The following recommendations are for your convenience in finding effective, convenient care for your wellness. Every practitioner is unique, and finding the right fit is the key. I encourage you to experiment with these folks, even give them a couple of bites at the apple, and communicate your experience clearly and kindly. Feedback for practitioners is rarely direct; folks vote with their feet and their wallets. Don’t compare! Be open to the gifts the practitioner brings, they are all well-meaning healers.
I will be returning in October for sure, I’ll be publishing my availability on this platform, please subscribe to stay in touch, and if you are entertained, confused, or irritated by any of my writing, please comment! I love to be praised, and thoughtful criticism is a gift for the aspiring writer.
