New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
We're in the midst of a health crisis that has upset the equilibrium worldwide. Here, at home, the threat of the coronavirus has closed schools, restaurants, and bars. Stores are emptied, travel restricted, and events cancelled. I never imagined that people would be advised not to visit grandparents or go to the gym. All of our well-intentioned plans have succumbed to logistical and financial recalibration as we're asked to work from home and our savings take a nosedive. As the unknowns pile up, anxiety levels elevate. No wonder we feel distracted and uptight. Dealing with upheaval is always stressful.

It was only through my own healing that I discovered anxiety was very different from what I believed it to be. When I start working with a client, they are often most concerned with what caused the ...
One of the most frustrating things to encounter as a woman trying to get pregnant is getting a diagnosis of "unexplained infertility." You're at a loss, your doctors are at a loss, and the prognosis seems bleak.
