Natural Wisdom

As a parent, you may wonder if there is any difference between a naturopathic doctor's visit and a  conventional one.  You may be curious about how a naturopathic doctor is trained.  (Find out here.)  You may already be considering naturopathic care for your family, but were waiting for the "right" time.  Whatever your situation, now you have the chance to give it a try!

It is true that a naturopathic doctor's visit costs more than your typical insurance copay to see a conventional doctor - on the surface.  When you include the potential long-term expenses, however - additional doctor's visits, medications, surgeries, and a reduced quality of life - a holistic and preventative approach to health begins to make real financial sense.  There is no better time to start this than at the beginning - in childhood.

For one day only, December 12, 2009, I am providing well-child visits for $30 (a $100 value for new patients).  Each 45-minute visit will include a physical exam, a developmental assessment, and information about nutrition and natural therapies for children.  (Read more about naturopathic well-child visits on my website.)

There are only five openings available, so make sure you don't miss out!  Call (970) 232-8447 today to schedule your child's appointment.  Experience the natural, compassionate, whole-child care that is naturopathic medicine.

If you haven't yet heard about the play, Birth, you are missing out!  Written in 2006 by playwright Karen Brody, Birth is a series of interwoven monologues that follow the birth stories of eight modern women. 

Birth On Labor Day (BOLD) is the name given to events worldwide which combine local performances of the play and "Red Tent Events" (sacred spaces offered for women to share their birth stories).  BOLD was created as a way to inform people about modern birth culture and to empower women to have the best birth experiences possible.

In 2008, The Family Journey brought BOLD to Fort Collins to enormous support and rave reviews.  This year, the event is even more exciting, with a new venue (the Lory Student Center on the CSU campus), a birth art show, a mother-baby friendly vendor fair, the Red Tent Event, and a talk-back panel after the play.  This year's panel includes Mothering Magazine editor Peggy O'Mara, a long-time champion of natural living and empowered birth.

This amazing event is happening Saturday, September 26th, with the Red Tent Event on Sunday, September 27th.  The performance is powerful, funny, transformational and enlightening.  Tickets can be purchased through The Family Journey's website.  Come and experience it for yourself!
