My Day of Healing: Hormone Balancing Retreat

Hormones drive our bodies, sleep patterns, moods, build bones, aid in digestion, build muscles, widen coronary arteries, balance blood sugar, support our reproductive system and keep us vibrant. Synthetic chemicals and the toxins our bodies encounter daily adversely affect hormones. These chemicals contribute to human illnesses, such as cancer, asthma, as well as breast cancer and obesity.

On Sunday, October 19, from 9:30am to 5pm, the My Day of Healing retreat will help you gain practical insights and wisdom about your body. Five integrative practitioners will show you effortless ways to listen to your body, release stress and understand the impact your hormones play. The presenters bring a lifetime of experience and knowledge about the treatment of various hormone disorders.

Held in a beautifully restored barn in Stockton, guests will enjoy their autumnal country surroundings, clean air and fields of green. The picturesque venue enhances the feeling of luxury and wellness. As an added treat, homemade organic food will be served to all guests.

You will learn how to balance hormones naturally with the use of QiGong and botanicals, understand how your inner body dialogue is affected by your hormones, learn about the dangers of toxicity as hormone disruptors and more. $120/one participant, $190/two participants.

Location: Stockton. For more information, call 215-862-0138 or email [email protected]. MyDayofHealing.com.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
