Dear friends,

I gave a talk at the naturopathic school last week on the Art of Naturopathic Medicine. One reason I like teaching is that it gives me the opportunity to think about things and to reflect on my work. No matter how I slice it, I always come back to the same thing: though there is much to teach in terms of the details of natural medicine or homeopathy, the art of healing comes through the hands, the heart and the spirit of the practitioner. Because of that, it's our responsibility to take good care of ourselves, to work on our own healing and to nurture the parts that keep us in touch with our best intentions, our clearest focus and our most enlivened energy. 

I like to plug right into the energy of the spring to re-vitalize myself

Dr. Rothenberg at Ft. Defiance, Arizona with a friend--blue skies and a big boulder to keep up that hill!

and to recommit to my work of becoming the best doctor I can be. Sometimes and for some of us, this seems an almost Sisyphean task, but it is always worth the effort. Here's wishing you vibrant health and all the love and support you need to keep pushing that boulder up the hill!

All the best,

Amy Rothenberg ND
