Experience: Alethea has been taking clients and helping people help their animals and livestock for almost 15 years.
She has 25+ years of experience gathering medicinal and edible plants throughout the Midwest and brings this first hand knowledge to her classes.
Alethea uses classical homeopathy as it relates to both humans and animals.
Her background in wildlife, ecosystems and plants has enabled her to teach people about how medicinal plants fit into the world and can enrich people's lives.
Because she lives and works on an organic farm, raising fiber sheep, dairy goats and other livestock and animals, she also uses natural methods of maintaining and restoring health for livestock. Her extensive studies on animal nutritional needs and minerals as they relate to health allow her to educate farmers and livestock owners on restoring balance to the whole herd, from the ground up.

Natural Health Consulting
Traditional Naturopathy involves helping people to make healthy lifestyle and nutrition choices, empowering them to help themselves attain true health. In traditional naturopathy, the whole person is taken into account in all recommendations. Physical, spiritual and emotional health are seen as equally important to well-being and clients are given educational choices about the whole person (sometimes called holistic). Each person is treated with respect, most appointments with clients last at least an hour, giving the practitioner and client time to understand each other and elaborate on suggestions for healthy changes that the client can incorporate into his/her life. The goal of a naturopath is to empower the client to make changes, the naturopath must be able to understand how a client lives and what nutritional and lifestyle adjustments that client is able and willing to make. Good health can be seen as a life in balance, when some part of that life becomes out of balance (through poor nutrition, lack of exercise, injury or emotional trauma) a person manifests an imbalance or disease as a symptom that can be a clue as to what needs to be changed to bring balance back to the person. A naturopath can provide educational resources to empower the client to make these changes, become healthier and then maintain that health for a fulfilling life.
Many people value their animals as companions and members of the family. The health of their companions is sometimes as important to them as their own health. More and more health consulting involves ways to improve the life and health of animals and naturopaths with the right education and experience can help educate and empower clients to make nutritional and other changes to improve the lives of their companion animals also.
Naturopaths use education as a tool to put health into the hands of the client, they do not diagnose diseases, prescribe medications or treat ailments, in either people or animals. Instead, they work with the client to educate the client about nutrition and how this relates to health and disease, herbs and how they have been traditionally used to return balance to the body and other therapies and their uses. Each client must decide in what ways they will live their lives to the fullest, the naturopath is there to give them the tools they need to succeed.
