Lets be real.....

Let's be real, my blogs have been what some would call dry. My focus as an integrative therapy consultant and herbalist is to provide information and products that are backed by science. I do hope that they have been informative.
You do not have to be "granola" or "crunchy" to use integrative therapy or herbal products. Integrative means to incorporate different medical modalities or natural products into your current lifestyle. Let's be real... anyone who knows me knows that I am nowhere near being completely natural or chemical-free. I have been working on integrating more holistic approaches into my daily life and my medical care, and slowly replacing chemical products with more natural products.
When you sign up for a consultation with me, we review medications, medical history, and allergies so I know which herbs you should and shouldn't take based on potential interactions or adverse effects. This also helps me to understand your capabilities so that we can collaborate on a plan that's going to actually work for you and one that you have the potential of actually keeping up with.
Let's be real.... I am thoroughly aware of busy family lives and no time for crazy therapy antics. I am a mom myself and can sometimes lack motivation for anything related to me. We don't ask you to be perfect. We are just asking that when you come to Howells Homemade for a custom product or integrative therapy plan, you do it for yourself and you give it your best.
