Welcome To My Village

I am Carlie Dusome, owner and creator of Mama’s Earth

I created this platform to share all of my ideas and thoughts with as many of you as possible. I am confident that we can improve our health and wellbeing through simple overlooked changes in our homes and our lives.

About Me

I am a stay at home mother, an Internationally Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and Personal Trainer. I am naturally drawn to focusing on healthier, more natural alternatives for our physical wellness, mental wellness, and overall lives.

I have been focusing on natural health for over 10 years through my career in nutrition and exercise. This passion for health led me to seeking more natural alternatives in other aspects of my life when I became a mother, that ultimately effect my family’s health and wellbeing.

When I first became a new mom I found myself looking for answers as to why everything my heart and instincts were telling me to do as a mother went against everything our culture tells us - this led me to finding many, many other parents who felt the same way I do. This was an invitation to go back to our roots, allowing ourselves to parent according to our hearts, tuning out the noise from todays society. 

My Inspiration

I was inspired to start this community when I first became a mom - searching for the healthiest and safest products, cleaning supplies, food, and home products when my baby came along. From hours and hours of research I was shocked to find that many things in our homes and products I thought were healthy and safe, were actually not healthy at all, but rather quite toxic. 

I spent a lot of time researching and found healthier alternatives for everything from home products, furniture, natural cleaners, body care, baby products, baby clothing, to the food I prepare and put on the table for my family. I am sharing my ideas, thoughts, and realizations to help you create a healthier home and life for you and your family.

Attachment Parenting In a Dysfunctional Society

I found that new parents are bombarded with unhelpful, outdated and unhealthy advice encouraging a culture that praises early separation, dysfunctional communication, and fear. A culture that does not support biologically rooted needs and the true physical and mental wellness of the baby-mother-father relationship. I’ve created a safe space for you to learn, and trust your instincts to make strong decisions that benefit your family naturally, despite a dysfunctional loud culture.

My Personal Story

My entire world and my perspective all completely changed when I had my daughter, in the most enlightening way you can possibly imagine. They say that giving birth changes a person and becoming a mother changes your reality. I expected that to happen, but not as extreme and life changing as it actually did once I gave birth and started walking through new motherhood.

It’s not as though I became a completely new person, but rather layers of who I wasn’t actually fell off and I became more aware of who I truly am. It is almost like birthing a baby is also the birth of the mother and your reality changes in a way that is difficult to explain in words. A higher level of consciousness.

I trace this partly back to our biological instincts as humans. We are naturally wired to protect and care for our babies as our number one priority. These instincts are strongly rooted and they affect our physical, psychological, and spiritual makeup.

They were there all along, but they have the opportunity to come to the surface very clearly once you’ve given birth to your child. All of these natural biological survival instincts affect how we live, who we communicate with, and everything we say and do - when our littles are born, these instincts may overpower any unhealthy habits we once carried. In my case, it allowed me to truly set boundaries, understand our cultures conditioning, let go of/ realize and truly work through unhealthy habits and thought patterns I had been carrying in order to truly show up for my daughter. This is what I mean by the birth of a healthy mother.

I do not believe I would have experienced such a transformative awakening and higher level of consciousness becoming a mother if I wasn’t in the exact space where I was when I became a mother. In other words, if I would not have taken the steps to start healing a hurting soul and dysfunctional thought pattern years before I had given birth I do not believe I would have experienced the same psychological transformation after giving birth - to me this shows the importance of self healing before raising children in the healthiest environment possible.

That’s not to say I am completely healed or perfect, but rather I have experienced self awareness, self healing and transformative growth long before I gave birth to my daughter, allowing me to think and live and communicate in healthier and more clear ways. I am continuing to learn and heal every day while allowing myself to be imperfect while I learn new ways of being.

I am growing, learning and allowing myself to become mentally more aware each and every day. Healing is a journey and I acknowledge mine as one I can share to enlighten others that they have the ability to do the same, for themselves and their families.

- Love, Carlie
