*Eventually I will offer my guidance as a membership, as in, you would pay a one time fee. Generally 3 consecutive months of coaching/guidance/teaching plus access to me for $3000. However, I haven't set that up AND people are struggling financially in the world today, so I want to be as accessible as possible.

[[My training: while not an M.D., I'm a Clinical Nutritionist and Clinical Herbalist-very close to "functional medicine", as well as a life/parent coach]]

[[My life path has been one FULL of passion for scientific, medical, and health research]]

*My goal is to be your advocate. I'd like to be affordable as best I can. I'm extremely knowledgeable in all things nutrition and herbs - and overall anatomy and physiology and am a Reiki master. I'm a voracious reader and will look deeply and fully into your chronic (and acute) health issues and support and guide you through emotional struggles.

*I can be your sleuth for all things wellness related. I want you to be radiant! While it's not in my scope of practice to say to take or not to take a particular medication, I am very good at looking at your symptoms and looking at your medications and coming to some answers for you. You make your decisions for you armed with knowledge. (for example - Are the health challenges you're experiencing potentially due to the combo of pharmaceuticals you're taking? Can we find a way to add to your health without first taking away? You would have to further discuss plans with your doctor(s) when working with medications but I would love to give you a clearer picture of what you're experiencing.) Doctors have little time to sit with you and actually discuss your health and your personal experiences. Even if video conferencing is taking over, the story is the same: doctors have limited time for you. I by this I include psychiatrists, psychologists, even therapists - yes, you're talking but are they listening truly with their hearts? Are you moving upward and onward and becoming truly, beautifully radiant?

*As I said, I won't tell you what to do or not to do. But I do have a spidey-sense for putting the bigger picture together for you so you can make very informed decisions. 

*I've lived most my life using very few pharma products, except for in emergency situations. I've travelled the world, staying in mostly "just above backpacking" style abodes - things like "family stay" and small places with dirt floors. I've maintained not only a healthy life but I've raised 5 very healthy children. Most recently in 2017 I took my 5 yr old son to the Amazon jungle (in Google maps, search "Indiana Peru" and it will point you to a small village on the Amazon. We were a few more miles down river). We were there for a month, swimming with pink dolphins, we fished piranha and ate river cat fish.

In my life of travel with my young children, we had one earache (because I poked my child with a Qtip) and one bout of quick "food poisoning" from Singaporean street food (in a 1st world country!).

I will listen to you fully and help you navigate your health and life choices

If you would like to discuss your "overall wellness goals" or you're struggling with acute or chronic health issues, including acute or chronic emotional issues, I can provide the following:

• Guidance on "all things"- a "findologist", a Steph'll Fix It, Mary Poppins meets Oprah meets Martha Stewart (all the good parts...) make it work, figure it out!

• Walk you through places like Natural Grocers/Vitamin Cottage or Sprouts or Whole Foods so you can better understand supplements that are available to you and the health conditions you're suffering with or experiencing.

• teach you to make foods you love from scratch so you can follow the phrase I like to follow - "nothing out of a box, nothing out of a can or jar. If you have trouble following a recipe or just need some confidence in your kitchen, I can do that! Ok, I admit, often I have Italian tomatoes in my cupboard as well as potato chips... We can't all be perfect! I can teach you simple sourdough bread, tortillas, pie crust, gluten free pasta, etc. and how to follow recipes. My kids will tell you they miss my cooking now that they're out of the house and when we're all together, we consume at least 10 loaves of "mom's recipe brown bread".

• Would you like to plan out some goals for overall wellness? Do you want to focus on a "life plan" that reduces physical and emotional stress?

• I can help coach and guide you weekly (more or less, whatever your preference) and also offer Reiki sessions. We can set up a schedule and this is always open-ended, you can cancel when you need to (24 hr notice). 

• Do you need help for your parenting? Mothering is the steepest and fastest path to enlightenment... Let me help you find the joy in your children! (babysitter, nanny, preschool/afterschool teacher, teacher of English overseas, travel w/children, homeschooled some of my own children)

Basics of cost -- I would love to work 100% by donation/gift BUT you know how expensive Boulder County is! I can give you discounts if you book multiple hours at a time. This secures your spot and keeps food on my table. If you can pay the full amount $150/hour that's amazing. I kindly request the minimum donation/gift as $45/hour. If you are under severe financial hardship, let's discuss a sliding scale and action plan you can afford.
