Transitioning between seasons is like resetting a metronome and changing tempos. The shift from Summer’s playful staccato to the more contemplative tune of Fall is an invitation to adjust our rhythm, eating patterns and sleep schedule to reharmonize with Mother Nature. If the last few weeks have felt like a jolt with bouts of insomnia, […]

Ah, Passionflower!
There are sacred and memorable moments in life when Nature captures our attention and invites us to pause and revel in Her beauty. A majestic tree or a brilliant full moon can often and surprisingly take my breath away. Most recently, I was walking through an unfamiliar park and suddenly sidetracked by a most intricate
ON LEARNING HOW TO SIT STILL
Two months ago, I was sitting on a plane heading from Baltimore to Florida to visit my in-laws. The evening before, my husband and I had just attended our first of eight classes of the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program taught by Gina Sager, MD, RYT.

WHY I DETOX: REASON #3
I AM A CREATURE OF HABIT. Most nights after dinner, I predictably reach into the freezer where my stash of dark chocolate lives.

On any given day, I will inhale car exhaust, the fumes of workers tarring a neighborhood roof, or wafts of cigarette smoke left behind by another pedestrian […]
WHY I DETOX – REASON #1

An Ounce of Prevention…
Prevention is one of the hallmarks of natuorpathic medicine. When cold and flu season arrives, I dig in to the fundamentals of our medicine which are centered around strengthening vitality and removing any obstacles to healing. However, the holiday season does not lend well to what we all know will help prevent viruses from taking […]
