The word radiant makes my heart beat faster. It conjures up a blaze of brilliance, sunshine, energy, love and life. We’re most radiant at some very important times: conception, pregnancy and new motherhood, certainly, and then when we decide to make a change and clean up our diets, bodies, earth – in other words, when we decide to get more natural. As a women’s magazine editor – Fit Pregnancy for 20 years, Natural Health for five – I listened to what women felt and needed during these pivotal times in their lives. Now I want to bring that expertise to you, whether you’re experiencing one of these life changes, or want to reach the women who are. That’s where Whole Pregnancy and Natural Living come in. In my Whole Pregnancy blogs and articles you’ll read about how to have a healthy, conscious and natural pregnancy, the stuff you need to worry about and what you don’t. What you need to buy (and what you don’t), how to make decisions that help you feel involved in the process and your new baby’s life as much as possible. Prenatal health, fitness and nutrition, fertility, beauty, sex and relationships, and breastfeeding.And if you want even more than what you read here, I can be your personal pregnancy coach. For Natural Living I’ll cover the ways you can live a cleaner, healthier and yes, more conscious life, by using complementary and alternative healing, herbs, supplements, lifestyle and dietary changes. You can learn about doable detoxes, how to cope with illnesses and conditions naturally, aging with grace, mothering with confidence, as well as non-toxic beauty, food and relationships. My latest book, The Doctor’s Book of Natural Health Remedies (Galvanized Press/Random House, 2014) is a guidebook to the power of integrative healing, using the best of both Western and alternative treatments for your path to optimal health. And since everything is connected to our planet, you also can read about sustainability and ways to give back. If you have a business and want to reach this audience, I can help. I’ve been working as a consultant and spokesperson for the pregnancy, breastfeeding, baby product and naturals industries, and can help you tailor your messaging and programs to target the women you want to listen. And if you are an editor or publisher who needs a writer with expertise in all of the above, give me a shout. So now, commit to learning. More. It’s the first step toward being radiant.
