At a naturopathic conference at the end of April one of my favorite speakers presented on women’s health. Dr. Jonathan Wright is a medical doctor practicing functional medicine (aka naturopathic medicine). He is a very entertaining man, and always full of incredibly relevant data and insights. He spent several minutes talking about how women can [...]
Chapter One – The Back Story A year ago I joined a women’s dream circle. There are 6 of us, all healers. We meet once a month to witness and process each others’ dreams. We call it “process” and not “analyze” because our approach allows us as the collective dreamer to integrate the experience of [...]
I moved. Blah. No one likes moving. Even if the new spot is your beautiful, rural forever home, (aka an awesome move!) it’s still a lot. A lot of coordinating, a lot of phone calls, a lot of experimentation, and a lot of schlepping. As I was moving I kept drawing parallels to the complicated, [...]
I’ve been out of town a lot lately. Once to Vancouver to become a God Mumma. A second time to Vancouver for a conference. Once to Seattle for a workshop slash many fun good times, and once to Toronto for my 10 year naturopathic class reunion. (Also many fun good times.) In addition to all this [...]
Lets talk about the word, “deserve.” Particularly around the topic of food. I find it interesting, the deserving of food. Especially food that doesn’t make us feel good. This topic has been rattling around in my brain thingy for a few weeks. To me, “I deserve,” is a funny thing to say about food. I mean [...]
Isn’t this picture cool? I took it the other day and I just love it. I adore how the shadows of the beams from the fence kept the snow on the ground. As soon as I saw this on my walk with the dawgy I had a whirl wind of words come through me. Thank golly [...]
May this article be a healing article. May it reduce pain and suffering. May it bring more love, joy, and health into the world. It was clinic moving day. I was at the new clinic alone getting the moving boxes I’d stored there, before meeting the moving crew at the old clinic. It was a [...]
I went salsa dancing last week for the first time in several weeks. It was over two months, which in the span of my 10- year salsa dancing stint is a pretty long time. Even over the course of my life as a dancer (I started at age 3 or 4) 2 months is a [...]
This time of year always sparks nostalgia for me. And maybe for you too. Some questions I tend to ask myself (and you can ask yourself) include: What went well this year? What sucked? What seemed bad but became a sparkly gift in the end? What would I do differently if I could? If I [...]
You know those moments in life when you think to yourself, “Gosh! Everything is going so smoothly right now!” I am not in one of those moments nor have I been for several months. This is why I haven’t been consistently posting new content and sending out newsletters. It’s not because I’m not thinking about [...]
