The Herbal Advisor began as my radio program on World Radio Geneva in Switzerland for Ex-Pats and English speakers. The stories, the patients, the recommendations I made for countless concerns, became the foundation for Conscious Body Natural Medicine, a natural medicine practice of certified herbals, homeopathy and therapy. Since the start of this practice almost 40 years ago, thousands of clients with hundreds of different symptoms, illnesses and conditions have walked through my door seeking relief and resolution.

Read MoreIf you have come by the clinic lately, you may have stopped to read our front window. There is a sign that says simply "Gratitude" and with it are a group of heartfelt thank yous we have received since the beginning of this year. Many of these were prompted by our Count Your Blessings newsletter that we sent out, but many just wanted us to know that what we do really makes a difference.
