How sleepless nights changed more than my sleep!

I have always wished I were a more avid reader. I learned to read at a very young age, but I was never one of those people who read and read. My mom used to read a TON of books, and she had an attic full of Agatha Christie books.

For years, it felt like I only read on vacation. When my children were finally off at college, I started taking a closer look at that part of myself. But even then, I often wouldn’t finish the book or couldn’t find the time.

Then I went through a stretch where I was having trouble falling asleep at night — or I’d wake up and not be able to fall back asleep. Reading became a solution to another problem.

I got a Kindle Unlimited account so I could read at night without disturbing my husband or the dog. The black background and white letters helped, and reading novels or memoirs would calm my mind and help me drift off to sleep.

Then I added another layer: if I get a digital book from the library, I have 3 weeks to finish it, and that keeps me reading.

I also finally found a way to finish nonfiction books — I listen to them while driving.

So in this unexpected way, I became a consistent reader.

My sleep problem led me into reading, and reading became a way to soothe the sleeplessness in the moment. Then homeopathy helped heal the deeper sleep issue — and that experience showed me something I now carry into my work: sometimes what feels like poison in our lives can become part of the medicine.

That’s one of the reasons I care so deeply about helping women who are struggling with hot flashes, night sweats, sleep deprivation, and emotional dysfunction. The right support can change more than you think.

Perimenopause can make HRT sound very tempting.
I get it.

When you’re dealing with hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep disruption, relief starts to sound very good.

But if you’re confused by the messaging around HRT, you’re not alone. It has changed from promoting it, to suggesting women avoid HRT, to more recently, back tracking and recommending it again.

Just today, I was reading a Washington Post Well+Being column by oncologist Mikkael Sekeres about exercise and cancer risk. One part especially caught my attention: regular exercise has been linked with lower estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, which may help reduce the risk of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

That matters because this is exactly where so many women feel stuck.

You want relief. Of course you do.

But you also want to feel good about the path you choose. You don’t want the increased estrogen in your body to cause problems down the road.

That is one reason I so often encourage women to look at homeopathy.

Rather than suppressing symptoms and hoping for the best, homeopathy works with the body and can help support a smoother, more natural transition through perimenopause and menopause.

You do not have to just “push through” this.

And you do not have to assume your only option is to mask symptoms.

You never really know what else is going to get better when you go to a homeopath.

And that’s one of the most interesting things about homeopathy.

A real homeopathic intake is unlike anything you’ve probably experienced at your doctor’s office. It’s part conversation, part investigation, and part something entirely its own.

Because in homeopathy, I can’t just look at your diagnosis.

I have to look at you.

Your mental symptoms.
Your emotional symptoms.
Your physical symptoms.
Your sleep.
Your food preferences.
Your fears.
Even your dreams.

That’s because diagnosis does not equal prescription in homeopathy.

We need the whole picture in order to find the remedy.

I had a client in her early 50s come in for a whole list of aches and pains she couldn’t seem to get on top of. She hadn’t even mentioned peri-menopause symptoms before the appointment. But during the intake, because of her age, I asked.

Sure enough, she had been dealing with hot flashes and night sweats off and on for years.

Yes, I helped the aches and pains.

But the bonus was that the hot flashes and night sweats disappeared quickly too.

That’s the kind of thing that can happen when you treat the person instead of chasing symptoms one by one.

Now, sometimes peri-menopause symptoms need to be addressed first, and sometimes they don’t. In her case, it was clear they were the top layer, so that’s where we started.

Then came the aches and pains.

That’s how homeopathy works. We pay attention to layers, priorities, and the order the body wants to heal.

And the reason behind those aches and pains?

It’s probably not what you think.

Why I Care So Deeply About Helping Women in Perimenopause

I have always been deeply sensitive to other people’s pain and suffering.

For a long time, that sensitivity was hard to bear. When I heard about terrible things happening to people, I would physically and emotionally feel it so strongly that I would tilt my head down, cover my eyes, and say, “I can’t hear about this.”

Then, while I was looking for a new volunteer opportunity, someone gave me one simple piece of advice: look for something that, if people couldn’t get help with it, would feel intolerable to you.

That was such an ah-ha moment for me. It gave me clarity. It helped me see that what mattered most was not avoiding the stories of suffering, but doing something about it.

That clarity shaped everything I focus on in my practice. It’s what drives my work with perimenopause, PTSD, and autism. And it has given me the gift of knowing I am helping people instead of just carrying the pain of what they are going through.

Which has led me to care so deeply about helping women who suffer needlessly with symptoms of perimenopause get freedom from feeling dismissed by their doctors and others in their lives — and real relief through natural approaches that don’t just manage symptoms, but help put them in the past.

So, if you’re a woman in her late 30s or older who has hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbance, and is tired of being dismissed by doctors and others in her life, I want you to know that you’re not alone.

If you see yourself in this, message me. Tell me your worst symptoms. I would love to support you.

You Don’t Have To Just Wait And Hope Shingles Won’t Happen!

“I guess shingles is just part of getting older,” my client thought.

She began to wonder if there were any good options.

But when she came to see me, I shared with her that there was a deeper reason shingles seemed far more common than it was for our parents and grandparents.

It had became clear to me that fewer natural exposures to chickenpox may help explain why it feels more common now.

That’s when I realized that it really was possible to get natural support around shingles concerns in a way that felt right for me and right for me to offer to my clients.

And I did. I’ve been able to offer a homeopathic approach for people who want natural support around shingles concerns.

One woman I worked with had gotten shingles four out of five years around Christmas, and she was not looking forward to yet another outbreak. She didn’t have another.

There are reasons shingles seems more common now than it used to, and you don’t have to just wait and hope it won’t happen to you.

I offer a homeopathic approach for people who want natural support around shingles concerns.

There is support available that may feel more aligned for you.

One of my most unexpected childhood jobs involved 20,000 chickens 🐔🐔

You may not know this about me, but when I was in 3rd to 6th grade, my sister and I helped gather eggs 🥚🥚🥚 from 20,000 chickens on my family’s farm in South Dakota — and we sang 🎵 songs while we worked.

Ask me your funniest or most random question about life on a chicken farm.

Done Waiting for This to Just Go Away?

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment... It’s not coming.

At some point, you have to decide you're just done.

That you're ready for this to be over. Ready for a change.

And that nothing is going to stop you from getting relief from hot flashes, night sweats, sleepless nights, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with them.

I’ve got a few spots open this week for Holistic Health Huddle (H3) sessions.

After that, availability will be less.

👉 Drop an “I’m really tired of this” (or just send me a DM)
if you’re ready to explore what real relief could look like for you.

In a business most people don’t understand, this felt like a gift

Running my homeopathy business comes with plenty of challenges.

Like almost no one really understands what homeopathy is.

But it also comes with lots of blessings.

Like deciding, in the middle of the day today, to go grocery shopping between clients!

What are you doing this week to make sure you take time to do something you enjoy—even if it might feel like drudgery to someone else? For me, that was grocery shopping.
