Case Study of a Dog with a Spinal Condition – Part 2 of 4
Last week I started sharing a little about a recent zoopharmacognosy (self selection) session with a canine client of mine.

Having offered some essential oils,…
Capturing Love Inside these Butterfly Wings
“Love spreads her ashes on my bed tonight, the nightingale calls a sound of surrender. The feelings in my heart are distant cries, unavailable to myself,” I wrote eighteen years ago in my journal as I lived in my parent’s New Jersey home at age thirty, inside that place we perceive as stuck, when, in…
Five Ways to Decalcify Your Pineal Gland
