Warmer days means the introduction of Porch Pilates with the collapsible reformer (which I HIGHLY recommend to my hypermobility girlies)…and a few special visitors ❤️

Transplanting the squash and beans into bigger pots, processing burdock and violet tincture from what my apprentices and I harvested Friday and caretaking the plethora of trees that are waiting to go into the new orchard area we are building.

Still runnin’ a little hippie homestead, even if it is one that is hopelessly dependent on a microwave 😌

We have a board of bulletins!

Know of a fab health-oriented business or a not-for-profit group doing good work in the community that could use some support? Stick it on the board at your next visit! We love lifting those who are lifting others ❤️

We are proud of feature of Peripheral Medicine, , .fitness, , Trumble PT in Ithaca and Stephanie Bostic RD in Binghamton, and that does absolutely reflect the opinions of this practice ❤️

Add your card or flyer next 😎

Thank you to for teaching me how to make medicines and to our biller Andrea at Circles of Sage for gifting me all these berries!

Some notes:

These berries were smooshy and mucho juicy so I added more vodka than glycerine to make sure there was enough alcohol to preserve the medicine.

Berries and seed pods should always be blended, not cut up or jsut thrown w***y nilly into a jar. If you are using dried herbs, soak them in your alcohol for a couple days to soften them, then blend. You just need to cover the top of the herbs in the blender with alcohol, and then you can top off in the jars as needed.

Straining elderberry syrup is STICKY and GREEN. Be prepared.

Enjoy!

The Cortland office has really been coming together and it’s become a little cozy refuge for both my practice and my mental health when I need a little getaway 🙏

This gets screwed up allll the time by providers and patients and it’s important to know the difference! They are diagnosed differently, feel different, are treated differently and you can have 1 or both going on: they do not exclude one another and if you have 1 you don’t automatically have the other!!

This is jsut pi***ng me off extra today.

You don’t win healthcare when you stop taking insurance. Charging hundreds or thousands of dollars instead of taking insurance isn’t a solution. You will end up with a very nice practice full of very nice rich people.

Long live the class war.
