Ladies! Hello and Welcome to Blossoming Mommy and Baby! Allow me to introduce myself (like you already don’t know 🙂 ). My name is Jennifer Blossom. I was born and raised in a small fishing town just south of Anchorage Alaska. After graduating high school, I left to complete my undergraduate degree from Boise State University, where I received my Bachelors’ in Health Science with a minor in Psychology. From there, I went on to grad school and completed my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Creighton University.
During this time I STRUGGLED with extreme stress, anxiety, panic, fear, and poor eating/exercise habits. From laying on the floor due to thoughts of having a heart attack (which really were anxiety attacks), to nearly passing out while taking tests (due to stress), I knew something had to change. Ladies, this was just the beginning of my story.
It was during this time that I also found myself struggling with extreme eating and exercise habits. From exercise anorexia to binge eating disorder, I most definitely went through a season in my life of struggles and complete overwhelm.
Ironically, it was during this time, the time of my DARKEST and LOWEST moments, that Blossoming Mommy and Baby was born. I needed healing. I needed a safe place to document my journey. My health changes. My life story.
