Nikki is a 2-time HG mom from Pennsylvania with a story to tell! Nikki fought so hard during her pregnancies and was a true advocate for herself and her motherly intuition. Nikki turned down medications like Zofran due to the negative side effects she experienced and advocated for herself to receive a PICC Line! Nikki utilized the home-grown cannabis plant for durations of her pregnancies but had to refrain due to hospital 'drug' testing, CPS fear and major plant medicine stigma. Nikki describes her experience with social workers, high-risk obstetricians who do not believe her and are not educated about her condition, and how she navigated using the plant with a partner who was not supportive at first. Nikki's story is incredible as she has gone on to help so many HG mom's since her traumatizing experience and is a loving friend I direct HG mom's to in the area.

TW: Pregnancy Loss-- Dess (@rosewaterdaydreams) has endured multiple HG pregnancies and shares her story of survival, self-advocacy and following her intuition. Dess is a fellow TikTok HG plant medicine advocate and one of the first's I met on the app. She helps momma's to not feel so alone, is passionate about change in HG care, and believes in natural medicines- cannabis being on of many! Dess is in school to become a doula and the experience she brings with her will be such an asset to some one day!

This HG mom from Vancouver endured HG in the dark. When her intuition said to use cannabis to survive, she listened! Towards the end of her pregnancy, she found my social media discussing HG and realized that was what was taking place within her pregnancy. This mom previously struggled with anorexia prior to pregnancy and found herself facing ARFID postpartum as a result of HG and the PTSD that comes with it. She describes her hope with magic mushrooms and her journey of breastfeeding and recovery from HG!
