Recovering During the Postpartum Period

By Lara / Postpartum, Pregnancy, Pregnancy Related Conditions

After giving birth or what I like to refer to as a ‘birthing marathon’, many women feel exhausted from the physical demands and the emotional highs and lows your body and mind go through as you take on a new stage in mothering.

The postpartum period covers the first 6 weeks following your delivery. During this time the body is going through daily changes with the loss of hormones, the influx of breast milk and adjusting to sleepless nights and patterns of feeding,

7 Reasons to Ditch the Coffee During Preconception and Pregnancy

By Nora / Miscarriage & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, Pregnancy Related Conditions, Unexplained Infertility

If you’re pregnant or trying to conceive, you’ve probably been told by your doctor that coffee is completely safe.

Well, I beg to differ and want to share with you my thoughts on why it’s best to avoid caffeine altogether during preconception and pregnancy. Please note that all references can be found at the end of this article.

migraines during pregnancy

I’ve been coming to Yinstill for a few months now (during my first trimester) for migraines. When you walk in, there is such a calm and relaxing atmosphere that even my husband has commented on it! Everyone from the staff (Sarah and Claire) to Junko who has been treating me have been so kind and helpful.

This can produce a significant change in the circulation of the fluids and the energies of your body.

Pregnancy Loss. Unburden Your Heart.

By Erin / Miscarriage & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, Pregnancy Related Conditions

Trying to get pregnant after a miscarriage is an emotional journey. If a woman has suffered several miscarriages, the journey has taken a toll on both her body and her spirit. Often, questions of why and how are being asked – is it because of my egg quality? is there a genetic incompatibility? is there something wrong with my uterus? what about immunological or blood clotting factors? endocrine or thyroid reasons? am I really “unexplainable”?
