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'
