Welcome to the Blog
I hope the posts and videos on this blog stimulate you to think differently about your health. I'm sharing from the perspective of my training as a homeopath and my experience practicing meditation and somatic healing for over twenty years.
There are hundreds of posts, some from as far back as 2012. I invite you to search for whatever interests you and contact me if you have questions about anything I've written.

Help your kids ground and settle with breath work
When kids are hyper, wild or misbehaved in any way, it's almost always the case that their breath will be shallow.
Homeopathy supports children's developmental stages
“That mine!” - followed by a tantrum. Well, that’s just terrible two’s.
The 20 minutes today to be fully present with your child
How often to do you put away your phone and other distractions and be fully present with your child?
When one family member heals the benefits cascade through the household
When someone in the family makes a big shift in his/her health, the benefits help everyone else too. Poor health has a dragging-like quality and when it lifts, there is more space to connect and to thrive.
Emotional healing has no finite end point
Know what it feels like to resolve an emotional issue and then have it resurface? “Hey wait, I dealt with that. How can this be happening again?”
Regressions on the healing path are multi-faceted
Have you ever been frustrated with getting better and then slipping back again?
Your being has a threshold for avoidance, then your body will start screaming at you
You may have been living without a lot of space for inner processing for a long time but that doesn’t mean it’s working for you.
When the body revolts, will you hear its cry?
Sadly, most people don’t correlate skin eruptions and mysterious pains with their emotional process, or lack there of. They mistakenly perceive the symptoms in their body as random and unrelated.
Homeopathy supports re-wiring the patterns of childhood trauma responses
Healing childhood trauma is a multi-faceted journey. It can be approached in many ways. Therapy is most common.
The survival mechanism that served us as children inhibits health as adults
Everybody adapted to survive his/her childhood. It sounds extreme but it’s true. There are no perfect parents and everyone has some degree of relational trauma, even in happy, well-adjusted families.
Stimulating the body to heal, is not the same as the body doing it by itself
People often think that treating naturally means letting the body heal itself. There are situations where the body can heal itself and any form of treatment won’t make much difference.
Stimulate your body, don’t suppress it
So many of the medicines that are readily available are suppressive in nature. Analgesics for headaches, anti-inflammatories for joint pain, laxatives for constipation.
Feel it, so you can heal it
I believe the way through is through. What does that mean? To me it means that radical healing requires us to feel the emotions that we have repressed.
Your tissues hold the story of your life
Sometimes we need to do some inner archaeological digging to make sense of what’s happening in the present. Why is that reaction or sensation so intense when nothing significant seems to be causing it now?
Uncover the story
When we have any symptoms in our bodies, we go to doctors to ‘see what is wrong’, which is a logical first step. We should make use of all the medical knowledge and screening that’s available to us.
You know your symptoms aren’t really what’s wrong, right?
Most of us think our symptoms are our problem. If we have a headache, it’s that headache that we want to get rid of.
Homeopathy can support the creation of healthy boundaries
People with healthy boundaries know their limits. They know when and how to say, “No”. They know when to rest, when to exercise and how much to work.
We don’t know our boundaries until we meet them
People have all kinds of ideas about what they will and won’t do but often those personal rules get broken?
When you Surender and Listen
Most of us like to know what’s happening. We may feel reassured by having a plan.
Look within to find the way out
Once you have gathered the external medical support you require, turn your attention back within to chart your course of healing.
