Laura’s Mother’s Day Tips for New Moms

We have exciting news at The Healing Rose — just in time for spring, founders Laura and Zach have added to their family! Laura welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world on March 24, bringing home a new brother for the twins. This makes Mother’s Day 2025 even more special, of course, as we take time to celebrate Laura along with new moms everywhere.

Self-care is so important in the months after giving birth, and for new mothers especially it can be incredibly rewarding to prioritize moments of self care. Because taking care of others often leaves so little time to take care of yourself, for Mother’s Day, Laura wanted to share a few of her tips for new moms and favorite Healing Rose products that are a must-add to any mother’s wellness routine. 

Tips for New Moms

Your new baby is getting most of your attention right now — as they should! That means time is now your most precious resource, so when it’s not your turn to watch the baby, take some for yourself. Catch up with friends, and keep them close during this important transitional period in your life. Take an hour for a phone call, get out for a coffee, movie, or shopping trip with your group, and treat yourself to connecting with your people.

We know you’ve just read all the books on what to expect, but make sure you still make room for leisure reading. Keep up with your favorite authors and series, because soon enough you’ll be reading The Magic Treehouse aloud at bedtime.

Introduce your children to nature as young as possible. Accessible woodland paths are perfect for baby strollers and joggers, and getting out for a relaxing walk helps your body recover after carrying another life for nine months. Get moving, energize yourself, and let your infant soak in the sounds and colors of the natural environment. 

Maybe most importantly? Tuck into your favorite meals. Sushi, tacos, delicious mocktails on the cusp of spritz season, or even just take-out at your favorite restaurant — you deserve to put yourself first for a day. Food is self-care, and you deserve it.

Celebrating motherhood is about celebrating balance, honoring the power of life, and recognizing the moments that make parenting, and family, so meaningful.

Moms’ Favorite Products from The Healing Rose 

Pregnancy changed your body, and we know the postpartum period is often a time of even more changes. Moments like this require conscious self care, and we are proud that moms everywhere find relief and support in products from The Healing Rose. These are a few of Laura’s favorites.

After giving birth this spring, Laura turned to our new Vanilla Mint Salve, balanced with a custom blend of CBD, CBG and CBC to relieve sore lower back muscles. It’s perfect for supporting the adjustment to motherhood, so pick up a jar for yourself (or a mother in your life) at our online shop or your local dispensary.

Our Lavender CBD Massage & Body Oil has also been a go-to in Laura’s rotation this spring, and can be used to massage sore arms and shoulders, moisturize dry skin, and relax before bedtime. Restorative sleep is more important than ever, and the combination of organic minor cannabinoids and refreshing botanicals can work wonders in the early months of motherhood.
