What Holistic Health Really Means And Why Every Mom Should Care
Supporting you with knowledge, compassion, and expert care
As women—especially those of us who are pregnant, postpartum, or juggling motherhood—it's easy to feel pulled in a hundred directions. We're expected to keep our bodies healthy, our minds sharp, and our spirits strong, often with little time to breathe.
That’s where holistic health comes in.
At The Necessary Nurse, we believe that true wellness isn’t just about checking off a doctor’s visit or grabbing a multivitamin. It’s about supporting the whole you—your mind, your body, and your spirit—because all of these parts matter equally in your journey to full health.
So, What Is Holistic Health?
Holistic health is a whole-person approach to wellness. It means caring for your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, not just treating symptoms when something feels off.
Unlike traditional models that treat parts of the body in isolation, holistic health recognizes that everything is connected. When your mind is overwhelmed, your body feels it. When your body is stressed, your spirit struggles. And when your spirit is low, it’s harder to show up for your family, your job, or even yourself.
Holistic health says: let’s take care of all of you.
Mind: Managing Mental + Emotional Wellness
For many moms and moms-to-be, mental health can take a back seat. But it's essential. Whether it’s prenatal anxiety, postpartum mood swings, or simply the day-to-day stress of motherhood, your mind deserves care too.
Practices like therapy, journaling, mindfulness, and boundary-setting can make a huge difference. Even something as simple as 10 minutes of deep breathing or a walk outside can help reset your nervous system (Harvard Health, 2024).
At The Necessary Nurse, we don’t just hand you a checklist—we provide emotional and educational support to help you understand what’s happening and how to manage it. You’re never alone in this journey.
Body: Caring for the One Body You’ve Got
Your body does amazing things. It grows life. It recovers. It nourishes others. But it also needs time, space, and support to stay well.
Holistic physical health is about more than just “bouncing back.” It’s about fueling your body with nutrients, healing after birth, staying active in ways that feel good (not punishing), and learning to listen when your body says, “I need rest.”
Through our personalized care plans, we help moms and pregnant women navigate everything from:
Pregnancy nutrition and discomfort
Postpartum recovery (hello, pelvic floor!)
Hormone balance
Energy and sleep support
All without judgment. All with care.
Spirit: Tapping Into Faith, Purpose, and Peace
We don’t always talk about spiritual health in medicine—but we should. Feeling grounded, connected, and hopeful can be just as healing as a supplement or a therapy session.
Whether you find strength through prayer, meditation, nature, or quiet reflection, spiritual wellness helps you feel centered and purposeful—even when life feels chaotic.
At The Necessary Nurse, we honor this part of you too. We’re not here to push one belief, but to support whatever brings you peace. Because when you’re emotionally and spiritually steady, you’re better equipped to care for yourself and others.
