This website is the perfect way to clear out the old and bring in the new energy you crave with your new baby.

Lumiceuticals.com – If you are the type of person that needs help resting these lights are an amazing way to capitalize on rest and encourage your body to relax. There are a combination of red, blue, green, and yellow light therapy pads that put healing light into the body. This allows you to have light therapy in the comfort of your home.
You can also rent the lights for 2 weeks under the In Home Sessions/Trial tab under Products. Try them out before purchasing and see if you enjoy them. The first time I tried them I felt like I had a full night’s rest in the short 20 minute nap I took! Game changer for those long sleepless nights with the new baby.
Superpatch.com – Super Patch is an ingredient free patch with a code embedded in the patch that your brain reads. There are 12 different patches, 3 that I find beneficial for new moms are liberty, joy, and peace. When a new mom’s body is adjusting back into structural alignment after having a baby, the liberty patch sends a message to the brain that all systems, including the skeletal system, are aligned. The joy patch sends a message to the brain to feel joy, this is great for postpartum depression. The peace patch sends a message to the brain that it is calm. This helps with postpartum anxiety. There are times when along with rest and good nutrition the brain needs extra support. The superpatch is a great solution.
