My Bookshelf
I always get asked what books I like and recommend for various things so I decided to gather this list.
Medicine of the Land
This week, while dismantling our family home of seven years in pursuit of some wild new adventures, I found myself gripped by discomfort as I attempted to separate myself from the healing tools I have grown so attached to. My herbal medicines, cups, needles and diagnostic equipment have been my safety net for the last few years, fueling my confidence at my ability to both keep my family safe and healthy and help others when they are in need. So often, as alternative medicine practitioners we see people who are at the end of their options with western medicine. In the midst of a pandemic, I understand that my lifestyle…
Super Powers
Something amazing happens when you discover something about your child that is different from your experience of the world. It was bound to happen, after all, their experience can’t be the same as yours because…internet and iPhones and GMOs and the 24hr connectivity of informational input (I digress for now because there’s a whole other post about that one…) The point is that when you find out that there is something different about your kid, all the ways in which you know how to guide them through this maze of life shift. You begin to examine everything and if that difference is one that isn’t easily accommodated by the world…
Wake up Refresh
Having grown up performing and doing theatre, I always thought I wasn’t a morning person. Combine that with a 60 hour a week job and a newborn that nursed all night but blessedly slept until 9 am regularly and it wasn’t until I was in my late thirties that I realized that I actually AM a morning person. You might notice that my office hours don’t begin before 11 am and I will admit that I truly cannot get my family anywhere on time before 11am (luckily we homeschool so this isn’t such a problem) but mostly this is because we all like our mornings and so they fill up…

True confessions of a working mom…
So here it is guys, confessions of the epic fail it took me way too long to realize. One day recently, after I received my acupuncture license fresh from the California acupuncture board, I got excited and then side tracked down that well known alley of “I’m gonna do business things now” even though at the time I was parenting (which has been my predominant mode post grad) and juggling all the homeschool/feed me/laundry/house work stuff that goes along with that job. I decided that I was going to order business cards! Not the print at home ones that I had made the month before but real grown up business…
Welcome!
This website has been the brainchild of my sleepless nights for almost 6 years. At some point I realized that there was a lot up there that could do more good if I could just communicate it to the right folks at the right time and so here we are. You probably want to know a little bit more about me…I’m Beth. A little over ten years ago I became a mother and like many moms out there I made the choice to educate myself about health and wellness for the benefit of my family. I spent a lot of time reading about natural medicine; made some radical choices about food,…
