Chunky Vegetable Soup

previous therapists — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:50:26 +0000

Steph recently cooked up this great Chunky Vegetable Soup from alkalinesisters.com. It's so good, we just had to share it again! This soup has lots of health benefits. Make enough of it and you can freeze it for next week too. Just remember, if you do decide to freeze and reheat, try if you can to slightly undercook the veg so that reheating doesn't overcook them, making them soggy.

Although this recipe calls for juicing veggies to make a broth, Steph bought her broth ready made from the Root Cellar.

The air is crisp, the leaves have fallen and the winter winds are just around the corner. Fall presents the perfect opportunity to relax, reflect and be thankful for all of the beauty the year has brought to us. It's also, however, the time of year where our healthy habits seem to dwindle.

Cesarean Section Recovery

Over the past few years I have had the joy and pleasure of working with families, in varying capacities, throughout their child bearing years. This work has been both fascinating and rewarding, and has taught me many things about the miraculous capabilities of the human body and spirit. Some of these lessons have come from watching women recover from cesarean deliveries while caring for their newborn babies. Instantly selfless, these women's unwavering love and commitment to their new baby so often results in their own health and wellbeing becoming secondary.

Postpartum Care Boxes

When I joined the EOHC team I was incredibly excited that the focus group of clients was in their reproductive years. Everything about getting pregnant, being pregnant and watching families grow is exciting for me. For two years now, as I have worked with new moms and babes, I have seen true benefit from the use of traditional eastern postpartum care. The challenge is finding practical ways to use this care without adding stress to the already hectic schedule of a new mom.

Chinese Astrology and the Royal Wedding

previous therapists — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:41:55 +0000

Ahhhh. Everyone loves a wedding! More than that everyone loves analyzing a wedding and taking bets on how long it will last. According to Chinese Astrology every person is born into several astrological animals and elements based on the year, month, day, and time they were born. Similar to western astrology, a person’s life can be forecasted and their relationship compatibility measured based on the stars alignment at the time of their birth.
