Welcome! I’m Dr. Cory Ambrose-Finch. I’m a Naturopathic Doctor, writer, and educator. I focus on botanical medicine, whole-person health, and healing through narrative. My clinical specialties are homeopathy and foundational health (find out more here). I write fiction/poetry and scientific/medical writing. Looking forward to getting to know you!
How do we tell the difference between what we’re afraid of and what plain-and-simple isn’t the right thing for us? How do we hone our ability to trust our instincts?
The phrase, ‘don’t sink good money after bad’ has been rolling around my head lately. I put it into practice yesterday–in a small way, that hopefully will help me suss out some bigger things…
Guest blog post from Dr. Jackie! Here she talks about the importance of finding the right soil and gives tips on how to be yourself (never underestimate the power of the right blazer). I’m honored to share her words with you and I hope you find joy and healing in them.
I think about the things I demand from my body, soul, heart. I often put my personhood into situations that may be at the brink of my capacity. The maximum limit of strain on our bodies is not the same thing as our threshold for comfort. Identifying those two points as separate things can help us to understand our limits.
As soon as I try to put myself in a box, it feels like the box falls apart. Maybe you also struggle with being seen only as an elevator pitch? I wonder, is niching down good for our overall mental health?
We all need a little help sometimes. Especially when life has gone a different way than we’d imagined—when our bodies can’t seem to come back after illness or trauma or our energy isn’t what it was, or just simply life being hard. Dr. Cory provides gender-informed support that can help you move beyond those moments, integrate ‘lost’ parts of self, and live a more beautiful life.
In this month’s guest blog, Mel talks about bridging the wisdom between her Native roots, her background in restoration ecology, and health-supportive botanicals. She talks about skin health, the power of calendula, hyperpigmentation, and her inspiration for starting to make (and sell) her own botanical products. And she gives a coupon code! Don’t miss it.
