Greetings!  

It's March and I am anticipating the change in seasons coming soon. I'm grateful for the advent of spring as this has been a very long winter in Northern California. I feel my energy shifting now as the days lengthen and the temperature rises. How about you?
 
In this month's newsletter I have included a link to a brief survey about the newsletter. I really need to hear from you!

surveyComplete the Survey
Women's Health & Healing has been in business for 5 years this spring. It was a dream come true for me to be able to start my own practice and to provide integrative women's health consultations. I have strived to develop ongoing meaningful relationships with my patients and to offer safe and effective approaches to healing that are not just the latest trend. To keep in touch with patients and colleagues I started sending out monthly newsletters in January of 2007. Many of you have been subscribers since the very first issue- thank you! Since then, the number of subscribers has gone from just under 100 to nearly 250. What do you like about the newsletter? What would you like to see changed? What health issues are important to you? Please fill out the 10 question survey and let me know what you think. I need your ideas for future newsletters!

Integrative Women's Health Text Available
The book is the 4th in the Weil series on Integrative Medicine. The 38 chapters include sections on: lifestyle, systems and modalities, reproductive health and common illnesses in women. I wrote two chapters; one on UTI's and one on vaginitis. It's the first time I have contributed to a book, it feels pretty neat.
Women's Health & Healing believes that women want to be active participants in their health care and want a collaborative relationship with their provider that is empowering and supportive.
 
Sincerely,
