My Top 5 Motherhood Oils for Fall: Oshawa Motherhood Studio Photography
Welcome to September! Kids are back to school and as we get adjusted to new routines this week ( or settle into old ones) with it brings a lot of mental and physical exhaustion. And of course germs and sickness. Being a parent is hard enough, but when your little one/s or family goes down for the count it all falls on mom right? Germs are everywhere and a part of our lives, but there are things you can do to help keep your families immune systems strong.
I’ve put together a list of my top 5 oils for motherhood that will help keep you and your family healthy. While still keeping your sanity too.
Here’s my top 5 motherhood oils…your Easy Button!
In order from left to right:
Thieves-this will be your game changer to keeping the family healthy. And when sickness hits, your recovery time will be drastically cut down. Thieves kills 99.96% of all airborne germs. Diffuse, wear topically or make Thieves, Lemon and honey tea when onset of sickness starts. Thieves is a hot oil so use with carrier oil on little ones on soles of feet or spine.
R.C- (respiratory care) amazing for sinus congestion, cough, allergies, asthma, sleep and lung infections. I also use this for my workouts. Keeps the airways open ;) Diffuse or wear topically.
Lavender- one I don’t go without. YL’s lavender is not your grandma’s lavender lol. It’s so so good. I use this daily for sleep, managing stress when I need some calm/grounding. It’s also in my mom’s wellness kit. Scrapes, bites, burns, use in your skincare regimen and so much more. Use topically on pulse points or drop into hand and inhale. Diffuse and transform your space to have more Zen/Spa like vibes.
Stressaway- Yeo the name says it all. It’s your vacation in a bottle :) Used for reducing stress and keeping emotions where they should be. That goes for ALL ages. Can be used topically or diffused. Added to skin, hair. body products or worn as perfume.
Progessence- Hormones and emotions, time of the month and overall balance. Every mama needs this magical oil. Low Progesterone is so common in women ( including myself) Progessence is made with wild yam and is a natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement. It also helps relieve PMS and all symptoms around your period too.
You pour every ounce of your being into your family mama. I am SO proud of you!
Just look at the GORGEOUS tiny human you have raised!

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 ;)

Gentle Baby: Oshawa Low Tox Motherhood & Baby Studio
Welcome to the world sweet little Navy!

At the same time, Motherhood is also messy. As much as you plan for it, sometimes the unexpected arrises during their stages of growth that leave you exhausted and emotional. Speaking from someone who went through bad postpartum depression and years of meds. Fast forward a little… years ago a beautiful essential oil was introduced to me (well after mine had grown out of the baby stage) but I started using it during my Photography sessions and sharing it with my clients. I had a ton of messages and calls once they used it thanking me for saving their sanity lol.
Gentle Baby is a Blended oil is just that, single oils are mixed together to create a blend. Gentle Baby was designed specifically for expectant mothers and newborn babies. It’s comforting, soothing and relaxing. Helpful during pregnancy, birth and once baby arrives.
Gentle Baby helps with the following:
-stretch marks & wrinkles
-dry and chapped skin
-diaper rash
-colic
-fussy babies
-rashes
-stress
-gas
I wish I had this when my children were babies.. All those sleepless nights, pacing the house while rocking my baby to take away any discomfort and the stress could have been eliminated.
Since essential oils are so concentrated, a super easy way for moms to take them on the go is to create little rollerballs to use anywhere at any time. Gentle Baby (and any oil) can be mixed with a carrier oil (ie: jojoba, coconut, grape seed or V6 oil from Young Living) .
A special thanks to our beautiful clients who came in to celebrate the arrival of their littlest addition. Taylor, Mark and Tatum and Navy, we adore you all and can’t wait to see you again. As always a massive shoutout to Aspen Florist for working her magic to create such GORGEOUS and timeless photographs for our families. We love you to pieces!
