Give Your Child the Gift of Natural Health
Supporting children’s health while they are growing up, is an art. As a Wellness Nurse, I look forward to continue sharing practical ways in which you can help your child through any health challenge. Many parents who have attended my workshops are reporting that based on what they have learned, they need fewer visits to doctors and give their children smaller quantities of prescription medicines. Children love the nurturing that comes with receiving wraps, compresses and baths. They will always remember the special aromatic and healing gifts from Mom.
