Have Faith Not Fear During These Unsettled Times
Mar 26, 2020In the past few months we have faced something few of us would have ever imagined possible. It's straight out of a hollywood film like Contagion or Outbreak. When talking to patients I can hear the fear in their voices. I can see the feeling of unease when waving to my neighbors.

Mar 23, 2020

Mar 05, 2020I wanted to pass along a story from one of my more recent patients, let's call her Alison.

Although all her tests with her doctor have come back normal she definitely was not feeling healthy.
Immunity: 'Tis the Season

BOOSTING YOUR IVF SUCCESS WITH LASER AND ACUPUNCTURE
Feb 18, 2020I have many patients coming to me about to start an IVF cycle. And whether it’s their first or their fourth their main concern is doing everything they possibly can to make this their best (and last) cycle.

Why feeling seen, heard and respected matters so much in childbirth. A case study from Chiapas, Mexico.
Feb 09, 2020I heard many different birth stories from the midwives while teaching the training in Chiapas. One story that deeply affected me was told by two of the traditional midwives and was about an indigenous 16 year old girl from a community outside of San Cristóbal de las Casas.
