Beauty Without Toxins
8 June 2017
A few days after I was recovering from my thyroidectomy surgery, I was struggling to sleep. So, as I often do during sleepless nights (not recommended), I went down the Internet rabbit hole in search of reasons why I may have gotten thyroid cancer and/or why I may have developed Hashimoto’s Disease. While I didn’t get to the bottom of either mystery, what I stumbled across was alarming. There were toxins in almost all of my beauty products and household cleaners. Here’s what you need to know: Visit the Environmental Working Group’s cosmetic database, Skin Deep. They’ve tested over 65,000 products to date and rank the products by toxicity level and will tell you what ingredients you should watch out for. They also have an app so you can scan labels while you’re at the store to take a lot of guesswork and memorization out of this. Know your toxins. Here’s a few of the biggies: Parabens: Used in a variety of products and acts as a preservative. It is suspected to be an endocrine and reproductive disrupter, and may be a human carcinogen. Phthalates: Found in color cosmetics, lotions, nail polish, body washes and hair care products. It is suspected […]

Finding Peace in the Midst of Chaos
I hit a deer last week. Our car is a total loss. Miraculously, the deer crushed the front of our car and bounced off (instead of through the windshield), leaving my husband and me without a scratch. Why am I sharing this? There’s some important messages that need to be said. We are not alone. I’m convinced we stayed safe during the accident because angels were there to protect us. As you’ll see in the photos, we finished a bike ride 30 minutes before the accident – the climb was 1,111 ft (a powerful angel sign/number). Also, there were green orbs in our photos, taken on a dark, empty highway. Was I surprised by any of this? No. I know when angels are around. You’ll find unexplainable orbs and flashes of light frequently in my videos and pics here on My Natural Healer as I work with angels in the healing work I do, and I have for years. I witness miracles often as a result. Angels exist to help all of us. I encourage you to have conversations with angels and God, Jesus, whatever higher power(s) you believe in. They’ll give you guidance, comfort, protection and strength when […]

‘The Goop Lab’ Review | My Natural Healer
All I knew about The Goop Lab was the stories most of us have heard – dirty jokes about jade eggs and very expensive exotic treatments with questionable results. There is one thing I can do to educate myself, I thought, as we mulled the articles (bottom of this blog) over – and so I logged into Netflix and started to watch. Right from the beginning, you can see that this is not a doctor’s office. This is not someone telling you what to believe, this is not extremist in theory. Goop (and Gwenyth Paltrow) seem to be intent on being inquisitive. This is, despite articles and journalists urging us to think otherwise, entirely reasonable. In our time, new things are being discovered, old things being remembered, that can help or help certain people with certain ailments or issues. Educating about unique and different healing modalities, and helping people with information so they can decide for themselves. My Natural Healer emphatically shares this goal. So while sure, I wasn’t planning to view strangers’ vaginas at noon on a Wednesday, I had heard of Wim Hof and for the most part, some of the options set forth were reasonable. I felt […]
