Through objective hindsight, I realize that I have always been a healer.
Where healing has been welcome, I have been successful.
Where healing has not been welcome, I have failed.
Those are broad, yet relatively accurate, strokes.

​Healing is nothing more than identifying that which is incorrect and correcting it.
To heal the world, we must be open to correction.
Pollution, for example, is incorrect. Remove pollution and healing happens, naturally.
Healing correction is never violent or extreme, punishing or condemnatory.

Healing is a vital mindset that can be nurtured in anyone.
When healing is one's bottom line then everything we encounter in life that is amiss and can be corrected by us, gets corrected. 
Allowing incorrectness to live on is corruption, and corruption is sickness. 
Correction is healing.

Healing is also a feeling as well as a mindset.
When all is right with the world, the feeling we experience is one of internal peace, and that sense of peace is a healing feeling. 
Healing feelings, combined with helpful effort, have the power to make right what feels wrong.

When I am with a client, my healing mindset gets supercharged, you might say.
Yet any environment where healing is welcome can be a supercharge opportunity. 
It is up to us to curate environments that invite supercharged healing energy in.

There will never be an end to healing work.
Good.
It means none of us will ever be out of work.

About me.

A multi-purpose home remedy ingredient I purposely ignored due to my gut’s inability to tolerate it, has turned out to be an occasional, needed remedy: Vinegar. Specifically, apple cider vinegar or ACV. It is one of three main ingredients in a recipe I hope you will join me in trying. Well diluted, ACV is already known to be a digestive helper, immune supporter, and weight loss tool, but combined with one or two other antimicrobial ingredients, it packs a powerful punch for arthritic relief, too - but only if it 'tastes' right to you. Vinegar can exasperate candida symptoms and potentially stress liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. As always with natural medicines, use judiciously and do your own research.

One of the first areas of our body to be affected by aging is the center of the lower pelvis, where the bladder lives. No matter your age, life's uncomfortable when holding or releasing your water becomes a struggle. I developed a little bladder pushup program I share with clients that helps keep the fascia and the bladder in better shape. There are also some no-nonsense bladder health tips from Julia at Ascension Physio that I recommend. Download her free e-booklet and get yourself some continence peace of mind for your future.

For anyone who has "Insomnia with a capital I," Saniya Warwaruk's TEDx Talk may be the answer they didn't know they were looking for. Even if you don't have "Insomnia with a capital I", there is much to be gained from the advice within. And as always, take it or leave it, the choice is yours.

The relationship environment created by authority and parental figures in our formative years - as well as our choice of response - often determines our health and wellbeing throughout our lives. There is a simple test called the ACEs questionnaire that helps to quickly identify your Adverse Childhood Experience score. The ACEs website takes time to load, so please be patient. Those who score high may have suffered trauma that make them more likely to have chronic health problems that tend to worsen with aging. It is important to note that a given incidence on the questionnaire, like divorce, is not necessarily a trauma, but how divorce is handled within a family, often is. Still, divorce is worth tracking simply because few divorces are handled well when children are involved.

The goal here is not to blame but to address and learn to prevent. 
We can prevent future health problems of the chronic sort by becoming better parents, teachers, supervisors, etc. To become better people, we must become better at relating to others, especially those in our charge.

We can choose to relate in ways that contribute to trauma or help offset trauma. It is our choice. Let us choose the healthier way.

Our past traumas show up in our present. We cannot change the past, but we can change how we respond in the present. There are probably many ways of accomplishing this. Most people will likely find themselves in need of professional help, but it can be done, individually, as well. A good place to start may be with trauma recovery specialist, Michele Rosenthal. I don't know her, but found her serendipitously. As I found my own way to healing the past, I can tell that Michele Rosenthal is on the right path. By right, I mean she is taking an approach that more closely resembles what I know to be needed for true healing to take place.

We can heal from the past and we can change the future by changing the present: How we choose to relate to every person, place, or thing, matters.
