Letter To My Interns: The Heart Of Lion's Tooth Wellness



As I'm beginning to work with my interns this April, I decided that I needed to write them a little note before our more intensive work  together. I thought is was important to tell them about the heart of Lion's Tooth Wellness and what it really means to me and why I do the work I do...and then I thought- hey! There may be some of you out there who have heard of me but maybe who don't really know "what I do" or what my "vision" or mission is- so I thought, I'd share:) So, for those of you who don't know already...here you are:)

To My Lovely Interns: Why I Need You!
>>>To help me get the word out about whole health , wellness, herbs & self empowerment.
This is my motto: YOU are your own best healer.  And I truly believe it.  Health starts with YOU literally. Not only can we heal ourselves through our life choices, but we can also help to heal others by walking our talk and leading by example. It’s the best way to infiltrate people’s brains- ah ah ah! (evil laugh), no but really it works- I’ve seen it even with my stubborn father.  When we take care of ourselves with foods, herbs, pure supplements, FUN, a strong spiritual path, movement and GRATITUDE, it does wonders for us & everyone around us- in more ways than one.
This is what LTW is all about. This is my message and my hope- to try to teach people that THEY CAN DO IT- by IT I mean ANYTHING, and my job is to be the cheerleader offering support and giving them the tools they need along their unique path. I stress the word unique, because there isn’t one answer or one path for all of us.  Another part of my work is to discover what each individual’s healing path looks like for them. What herbs, foods, exercise, and stress support works best for them and their individual needs. What makes each person their best, happiest, healthiest selves? This is our goal together when someone commits to working with me.
But whether it’s an herbal lip balm someone buys, a clinic someone stops by, a class someone takes with me or a simple conversation about the wonders of Reiki- my desire is to put a little bug in that person’s ear about making better choices for themselves and really just inviting several versions of those choices into their lives- introducing people to the many possibilities and avenues to a healthy & joy-filled life.  And it’s all about taking baby steps. What I teach is not a quick fix to health but a life-long practice of healthy living. It’s about making changes, feeling the benefits and then committing yourself to make those lifestyle changes stick.  I don’t promote a “black and white” way of looking at health & life. Life is for living and enjoying and playing- and indulging! It’s about tuning into your own specific needs, celebrating and “cheating” when the occasion reveals itself and then getting back on the "health train" in due time.  We all have our own limits and how far we can go enjoying those “indulgences” before our body says “Waaaait a  minute! Hold up!” What I help to teach people, is to not ignore those subtle messages from our minds and bodies, but to tune into to them and to become more sensitive to them, so that we can make better choices for ourselves- before it gets to out of hand.  So, I say; everything in moderation- including moderation.
Through one-on-one Wellness Programs, Reiki Packages, herbal courses, Reiki certifications, and the LTW herbal product line- this is my mission- to get people to take their health back into their own hands and realize how amazingly powerful they are. 
So, I need your help spreading the word with me…You in?
