*In my offerings page, I was going offer my coaching as a membership (you would pay a one time fee. Generally 3 consecutive months of coaching and access to me for $3000). However, I haven't set that up AND people are struggling financially in the world today.

[[The basics: my training, while not an M.D., is in Clinical Nutritition and Clinical Herbalism]]

[[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 am extremely knowledgeable in all things nutrition and herbs - and overall anatomy and physiology. I'm a voracious reader and will look deeply and fully into your chronic (and acute) issues. 

*I can be your sleuth for all things health related. While it's not in my scope of practice to say to take or not to a particular medication, I am very good at looking at your symptoms and looking at your medications and coming to some answers for you. 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.

*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.

I will listen to you fully and help you navigate health choices and ill health you're facing

If you would like to discuss your "health goals" or you're struggling with health issues, I can provide the following:

• 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 your suffering with or experiencing.
• teach 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, 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) and also offer Reiki sessions. We can set up a schedule and this is always open-ended, you can cancel when you need to, no questions asked. 
• 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)
• I'm also available one-on-one just as a companion. In today's world many are struggling to get through each day with peace and even a little bit of joy. Do you want to take a walk or need someone to see a movie with? I'm happy just to sit with you so you aren't alone in your day to day. This is basically a "rent a friend" companion -- I can shop with you, we can go places together, see a movie, garden, cook, go for a casual stroll, or sit for coffee. 

Basics of cost -- I like to work 100% by donation/gift BUT you know how expensive Boulder County is! I kindly request the minimum donation/gift as $45/hour. If you have a hardship, we can certainly discuss this amount as I want good health to be attainable.
