Happiest Mother’s Day to my mom! 💐 She continues to teach me about strength, resilience, laughter, and love! I feel so lucky to call this incredible lady my mom! . . #mothersday #mom
Still beaming from taking @drtyna’s #theartofneedling class!!! 💉 It was so incredible to learn from Dr. Tyna and her badass needling skills, as well as work with an amazing group of naturopathic doctors! We learned a variety of injection techniques and got comfortable with different sized needles and solutions. I feel WAY more comfortable with a needle and can’t wait to use my techniques on my patients in clinic! . . #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicrevolution #badass #sportsmedicine
The last day of classes of med school with these incredible souls until we start clinic. What an amazing three years it’s been! We have completed over 60 classes and 60 exams together. My favorite things that have gotten me through were dancing, laughing, the gym, self-care, supportive people, traveling, meditation, and healthy food! Can’t wait to start clinic and see patients full time starting in May! . . @myccnm #naturopathicrevolution #naturopathicmedicine #medschool #dreambig
Have you looked down at your feet today? What color are your shoes? Have you connected to your body? 😳 So often when we are super busy with deadlines, distractions and lists upon lists, we lose connection to ourselves and our fight or flight response, the sympathetic nervous system, runs the show, causing us to breathe shallow (not the awesome Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper kind), we stop digesting our food, and somehow our shoulders end up by our ears. . . I have put together 3 tips to help you get quiet when you have a crazy busy day! 😉 . . My favorite one is #2 - #binauralbeats for anxiety and focus. Research shows that when we listen to these tones 🎧, we retrain our brain to seek calm and not react to stress in a negative way. I listen to a different one each day for a different purpose. They help even if you only have a few minutes! . . Check out the rest of the blog! Link in bio! . . What are your favorite hacks for getting calm when your day is chaotic? Comment below! 👇🏻 . . #womeninstem #neuroscience #brainpower #brainhealth #medstudent #entrepreneur #business #busymom #healthylifestyle #tipsforlife #mindfulness #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicmedicalstudent #naturopathicrevolution
So excited to be done with my last OSCE!! What is an OSCE? It’s an objective, structural, clinical examination that tests clinical, reasoning, interviewing, and physical examination skills. It also tests comprehensive charting skills. . . We are given 18 minutes per standardized patient case to do a thorough history, physical exam, and charting. We have three rounds of this back to back! . . We complete 3 OSCEs before entering clinic. . . Tag someone below who would be interested in this information. Share with someone who didn’t know that #naturopathicmedicalstudents complete rigorous clinic training! . . #medstudent #CCNM #OSCE #naturopathicmedicine #healthcare #patientcare #health #medicine #womeninstem
