Hey sweet world!

The time has come to call in my next community after taking some time to recover from some challenging times as a little family.

I have three rooms for rent- two bright and beautiful upstairs rooms and a large newly-renovated basement room.

I’m seeking either:
-another family to share my home with,
-single mamas,
-women who want to do land-based projects
-women who want to help with my children,

I strongly prefer to live with women or families. I offer a reduction in rent for those who can help with my kids.

The house is a gorgeous bungalow on 9 acres of land across from a conservation area on the Saugeen River. There are animals on the land, a big organic garden, a large garage, and opportunity for land-based ventures (growing things, raising animals, forest school, hosting small events, etc.) I have a toddler who is here full time and a 7 year old who lives here half-time.

Rooms are available for $800, $900, and $1200 (based on size).

This is a primary way I sustain myself as a single mom to a toddler and a kid with a disability/medical issues. So please share this post and help me find my new community home members!

Thank you 🙏 ☀️💫💗🌿🌸🐻🌻

You woke up at 6am on your 7th birthday, excited to open your presents. You had a bath while I prepared your medecines for the day. Once you had your breakfast and medicine you were off to play.

You played the whole day, only stopping to eat the low protein snacks we made for you and take your medecine. You laughed and did all the things a child is meant to do- enjoying your life thoroughly.

At the party you said the low protein cake I made for your special diet hurt your wiggly tooth (it was indeed too chewy 🤣). Your cousin liked one of the presents you got, and without hesitation you gave it to him. You hugged and laughed with your friends. When you left for your Papa’s house we had the sweetest hug and I could feel your joy.

I cried twice today in gratitude of your life, and once in remembrance of all the scary things we went through these past two years.

When you were sick you screamed for 5+ hours at a time, slept poorly, and puked every day. I put earplugs in and held you as you screamed. Every day was harrowing and difficult.

Once you were in the hospital you got even more sick. You lost all ability to use your body.
It was so scary. I sang to you and you took deeper breaths than any child should ever have to.

But you, my dear, are my savage daughter.

Without hesitation you got yourself up out of bed in that hospital and relearned to walk.

Without hesitation, you taught yourself to speak and swallow and LIVE again. 🙏💗

Thank you sweet Juniper for being untameable, for being exactly you, for your grit and determination and fire.

I sense that nothing will hold either of us back from here on in.

May you continue to teach others how to be strong, may you fly, and may your life be long.

Happy Birthday.
🙏💗🌻🌸🥳🔥

The path of the wild sovereign woman is not for the faint of heart.

You may be shamed.

Some may claim you are seeking attention, you are a narcissist, you need to quiet down and be more pleasing.

Your embodiment, your creativity, your range of emotion may be seen as a threat, as ungodly, as impure.

Sisters, remember: Your humility, your willingness to be seen even in the mess, your grief, your anger, your forgiveness, your resilience, your song, your dance… this is your power.

You can reclaim yourself again and again by looking at your problems from a lens of “how did I contribute to this?”

Blame is a sword that you must put down again and again.

Innocence is a seat you can choose to inhabit at any time. No one can take it from you.

Pleasure is power, it is fuel for your work of service. Claim it. So you can give from a full cup.

Grief is a river that flows, let it flow freely.

I share this as a woman who almost put myself away this year- who almost decided that my very essence must be “bad” and “wrong” because of heavy projections that came my way, and from intense hardships that I faced as a single mother.

But then, swimming naked in the river with my sisters, I remembered.

This body is my home. This earth is my home. Every part of me is welcome - even the parts I’d rather hide.

I am not “bad” or “wrong”. I don’t deserve to suffer for having made turns in my journey that led to hardship.

If you haven’t noticed- the earth is unravelling. We are unravelling together with her and building something new by being honest about our love AND about our pain.

Few of us were offered enough tools to navigate this journey and so we are finding the tools as we go.

Be the wayfinder. Share from what you learn as you are tossed about in the waves of life. 🌊

The old ways can no longer hold all of us. So make new ways that hold you the way you long to be held.

Grieve and dance and sing and heal and offer your gifts. As you do- your soul will remind you how to find your way home, and you will guide others home too.

With love,
B

We had a beautiful gardening day on Monday- everyone spent the whole day outside, kids included! 🍉🌸💗🙏🌻

I’ve had such contrasting moments of both bliss and suffering lately and I’ve been thinking about how full my life has been of ALL OF IT.

It has not been easy coming down from the stress of our spring at the hospital- my body finally crashed, which I expected might happen. In German New Medicine, which is a modality of health based on BIOLOGY, there is a “healing phase” after a crisis.

This is why some of us get sick on vacation or days off- because the body finally has a chance to come back into balance after being stressed or “in conflict”.

So as my body resolves various big life stressors, I try to be patient and remind myself that it is all part of the body’s wise way of adapting to life! (But parenting while managing illness is next level 😅).

I’m also getting used to managing my daughter’s disorder which is no small feat- it involves weighing everything she eats, calculating her protein intake, administering medicines and supplements 3 times a day, and keeping her g-tube clean. I’m getting the hang of it slowly… and grateful she is so much happier on a daily basis because of this careful management.

Thanks to the many angels in my life who make it all a bit easier, and huge thanks to Sandy and Betty and Kathryn for helping with another gardening work bee on Monday! 💗🍉☀️🥕🌸🌻

Thank you to the sweet friends that have helped me get my garden started and that are bringing new life to the lands here!

We have 6 beautiful calves in the barn, two big gardens getting planted, and friends dropping by to help on Mondays (come on over!).

We have a new compost toilet built in the garden shed by my dad (for all our summer gatherings), and my basement that got severely flooded this spring while I was at the hospital is getting fixed!

The strawberry 🍓 patch is in full flower, and the birds are singing! The lilacs are almost finished blooming, the first iris has opened, and soon the peonies will burst.

Spring is a beautiful, hopeful thing 🌸🙏💗

Hi friends!
I’m Excited to present another one of our fabulous guest workshop facilitators for this summer’s Nourished Mama Garden Club (4 spots left for those interested!).

Meet Chloe Sanchez, multi-talented mom of 4, will be leading the mamas through An Elemental Journey through The Heart Detox including Reiki, trauma-informed somatic release, and more!

“I invite you to this workshop to step into a nourishing experience of elemental healing.

A space to soften, receive, and reconnect with the wisdom of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit.

We begin with gentle breath, movement, and meditation, inviting in the energy of each element:

Air moves through our minds as we enter “Moments of Honesty”, an intuitive writing ritual to clear mental clutter and speak our truth onto the page.

Water flows through our tea and elixir ceremony, featuring herbs of Venus and Jupiter, opening the heart to love, beauty, harmony, and abundance.

Fire is honored through a solar meditation or light movement, awakening passion, vitality, and inner radiance.

Earth holds our beauty ritual, connecting us to Venusian plants and their power to support sensuality, self-worth, and holistic healing.

Spirit is present throughout, guiding us inward and upward as we connect to the universe, the elements, and our own divine essence.”

See full workshop description on the page- link in profile!

Reach out if you’d like to join the Nourished Mama Garden Club and partake in this amazing workshop this summer!☀️🙏🌻🌸

Even though 2025 has been a tough year for my little family, I’ve decided to go ahead and grow a big garden of produce - some for sale, some for donation, and some for The Nourished Mama Garden Club. 💗

Today my new friend Betty and I were planting leeks together and she asked me how I started farming. I recalled how I had dropped out of university with a serious illness and ended up volunteering on an organic farm in Florida once I was well enough to work.

Once I began to work outside and eat whole foods my body began to feel much better than it had for a while. To this day, after many other life adventures, I still find great nourishment and healing in getting my sweat on in the garden, and eating a meal made from fresh garden produce. I feel so fortunate that we got home from the hospital just in time to start a garden!

☀️🌿🙏

So far in the garden we’ve planted leeks, onions, garlic, kale, lettuce, broccoli, kohlrabi, chives, zinnias, cilantro, dill, chamomile… and coming back from last year we’ve got currants, raspberries, blackberries, loads of strawberries, and a few other random fruits!

Soon we will plant carrots, potatoes, beans, beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, melons, and winter squash!

If you ever want to spend a day helping in the garden (or holding my baby so I can garden without also chasing children) come on by on a Monday from 10-4. 💗🌿🐝🌻🌸🥕

Happy gardening!

Bethany

Hi Mamas!

This summer I am bringing mothers together on the land - to tend our hearts, to tend our bodies, to tend the land, and more.

We will have 5 Mama Retreat Days:
June 14, July 5-6 (camp-out), August 16, September 13, October 18

And additional Garden Gathering Days.

THIS YEAR ONLY the program will be “Pay From the Heart”. This means you can offer payment of whatever feels accessible to you or you can offer trade (run a workshop or help with cooking or childcare!).

Each visit mamas will go home with organic vegetables from the garden, and nourishment from community, self-care activities, healing herbs and foods, and nature.

Each month we will have guest facilitators offering different workshops on self-care and natural health.

The program begins in 4 weeks and there are 5 spots still available!

To join, you simply need to commit to attending 3/5 Retreat Days, send me your phone number, and tell me about yourself and your kids!

If you’d like more information please comment NOURISHED below or send me a message!

I look forward to being with you on the land!

Swinging while mama works in the garden. 🌻💗

This was our first week home from the hospital.

Juniper has been laughing in a way I haven’t heard her laugh since she was a toddler. And she has been able to manage her moods and big feelings with an ease I’ve never seen before in her life.

For years she has had the inability to digest protein and has had high ammonia in her body and brain which is essentially a toxin.

In the last two years when she was incredibly defiant and would have meltdowns for hours where I would just put earplugs in and sit with her. Those times were very hard.

Thank goodness for all the parenting experts such as who reminded me through the worst times that kids have good reasons for acting out- and sometimes we just don’t know what they are. In my case - years went by before I found out!

For anyone out there having challenges with their kids please remember that we don’t always know what is going on for that child physiologically or mentally. Please don’t resort to punishing your kids (and I’m not talking natural consequences, I’m talking spanking, yelling, shaming, hitting, forcing them to be alone, or harming their self esteem.)

No one is a perfect parent, and real life with kids is a lot harder than most non-parents realize. Love to all you parents out there!

Please share your favourite conscious parenting accounts in the comments! I’m just beginning toddler phase with my baby and need to brush up on a few things 😅🙏🌻💗🌸

(Continued from last post)

There were countless nurses who were patient and kind with me every time I asked for a pause in a procedure to help my daughter regulate her nervous system, and to attempt to reduce the trauma of the most challenging experiences for her.

In this time my co-parent (of Juniper) and his wife had a baby JUST as Juniper came through her critical condition. The timing of that baby’s birth was a miracle, and every day of Juniper’s recovery has been an absolute miracle as well.

From the bottom of my heart: Thank you for helping and praying for our families. This outpouring of love and prayers helped more than anything.

The world is full of paradox. Life is full of mystery. We danced with so much darkness in this time and I feel we triumphed over all the things that could have taken us out- thanks to the grace of God.

I’m clear that the only way forward as a mom of my two glorious children is daily surrender 🙏💗and asking for lots of help.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes and a belated Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there!
