Reflections on Healing
As we emerge from the season of Spring into Summer. I wanted to express my personal gratitude and awe for the healing that is happening all around - in myself, the staff, our patients, and the world. I honor our family, friends, patients, and community members who have passed into the light. And I pause in the space between where renewal is quickening. I give thanks.
Some favorite quotes written by Robin Wall Kimmerer:
“To heal the earth is to heal ourselves;
we are intricately linked
in the process of renewal.”
“Every act of kindness towards nature is an act of self-healing.”
“Nature heals in its own time;
we, too, must learn to cultivate patience for our own healing journeys."
Reflections on Healing, Part Two
Last newsletter some of you may recall my reflections on healing and gratitude, since that time I have more inspiration to share .
My story starts at the end of last year, when I had a concerning health diagnosis that set me back, since I did not realize I had some complications, I was thinking "oh this is just part of menopause". Appreciative of the early detection, I was very concerned and frankly scared to follow the allopathic course of treatment because it was so invasive.
What I decided to do next was see Dr. Chlebowski, who started me on my individual treatment plan- which included a referral to do Quantum Biofeedback sessions with Natasha. Soon I was receiving treatments targeting detox at the cellular level, which has helped lower my inflammation and improve my digestion.
Over the past several months I have had nine Quantum Biofeedback sessions. Currently, we are focused on my core miasm, which is asthma. Treating my constitutional miasm makes sense to me and I am excited for my body to start to heal and be strong and clean enough to fight off illness before any other chronic levels accrue.
Since my initial diagnosis and starting the Quantum Biofeedback, I had another test, from which I am very pleased to have had a negative result. Confident that over time, my healing gains will continue, it is with tremendous gratitude and trust in knowing that by following Dr. Chlebowski's treatment plan, I am making progress in the right direction. Going forward, I will continue with the Quantum Biofeedback sessions, and routine testing every six months.
One last point I'd like to share, that through this process at ANM, not only was I able to be heard and have my diagnosis, and health concerns addressed in a compassionate manner, I was able to access care that didn't involve surgery or invasive drugs.
At ANM I am allowed the space to let my body engage with positive inputs which has brought me to a deeper level of listening to my body and trusting the process of healing that will carry me through the process of treating my miasm; This feels like a wonderful gift of a substantial treatment modality that can help prevent all the ways illness can take root.
Sharing a bit about my story, I hope that I may give someone out there hope and courage to listen to their intuition and inquire at your next visit if Quantum Biofeedback would be right for you. That being said, I encourage you to follow your treatment plan, as well as keep up on your routine check ups and labs, as I have discovered, quality of life is a gift that we must prioritize to maintain daily, especially as we age.
Blessings in Health,
