About The Author ☥ Blogger

Doctor comes from a Latin word that means 'teacher.' So, when a teacher teaches us something, we take what was taught that resonates with us and apply it to our life. While a doctor may know more about anatomy, physiology, medicine, etc. there is no one-size-fits-all health strategy and no one knows our body more than we do. Our life is in our hands. Our body is a self-healing genius. There has never been and will never be a machine that can do what our body can do. Even if a 50-year-old person has a heart attack, it means that their heart ran for 50 years straight on bad fuel and under high stress. What machine can do that? A car can't even handle a dose of sugar in its gas tank. If we give our body what it needs, our body will heal itself. Although I am also an avid student of Indigenous healing practices, my work is focused on 'teaching' people how to give their body what it needs ☥ helping people to transcend social programming in order to connect with, listen to and take actions based on their innate wisdom. One of my clients once told me that I popped up on her shoulder like a little angel one day and helped her to make a decision that served her highest good. I hope that she will one day recognize herself as that little angel. In the meantime, my job is to nudge us to actively engage in self-care. ☥                                                               ☥ Dr. Phyllis SHU Hubbard ☥                                                                                       Health Warrior Who Centers Identity ☥ Ancestry ☥ Culture                                    Advocate For Self-Love ☥ Empowerment                                                                Creator Of 'A Cross-Cultural Healing Haven'

Dr. Hubbard understands what it is like to be so busy with the demands of life that it can be challenging to make time for self-care. However, self-care is extremely important because all of the dreams that we have, all that we want to accomplish in life must happen through our physical body. If we are plowing through life, while dragging our body behind us, how far do we think we are going to go?”
