Emily Hudson, ND

In the world of wellness and holistic medicine, too often things are touted as right or the only way. Believe me, there is no one right diet, or one best supplement for everyone. Taking in this kind of information can add to feelings of perfectionism and guilt that so many of my clients struggle with. Always remember, what’s right for someone else doesn’t have to mean it’s right for you, now or ever. It is important to find what is best for you at this point in time.

Looking forward to this event with my friend, Lana on Saturday! She is a birth doula and has some great information to share about how to connect more deeply with feminine energy and our wombs.

So excited to be giving this talk at Cheryl's herbs on November 2nd. Join me and learn the many benefits herbal medicine can have on our mental health.

Like many others out there, I started a garden this year. Built 3 beautiful raised beds in the backyard and filled them with soil and compost. It was a bit of a late start but I dove in anyway, sowing the beds with seeds from beets, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, bok choy and rainbow chard. My little girl helped me and was excited to water the dirt everyday as we waited patiently for the first glimmer of life. Three months later, I hesitantly harvested the first food from our g...arden- this beautiful rainbow chard (pictured above). I was feeling a lot of things as I tore the thick stems from their base. Excited, prideful, humbled, scared. And I left behind small leaves, that may still have a chance of reaching their full potential. We ate this nutritious and beautiful food as a delicious side at our Thanksgiving meal. What a reward! And the rest of the garden? Well...it wasn't nearly as bountiful. I still tend to it everyday; though in the end, I couldn't keep the caterpillars from demolishing the bok choy and cabbage. The broccoli never amounted to much at all and the carrots are still growing but I'm pretty sure I was supposed to thin them out more than I did. They're crowded and small and I'm too scared to pull any more out for fear that I'll ruin 3 months of hard work. I've always heard that gardening is nature's teacher. What did I learn from mine? 1. Do not expect perfection. There is nothing to be learned in perfection. Perfection is boring. 2. Relish in your successes, and never let your failures overshadow those successes. 3. It is the best feeling in the world to eat what you grow. Grow more stuff! I'm ALWAYS open to gardening tips, btw. I'm looking to keep this thing going. Onward.

I am excited to announce my first winter Live Online Seminar: Mental Health and Herbal Medicine!

If you’re interested in learning more about some complementary and alternative forms of medicine - and especially if you... struggle with mental health concerns, this class is for you! There will be a short moderated Q&A period at the end.
