Providing Post Adoption Support from a Biblical Perspective for “Second Moms” in Adoptive & Blended Families



(--) Essential Oils and your Nervous system
Hello!
If your brain is the manager of your nervous system, and your spinal cord is like a messenger superhighway between your brain and your peripheral nerves, then roadblocks and traffic jams can clog things up.  

Even prior to last summer when my middle son began having seizures and then had brain surgery to remove a golf ball size tumor, we had been studying the brain in our homeschool and it is fascinating! But so complex.  Then we got more than a little intense when it became oh so personal and his brain was all of our focus.  I have a great deal of respect for the surgeons who understood how to remove that tumor safely, though we were warned of some dire outcomes that did not come to pass, praise God!

In learning more about essential oils I have found that the aroma reaches the brain very quickly, and whereas I used to think of diffusing as being the least effective method of use, then topical, and lastly ingestion in that order, I have learned to embrace diffusing (aromatic use) as the olfactory pathway is the quickest route to the brain! Surprise! So to keep our highway messenger traffic flowing my plan is diffuse, diffuse, diffuse essential oils.  
 
If you have already gotten an essential oil Starter Kit (a great value by the way!) you have already received two of the best essential oils to support your nervous system, lavender, and (my fave) frankincense.  

Each of these has historically been used effectively and extensively for multiple purposes.

Happy Oiling!

Dawn Baggett & Post Adoption Coaching

 

Hi there, I'm Dawn Baggett! 

As a mom in an adoptive family that includes the blending of both, biological and adopted children, I've been through it all—navigating attachment issues, trauma, special needs and chronic illness...with challenges & chaos that have both tested and refined my Christian faith.   

In addition to my own personal parenting experiences, my law degree from the University of Alabama, various certificates and courses on topics ranging from coaching to trauma to relationships, as well as my research & observations of the experiences of others have all brought invaluable insights into supporting adoptive moms like myself.  I found that patterns and dynamics that I struggled with were often the SAME ones that were repeated again and again in other homes of adoptive families like mine and within those of similar "second moms" like step-moms and kinship caregivers who are raising children and teens that have had a break (for whatever reason) from their first mom. 

I truly believe in the power of faith-driven coaching to support "second moms" navigating the unique challenges of raising children with these often-complex backgrounds. My mission is to stand with you, offering guidance and understanding when the rest of your world seems unsure how to help, or even multiplies the problems that you are working so hard to overcome for your child and your family. 

If you're ready to continue your journey with a desire to walk out your faith in your family and mom role in particular, I'm here to be in your corner. Let's connect and explore how we can put together a personal plan that serves you!

With love,
