Levity and Brevity

Thoughts on wellness, kids, family, pop culture and whatever else winds through the mind of a Renaissance woman....

It's about time...

1/2/2019

 
Being an entrpreneur was never my original goal, and it has been a learning process to be sure.  Eleven years into practice I'm glad to wear this hat.
I take pride in the fact that I spend a LOT of time with a new person...90-120 minutes.  I need this time to really understand a person's state of health and make a plan of action.  I think folks appreciate it as well, especially given the time allotted in a conventional setting. 
For a long time I let fear stop me from charging a rate that reflects the time spent.  Instead I defaulted to my one hour visit fee.  I'm going to be brave and honor my time as of January 2019...see my services page for a streamlined fee schedule.  And thanks so much for engaging in a healing journey with me. 

A tale of three poxes...

8/1/2014

 
Picture
So... a good bit of June/July was devoted to nursing my family through chickenpox (first and second round).  This was great timing with school out, and we wanted the kids to go ahead and get it while young.  My four year old had it first, and to her it was really not a big deal at all.  With the help of homeopathic and herbal remedies she actually didn't find it itchy (wow).  Two weeks later things got a bit more uncomfortable when the seven year old followed by the 41 year old got the pox. I'm so thankful to plant medicines for seeing us through. From fever and itching to preventing scarring and shortening duration of the illness natural remedies made a HUGE difference!  ALL BETTER!

Happy Father's Day...

Here's a brief homage to my dad...
No, he may not have the healthiest diet...thanks for staying on that, Mom.
No, he won't try half the teas  or "witchy potions" I try to shove down him.
For the love of Pete...he will NOT try goat milk.
But...
My dad taught me some very important lessons early on about being WELL..
My dad has been an active man all my life; I'd go so far as to say adventurous.  He taught me how to tackle a challenge with an equal balance of confidence and humility. And he taught me to always do my best, regardless of the circumstances.  
And...
No one can tell a funny story like Papa Jim.
Here I am launching into a new challenge (literally launching the site) on Father's Day and I know no one will be prouder than my pop.
I love you.
