Why work with Beth?

Beth has spent the majority of her adult life as a wife, mother, aging parental caretaker and successful career woman. She has experienced first hand the challenges in creating work life balance and optimal health that many women experience in their various life roles. In her late forties, Beth developed high blood pressure and lower back issues. As part of her healing, she gravitated toward yoga and mindfulness to support her healing process. After recognizing the importance of healthy eating and exercise as well as spiritual and emotional fulfillment, Beth now fully devotes her energy to support her clients' journey of health and well-being.

Our bodies are constantly being rebuilt and regenerated. Because of this, we can say that food is medicine. Wise, sensible food choices are often the start of improving our overall health. We realize that preparing healthy food is a learning process. The teaching kitchen was created to facilitate that learning process through courses on meal planning and practical skills for busy lives. 

FOOD FOR LIFE
Our instructor(s) teach Food for Life nutrition and cooking classes at Asheville Gynecology & Wellness. The principles of Plant-Based are consistent with the findings and initiatives developed  by Cornell University's T. Colin Campbell. He is the author of The China Study.  If you are interested in Food For Life or other resources for Plant-Based Nutrition, CLICK HERE to explore a list of upcoming events/programs.

Massage Bodywork promotes a sense of well being and is beneficial to maintain health. Our bodies often reveal the accumulation of emotional and physical stress. Stress contributes to symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and anxiety. Physical therapy, therapeutic massage, Osteopathic manipulation, and other treatment modalities often provide symptom relief. Asheville Gynecology & Wellness can make recommendations and referrals for body workers.

Meditation
Modern life competes with and interferes with quiet contemplation. We value the health benefits of meditation and contemplative practices. Asheville Gynecology & Wellness provides information and resources to patients regarding contemplative practices that can be incorporated into their lives.

Breathing
As simple as this sounds, paying attention to our breath can produce profoundly beneficial effects. Patients may be encouraged to practice mindful breathing.
