Wise Woman: Partner for Health
Counseling for health care questions is provided in partnership with my clients. I serve women in Albuquerque and surrounding communities on-site, and women at-a-distance via telephone, as an educator and guide for health decision-making.
Services include:
Services include:
- pregnancy counseling: making informed decisions throughout the childbearing year;
- fertility counseling;
- nutritional counseling for all stages of life;
- counseling regarding natural and conventional treatment for fibroids, endometriosis & PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome);
- breastfeeding consultations;
- guidance regarding testing and treatment option available for chronic Lyme disease & chronic fatigue syndrome.
My role is to be a facilitator and educator for women's health. I guide women through an examination of their beliefs about their bodies and their health, about the role of testing and technology in medicine, woven with their current health status. My work entails constantly bringing assumptions to light, supplying women with information so they can make the choices that are appropriate to their own unique, individual circumstances.
My job is to ensure that each woman understands health options based on information regarding both her physiology and the effectiveness of all treatment methods. This philosophy of education and responsibility applies for decisions made throughout a woman's life, from adolescence through menopause and beyond.
