Healing is a process that often involves process over progress.

In the clinical mental health world, the research is clear that attachment and connection buffer the experience of a traumatic event and help in the healing process. SLW takes this research to heart when working with patients because the truth in this research applies to the medical world, not just the mental health world. We live in a world that wants to separate the mind, body, and soul-- but good medicine has to see the person holistically.

“Before you examine the body of a patient,
Be patient to learn his story.
For once you learn his story,
You will also come to know
His body.”

New protocol for sale on the website. Each of our protocols is complimentary as part of your membership to SLW. We have added two new ways to become members recently. One way is to be a member of our online community. Our online community is a resource for individuals interested in a self-guided process toward understanding their whole health and wellness story through interactions with evidence-based material, protocols, courses, and a like-minded health community.
The online community is educationally-based. “In the Notes” will be live or recorded weekly tackling a particular health topic, and group coaching sessions will be monthly with limited space per session. The goal is to help you learn to discern your own health story and heal with the support of courses, coaching, and community.
I lead it along with my team of Functional Nutritionists. It is designed to give you a holistic, integrative, mind, body, and soul perspective on your health. It includes Q&A, group coaching, and will feature guest experts in fields like nutrition, soul wellness, and exercise/movement, to name a few. Over time SLW will be moving more and more towards solely educating in that manner. .duncan and I have a desire for community. We want to invest in those ready to invest back into themselves and their health. Visit the link in the bio for more information.

There are thousands of things that could be purchased to help support balance within the nervous system and immune system. Being stuck in fight or flight (sympathetic dominance) is so harmful to our bodies but is so hard to avoid in our modern society that glorifies hustle and productivity. Constantly being bombarded with alerts and notifications can feel like a weight that is constantly growing on our shoulders every day we wake up.
⠀
One well- researched God-given way that can help us balance and even heal our overly triggered nervous systems is forest bathing. In the research, this term means to quite simply be in the forest for 2+ hours with no objective other than to be, to listen, to touch, taste, and smell the natural world. This sounds too simple to be that effective but if you contrast it with our normal insulated and hurried days, then you can see how impactful a few hours may be to our healing. One study even showed that a single forest bathing session of 2-3 hours could increase one component of our immune system that fights cancer and viruses by 50% and that it stays elevated for a full month afterward! That is miraculous and free.
⠀
Now for the hard part. How will you find or make time to get in and among the trees more frequently? Can you commit to once a week or once a month having some extended forest time? Do you need to start by finding some good options near you?  Calming the body and mind and strengthening the immune system is worth the effort. And for me, it also helps reconnect me with the God I love that created so much beauty in the world. How does nature affect how you feel?
