Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

The fall Equinox is this week, so we are officially headed into fall now! And for so many of us, shorter days and longer nights means a dip in our mood.

Tons Of Holistic Health Ideas To Help You Move Through Grief

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

A few years ago I became a Death Doula. You would think as a physician we would be taught in detail about the death and dying process in medical school, but we weren’t. Not at all.
