We Start with our Nervous System & the Rest of the Resources are Cherries on Top!
Nervous System regulation has a direct impact on we show up as our best selves affecting confidence, stress tolerance, relationships, cognition, emotional health, physical health and more.
Nervous system regulation and parenting are closely linked, given effective parenting influences and shapes the development of a child's nervous system.
In today’s society, Mothers are expected to do more than ever with little to no access to nervous system regulation tools making it near impossible to show up as our be selves and be effective parents.
So the question is….
How do you ever expect to show up as your best mom self and be an effective parent without resources that support nervous system regulation through motherhood?
Having access to nervous system regulation tools is the only way to guarantee you always show up as your best self, be an effective parent, and thrive in motherhood.
That’s exactly why GEM was created!
-

Regular Nervous System Care can lower your rish of chronic diseases like heart disease by up to 30% and improve immune function by 25%
A regulated nervous system is linked to a 20% improvement in cognitive functions.
Nervous System Regulation and Parenting are closely linked. You need regulated nervous system to be an effective parent and being an effective parent influences and shapes the development of a child's nervous system.

Reason’s Our Members love GEM
“I didn’t realize just how much I needed the connection with other moms until GEM. and the resources are a huge bonus. I am using them more than I thought.”
“I don’t have to spend all my time going down the rabbit holes researching what’s best for my children. I trust GEM’s research, plus they cite it so I can go down the rabbit hole if I want. But I’m glad I get some time back.”
My body feels so good with quick movement practices I can incorporate in my busy life. The meditations are truly gold too. My mind is finding peace and it feels good to be finding me again.
“I love being around other mothers and learning, growing, and expanding and picking and choosing what I want to implement in my family.”
“Connecting to other moms going through the exact same thing as me is gold”
“I like the evidence-based resources and the time I save. and meeting other moms in meaningful ways is so nice. I hate small talk and don’t have time for it with 2 kids.”
“I love that I can be raw and real and feel the support, even better I love that others have the same thoughts and hardships as me. My anxiety has lessoned since joining.”
“It’s been so long since I’ve had a new baby and I love all the up to date information in here for my next one and all the nontoxic products.”
“I feel like I found a place I belong with other moms who just want the best for their kids, work on themselves and grow, and have the time to enjoy being a mom.”

"It takes up so much time and energy for me to vett new products (our whole family can't do any toxins) which is exhausting. So the fact that I can go to Lauren's Guide and look up what has already been vetted and has clean ingredients is such a relief to me."
GEM Member

"I have a high stress life and in the season that I'm in, I'm actively working towards lowering that stress in every way that can. And so for me, who doesn't have a lot of time and who has the desire to calm the F-down, the resources are amazing. They just simplify everything."
