evening lectures

You know you need to take care of yourself, but at the end of your day, there are still a handful of things left on the to-do list undone. Taking care of yourself gets pushed further and further down the list!

Most women spend a large portion of their day, if not the bulk of it, caring for other people: their children and spouse, their coworkers and boss, their clients or customers, their parents, people in the community… But what do we do to nurture and nourish ourselves on a deep level?

Does this sound familiar?
“I’ve had a bad day, I’m going to Dunkin Donuts”
“What an awful week, I’m going shopping”
“I just want to take a bath and go to bed early, but…”

Instead of caring for ourselves, we turn to candy, coffee, or other treats as rewards to keep us going. Instead of caring for ourselves, we spend our time “doing” things – usually for others.

In order to be healthy, we have got to make time for ourselves, every day, to care for ourselves. When we fail to do this, we burn out – which can have serious consequences! Chronic fatigue, adrenal depletion, thyroid problems, and overall lack of energy means we’re no good to anyone.

This monthly class will be an exploration of not only how to nurture and nourish yourself, but how to fit it into your schedule as well! The format for this class will include time for sharing with the group as well as time for instruction, and finally, time for figuring out how we can work this into your daily life – and making the commitment to do it!

This working group will be on-going, and though you don’t have to come every month, the accountability gained from being in a community of women all working towards the same goal is invaluable!
We will meet at our office at 25 St. Mary’s Court, Brookline – near BU; the suggested fee is $25; no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Join us on Wednesday, March 7th from 7:00pm – 9:00pm to begin this amazing journey of self-care to wellness!

Lyme disease is ever more prevalent these days, and in many cases, insurance companies don’t cover treatment, even if there is treatment available. Some doctors and insurers don’t acknowledge Lyme as a chronic condition. Even the ones who do are often left at loose ends when the disease doesn’t respond to the drugs available.

But Lyme can be managed quite effectively with natural protocols. In this class, we will discuss Stephen Buhner’s herbal protocol for Lyme, the modifications to that protocol as detailed by Tim Scott, as well as flower essence protocols developed at Delta Gardens. We will also discuss dietary guidelines for recovering from Lyme. You will learn how the different strategies address Lyme and its co-infections, how to implement them, and how to decide which one is right for you.

We will also cover preventative protocols, for folks who don’t have Lyme, so that you can go hiking without fear!

Don’t let Lyme ruin your life! Join us for this workshop and take control of your own health!
