✨LIFE UPDATE✨ We’re moving back to San Luis

✨LIFE UPDATE✨

We’re moving back to San Luis Obispo (SLO) on California’s central coast! 🌅

Both Brooks and I lived most of our adult lives in SLO before moving to Amsterdam. After four years in Amsterdam we came back to the San Francisco Bay Area as a landing pad because that’s where some of our family is.

Now, after a year in the Bay, we’re ready to go back to our other home of SLO with the added bonus that some of the grandparents will be moving down with us too! 🙌

If you’re still in the area, please reach out! We’ll be moving down the last week of June.

So excited to be 15 mins from the beach again 🥰🏖☀️

About the 🎥: Sixty years after the pill revolutionized women's emancipation, "The Business of Birth Control" examines the complex relationship between hormonal birth control and women’s health and liberation. The documentary traces the feminist movement to investigate and expose the pill's risks alongside the racist legacy of hormonal contraception and its ongoing weaponization against communities of color. Weaving together the stories of bereaved parents, body literacy activists and femtech innovators, the film reveals a new generation seeking holistic and ecological alternatives to the pill while redefining the meaning of reproductive justice.

POSTPARTUM BODY I loved all the posts I saw at th

POSTPARTUM BODY

I loved all the posts I saw at the beginning of the new year encouraging us that it doesn’t have to be “New year, new you.”

Your body is perfect just the way it is ❤️

I 100% agree with this and love all the accounts I follow that have helped me love my postpartum body.

I gave myself lots of grace that first year postpartum and didn’t have any unrealistic expectations of my body “bouncing back” after baby.

All this doesn’t change the fact that I was ready to do a reset and focus on my health again one year postpartum. It was a mix of wanting to pour into myself again after a tough year, but I’m not going to lie, I wanted to lose some of that baby weight too, and that’s totally okay.

Yes I believe our bodies are perfect just the way they are, and I believe in doing cleanses, eating better and moving our bodies.

There is always space for “yes, and..”

It really depends on where our hearts are and the why behind what we are doing.

I did a cleanse last September-November and did it from a place of love for my body. I feel sooo much better since doing this cleanse and I’m so thankful I did it.

So I’m just here to say:

Your body is perfect just the way it is and you don’t have to do a single thing 💃🏻

And

If you want to do a cleanse, start eating better or exercising more, you can do that as well 🥒 💪

Just check in with your heart, and always do things out of love for your body ❤️ #postpartumbodylove #postpartumhealth #newyearnewyou #cleanse

Does it still count as a happy New Year post if it

Does it still count as a happy New Year post if it’s January 26th? 🤪 #lifewithaoneyearold

We started the year off with the Vid 🤒. Thankfully we were all better within a week and I’m glad to have gotten it over with.

Since then I’ve been doing lots of work behind the scenes of my business so I haven’t been posting much but I’m still here!

Still meeting with my FAM clients for their one-on-one consultations after they’ve taken one of my video courses, still here to answer all your questions, and soon will be back posting more women’s hormone health and Fertility Awareness Method goodness for you all 😘😘

Are you feeling ready to come off hormonal birth c

Are you feeling ready to come off hormonal birth control but are afraid of your acne coming back? 🤦‍♀️ I get it!

Acne was the exact reason why I went on the pill at 18. It sounded like such a quick fix but now looking back, it totally wasn’t worth it.

The reason why you might experience post birth control acne is because the pill reduces sebum (facial oil). Then, when you go off the pill, your ovaries kick back into gear again and temporarily produce more androgen hormones and your skin starts making even more sebum than before as vengeance 😈.

So before quitting the pill, try these three things for at least a month to help ease that transition:

1. Cut out sugar & dairy
2. Start taking a Zinc supplement
3. Nourish your gut microbiome

All three of these have to do with reducing inflammation in the body.

1️⃣Cleaning up your overall diet can have a huge effect on your skin health, but sugar 🍭and dairy 🥛 in particular are known to cause inflammation and many of my clients have reported clearer skin when staying away from them.

2️⃣You can get zinc through beans, nuts, poultry, red meat, and whole grains but for acne in particular a good supplement can really help! It helps fights inflammation and can even help wound healing and scarring.

3️⃣Your gut microbiome has to do with almost everything in your body, including your largest organ, the skin! The best way to nourish your gut microbiome is by eating probiotic rich foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and kombucha etc. If you want to learn how to make these yourself be sure to check out my friends @groundedapproach and get her fermentation course via @happyhealthylittles

Or take a high quality probiotic supplement. My favorite is called Life 9 by Young Living. You can shop Young Living via my referral in the link in my bio.

What has helped you the most with post poll acne?

This simple $16 basal thermometer just came in the

This simple $16 basal thermometer just came in the mail. It’s the same kind that I have been using to practice FAM as birth control for over 9 years. I had to order a new one after my one year old son threw my previous one away 🤪

This isn’t a regular fever thermometer. It’s a basal thermometer which is more sensitive and accurate for charting purposes, but you don’t need a fancy basal thermometer like @daysyfertilitytracker for $300 or a $10 monthly subscription like @naturalcycles to practice FAM 🤑. These are “smart" thermometers that take your temperature everyday and based on their algorithm determines your fertile window.

I am so grateful these technologies exist, and they are great if you don’t have the time or desire to learn how your fertility works, but the truth is, they are not absolutely necessary to practice FAM as birth control.

To practice FAM, all you need is the knowledge 📚, plus a $16 basal thermometer 🌡. To gain that knowledge, maybe a course or a book will cost you $30-150, but that’s just a one time purchase and the knowledge will last you a lifetime.

#fertilityawarenessmethod #FAM #chartyourcycle #basalthermometer #naturalbirthcontrol

This Agreement is made today between Hana Wellness and the person named in the order of this video course [the Client].

The Program in which you are about to enroll in will include all of the following:

3 Videos on how to practice the Fertility Awareness Method
List of best resources
One, 1 hour video call session with Hana
Support in sharing FAM with your partner, overcoming fears and anxieties and establishing a trust in your body for your lifetime.

Refunds

Because of the nature of a video course, I do not offer refunds.

1:1 Video call scheduling

I understand that my clients have busy schedules and I take pride in not keeping them waiting or keeping them longer than planned. Each session will end 60 minutes after it was scheduled to begin. Please be on time. If the Client needs to cancel or reschedule the appointment, the Client must do so 24 hours in advance; otherwise, the Client will forfeit that appointment and will not have an opportunity to reschedule it.

Disclaimers

The Client understands that the role of Hana is not to provide health care, medical or nutrition therapy services; or to diagnose, treat or cure any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body. The Client understands that Hana is acting in the capacity of a certified holistic health coach and not in the capacity of a doctor, licensed dietician-nutritionist, psychologist or other licensed or registered professional, and any advice given by Hana is not meant to take the place of advice by these professionals. If the Client is under the care of a healthcare professional or currently uses prescription medications, the Client should discuss any dietary changes or potential dietary supplements use with her doctor, and should not discontinue any prescription medications without first consulting her doctor. The Client has chosen to work with Hana and understands that the information received should not be seen as medical or nursing advice and is not meant to take the place of seeing licensed health professionals.

Hana is not a certified Fertility Awareness Method educator. The information taught here is based on her own experience, knowledge and research. Hana is self-taught, she has tried and tested FAM herself and feels obliged, hugely passionate and responsible to help more women learn FAM.

This video course is perfect for all women who would like an introduction to FAM. If you need additional support, beyond Hana’s bonus one hour video call, it’s advised that you consult with a certified FAM educator. This additional support can be helpful if your charts are unclear due to hormone imbalance or during different life stages such postpartum and perimenopause. See my resources document to find certified FAM educators in your area or online.

Personal responsibility and release of health care related claims

The Client acknowledges that the Client takes full responsibility for the Client’s life and well-being, as well as the lives and well-being of the Client’s family and children (where applicable), and all decisions made during and after this program. The Client expressly assumes the risks of the Program, including the risk of pregnancy. The Client releases Hana Wellness from any and all liability, damages, causes of action, allegations, suits, sums of money, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or equity, which the Client ever had, now has or will have in the future against Hana Wellness, arising from the Client’s past or future participation in, or otherwise with respect to, the Program, unless arising from the gross negligence of Hana Wellness.

Confidentiality

Hana Wellness will keep the Client’s information private, and will not share the Client’s information to any third party unless compelled to by law.

Arbitration, choice of law, and limited remedies

In the event that there ever arises a dispute between Hana Wellness and Client with respect to the services provided pursuant to this agreement or otherwise pertaining to the relationship between the parties, the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Center for the Americas Mediation and Arbitration Rules). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The sole remedy that can be awarded to the Client in the event that an award is granted in arbitration is refund of the Program Fee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no award of consequential or other damages, unless specifically set forth herein, may be granted to the Client. This agreement shall be construed according to the laws of the State of California. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Agreement shall be severed and remain in full force. The Client acknowledges that: (1) She has received a copy of this letter agreement; (2) she has had an opportunity to discuss the contents with Hana Wellness and, if desired, to have it reviewed by an attorney; and (3) the client understands, accepts and agrees to abide by the terms hereof.
