  • Improved Sleep: Spending time in nature, especially in the morning sunlight, can regulate our sleep patterns and promote better sleep quality.
  • Strengthened Immune System: Exposure to nature can boost our immune system, making us more resistant to illnesses.
How to Incorporate Nature into Your Daily Life

Meet Heather Martin

 
For years, I didn't feel like myself.

Even as I was putting a smile on everyday, I still felt like a helpless mother. It was really hard on me emotionally and had started to affect the rest of my family.

After having undiagnosed postpartum depression three times in three years-- I decided my fourth was going to be different. My research and what I had been through, helped immensely. I decided to start using some products from a company I know and trust while incorporating other things into my life. 

The fourth trimester after my fourth baby was completely different. The first three pregnancies (fourth trimester) was very difficult--being fake, pretending to be happy, smiling, and laughing like I was okay. 

Now, I am vibrant. I'm on a mission to help a lot of people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources that I have learned during those years.
