Westside Natural Health - February Newsletter

Just as I was getting thawed out from the “snowmaggedon”, it got cold again in the Evansville area.

The positive side of the deep freeze is that it prompted me to more fully develop our in-office coffee and tea station. I am someone who survives the cold weather by having warm drinks throughout the day. I have herbal tea, black tea, decaf or half-caf...

Your Eyes are the Window to Your Soul

Happy May Everyone!!! Does anyone think that April was a blur? That it went by so fast that it is mind blowing? 🤯 Or is it just me? I know that part of the reason that last month seemed to sprint on by is that I traveled for part of it. I attended a training retreat hosted by some of my mentors in Naturopathic practice, and we had a gorgeous Smoky Mountain view to enjoy. I will always be glad that I gave myself the permission to step away from my professional duties, and personal life, for...
