally for:
* Restoring Vitality: Helping to lift the heavy fatigue often felt in the first trimester.
* Emotional Balancing: Providing a grounding space to process the anxiety or “newness” of the journey.
* Physical Relief: Easing the back pain, sciatica, and digestive shifts (like reflux) that come as the body expands.
* Nourishing Life: There is a beautiful TCM concept called Yang Sheng, which means “to nourish life.” Acupuncture isn’t just for when something is “wrong”; it is a way to proactively nourish both yourself and your baby, creating a vibrant foundation for the months ahead.

** Looking Ahead to February: Finding Your Mother-Heart
————————————————————
As we move into the short, cold month of February, we will shift our focus to The Mother-Heart. We won’t just be talking about the physical organ that pumps our blood, but the emotional and relational center of our being. We will explore how a mother’s life experiences, her history, and her emotional landscape directly impact her pregnancy and her journey into motherhood.
Until then, remember to breathe, listen to your body’s wisdom, and hold your “secret” close to your heart.
