The Longest Living Herb on Earth

Posted on May 9, 2015 by thebearthinstitute in Herbal Healing

I wish I could BLOG a smell. As we were driving through the Texas desert I had to stop the car because the smell of chaparral was so strong I thought I must be imagining things. Once you smell chaparral you never forget how it smells. Although I have never lived...

How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Posted on April 25, 2015 by thebearthinstitute in Inner Work, Inner Work, Modeling, Modeling, Monday Meditation, Naturopathic Healing

The other night I was watching The Colbert Report and saw a very funny interview that Steven Colbert did with the head of the Sierra Club. For those who are not familiar with The Colbert Report it is a “fake news” show with the host pretending to be an extreme conservative...

Why Isn’t Natural Healing Working For Me?

Posted on April 18, 2015 by thebearthinstitute in Herbal Healing, Naturopathic Healing, Nutritional Healing, Temperament Consulting, The Temperaments

Is Your Health Food Safe?

Posted on April 11, 2015 by thebearthinstitute in Detoxification, Healthy Meals, Nutritional Healing

What if Everyone Did This? (Free Health Chart)

Posted on February 14, 2015 by thebearthinstitute in Consultations, Holistic Health, Naturopathic Healing, Nutritional Healing

Simplifying Homeschooling & Health

Posted on December 20, 2014 by thebearthinstitute in Monday Meditation, Nature Walks, Naturopathic Healing, Reflexology

The word “simplify” has become a buzzword in society the past few years.

Stretching as a Remedy

Posted on November 22, 2014 by thebearthinstitute in Detoxification, Naturopathic Healing

For me, stretching usually brings up images of “what we did before track practice” or “my least favorite part of gym class”. These images and thoughts about stretching are common to a lot of people. Often when I mention stretching to my clients they say, “you mean like athletes do?”...

A Surprising Wrinkle Remedy

Posted on November 1, 2014 by thebearthinstitute in Natural Skin Care

If I could give everyone just one health tip I would choose to say, “deal with the issue before it becomes an issue”. So many health problems in our lives start out as little ‘hints’ – perhaps just a stomach ache or a headache now and then. If left unattended...
