For most of my life I have been interested in health and alternative medicine. My life's journey has brought me through experiences and education that compel me to now share with others. I wear many hats: naturopath doctor, midwife, lactation counselor, acupuncturist, entrepreneur, activist. The best hat: mother.
Someday I will share the journey of how I came to Thailand, learned along the way, and how that knowledge helps me to navigate daily life in this amazing country.
Here are some topics I plan on covering. Please comment below if there are specific topics you’d like to learn more about. Topics will share both what the research says and my own personal applications.
Health: We all strive for this because without it, we cannot fully function in our lives. I will write about many topics on what can be done to improve and maintain health.
Longevity: This topic is so important that I decided to explore it in my doctoral dissertation. Bits and pieces of “Vibrational Medicine and Longevity” will work its way through the coming months of writing.
Nutrition: I spend more time every week sharing about nutrition than any other topic. 90% of our health issues are attributed to what we eat. I will discuss what I personally do and what I advise others to do.
Naturopathy: I became a naturopath doctor when as a midwife I saw healthy mothers and babies but could not help the fathers or rest of the family. Whole family wellness is so very important.
Acupuncture: Acupuncture literally saved my life. I could see how well it would work with the rest of my interests so trained in this. I carry a unique perspective in choosing health by applying many principles of Chinese medicine.
Alternative medicine: This topic has many modalities under one umbrella. Herbs, homeopathy, essential oils, and many many more.
PEMF: Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. I discovered this modality while researching for my dissertation and have since invested in this therapy to improve my overall wellness.
Green living: This is not as easy to do living in a megacity like Bangkok. I will share the way life can be so complicated here with pollution, noise, chemicals, etc and how I do my best to counteract them. This topic has exploded in Thailand in the past 5 years and it’s exciting to see what the future holds.
Midwifery: Deep down in my soul, I know that this is my biggest calling. I love working with mothers and babies and have years of experience to draw upon. There may be many other fields of study that I have delved into, but they all support midwifery in some way.
Birth: Hospital birth, homebirth, unassisted birth. I am passionate about all and have personally done all. Women have the right to birth wherever they want.
Breastfeeding: The desire to help others began with my own struggles to feed my first baby. I quickly discovered that women need love and support in the first months of mothering.
Parenting: I don’t know what I’m doing. But it seems to be working. I am now the mother of a 16 year old daughter, 14 year old son, and 12 year old twin girls. We work together to figure out how to navigate this big amazing world.
I look forward to sharing my life, passions, and insights to my readers. Welcome.
