28. Mothercare, prioritising the basics and avoiding overwhelm- Emma Jacques on Self Care with Herbs
In this episode, I welcome Women’s Health Naturopath, Emma Jacques to the podcast. Emma’s always had a love of eating and growing good food and spending time outside in nature and in her garden. Undertaking a 4 year Bachelor Naturopathy degree while also birthing and caring for 2 children and coming face to face with ‘mum burnout’, inspired her to focus on Women’s Health and in particular ‘Mothercare’ in her practice…
Emma’s been practicing as a Naturopath since 2015, and spent 4 years working alongside acclaimed integrative GP Dr Oscar Serrallach, helping mothers rediscover their vitality and manage their health on the other side of birth. As part of her work with Dr Serrallach, Emma contributed a section on diet to his book, ‘The Postnatal Depletion Cure’.
During this episode, we chat about Emma’s childhood, her love of helping mum and dad in the garden, spending hours outside, collecting treasures from nature for potions.
During our chat, Emma shares how she encourages her clients to prioritise self care above eating well and exercising because when our cups are full, these things come more easily. We chat about the importance of bringing in loved ones so they see the necessity of us taking time for ourselves and can be there to help if needed. And above all, that self care isn’t a privilege, it’s an essential part of living well, that we know how to nurture and support ourselves.
Emma makes some really good points about being realistic about forming new habits- we talk about how falling off the wagon with a new self care habit doesn’t have to be the end of the road and how being aware of this makes the habit easier to maintain.
As both a busy Mum and an experienced Women’s Health pracitioner, Emma has a lot of practical and simple wisdom to share, there’s lots of tips and tricks you’ll take away from this chat.
