Instagram can be an amazing place to turn to when you’re not feeling that great, but only if you're following the right people who will lift you up! Here are ten of our favorite Instagram accounts to follow for self care.
@doingwell Doing Well is the beautiful home of NYC integrative nutritionist Daphne Javitch. After facing her own health challenges, Doing Well was Daphne’s way of sharing what she had learned about using food and wellness to heal. Each caption is packed with tips and tricks that you can apply to your own life.

@loomhq LOOM is focused on health education for everyone, from periods to parenting. We are big fans of the movement they are building with their physical center in LA, classes, services and events. Co-founded by doula and educator Erica Chidi Cohen (above), LOOM isn't afraid to have the conversations no one else is having.
@avivaromm Dr. Aviva Romm is a Yale MD who takes a more holistic approach to health, and her feed is full of wellness and self care advice that can make a big difference in how you feel. We love that she focuses on natural and herbal remedies whenever possible - she's been dubbed "the modern medicine woman" because of her integrated approach to medicine.
@cleowade Cleo Wade is an author, activist and community builder, known for her books Heart Talk and Where To Begin. We love her feed because it's filled with her inspiring poetry and thoughts on love, friendship and life. She's not afraid to be vulnerable and we love her for that.
@letsmend Well, we couldn’t leave our own instagram out of this list! We don't encourage a lot of Instagram use during a breakup because it can so easily turn into a self destructive tool, but we do have a lot of saved stories and content on our feed that we hope will inspire you, comfort you and make you laugh.If you're going to be using Instagram, make sure it's a feed of inspiration (instead of one of dread!)
