If y’all are podcast listeners, THIS episode is a good one! I was interviewed by my sweet friend Meg Ryan for the Whimsy + wellness podcast! We chatted about essential oils and their use in pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. If you are pregnant or hope to be… I think this will be helpful for you!
Something I have become really passionate about is helping mamas be empowered and informed to make their own decisions when it comes to pregnancy, labor, and birth. I did absolutely zero research when I was pregnant with my first, Rivers, but this past go-round I immersed myself in all of it.
Our conversation included:
Using essential oils for: pregnancy, labor, and postpartum
Supporting Your Emotions
A Healthier Pregnancy Journey
Finding A Health Provider That Fits With Your Birth Vision
How To Handle The Second & Third Trimester
Setting Your Postpartum Up For Success
What You Need To Pack In Your Hospital Bag
A C-Section Birth
Should You Get A Doula?
I also shared some of my labor story, and hopefully it will empower everyone who listens in their own pregnancy and labor plan!

I had such a fun time recording this episode of Whimsy + Wellness! Essential oils were such a big part of my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. I hope this is (or will be) a helpful resource for you!
Hey, I'm Wynne!
Hi, friend! First, I truly am so giddy that you are here. I want you to know I believe in you and all the ways you are growing towards living a more intentional life. I genuinely hope you are encouraged from our time together here.
A little about me, I’m a type 7 on the enneagram, a total extrovert + people lover, entrepreneur, connector, storyteller, people gatherer, and passionate wife, mama + friend. I feel most alive when I’m exploring new places and surrounded by people I love. Give me a day in the outdoors disconnected from wifi, and I am a happy girl. I run on oat milk lattes, Jesus, gratitude journaling and kitchen dance parties with my four kids.
Welcome, come on in!
