First of all, I wish to thank everyone for the response to the website makeover and expanded services. I am very grateful for your support as we try to navigate this space and discern God’s will for us. After a rather challenging year of questions, concerns, and subsequent self-reflection, it feels to us that at this point we should continue to be available and provide holistic health resources. Our own journey has given us a heart for those who suffer and face ongoing challenges that life brings. In addition, we have been helped so much by others and wish to pay it forward in some way.

This post is mainly to further clarify what we offer and to answer questions that have come from subscribers. If the website is new to you or you have not explored the new format, please feel free to do so.
Telehealth
Telehealth is the term used for doing counseling, coaching, and consulting by phone/video. I plan to streamline bookings and payment in the future but for now if you would like a free 15-minute consultation please contact me by email or WhatsApp. Both links are on the website under the Services tab. I don’t want to waste your money so a quick review allows you and me both to explore whether or not I can help and to what extent.
My focus and experience in this area centers around a holistic approach to emotional and mental health. I also provide consulting and coaching for weight loss, diet, fitness, hormonal/menopausal care, and nutrition.
I will be glad to consult on general medical issues, to a point, but I cannot prescribe medications or order labs, imaging, or anything else outside of Michigan and Indiana.
CBD
Yes, I will continue to sell Green Compass CBD products. It is difficult to believe that after almost 9 years of formal education in health care, CBD was never mentioned (or, for that matter, almost anything else alternative or naturopathic). So it is a learning experience for me and I continue to find the research positive and encouraging. Of all things naturopathic/alternative I feel CBD holds the most promise and makes the most sense physiologically. I am still learning dosing regimens and finding what works and what does not.
Which brings me to this. If you are taking CBD but not finding it helpful, please reach out. I am not a salesman by any stretch and am not interested in selling you something that isn’t working. My point is, you may benefit from a dose or product change and that is why I am here. At the same time, it may be a helpful discussion to assess what you are trying to treat as well; perhaps you need a different approach that does not include CBD.
A quick dosing update: for those who have been using tincture and purchased the 500 mg bottle, please increase to 750 or higher. I have found that 500 mg dose is simply too low for adults and does not provide a noticeable effect.
Mental Health Workshops
I appreciate all the support we have received to continue these workshops in the future. The evolution of these workshops has been interesting. We started by offering them largely to Care Committee and Resource Team members as well as any staff members who were interested. At this point I have seen the benefit of offering them to almost anyone that has a genuine interest in learning more about mental and physical health.
The format will likely remain much the same although, as usual, we are open to change.
Blog
I will continue to post articles on mental and emotional health, as well as other interests. Feel free to subscribe, comment, and critique.
Thank-you again for your support. Wishing each and every one a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
BF
