I never imagined this place could mean as much to me as it does now. I met Oli here in 2017, spent countless summers here with my sister Ferchi 🧜🏼‍♀️, and somehow we both ended up conceiving our babies in Formentera during the same week in summer 2022 (clearly there’s something in the ley lines 💫). And there is not a day spent on this island, that I don’t feel the joy of those memories spent with @ali.giri and the ache of missing him.

A little bit of life lately: London, Looni, river life, homegrown, a homemade loaf, pickled eggs 🪺 🌿

Roma! ????️???? The Calderone’s do 50 - part 2!

For anyone in England who has experienced the heartbreak of losing a baby before 24 weeks, the government has introduced a new baby loss certificate. This gesture may not resonate with everyone, but having gone through the loss of multiple pregnancies myself, I wanted to share it. I know this recognition would have brought me comfort, and it marks a meaningful step forward for women’s health. I may still seek this for myself and encourage you to share it with anyone in your life who might find it healing or helpful. Pregnancy loss is a deeply painful thing to experience and often leaves people with a lot of trauma, so anything that can be done to help acknowledge the magnitude of this experience feels extremely positive.Link in stories ????

What was life before baby Silver ???????? Mrs @halliebonnar

It is only now that I am 15 months into my tender journey with breastfeeding that I can see this colorful journey actually began long before my body even started the magnificent biological process to produce milk. It began with my longing to become a mother, which for me was in fact a very long and painful journey as I lost multiple pregnancies. However, I believe this experience not only charged me with resilience and the spirit to keep going, but it also enriched me with a deep gratitude that in many respects has allowed me to savor every moment of my journey as a mother. I will caveat all of this by saying that being able to breastfeed one’s child is a privilege and one that many mothers do not have the luxury to do.Before having a child, I never knew how I was going to feel about breastfeeding. I had friends that didn’t breastfeed for longer than a few weeks and others who were close to 5 years. I was always fond of my breasts and didn’t love the idea of them physically changing, but I always had an inkling that my appetite for coziness might supersede my vanity.

Cycle Harmony: A Journey of Kundalini & Connection ????????️Looni co-hosted a magical event with @tonyapapanikolove of @rainbomushrooms at @wsanyc ⭕️ Chelsea led us through a sharing circle focussed on menstrual health and we discussed topics such as how our first menses experience has impacted the relationship we have with our periods / cycles today and how taking a more holistic approach to our menstrual health has resulted in more relief. ????????‍♀️Tonya taught a kundalini class that focussed on stress management, burnout and nervous system support as well as a Kirtan Kriya a 12 minute mediation that changes the brain, aura, and has been scientifically proven to have anti-aging effects on the brain, body and genes. This event was such a beautiful reminder not only of the healing that can take place when women come together, but also how we should all be leaning on community as a way to manage our hormonal health. The power of authentic connection is like no other.Thank you @isabelleoooo for making it all happen ✨

Silver’s bringing all the colour of July ????

Kamwo is a herbalists heaven. ???? This is my favorite place for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formulas. They concoct the formulas right in front of your eyes…which is a scensory explosion, not just visually, but also because of all the earthty aromas that you get to inhale as they do it.

When we birthed @my.looni I always envisaged a world where we could collaborate and be a part of projects that brought people back to nature, back to themselves and into a place where they were more receptive to body literacy. Thanks to @ves.corp we got to do just this and with such an inspiring group of women to boot. ????????
