Welcome Summer 2026
Hello, Beautiful People!
I hope this little blog finds you healthy and happy. Summer is officially just around the corner. I usually like to write on a Solstice, but this June I will be on vacation. June 15-29, in the Pacific Northwest. A little family mini-retreat and celebrating another year around the sun (59!!!). This means the office will be closed, and email and text availability will be limited.
If you need a follow-up consultation before then or after, get on your Practice Better account and set one up. I do have openings available.
Remember, your Practice Better is the best way of keeping in touch. There is a message center, the ability to upload forms, and a way to see when it's time to schedule your follow-up consultation.

Lately, everywhere I look there is a news report, scientific article, or social media attack on nature. As if the very thought of something natural is dirty, tainted or contaminated. I study Anthroposophical Medicine where the focus is on restoring natural states of health within our bodies by turning to nature - not away.
Natural Health
Practicing naturopathy is utilizing the best nature has to offer. The colors, sounds, textures and tastes that can and do stimulate healing responses. How can you incorporate this into your daily lives?
#1 - Experience Nature
Get out and experience your natural habitat, even if that means spending an hour in your own back yard. Don’t bring your technology - leave distractions behind.
Did you know that the Brown Thrasher can sing 2,000 song variations? Nature is diverse and wonderful. We should be a part of it not apart from it...
Welcome Spring 2019!
Beautiful Spring view from this past weekend. I was in Atlanta at the National TACA (The Autism Community in Action) conference. The hot topics were eliminating EMF's and using CBD to support Autism and other health issues.
As most of you know, I am an Autism Mom and when my son was born in 1993 very few healthcare practitioners were talking about Autism. It was as if there was a black hole of information and support. Even getting a diagnosis took years.
A fellow practitioner and conference buddy asked me if I had to give just 5 supporting tips for those working with Autism as a parent, teacher or practitioner, what would I suggest? Great question because over the years we tried many diets, modalities, supplements, testing, physical therapies, schools/educational practices, etc. Some just didn't help much, others were needle movers and we saw great improvement.
Note: Every person on the Autism spectrum varies greatly to what they may respond to and I am not saying this ...
