#1. The “100 Families” Project:
Imagine a new (and very old) healing relationship:
I am a retired family doctor and a mother of two. I am capable of easing your worries about a child with a fever.
I can go with you to a scary medical encounter as an advocate, help organize your family to take 24/7 shifts with a relative in the hospital, sit down with your family to discuss a new cancer diagnosis
I can come and stay in your home if you are ill, and need support with cooking and cleaning.
I can walk you through medical tests and studies, helping you prepare, help you understand what the tests are FOR and what the results mean, discuss conventional options and alternative treatments.
I can help you create healing space and environments that go beyond the current definition of “health” into REAL WELLNESS.
The Cuban medical system (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjk1ydj3koY) assigns each family doctor 120 families. I am offering the above services as a subscription, in a pilot project for 100 Families. This is designed to supplement not replace your PCP ( I do not prescribe, nor diagnose, nor admit people to hospitals). An individual subscription is $20/month; $30/month for a family. Enrollment is open, and will continue until I reach my100 family goal. In three months, I will report out to everyone (and take feedback on) how this relationship is going.
My intention is to create a steady income for myself, and to model for other healers a way out of the managed care system.
#2. The “Mermaid Magic” Project
Last Fall, I set up programs for men over 40 (see “Wellness Tips for Extraordinary Men” here: http://www.witchandclown.com/wellness-products/).
This winter is for THE WOMEN. I set up a program for men first, because we women care take everyone ahead of ourselves. I knew that I would not be able to get the women enrolled, if “their men” were not cared for.
Ladies, our time is here!
We will connect on line with occasional red tent like adventures together “face to face and heart to heart”. My goal is to create self-empowering circles of support, and to increase our access to wellness. Mermaid magic will be a DONATION BASED service; contribute if you can; no women turned away. Pay me what you can, as you are able, and enjoy the postings. Comment as you see fit.
Blog posts/ newsletters related to both projects will begin the week of January 15th.
