Nurse practitioner resource .....

[Guest guest]

Hey Shawna,

Please let me introduce you to our friends here. It is so

heartwarming to know you are sometimes visiting with us here! Please

share any related inspirations also from your recent conference?

 

Dear Group Members,

Shawna has a lively medical office serving north Florida (Alachua).

She was a lay midwife for years before becoming a nurse practitioner,

and has taught (are you still?) with the local midwifery school among

favorite faculty. (This ARNP profession, for those who may not know,

is close to MD in training, skill, and licensure, except for no

surgery/hospital priveleges).

 

Shawna also worked for 18 years alongside an MD sought out

internationally for effective treatments for serious diseases

including cancers, and works with protocols, assessment tools and

results quite beyond the medical norm. Shawna has spent a week or

more in herbal studies with Dr. Vasant Lad, while working in an office

which included Ayurvedic panchakarma and other therapies. We enjoyed

attending the first NAMA (National Ayurvedic Medical Association)

conference together, and I've treasured the rare opportunity to

professionally discuss clients with her embrace as well as broad

familiarity for alternative modalities alongside medical accountability.

 

Shawna's deeply felt concern and down to earth wisdom around perinatal

needs for mothers and babies, as well as her networking commitment

with local practitioners for community building and sense of humor

makes her very dear to my heart.

 

Her suggestion regarding the post below was spoken so humbly, but be

assured she has years of experience behind it! Shawna, forgive me for

not saying so as I added my comments on another post. Of course, many

of you probably are already familiar with this measure, suggested to

me also by a midwife after my son's birth 34 years ago, but then I was

rather too shy to do much about it. I did like to feel of the ghee

better, though it was not properly used either (oh, the intimate

secrets, please excuse!).

 

My guess (an educated guess, based on much less client experience with

this than you) is that perhaps more kapha moms may do better with the

witch hazel as their tissues are naturally more unctuous already, and

perhaps the more vata moms will respond particularly well to the ghee.

Witchhazel pads are of course a low cost readily available item in

the US, perhaps more familiar than ghee though working differently

with the astringent/drawing properties at work.

 

WArm Regards,

Ysha
