Oh Poop!

As a mother I am sure you can relate to the story I am about to tell you...

I have four small children and today we had a busy day going to Granna and Papas pool. These days tend to consists of no naps or very little naps. In the end, we were all tired and crabby when we got home from this very fun day! Everyone snuggled with their blankies for awhile before mom had to get up and make dinner.

Now... it's the daunting dinner time! Mama, I know you understand what I am talking about. There is always a child asking for a snack or "when is dinner ready?" and sometimes there is even a baby crying at your legs (in these moments I am thankful for my Baby Bjorn). Preparing dinner is a big task most days.. Then comes sitting down at the table.

If you are a family that sits nice at the table and everyone eats their dinner then you deserve an award! .. tonight's dinner was extra special. While trying to eat-- in the middle of getting little things for the kids or cleaning up spills-- my 11 month old was get really crabby in her high chair. I finally decided to get her out and see if she would play on the floor in the living room. She usually likes her house toy so I was shocked when she didn't want to play with it.

What do you think I saw when I put her on the floor? POOP .. yes, poop!! Now as a mother of four children, poop is a common occurrence in our house. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't encounter some sort of poop mess. When I finally got my daughter into the bath, I noticed there was poop all over my shirt and my pants---ALL OVER.

I couldn't help but laugh... I'm standing in the bathroom with a baby screaming in the tub (happy screams) while I'm filled with poop.

Don't forget that these are moments that you need to give yourself grace, take deep breaths, and remember you are an amazing mother. Even if your dinner is cold and your eating alone with your baby on your lap. The poop adventures will eventually go away and who knows-maybe you'll even miss those little moments. :)

Meet Heather Martin

The sterile scent of hospitals, the hushed, hopeful whispers, and the gnawing fear that lives in every waiting room – these became the unwanted backdrop of my life. It wasn't a single event, but a relentless series of challenges that slowly, profoundly, reshaped my understanding of health and ultimately, my purpose.

It began with my own daughter's cancer diagnosis. The helplessness I felt was amplified a thousandfold. As we navigated her treatment, I scrutinized every aspect of her care, seeking not just survival, but thriving. I began to ask different questions, looking beyond the conventional to see how diet, lifestyle, and a holistic approach could support her body through the immense challenges she faced.

Then, the world tilted on its axis with my beloved father. His terminal cancer diagnosis was a crushing blow, an unyielding reality that traditional medicine, for all its marvels, couldn't alter. We watched, we hoped, we grieved. In the midst of that raw pain, a seed of curiosity took root: Was there more to healing than what we were being told?

My own body then sent a jarring message. I experienced a hemiplegic migraine, an terrifying event that starkly mimicked stroke-like symptoms. The sudden loss of function, the fear, the uncertainty – it was a profound wake-up call. It forced me to confront my own health, which I had unconsciously neglected while caring for others. It was in that moment of vulnerability that I truly understood the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

I realized then that I didn't just want to heal; I wanted to understand why we get sick and how to build true, resilient health from the ground up. I wanted to change the trajectory of my own life, and more importantly, my family's life, away from chronic illness and towards vibrant well-being.

This intense, personal journey ignited an unshakeable passion within me. I devoured knowledge, exploring functional nutrition, mind-body practices, and the profound impact of lifestyle on health. I became an integrative health practitioner because I couldn't keep this newfound understanding to myself. My deepest desire is to guide others through their own health challenges, to empower them with the knowledge and tools to create their own new beginnings, and to help them rewrite their family's health story, just as I've strived to do for my own. It's not just a profession; it's a calling born from love, loss, and a relentless hope for a healthier future for all.
