The quiet of this season has shown me the importance of slowing down and refueling. Make sure to prioritize your own cup and let it overflow.

Warm soups, warm souls, and open hearts 💞

If you want to create peace in the world, first strive to make your own life peaceful.

Heartburn, also known as GERD, cause a chronic cough, nausea, belching, and chest pain. Often, it shows up after a heavy or spicy meal and when lying down. The cause is often misunderstood and the treatment approach can be individualized.

Over time, the acidic irritation can lead to cellular changes that are precancerous, known as Barrett’s esophagitis. Treating the root cause can eliminate the chronic dependence on omeprazole, known as Prilosec, and prevent worsening damage.

Common root cause support includes: Digestive enzymes or herbal bitters (Gentian) with meals to stimulate digestion and marshmallow root or slippery elm for soothing the esophagus and symptom management.

Sending love to you all during this season. 💞
This time of year can be bittersweet as we cherish the loved ones around us while mourn the ones we miss. Be gentle with yourself and others during the coming weeks. The days will get brighter, and hope is always possible.

The holiday season may bring joy, but also depression.

Here’s a poem by former Colorado Poet Laureate Andrea Gibson (August 13, 1975 – July 14, 2025).

Gibson's poetry focuses on gender norms, politics, social justice, and LGBTQ topics. In 2008, Gibson published their first book, Pole Dancing To Gospel Hymns. This was followed by The Madness Vase and Pansy, all published by Write Bloody Publishing.

Gibson also wrote and published Take Me With You, a book of quotes and phrases. Her poetry collection "You Better Be Lightning" was published by Button Poetry in 2021.

Instead Of Depression

try calling it hibernation.
Imagine the darkness is a cave
in which you will be nurtured
by doing absolutely nothing.
Hibernating animals don’t even dream.
It’s okay if you can’t imagine
Spring. Sleep through the alarm
of the world. Name your hopelessness
a quiet hollow, a place you go
to heal, a den you dug,
Sweetheart, instead
of a grave.

--Andrea Gibson

Our perception creates our reality. Our physiology responds to our perception as well as to our environment. Having awareness of this can help reframe our experience of it. Your perception is changeable!
Be curious, gain support (therapy/journaling), and challenge your internal narratives. Wellness is possible!!

🌲 🌹 I have loved getting to know the great state of Washington over the past year, and now we are setting some roots in Olympia! I will begin seeing Washington patients virtually and hope to expand to in-person visits within the next couple of months. Insurance credentialing is in process!

🌵 🌞 I will continue working in Arizona both remotely 3-days per week, as well as in-person at the same Phoenix location every 6-10 weeks. The sun and the people will keep bringing me back!

🏔️ 🍄‍🟫 The forest, water, and mountains have supported a calmness and trust that I have been seeking. I am grateful for this next opportunity to grow with another community while continuing to nurture those of you I’ve had the privilege of working with in Arizona.

🌸 Tired of feeling dismissed about your PCOS symptoms? Weight gain? Irregular periods? Acne? Hair loss? Irritability? Let’s get to the root causes—together.

🌱 Root causes of high androgens can include estrogen dominance, luteal phase defect (low progesterone), insulin resistance, and even a history of trauma.

💫 Healing unresolved grief, repressed anger, and old resentment with the use of homeopathy, herbs, acupuncture, and gemstones, along with a counselor referral, can shift PCOS when emotional trauma underlies the tension in the tissues of the pelvis or more globally within the hormonal system.

✌️ The body works well when under peace. As one of my mentors once said, “the body reaps the tears that the eyes don’t sow.”


🩺 Please reach out via the website link in my Bio or text the office at 602-551-7055 if you’d like to schedule a consultation to discuss your unique concerns. Your body can regain balance, naturally.
