Integrative Healers Action Network 2020 Service
For the third year in a row, I am volunteering my homeopathic services with the Integrative Healers Action Network in the aftermath of the Northern California wildfires. Above picture is me in Santa Cruz, California in September, at an IHAN clinic for evacuees and locals in the aftermath of the CZU Lightning Complex Fire.
Working with an integrative team of chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopathic doctors, massage therapists and others, we are showing up for the people who are most impacted by the climate change driven disaster of wildfire.
People who access our services often express that we are the first to make them feel human again after the disaster, with many of them having lost their homes, or having at least to have fled their home which is very traumatic especially for those in communities not expecting to, such as Santa Cruz and outlying coastal towns in 2020.
Homeopathic medicine, when individualized, can help to reduce acute trauma symptoms and increase an individual's capacity to resource themselves and/ or find appropriate resources in a disaster.
I am honored to serve my community in this way.
Consider supporting @integrativehealersactionnetwork financially with a donation, and/ or corporate sponsorship.
For those homeopaths or other certified or licensed integrative health care professionals, we could use your help!

We have continued to to face unprecedented wildfires in Northern California this year.
We have been able to meet the community where they are and help people be more resourced in this traumatic moment.




Paradise, California 2020
Integrative Healers Action Network

November 7th, 2020
I was humbled to get to serve in Paradise, California on the 2nd anniversary of the Camp Fire. I had served in the Red Cross shelter with IHAN in 2018 in Chico in the aftermath of the Camp Fire, 6 weeks after the fire began. It was life-changing for me.
This year in Paradise, IHAN collaborated with conventional medical organization Medspire for a community renewal event held at a local church.
I was able to help 18 people over the course of the day homeopathically.
People in this community are still suffering from profound grief and loss, which is understandable. Many had witnessed shocking loss of life, and despair. Many lost loved ones in the fire, or in the weeks and months afterward, to stroke and heart attack from the stress. There was a sense of needing to hold it together, as the entire community is still suffering and under-resourced, though trying to recover. There was also profound grief for the environment, as the landscape is still charred, though there is regrowth too.
While health complaints ranged from severe insomnia since the fire, to chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and addiction, there was a stoicism in most everyone I spoke to.
Blessings on this community. I am very glad to have served with the medicine I know, homeopathic medicine.
