About Marcelle
Hello! I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. I spend my days mothering my beloved son O, and evenings going to school – I’m a full-time student getting my masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I am passionate about the healing arts and have spent the last eight years practicing massage therapy, as well as studying aromatherapy, flower essences, and herbology. I consider myself a feminist, and I’m particularly passionate about women’s health and helping women make educated choices about childbirth. My husband and I practice Attachment Parenting (AP); we believe parenting is instinctual, gentle, and full of love. We co-sleep, breastfeed, babywear, and practice gentle discipline (eg: no spanking!). I love to be outdoors, in nature, hugging trees, getting sandy and salty and wet in the ocean. I love music, movies, art, reading, writing, and all manner of creative pursuits (just because I can’t sing in tune doesn’t mean I don’t sing!). I’m a Leo/Metal Rooster, my favorite color is blue, I ride with the windows down, and I am a cat person, if that matters to you.
About this Blog
This, my little corner of the internet, is a pretty eclectic collection of my musings. I’ll be writing a lot about my experiences with natural parenting, being a student of TCM, food (my food addictions, my struggles, and trying to be a healthy role-model), living simplistically (well, trying to), ghosts and/or anything creepily entertaining, all things hiking & nature-esque , my beginning forays into gardens and compost, and pretty much anything I find interesting, informative or funny!
