We hope you have a chance to spend time with family and friends, get away from work a bit and welcome in the New Year!

It's been a busy and productive year for us in & out of the office and we're looking forward to taking a little breather, as we pivot a bit to welcome in the New Year.

May love and light fill your heart and home for a peaceful, and healthy 2019.

All the best,

The Warming Sock Treatment
socks
This long time naturopathic tried and true home remedy, will knock your socks off - or at least help you or your child knock an acute winter ailment right out of your system.

Although this may sound to some like a form of water torture, nothing could be further from the truth. It is a safe, simple, inexpensive, effective hydrotherapy technique that I’ve been using and recommending for decades.

My patients who try it quickly learn how effective it can be in helping relieve nasal or chest congestion, earaches, sinusitis, and colds or upper respiratory infections. It’s surprisingly pleasant to experience as well. And it works beautifully in conjunction with botanical medicine, homeopathic remedies or other medicines, both natural and conventional.

Recipes: Healthy Muffins
Creative Holiday Giving: Muffin of the Month Club - A Baker's Dozen
For full disclosure, you should know I am a excellent cook, I can look in the fridge & the cupboard & whip up a nutritious & appetizing meal for myself, my family & gatherings of friends & students --- but alas, I have been a notoriously terrible baker! I just never got the hang of it.
There were three things I wanted to accomplish with this project in addition to giving creative and appreciated holiday gift:

  • Number #1: I wanted to set a goal for myself, even a small one— of baking a delicious and appreciated batch of muffins each month.
  • Number #2: I wanted to move through what I knew would be the occasional and inevitable muffin flop and not get too deflated---I wanted to learn from my baking mistakes.
  • Number #3: I wanted to have confidence, that I could learn something new & put the product out in the world where they would reflect my positive intention & my new learned skills.

Setting goals, moving through disappointment, and having confidence are all unique parts of what I would call my mental game.
