Our families are incredible teachers, and they also provide a place for us to heal together. To develop and practice self-ownership while maintaining loving connection. Through my own evolution, I’ve discovered that this is an art and a practice. None of us will do this perfectly. We will stumble. We will fall. And that’s OK. Here’s what else I’ve learned: guidelines, and a shared ethos, are tremendously helpful. I originally created this for my own family, and now I’d like to share it with you. Download this free one-page pdf to better anchor your family dynamics.

Launched in 2011, Take Back Your Health™ (TBYH) began as a small health conference in Washington, D.C., focused on bringing health experts, people and products together to provide inspiration and support for living a healthier lifestyle. Since then, we have held events across the country with international attendance and have transitioned into an online community of inspiration and resources for healthy living.

In Spring of 2021, Take Back Your Health™ launched an online directory of health resources including healers, holistic health practitioners, products and companies who are doing right by our health. Our local print guides will launch in summer of 2022.

We are creating a new and unique learning environment for our children in response to the collapse in health, family and community values seen over recent years. The Compass Center for Learning and Exploration will become a biodynamic farm offering enrichment programs for children ages 3 to 18. We currently offer a Little Sprouts Program for ages 3 to 5 and respect your health freedom! We are also fundraising to purchase our permanent location. We not only want to improve the outlook of our children’s lives here in Charlottesville, Virginia, but we hope to create a living, working template that others can recreate in their own communities around the world.
