An old time midwife and healer…..

One of my favorite experiences recently occurred when I had to cancel my clinic due to an injury. A friend and client called me asking if I could still see her due to pain related to an injury she had just sustained.
I invited her to stop by my house for a quick treatment. I knew I couldn’t work for long, but hoped I could manage 20-30 minutes.

She came by and I had her sit in our recliner in the living room. There I had good access to her shoulder and was able to give her a fine Ancestral Hands On Healing treatment in a comfortable position for both of us. During the treatment, she mentioned she was worried about her daughter who had the flu. I offered her some of the elderberry syrup I make and keep on hand.

When her treatment was complete and she felt much relieved, I packed up the elderberry syrup, some fire cider, and a tincture to strengthen immunity. As I waved good bye to her, I felt a thrill. I love my office and my practice, but the thrill of hosting a client in my house and sending her home with my family tinctures and herbal concoctions made me feel like an old time midwife and healer. It’s the same work I do in my office but in my home it felt a little homier, I guess.

Anyway, I am back in the clinic, providing Ancestral Hands on Healing, craniosacral therapy, and general health care and midwifery, as usual. I am having the time of my life. Come join me, if you want a lovely healing experience.

And, of course, I also do pelvic floor work and diastasis recti care, but not usually in the recliner in my living room. I think you will have to come to my office for that.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Sacred Medicine: A Practitioner Who Listens to You

Have you found a practitioner who listens to you? One who helps you to understand what’s going on with you even when all you can say is “something’s not right”? One who recognizes the importance of your mind, heart, and soul
in the wellness of your body?

At Sacred Good Medicine, that is what you find.

I call my business Sacred Good Medicine because that’s what I offer. Your wellness is deserving of the reverence and respect that we give to the sacred. Together we open that reverent space where your physical treatment is given power by your emotional and spiritual self. Sacred medicine recognizes your spirit, your history, your heart, and that of your health care provider. Sacred medicine and care occurs between equals, and with reverence for the whole of you and your connections to your creator.

Good medicine recognizes the validity and usefulness of ancient and modern forms of medicine. There is no such thing as “alternative health care.” At Sacred Good Medicine, you have the freedom to access the diagnostic and healing modalities which best suit you and your concerns. Although we offer conventional clinical care, we offer so much more than that. We believe that we can’t address just one problem or you will be left out of balance. We address your emotional and spiritual concerns along with the treatment of your body. We seek balance and harmony, holism and integrity, recognition of who you are and who you are becoming.

At Sacred Good Medicine, you can access herbal medicine, craniosacral therapy, Ancestral Hands on Healing (Indigenous body and spiritual work from South America), visceral/abdominal massage, spiritual healing, curanderismo (traditional, indigenous Latin American healing practices), allopathic medicine (western medicine like most hospitals and clinics in the US), counseling, and sacred conversation. You can also experience functional and integrative medicine as well as some homeopathic medicine. You will learn how to make your own medicine and do your own self care. At Sacred Good Medicine we offer individual personal visits, phone visits, group programs, classes, online support, and other ways of helping you to access the care and information you need for optimum health.

Many blessings,

The Joys of Sacred Health Care

I am fortunate to have work which satisfies my soul and gives me the pleasure of helping others. I practice Sacred Health Care. My health care work is actually meditation and is part of my spiritual practice. It is sacred because it comes from Spirit and brings healing into our world.

I’ve just come from a treatment with a friend which embodied the best of treatments for me. For one, and this is big: we had no time limit. By the time we were finished, three hours had passed and neither of us was tired, simply the work was done for the day and I feel joy to have been able to work to both of our hearts’ content.

Second of all, we talked, we had a platica, as it is called in traditional curanderismo: heart to heart, corazón a corazón, and it was profound for us both. We were equals sharing our hearts and learning from one another.

Third, she was open to the work, and ready, allowing the work to occur as needed,  physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I am a hollow reed or pipe, through which the spirits and healers, my ancestors and guides, play and work, bringing healing and balance, removing what is ready to go. They worked her through my hands and heart and our exchange of words and she experienced healing, some of which I witnessed as she lay on the table and some of which will unfold over the next few days.

One of my favorite things is when I feel/see the change, for example, when I witness a relaxation of a compression as I did today. And as the compression relaxed, and I breathed a sigh of satisfaction, she spoke her experience: “Oh my god, I can feel the flow is starting again, that the thing holding it back is GONE! My face feels free and the pain is gone. And the energy and the life flow is back!” What a powerful and revelatory moment for us both! I appreciated the recognition and validation of my experience of her sphenoid moving from compressed and static to free movement and its own elation at the return of vitality. She could feel the difference without my telling her what I’d seen. Very satisfying for us both.

Not all visits last three hours. Most run one hour for a return or up to two hours for an initial assessment. Three hours is extremely unusual and most treatments would end naturally around the one hour mark, so this was an especial treat.

I love my work. I love that when I leave my office I feel free and rested, having spent the hours in meditation and spiritual healing practice. It gives me pleasure and causes me to grow and learn. I love my hands. I love my heart. I also love your hands and heart and wish for you to use your own hands to follow your heart. That is what we are put here to do: Love our hands, our hearts, our neighbors, and allow love to flow through us to help one another. I am doing what I am meant to be doing and I am grateful.
