Description
The desire to find a holistic health practitioner is at an all time high among humans right now, especially women and in particular, homesteaders. But finding someone to work with is challenging for many people because of cost and in many areas scarcity of practitioners. For the homesteaders, there is an additional challenge and that is finding the time to leave the farm, family and other work.
In this 12-month program, Dr. Eli Camp, a frequent guest speaker in the OK NLHG Chapters, delivers specific and individual health information to a small group of women. Often in a program like this people start to feel better within the first month. But it takes about a year, at this rate, to work through the core information. This is designed to give a group of women the most important aspects of building health and then give them information for their own specific health situations.
Dr. Camp held 2 calls per month during the 12-month program.
