Women's Health:
Each woman comes to see me with her own story. Often she comes in fatigued and stressed. Whether it's from the fast-paced demands of raising children and/or working, she is often overwhelmed. Usually her children see me initially, because she wants them to find healing first. As we talk about her children, I sense that she has concerns and needs of her own. I hold out to her that she can benefit from support and TLC, too. Her concerns are often related to PMS and hormonal issues. These cause emotional challenges as she relates to those around her. As we work together, the whole family unit is strengthened.
Nutrition, herbal medicine, and homeopathy are the tools I use first to address hormone imbalance. I also support a woman's other systems, i.e. adrenal glands, liver, and thyroid, as these are a part of the delicate hormone dance. I prescribe hormonal treatment when necessary, and consider bio-identical hormones a part of my treatment plan for those who need them. Whether she is a teenager with irregular cycles or a woman entering menopause, she is given the thoughtful care that brings balance to her life.
Children's Health:Parents bring their children for a variety of reasons, but among the top three are behavioral issues, GI problems and headaches. These are also frequent reasons for children to miss school. When physical or emotional issues interfere with school performance and social relationships, parents search for answers. They often come to me when they are at their wit's end and at a loss as to what to do.
Parents don't often realize they need healing when a child is hurting. A child's distress can be difficult for everyone, as it upsets the balance of the whole family dynamic. As the root cause of illness is found and treated, both child and family reclaim health. When a child gets better, parent's worry less and relax into the healing process. They don't have to try to hold things together, anticipating the next illness or behavioral outburst. This reduces stress for the parent and brings hope and healing.
I love using homeopathy with children because its simple, natural and is powerfully effective for physical and emotional conditions. I begin by getting to know the child and his/her concerns and the special way they respond to what happens around them. In this way, I am able to give a remedy that best fits them. I also focus on healthy eating for the whole family, as well as vitamins and supplements when necessary.
