Updates and questions from a student

[Guest guest]

Happy Spring Ysha!!!

 

As I write with a sniffle and a sneeze. I know better than to let

kapha get the best of me, but alas I got a stupid cold. Horrible

timing to say the least.

 

I have been so busy studying these past couple of months. I know you

haven't seen much in the way of it, but I assure you I've been in

sponge mode. I attended Saraswati Burhman's Ayurveda I course which

was absolutely fabulous. The first weekend was a review for me, so I

was able to sit back and enjoy her lectures. The second weekend we

reviewed the herbs which was exciting, but I'd still love a focused

women's health discussion on herbs. More studies to come... there is a

lifetime of studies for me. Thank goodness for all the teachers. I'm

thrilled about the summer schedule at RMIYA with Dr. Shresta coming.

 

I did see that you may be coming in September which would be so

amazing to get to study with you face to face. The correspondance

course has been helpful and educational, don't get me wrong. I refer

to my notes and your notes all the time. I feel super prepared to get

the most out of your talks if you are still planning on coming. I'm

getting married at the end of September on the 27th in Vermont. So if

I could put in my vote(if you are taking any) to ask if you are able

to come in the early part of the month???? I'll do my best to share

the RMIYA schedule with interested friends and already know of 2

people who would love to join the studies.

 

Work with my clients has been going well. I've just had one since my

last client in the Fall, and have another that I will work with as

soon as I'm well. Cooking has been going great, getting creative and

making delicious food. A couple of questions have come up in my mind

as I've been attending the postpartum courses at Boulder Community

Hospital. ..

 

1. Why does no one talk about the milk fever - 2 out of 3 of my

clients have experienced it. When I asked a lactation consultant she

answered me by saying it's not normal and that women should call a LC.

hmmm?

 

2. What are your theories on babies getting acid reflux? None of my

clients have had this problem, but its been a buzz in discussions I've

been having with others.

 

3. Lastly, do you have any wisdom to impart about teaching toddlers

about the arrival of their new baby bro/sis and how to help them

understand that Mom needs to rest. I'm observing the " super mom " in

my most recent client, she worries me that she is doing too much. She

is trying to manage her little 2 1/2 year old world, as if nothing has

happened to Mommy.

 

Be in touch when you can. Your website is overflowing with info.

Dear Lee - welcome to the forum, I'm happy to see you finally figured

it out (and realize that may have held up many I must take rest

now, but will address some of your questions best I can tomorrow.

Welcome, and thanks for sharing!
